Mmmkay People... Lets get serious, you may have an Intel Core i7 5960X (or AMD FX 9590) now, but was the first PC/Console you had? For me it was:

 -Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

 -6GB RAM

 -ATI Radeon HD 2650 (From Sapphire)

 -2TB WD Drives

 -80+ Seasonic PSU

(This PC was home built)

YOUR TURN!!!

Have you tried to restart it?

My first console was a PS2. I have no clue where I put it.

My first? As in my first personal pc/console?

It would have to be my Halo 4 edition XB360 I got for my 14th birthday.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

The first one I had was the kind where the monitor and the computer are together. I had that until 2002 and then I got a pre-built from someone as a gift where they were separated. I don't know the details of the PC but it was Intel, that I know for sure, because I still have the huge CPU in a drawer. The next two were AMD (Athlon) and Intel (Pentium I believe), and then Intel (current rig) again.

 

My first console (that I bought) was NES, the first I actually got as a gift was an Atari 2600 from my parents.

My first console was my Game Boy Colour. Some older friends gave me it and pokemon yellow since the speaker was broken. Everything else still runs fine, and it runs for freaking ever on a couple of AAs.

 

My first PC that I had all to my lonesome was an iMac G3 that my cousin gave me as a hand-me-down to make room for his water-cooled Core 2 Quad. The iMac was a worthless piece of shit, so we gave it to a friend who sends stuff to Nigeria for poor children to use, though giving them one of those would just be cruel.

 

My first PC that I ever built was an Athlon X2 2400+, 2GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive. That was it.

 

I have abandoned the console market entirely. best decision I ever made.

K6-2 AMD Processor and something like 256/320mb of ram

or Something like that. It wasn't really mine but it was sorta mine because I was the only one to use it. Then they gave me some crappy mac mini.

Don't remember the specs too well but, it was an Intel 286 running Windows 3.11. 

 

First console was a PSone (the slim ones) which I still have. Got it around the time that the PS3 was released.
