[27-bit]

I don't remember. I'm at my third computer and I'm thinking about making the last one a dedicated Minecraft server :)

[Emkryan]

My parents computer they bought in '06, I always tore that thing apart and just...did stuff with it. Now I'm the IT guy of the house and help several friends and family members and I'm majoring in computer engineering

LOL just made my first PC this summer. I used to play BF3 on a laptop (6770m GPU) at 720p with low-med settings. When I made my PC with a 3770k and a 670 I ran BF3 for the first time on it and I had so much joy and happiness in me from seeing it at 1080p Ultra at 60 fps knowing that I don't have to live under the GPU bottleneck of a laptop anymore.

My first PC was a Pentium Pro with about 16 MB of RAM later was upgraded to 32 MB I remember playing Doom, Doom 2, Hexen,Heretic and gold hunt on it, such good old times :D

[Bro]

That PC still runs to this day, and is being used by a family member. I remember it breaking down so many times that I was forced to fix it myself because paying a technician would cost too much. That PC is the reason why I'm in IT today.

I slapped a cheap ass gpu in it and a new HDD and it sits in my garage for music and stuff when i'm in my pool :D

Actually learned to program.... Tandy TRS-80 Model 3... Still sitting in my basement. Still works too.

I melted the CPU pins down for the gold. I got a nugget of gold alloy that is around the size of a 6mm BB.

I took the hard drive and now it is part of a RAID 1 encrypted volume that I store all of my stolen top secret white house documents in.

I shot the screen with a BB gun a few times.

[Tigerbomb8]

i returned it the moment i left the store because the stupid salesman lied about the specs..

[dgtL]

My first was an Apple2. I wish my parents had kept it!

Burnt down with the house, wish I still had it today, be worth a pretty penny to a collector. Tandy TRS-80 color computer. My friend still has his mini version of the same with the external floppy drive.

Keep it for spares :) Great if you need to diagnose a broken system

that is the exact reason why I always took apart my fathers machine! I had to diagnose, so his components needed to be the test bunnies.
