What was your first computer?

[KamiKatze]

I had my first PC with 6. It had some 300 MHz processor and was abled to play Command & Conquer Tiberium conflict and Tiberian Sun. Best games ever!

[antiquoob]

Atari 800 6502 8/48k ram!

300 baud modem:

[old reece frost]

Some old P4 thing, it was the family computer.

 

The first one I actually owned was an AMD acer system, it could play Portal 2 at low :3

[EpikFlyingBrick]

Dell Inspiron 17r 2011

[Frix]

I think its a Packard Bell IMEDIA 5061

My families first PC was the famous Commodore 64 back in 1982. The first PC I ever had that was mine and what got me really interested in PC from then on was the HP Hewlett Packard Pavilion 6350.

 

 

Back then, this baby was a beast, the only deference between mine and the one in the Pic above, is that it came with a DVD rom instead of a CD rom.

Today I cracked open the first family PC that I can remember. It's a Packard Bell ALT-COL2 from 2003ish. I has 256 MB of RAM, 80 GB HDD, an Intel Celeron D processor and windows XP. I think it died a bit as it takes about 20 minutes to boot and I can't even run the old Pinball game that came pre-installed properly.

[Starglider]

My first computer was the Spectrum Sinclair ZX81

 

 

 

 

My next computer was then the Spectrum 48K

 

 

 

 

 

Then my next computer was the Spectrum 128K

 

 

 

 

Then I got my mind blown away by the Amiga A500 & A1200

A Lenovo G570, first computer I had that was only mine, it was my Baby :wub: , Core i3 with Radeon Graphics, a great laptop, added more RAM to it, replaced the thermal paste, almost replaced the CPU, and I replaced the keyboard. but then the LCD screen died a week before my birthday   and it was too much to fix, so I got a new $1000 AUD laptop (in hindsight that cost a bit more than fixing my old laptop), I salvaged the hard-drive and RAM which I shoved in my new laptop. The HDD just sits with an eSATA cable, ah well.

lemme get this straight: you replaced an i3 laptop for $1000AU because the screen broke and was "too much to fix"?

*facepalm*

Always had laptops, never built a rig yet I really want to. (parents say no, laptops are the future quit thinking about desktops)

 

Anyways, my first system was a Lenovo T41.

[Stefan Becker]

The first computer I bought with my own money?

 

A MacBook Pro Retina from mid 2012 with an Intel Core I7-3615QM @ 2.3 GHz, 256GB SSD, nVidia GeForce GTX 650M and 8GB RAM.

 

I like both MacOSX and Windows, and I use it on an equally skilled level as when using Windows. Let the hate flow.

[DroPouT1999]

I can't remember other than it used Windows 98 and ran duck hunt.

[toms94z71]

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OMG, I remember using those in computer lab back in elementary school back in the early 90's, they had a few of them left in there, most of the computers were 386s by then. My first computer was an ibm 386 runing windows 3.1 and dos 6 which I still have all the install disk for.

Used this as my sole computer from 2004-2011 with 0 upgrades done to the inside, by the time I opened it up in 2012 after it sitting idle for a year it was the 1st time the seal was broken and the fans wouldn't even spin from the amount of dust

Nice!

Amiga=envy of all

[Probenja]

I remember it was an old compaq with speakers that you can put in the side of the monitor and i always got electric shocks when i touched them. It also had one of thise old screen protectors that went ovet the crt screen.

 

I was too little to remember much but it looked like this:

 

BTW, i had NO idea that they were JBL speakers but i remember that they had a logo like the image, if i could i would have kept them.

[Snorrlax]

It was a Medion model something:

Pentium 4 2.8GHz, geforce fx 5200 (I still see this gpu in stores for PCI E slots), 512mb of RAM and a whopping 160GB of of hard drive space. The PC was probably good at some time but I got it in 2005 and used it till 2010 because I didn't have money to get a new PC.

Dimension 3000 FTW

ahhhhh I wish they had at least went for the 3000 series

 

 

I've also been trying to track down the guy my dad gave like 2 grand to to find us a computer. Cause that asshole is the reason I didn't get a pentium D in 2005. And is also the reason in late 2010 when I got yelled at when I told them that the computer was running bog slow. "you ungrateful **** we spent $2000 on that machine not 6 years ago. 

 

 

If I find him, I don't know what is going to happen to him...

Used to play kotor at terrible frame rates. Had the best keyboard on a laptop that I've used to date though.

[antoainb]

Toshiba Tecra A8:

 

 

I still have it and use it, it wasn't the first computer I used but that one is dead and I don't know the model number, it was also a toshiba laptop with Windows 2000.

[gastew15]

Some creme colored cookie cutter PC from 98' I believe with a rockin' Pentium 2 Cartridge processor.. ( I still have the processor laying around somewhere.)
