Me? I have everything maxed out and it is BEAUTIFUL! Runs at a nice, calm 30fps, even with Antialiasing.
The particle/distortion effects are AMAZING! And the textures are like 3x as high resolution as generals. Shame texture resolution isn't higher, things get ugly in some places when zoomed in.
Graphics settings?

I'll have everything set to max 
. Once the game doesn't error anymore. It looked awesome in the demo mission.

Medium-High, but my Windows stresses that the virtual memory runs out.
Going to upgrade my pc with a new vidcard and some more ram, along with a fresh install of WindowsXP.

A modest gaming rig.
AMD Athlon 64 4000+ (Best singlecore you can buy)
1GB Kingston DDR
AMD ATI Radeon X1600XT PCI-E 256mb
Crossfire-Supported (Dual PCIE) ECS Mobo
Viewsonic 19"
Soundblaster HD Audio Card
160GB HDD
Meh, it's not great, but it does the trick for me.

It's not great if you compare it to PCs sold in shops at the moment, but it's good compared to what most people have.Meh, it's not great, but it does the trick for me.
Daz, what kind of system do you plan to buy? Unless that goes too much offtopic

An athlon dual core of some sort, Ati X1800 (at least) and 2GB RAM.
Although I haven't looked at RAM prices lately so that might have to be knocked down to 1GB.
I'm basically going for being able to run Battlestations Midway on highest (so I'm going by the 'optimum' settings on the back of its box) as that's the newest game I've got that requires a fairly high spec.
Which should mean I can run C&C3 on high aswell as anything that comes out in the nearish future.

I bought 2 GB RAM for around 210 euros (about 140 pounds). Not sure how prices are in England or what you find acceptable.
I think you should be able to play C&C3 on high settings yeah, depends what resolution you pick of course but as long as you don't pick something very high you should be fine.

Everything sold in shops sucks. I build my own, and I'm overclocked!

Well I meant, parts that are available now. Sorry, a bit of bad wording on my part. I selected all the specific parts I wanted and it turned out that for a quite small fee the shop could put it all together so I opted for that.
Out of curiosity, what part(s) did you overclock?

We (members of my household) have pretty much always built our own PCs, occasionally build them for other people aswell. Not had a store bought PC since Tiberium Dawn was around 
The main problem I find with anything store bought is all the utter shite that's installed on them, I spent a good hour uninstalling rubbish from my sister's laptop.
I don't overclock personally, I know you can normally go a fair way over the specified clock speed before having problems but I don't have the money to risk burning out expensive bits of my pc.

The shop only put it together for me, they didn't install anything. Otherwise I agree, some install a lot of junk.

Graphics card and CPU. I refuse to touch the RAM, supposedly its a bit more risky.
And as for cooling, I do believe that my custom-built liquid nitrogen is cool enough to keep my components from breaking.
Well, that's for my graphics card. The CPU uses a standard overclocking kit.
I couldn't buy nitrogen in enough quantity to keep a CPU cool for a month, the chips eat the stuff up pretty fast.
Another note, The system has swappable CPU mounts so I can use this in ANY PC I build or buy. Not wasteful!
