Asus A7N8X Deluxe with a AMD Athlon XP 1600+ @ 1.4GHz. Graphics was an nvidia geforce 2 256mb (I think). I had a 15 inch CRT and if my memory is right I had Nvidia active shutter 3D glasses that worked pretty much the same as Nvidia 3D vision does today, only the glasses were wired. The popularity of LCDs killed 3D for quite a while. Before that I had a 300mHz celeron and before that a P100 (Pentium 100mHz) but those were bought complete. Before that a Commodore C64 and a SNES.

 

Now I have a 4770K/Titan/etc (read my build post) and it sits next to my SNES which is still working and still connected to my TV with 15 games ready to play. The games save function still works to my amazement considering they are from the early 90s and saving with SNES cartridges relies on a CR2032 battery to power the memory constantly!!! That's 20 years those batteries have been going! (makes me wonder how I've had several bios batteries die inold Asus motherboards given they also are CR2032 batteries) I don't think it will be long before the SNES+games are worth more than the titan.

The one I'm using, after many upgrades, but it's still the same build.

I don't know that I can comment on this because I'm still not happy with my build. Only once it is complete will I say that I have finished a build. I have gone through 2 PSU's and 2 GPU's though.

I got Call of Duty World at War with the 9800GTX+ for free!

The case was the worst case I've ever bought. The front was made really cheap plastic and 2 of the 6 clips were broke right out of the box. Then 2 more broke after taking it off to clean the dust out, had to use electrical tape to hold it together and make it less noticeable. The buttons for the DVD drive broke if you pushed too hard or if there was nothing behind them.

 

I used this system until 2011 and upgraded to the system I have now.
