I've had poor results, trying to get the brain up and running, running well for any amount of time. I've tried 3 machines. They have all been AMD /nvidia based. So that led me to ask this question to all brain users. Could you copy and paste your specs to a reply and summarize any issues you may have had, or wether it works flawlessly? This may help people looking to start out, knowing they want to implement a Fusion Brain at some point. I know I'm in the market for a new system, and really, I would like some input to help me decide what to buy.

Hopefully these will be the only negative ones on the thread.

I really am sorry some of you guys are having USB issues, but it's really tough to troubleshoot without a non-working computer.

Well i haven't built the system yet that I will eventually put into my car and run these brains off of but for now im using my desktop to create the skin and images and things, and the brain is hooked up to my laptop to test everything. After a slight driver issue that was solved shortly after asking 2k1Toaster about it, it seems to be working good other than my beginner programming skills with my skin.

Intel must make a boatload off of these 82801 chips. Holy cow.
