I think I was around 16. First time I actually build a PC myself, until then I only bought PC's.

I'm not sure if anyone has posted this before (I think I saw it one another forum) but how old were you the first time you built/modified a computer and what were the specs? (if you remember)

For a complete build, I just turned 20, back when the AMD Thunderbird CPU's first came out.  My first "aftermarket" PC component was a couple of years before that when I got 3DFX Voodoo 3 video card (and the PCI version too, not the AGP).

 

Damn these threads and making me feeling old!  :P
