Your dream PC when you were younger?

[vt3c]

So, simply put, what do you think was your DREAM PC back when you were a kid? Like, what PC would you have built back in the day if you had the cash and/or knowledge? Mine would be like this:

AMD Athlon 64x2 6400+ 
3GB DDR2

WinXP Media Center Edition (fav version of XP)
ATI Radeon HD 4890

2x500GB Drives in RAID

Asus M2N-SLI series board

Wrap it all in a Lian-Li PC-7B

 

 

 

[Guest Kloaked]

Well to be realistic, I knew next to nothing about PC's back in the day. I only knew enough to be dangerous with them.

 

So my dream PC was the one my mom bought because I didn't know anything about specs. I just knew we had an Intel CPU and an Nvidia GPU. It was a cheap-ish HP Slim desktop.

I hadn't discovered building pcs until a year or so ago, maybe two years I can't remember, but before that I had really really wanted an alienware laptop because one of my friends has one, but now I've changed my mind and definitely do not want an alienware. (Overpriced, Un-balanced, Bulky, Kinda ugly, Cheap quality, Etc..)

My old pc was more crappier than that

64 X2 3600+

2 GB DDR2

2 320GB HDD(Don't know if it was in raid or not)

HD 5450

[S1AYA7]

Ooh that's a tough one. For me it would probably be:

Intel Pentium 4

3GB DDR2

Windows XP Professional (I was just such a pro that I used professional but never even knew the difference at the time)

ATI Radeon 9000

Not sure on hard drive because I was impressed by anything bigger than 80GB at the time

Anything that worked

Whatever I had lying around at the time

My old pc was more crappier than that

64 X2 3600+

2 GB DDR2

2 320GB HDD(Don't know if it was in raid or not)

HD 5450

Wow I remember the 5450, I just upgraded from that recently to a 6670. Those were the days

You knew nothing that caused you to buy a Dell desktop.

[Electrick]

intel pentium

4gb ddr3

windows xp

100gb hdd

[connorpiper]

Sony VAIO E series (Red and Black version)

With a 2nd Gen i7 and some crap AMD GPU.

[Mistersprinkles]

I'm giving away my age, but I'd say when I was 7 years old, the computer I most wanted was a Commodore Amiga 3000. Ended up with a 500...

Then when I was about 14 I wanted a Pentium II 333. I ended up with a 233 overclocked to 300 and was happy enough with it.

yes, yes it did, and to this day i am living with the affects of it

[elecxonica]

A 12 core Mac pro. I used to be a big Mac fan...

[Corefinder]

I didn't have the knowledge back then but I did want a pc. I wanted something like: http://www.800hightech.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/c/y/cyberpower-custom-built-gaming-pc-front.jpg (The mass lights)

Macintosh Performa 5200

 

Compaq Presario that look like this, with a Pentium 3, Windows 98SE Plus!, and Quantium BigFoot HDD

[DigitalHermit]

Something from Ailenware (yeah... I wasn't that into hardware until I entered high school...)

[Sors]

When I was a kid, I wanted a PC with a color display... :lol:

Didn't have a Dream PC, but I had a 1.7Ghz Pentium 4 on socket 423 in 2001.

Because I never thought about getting a PC when I was younger (since my dad never wanted a PC in our house, I was forced to use macs, no regrets tho) I'll post a rig I'm saving up for right now

5820k/4790k

16GB DDR4 (if I get the 5820k)

Z97/x99 mobo

2-way gtx 980s

[TheProfosist]

One of those shiny small voodoo PC's.

[Joshua Ondangan]

for me back then was a pentium 3 600B build. I was young so no income, just allowance and cleaning the car/washing dishes extra cash my parents gave me.

 

then when I had enough intel released pentium 4:)

 

so I decided to grab my self a HP Pavilion Pentium 4 3.06 Ghz (I couldn't afford a custom build since my dad wasn't going to sponsor me after he spent a lot on the pentium 2 build we did before).

[WhatComesAround]

One I'm currently building

[Helly]

had a 386 when i was a kid... damn thing couldn't run doom fast enough... so my dream was a 486 so i could play doom....

[decoy11]

I remember reading a magazine and they did an article on mountain mods. It still probably one of the cases I want but I could never justify paying $400+ for it. Oh and I would of gotten the 2 PC in 1 case version. So my dream PC would of been 2 PCs
