Well I think Tony has got the overkill award locked up! 

I found the answers here so interesting that I sent out an email to all the DNNer's in my address book and got even more answers back - one of the top 10 third party developers uses a Macbook Pro for his development machine! - I like it!  So I've heard about all the high end systems and since I'm tired of being jealous.... - does anybody use just middle of the road equipment?  Who will win the crappiest dev machine award?  - There's got to be someone pumping out really cool DNN stuff on some hunk of junk somewhere! What's the least equipment you can develop on?  Win XP Pro, 1.nothin' ghz Celeron with 1 gb ram??????

Now that my curiousity has grown even further I would really like to hear what type of machine Michael Washington uses.  Or Scott M at Ventrian - bet he uses a both feet on the ground machine.  Whereas I would guess Will at Active uses middle to high end equipment and the boys at R2I probably have a NASA looking room with 52" wall monitors with a project mgmt system counting down milestones like stock tickers!  Of course Shaun, being the man with the money, has probably moved past equipment all togther and codes in his own personal holodeck!

Kinda fun trying to guess dev machines based on forum personalities - who can guess what Joe Brinkman uses?  Yeah, I'm having fun with it but learning quite a bit too. Plus it's interesting. 

 For "crap" - Until about 6 months ago I was developing on XP sp2, 1.3GHz, 2gb RAM and VS 2003, 80GB HD with a 15" screen. The VS 2003 was the worst of it.
