My first self built rig was in 2001:

 

Pentium 3 700MHz

Abit SE6 motherboard

IBM Deskstar 40GB HDD (overkill at the time)

Creative Labs 12x DVD-ROM and DXR2 MPEG2 decoder card

SoundBlaster Live soundcard

nVidia GeForce 2 GTS (epic GFX card)

RAM was probably 128MB, can't really remember

Monitor was a Philips CRT that at the time had a very slimline shape that swept in around the back

Case was probably something generic

First rig... good grief...

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+

2GB Mushkin DDR2

 

Stock 300W PSU

Stock fans, cooler, had a nice grid power button. That was what I used for the longest time, and I ran it on Ubuntu for about 3 years. Then I built my rig I have now and gave the old one to my brother. Dad bought him a 5450 so he could play minecraft on it. He never uses it because our 2009 iMac is still better at playing Minecraft.

That said my current rig is still by far and away the most powerful we have at home (because it runs 16GB and has a 7870)
