Wow....   I am not sure I can even remember.   

 

I believe it was a 486 based system.  I know the hard drive was around 20MB and it had an external CD reader.   The CD reader was about the size of a modern DVD player for your TV.   I don't remember the amount of Ram.   Probably 2-4 Mb or so.  

Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.

I don't think I'll find it on PCPartPicker... Lets just say it had a button on the front that said "turbo" and a little LED to light up with it ;)

 

UMC 486dx 33MHz

Some Pine Technology Motherboard, think it was PT 430 with 64k cache

16MB of 72pin SIMM RAM

Diamond Stealth ET4000 1MB VGA 

 

Can't remember what hard drive I had, can't have been much more than 500MB at most though.

 

OH and Windows 95

 

I built this computer from scraps we got from a tip, bearing in mind I was about 7 years old...

lets see my first PC which I rebuilt because it had both a bad CPU and a bad motherboard had the following specs

CPU LGA 775 Core 2 Duo

Motherboard was so ASUS P series ATX board

It was in a 10 year old grey computer case that had turned a sickly colour from cigarettes 

I had 4 Gigs of HyperX Blue DDR2 RAM

an nVidia Ge Force 9500 GT

and a 250 GB WD Blue drive 

and the creme de la creme was the 64 bit Win XP it was running

The only things I remember having in my first built PC is an 8800 gt, core 2 quad, 120GB HDD, Antec case, 4GB DDR2. I'm probably still wrong. I don't need to remember the specs of my old computers.

CPU - It was either a Core or Nehalem Celeron

Mobo - I think it may have been a Gigabyte motherboard

RAM - 4GB of DDR3 1066

PSU - Some cheap 430watt power supply

GPU - Might have been a GT 210 or something around that performance bracket

Case - Just something taken from an old dell

 

It was for office use so it did what it needed to.

I might try do a resurrection of that system sometime.

Hey bro i like yo *vomits on you*

My first PC built (with the help of my dad I was a bit young at the time) had some blisteringly fast specifications xP

 

CPU: AMD Athlon x2 240 @ 2.8 GHz

Motherboard: Asus M2N68-AM Plus

RAM: 2GB of DDR2 800

HDD: 350GB WD Caviar Blue

PSU & Case: I believe it's a bundle, by Raidmax

 

Only way I know these specs is I recently rebuilt it with a handed down GTX 260, Antec 300, and Antec 650w PSU!  This thing is a monster!  Well okay maybe not but it worked for me at the time and now it'll work for my dad to do whatever Microsoft Office stuff he needs.. lol!
