Hey @gamevortex.. Lucky you to have gotten a chance to visit something like it for yourself... Hope some day I will also get to see it in person.

This post of yours got me a little nostalgic. Took me back to my school days when my dad had got me my first PC. Even that machine was a dream machine back then with some mind boggling specs. Let me just give you a gist of it, on which I used to play counter strike, GTA San Andreas, NFS Most Wanted etc. So here they are

  1. Processor: Intel Dual Core 1.5 Ghz
  2. RAM: 512 MB
  3. Storage: 80GB SATA drive etc.
