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

[MrTiC]

HDD: Seagate 30 MB

PSU: 200 W

[KemoKa]

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)

Nice!! By the time I upgraded from my XP2200 to Ath64 i was on socket 939, with the A8N-SLI board. Still remember badly wanting a DFI Lanparty (THOSE COBRA IDE CABLES WEWT)

[Kyonkun87]

My very PC I put together was a Frankensteins monster kind of thing. I can't remember the parts very well because it was so long ago.

 

Back in 2003 or so I was like 14

 

Specs

 

Case: HP Pavillion 8750

CPU was an intel

had 80 gigs of Hard drive space

256mb of RAM

Found the cd rom drive in the garage of my parents house

Found a Nvidia GPU in the same place

 

 

It already had the motherboard in it. 

 

The awesome thing I played the very first COD on it for about 5 minutes and then it exploded. That freaked me out, because it popped and the computer never worked again...I was like "First computer ever!!" and then sad instantly.

 

I was smarter on my second build, just because I was older and less dumb.

[G.I.BRO]

Ugh... ohhh so many moons ago. 

Something like this... 486 DX2 66MHz, 6mb of ram and a 14" crt. I believe my system had a turbo button which upped it to 88mhz, cant remember now. All for Doom and the Original Wolfenstien! <3
