I've heard much of the famed cube effect, and I think I have an adequately powerful test box on which to run it.
Just install ubuntu gutsy on that beast, and then go to System > Preferences > Appearance and check the Visual Effects tab to choose "Extra".
For more control you can then install the compizconfig-settings-manager package (I think?) to get a GUI application that will let you play with all the crazy effects. :-)
If you want to stick with Fedora, though, I'm sure there are some rpms for that same stuff. But having a gutsy livecd handy for your installfest could double your options for the other folks who show up.
My home boxes that run compiz are a core 2 duo and an athlon64 (though I gave up and used 32-bit ubuntu on it). They both have old-fart nvidia cards and perform quite nicely.
At work where I have a few more tricked-out machines, I unfortunately have only ati cards, so no compiz for me. boo! -- Kendric Beachey
