Intel Core2 Quad CPU, Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (my work PC)
Though it was rendered in Megapov, so it only used 1 of those 4 cores

The time is taken because it's based on the crackle pigment - one of 
povray's slowest patterns - and I'm reading from that multiple times (once 
per octave, and 10 octaves for that picture). On top of that there's the 
huge resolution, anti-aliasing, radiosity, and high max_gradient in the 
isosurface.
