The rendering is as bright and accurate as you get with a single PC driving a projector. With the new video cards, you can get a $2000 PC that is almost as fast as SGI's biggest box at $75,000.
Also, CaveQuake is an excellent tool. It's actually what inspired us to make CaveUT. Anyone who has an existing SGI-based cave should use it.
Care to help, instead of gripe? CaveUT's open source code is just sitting there for some dissatisfied person to come along and give it real time head tracking, stereo, a better control interface and so on.
BTW, any device that can drive UT can drive CaveUT. This includes 3D control devices, like the Gravis gamepad and the PCally AirStick. They are much better than keyboard and mouse, but not nearly good enough.

WireGL is a great, good thing! A way to turn a bunch of PCs into a wide-screen supercomputer. I encourage readers to check it out.
D'oh! Yes, it is LavaGiant. I just fixed the web page. Thanks!
