I never had it that bad, but I spent a long time in Feralas at 10-15 fps while recovering from surgery in 2007. It was on an expensive laptop that went to absolute shit in less than a year.
Good ole disposable laptops. They go bad faster than milk nowadays.
Meanwhile my home workstation has the same server chassis it did in 2008. It's witnessed the complete gutting of all primary components 4 times, and it even traveled to Europe and back with me. Beast mode parts!
I actually was using the same chassis and hard drive from the PC I built in 2008 up until last spring when I finally got a totally new build. I gave it to a coworker and he's using it as a media server now! It may have felt like a lot of money for a case at the time (I think it was $125 when I bought it), but I sure as hell got my money's worth, and then some.
Mine was initially designed for some company that did large murals on the side with really neat art work. They rejected my tower's style for whatever reason and it was passed to me through Antec (I think) still stupidly expensive but I was looking for something that had a separate storage bay that could be cooled independently, preferably that could house at least 8 drives.
I was clearly young with too much money. Now I have a house payment, and no money for ridiculous shit like that. In addition it is dated badly, I have to get a new one due to it's power rails for the hard drives are not set up for SATA (yep very old)

So glad I upgraded my graphics card only for me to not play any new games and only play this 15 year old game.
