for the size you could have an ATX case (NZXT S340), but it's ok

The first computer I ever build was for my school. The principal gave us an $800 budget to build two pc's that would be used in the computer lab. Around six people from out grade built them during lunch. They ran ubuntu and everything. We felt so accomplished. No idea what the specs were other than the fact that it was an intel cpu (I remember the stock cooler) and an asrock board. It's what first really got me into building computers. Needless to say, since then our computer lab has been updated with ~20 iMacs...

The only thing I remember from my first build is that it had a 6870 and was in a Zalman Z9 Plus case and it was painfully loud.

What do they know of England, who only England know?

If you built a computer, and your ram is at least a GB, stop talking. Lol. It was soo hard to build a computer after not building one for about 11 years. The technology has changed soo quickly!!! I remember having a 10GB harddrive and an 8MB Video Card. And that was my first build. I remember having to use DOS. Windows 3.1. That was epic. I miss Windows 3.1.....

the first one I built was when I gutted my 386 and poured in the parts for the first 486 build (486 25mhz) it still ran the original 2 mb ram but scored a 16bit soundblaster card, a 24x CD drive and ditched the floppy drives that were in there, more of a major upgrade than a build but it was the first time I delved into PC building/ upgrading. the second was when I went to a 486 dx 100 with a better sound card, a 100x CD drive and way more ram (if memory serves correct I went to 32mb).

I remember when you had a lot of ram if you had in the mb range and video cards, what were they? but I agree, I miss the old DOS 6/ windows 3.1 days.
