The game is dark, and was meant to be.  But a lot of people had problems 
with it being just TOO dark to even play.   So for the brightness stuff, 
have a look at those UC Doom3 guides I posted the link to.  They have tweaks 
for the overall brightness worked out and some explanations.
Video card.   I suggest at least a Radeon 9800 Pro 128 meg, but not the AIW 
9800 Pro.  Or for Nvidia, a FX5900.   These are the top of the DX9 cards at 
the time Doom3 was released.   For newer cards, a Radeon X800 or Nvidia 6800 
would be a good starting level.
Most bang for the buck currently IMO would be an X850XT or 6800GT, for AGP.
