According to Carmack's plan they were using Intergraph workstations with RealiZm boards. They used Permedia boards for the Alpha port (scroll down, news from Brian Hook: http://www.quake2.com/oldnews/10-18-97_10-22-97.html) - and it was rather slow - I get a bit more than 10 FPS on my Alpha 21164 533 MHz with a Permedia 2 card (it's even worse on a GLoria XL with the Glint chipset). I still hope I will upgrade it to a Powerstorm (rebadged Intergraph RealiZm).
And here's a picture for proof.
And here's the full system he used
I'd seriously love to have one of those widescreen CRT's to go with my Intergraph system but the cost of freight shipping makes anything but local pickup a losing proposition.
