My first one was nearly 2 years back, made a few others since then but I just keep comming back to my first build, for some reason I just love the thing, may not have the best specs around but.... hell I don't know, call it my first love I suppose. 

 

But one thing I always tell others who ask me about doing their own is get either a case with good cable management or a PSU with removable wires  (modular) You WILL hate the wires if you aint got good management or alot of irremovable wires just hanging around or even worse both.

My first PC that I built is my current one.  I built it last month.  I feel attached to it... because I invested so much time and effort into it.

What was your first computer? My first computer was an apple g3 that I got at about ~5yrs old. Just curious. :)

then a commodore 64 personal computer (I have an emulator and play all the games still)

 

first IBM was an 0x86, with 512K ram, 1.2Mb floppy drive and 14" monochrome monitor. First customization I made was adding a 20Meg. hard drive.

Ahh, hell, I'm going to have to dig reaaaal deep for this one...

It was a cream-coloured 90's computer running Windows 2000. Probably a Compaq, now that I think about it... It was awful. I used it when I was about three or four, it was my parents'. Then we got a Dell Optiplex. Pentium 4... uurururrghhh that thing died years ago and my old man still hasn't thrown the damn thing away...

Nostalgia tarnishes the present, but in the idea of good faith I suppose answering is alright. A C64 would be the first. My neighbor had to put GEOS on it for me so it would cease to be a paperweight. My best friend then moved here from Ireland and he brought an Acorn RISC based PC over with him. This would be the official beginning. Then came the big guns. The Amiga with a copy of Dune.and Wolfenstein. I actually don't remember which was released first but I want to say Dune. That is the one I definitely owned first anyway, having to beg my father to get Wolfenstein for me for quite a while. then we fought over who would play it the most. Up until the Amiga all the gaming was done on a Sega master sytem, although now the only games I can remember are Shinobi, California games, and a football game that might have been a Madden title. Again my father would play the Sega as much or more then I would. He swung and slam broke so many controllers. Years later he broke my whole Genesis after losing in some high level Sonic Spinball. In short, the past is never as good as we think. Let us praise and love our i7's.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

 The Wannabe is no longer. Replaced by the Flotilla. If you replace every part of a computer is it still the same computer?
