What was your first PC?

[WillOfTheLand]

I still remember mine, it was a old macintosh with a orange and black monochrome screen and the freaking 8.5' floppy bays.

Nice! Bu can it runn crysis? My first PC litteraly was a Mac soooo..

[Analog]

My first PC was a hand-me-down from my dad  -  D Series Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Notebook. It is from way back in 2001

 

 

The first pc I bought with my own money was an Asus ROG G51JX and yes, it did run Crysis just fine  It actually works to this day, my mom uses it at her office for browsing the web and MS Office stuff.

A pentium III coppermine at 733 mhz

ati rage 128 vr

256 mb ram

I don't remember the hard disk capacity, but I ran out of it.

pirated windows 98 se

 

I upgraded it to me. Ran fine for sometime, but then my  printer stopped working. Put it on windows 2000. Eventually upgraded it to xp.

I don't remember the exact specs, but my first own PC was a hand me down from my dad's work.

Came with an in-win A500 case and Windows 98.

[Digideath]

My first pc was a pre built Pentium 1 flatbed with a tiny hdd and a small amount of ram. I didnt have it for long. I decided I wanted to see what the voltage switch inside did. It flash fried my cpu lol

 

My first proper pc build was

An asus mobo

1 gig of ddr 

An amd duron 1800 

A radeon 9200 se (later replaced by a powercolor radeon 9800 pro)

My first PC was a gateway PC! it had a P3 with an amazing 64MB ram and an 8GB drive with Windows 98!  But then after a while it died.   But then my dad got 2 dell dimension 3000s both had Pentium 4s with 2gb of ram and had Windows XP.

 

Later in 2014 I built my own PC and I am still using it till this day, the spec are in my sig.  

[Alexvdm]

i had one called optiplex 970, or something like that, for my first computer, it is a dell prebuilt my dad got from work, it was ok?, i mean, i could play minecraft so i was happy

[zogthegreat]

(chuckle( A long, long time ago.......

 

My first PC was an IBM PC XT with two 5 1/4" floppy drives! This was good, because I didn't have to swap my discs when I wanted to run a different program.

 

I "upgraded" it a few years later with a Seagate ST-412, that had a massive 10 megabyte storage capacity! People kept asking me "What are you going to do with all of that storage space?"!

[WhitetailAni]

An ASUS VivoBook V400C.

Core i3-2365M
4GB DDR3-1333 (single channel)

Intel HD Graphics 3000

500GB Hitachi HDD
Linux Mint 17.3

 

It had a WiFi card, but the antenna connector broke. It also had an Ethernet port, but the part that secured it in broke. So it didn't go online much after that.

 

Ran Minecraft Java fine at ~50 FPS. I would still be using it for Linux tasks, but something gave out and it didn't boot up.

So I removed everything from the shell (so motherboard, WiFi card (which did work), HDD, screen, keyboard, trackpad) and tossed the shell. Stuck the HDD in my PC, took the files, made a frame for the screen out of Legos, yeeted the keyboard, kept the trackpad.

 

That was a good laptop.

I had some cheap Medion (now part of Lenovo) pre-built my parent's bought at Aldi in 2006 or so. I was too young to remember any specs as i frankly didn't care at that time. It played the games i wanted at somewhat decent fps. Back then my expectations were a lot lower and i was happy to play some MMO's, flash games, etc. on my own computer and not the family PC.

[Mark Kaine]

Well the first pc that I remember i had was 

Pentium 

A hard drive 

3.5 floppy disc

Ram

 

And it was called Fujitsu Ergo Pro X

 

And it played 3D games at 60fps (or 30?) without a GPU,  i always thought it was magic...

 

 

Also PS1 graphics were "better" as in more stuff going on,  but the PC had a so much cleaner picture,  none of this PS1 typical "warping".

 

This was my jam (the track editor was and still is so good)

 

 

[Spindel]

Does my Commodore 128 count?

In that case my Commodore 128 with a tape deck (no floppy drive). 

 

Otherwise if we talk IBM compatible my family got an IBM something with a 33 MHz 486SX, 16 MB of RAM and I think one 50 MB HDD and one 125 MB HDD and a 3,5" floppy drive, so that would be my first IBM compatible. 

[Arika]

that i can remember? some pentium 2 whatever.

 

 

[jones177]

My first one was an Atari 400. 

My first IMB PC was on a card in my Amiga 2000 in around 1989. 

My first IBM gaming PC was a 486 I bought to play Doom in 1993 so 11 years after my first computer.

[MultiGamerClub]

Some 2003 Laptop that our IT-uncle got me and my brother when i was to start in kindergarden. I remember it had 2 GIGABYTE of ram and integrated graphics, it probably got beaten a few months later as i remember seeing pc-advertising heavily back then.. But.. For 1000€ back in 2003 it was FAST

 

Probably still have it somewhere in the house, just gonna find out what my password was back then.. Got so much malware and virus problems back in the day

 

edit: HP Laptop, think i know where it still is.. Time to dig it up lol.

My first desktop was one my dad and a coworker built for me back in the early 2000s. Then he took it back (had Windows XP on it) and I got a Compaq Presario SR(some numbers I don't remember). That was great until the power supply blew up after I switched it from 120V to 240V. Replaced the power supply and was up and running again until it finally gave up the ghost. Then in 2013, I got a HP Pavilion p7-1534. I put a Radeon R9 270X and a CX750 inside as the APU graphics were not holding up. Then in 2015, I built my first PC with money I saved up from a summer job cutting grass. 

[sub68]

First laptop was a Asus K60IJ from my mom.

My first desktop was a Lenovo H420 with a I3 2120, 4GB of ram and 1TB HDD.

This has changed to a windows 7 pc for older games.

I have i5 2400, 10GB of ram and changed the case to have 2 DVD drives

the case came from a friend

 

[Wano97]

My first computer was probably a Macintosh performa 5300 or 5260 which I got from my dad to play games on like Pajama sam or putt-putt. After that I got a performa 630 (I think) to do mostly the same thing.

After that I got a first gen Mac mini in like 2006/2007.

[abit-sean]

My first PC was a Packard bell 402. I loved the FM radio card and multimedia remote.

[Allan B]

My first PC was a 486DX33 with 4MB of RAM and a 2X CDROM..   I remember the specifics because I had to get 8MB of RAM to be able to play command and conquer original when it came out.   This was Dos 6.2 and Windows 3.1..  

[GamerBoyManuel16]

My first PC was an old Laptop from my dad, a thinkpad w500 with 8GB Memory, 500GB HDD and a Core 2 Duo T9400 and it had some weird ATI Graphics with 512 MB + the Intel card,
i got it when i was 12yo mainly for school stuff, but it could run minecraft xD

My first real PC was a Ryzen 1700, RX 480 8GB, 16GB Memory + 250GB System SSD and a 2 TB HDD
(i still use it:D, just the GPU has Changed to a Vega 56 as the 480 stopped working and i added an additional 500 gb ssd)

So i'm probably just too young xD

 

[Kyle Xu]
