What was your first computer?

[felixbearpig]

Some emachine back in 96. That's all I remember

[Jedicake]

Damn, I can't quite remember... I think it was an early Apple computer, or Commodore 64.... I have vague memories playing Yahztee and Maniac Mansion.

[The Syndicate]

Some old HP

[nukem]

a 486, then a 586 then p1, dont remember if they were IBM or whatever

[Josh55]

My first computer was a big ass windows 3.11 tower without any mouse, however my first "real" computer I could use was a pentium 2, 333mhz I think, I modded it until there was no more with a cool case and light stripts, didnt change the fact that it was a shitty ass pc. 

[Almercenary]

Apple 2, well, it was my parents but they gave it to me, shame they threw it out, coulda been worth a fortune 

[ForeseenVisionz]

the pc in my sig are my specs. i got lucky becoming a pc enthusiast at the right time of being able to have my first job so i could save up and have a big budget and build what i wanna.turned out to be good.

[Keel]

Compaq Presario 2286, my dad bought it for me when I started highschool in 1999.

It was amazing.

[jaqiefox]

Tandy (Radio Shack) TRS-80 model III with dual 360KB floppy drives, and a whole 48 Kilobytes of RAM!

 

 

Taught myself TRSDOS without a manual and made my own single player games, like yahtzee!

 

I also went to summer computer camp in 1985, which had Lego/Logo, which used the Lego Dacta appleII set, a set which allowed you to program an interface board to lego motors, lights, and sensors using an apple II computer.

My parents had a Packard-Bell C130 I started on. Then my grandpa gave me an old Compaq laptop with Win3.1 and a greyscale screen, 4MB ram IIRC. The hard drive melted pretty quick so I used it by booting Dos with a floppy and wrote some simple Qbasic programs for fun. 

 

I have to throw my Emachines T1090 in there too. It was my first gaming computer. I played Everquest and GTA3 on it. 128 mb ram, Intel Integrated graphics and dial-up internet. Took 15 minutes to download a 2.5MB file. It was a beast compared to my friends computers lol. Put that in your budget benchmarks, Slick!

[lani100]

Pentium 4 2.0ghz

512mb ram

fx5200

60gb ide drive

[Logan2012]

I had an old Dell Demension 8400. It had a Pentium 4 clocked at 3.2Ghz, 512mb of DDR2, ATI Radeon X1800 XL, 320gb hard drive. And believe it or not I used this thing up into 2011 .

[Scia]

I got my first own computer at the age of about 10yrs I think. Some Desktop [the horizontal ones] from HP I think and a CRT monitor ofc. I remember it having a 8GB HDD which was kind of a lot back then. [When you were basically unable to fill floppys] ^^

And it ran win 98 if I am not mistaken ^^

My dad brought it home from his company and asked if I wanted it ^^

[Torg73]

It all started for me way back in the early 80's with a power house of a machine ... ZX Spectrum with 16KB, that's KB not MB or GB's and the most powerful and coolest computer around on TV was K.I.T.T (and K.A.R.R)

[TechTheWorld]

This but with a 7870 in it instead of the 6450. Specs in my sig.

[sirreco]

Gradiente MSX Expert.

 

Circa 1987.

 

Amazing gaming machine for the time. Light-years ahead of any console.

My first i own pc was a 486dx2 running dos 6.22 and windows 3.11 back in the day before internet and1 paid copy would work on every pc in your house. Think we did that up till 98 or me.

[SirReallySam]

No idea, but it was running Windows 95

[Verne]

Some used beige box with Intel 486 DX and Windows 3.11 in the early 90's. Most likely made by Compaq.

[WolfDeville]

Some of you won't believe me, some will think I'm a spoiled brat, but heres my first computer :

Vieil ordi redimentionné.jpg

That pic made me tear up abit, I miss using my 480's with stock cooler (Just because they looked absolutely beautiful) I currently have 1 of them in my mini gaming rig but i have both of them and my 670's on ebay atm and i am dreading the day i have to say goodbye to them all :'(

 

 

On-topic: The first computer that belonged only to me was a 3GHz Pentium 4 (Wasn't good with computers back then so I don't remember the exact model)  with 2GB DDR2 ram and an nvidia 7200gs. It was just good enough to play cod4 with lowest settings.

[DarrenP]

Compaq Deskpro 4000 

 

Ran Windows 98. 

Pentium II at 233Mhz

64MB of RAM

3GB HDD

1MB VGA Card -Ran a 1280x768 CRT monitor that cost like 500 bucks when it came out. 

Dual 10/100 NIC

 

This thing i had until the christmas of 2006, Than i got a Toshiba Satellite with Vista, 1GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, and all the bells and whistles. 

 

 

I still have this desktop, i use it for my old video games. It literally has never been connected to the internet. 

[That Norwegian Guy]

Olivetti 486 DX/2

 

 

It's not the first I used, but it was the first that was all mine. Used it for totally legit hardcore gaming.

[b45op]

MIne was a 386... this stuck around for a bit before I got a second hand Pentium 1 later upgraded to a beast of a pentium 3 wiht a 500mhz processor and get this 128mb of ram!

 

I stuck with that machine upgrading it to a 1ghz processor and 1gb ram for a long while before we got a Pentium 4, I then moved countries and started off with a self built system.

[Analog]

My first computer was a laptop, which I got in 2001. It was rocking 256MB RAM, Intel Pentium 1.2GHz CPU, 20GB IDE HDD and was running Windows XP like a champ.

 

It looks like this:
