What was your first computer?

[Admiaczking]

AMD E-450, Radeon 6320, 4GB RAM, 1600x900 display, 19", 500GB 7200RPM

[RisingHermit]

Honestly don't remember much about my 1st PC. All I know, is that it was a Compaq from around 1997 that ran windows 95.

[bry.yyyy]

My current build is my first ever computer build at 2011 with i5 2320 4 gb ram onboard graphics asus p8h61 m lx plus and 1 tb hdd (cause i'm 14 now lol)

[Tyler Cheng]

the 1st one i build is when i was 12, my brother showed me once and i do it until now

 

1st build 

AMD Athlon II X2 245 (i think)

Leadtek GT 240 1GB

Asus mobo that i cant remember

kingston 2GB DDR3 RAM 1333MHz 9-9-9-24 (i think)

and some other parts i cant remember

the harddrive yes, WD 320 GB blue (still using now)

 

If u r wondering why i use my 320GB HDD because i bought the original Win7 Ultimate and i m too lazy to reinstall in the current build, the only thing left from the 1st one is that HDD

 

Now is 

AMD Phenom II X4 960T Black Ed

EVGA GTX 560 Ti 

Avexir Blue Led 1600MHz 8GB dual channel RAMs

[raultherabbit]

A 386/33mhz with a 50mb hard drive. All I played was wolfenstein and test drive 3. Right on.

[shadowblitz3]

My dad bought our first computer back in 2003-2004 with an intel celeron and xp. lasted 5 years.

[SirWibbles]

It depends on what you mean by first pc. The first one my family had and used a lot was a crappy old gateway. My first laptop was my personal one and that was a crappy refurbished compaq with a whopping 2GB of RAM and a 2 ghz processor. My first personal full desktop is the one I just built and it's a fantastic gaming rig.

[Syraz]

Tandy 1000

[nekro]

What was your very first computer ?

 

 Mine was a Compaq Presario 6410NX Desktop PC

 

I think this one was my first too! The gpu didn't have a heatsink as i remember! I still got all the parts!

[Headshot_]

custom built:

 

pentium 4 

 

iGPU

 

and some random amount of ram I can't remember

 

 

10/10

[ManWithBeard1990]

I had one of these:

 

 

It's an Apple IIsi. I know most of you don't particularly like Apple, but this one did come with a mechanical keyboard at the time. After 12 years of valliant service in a dusty environment the PSU crapped out and took everything with it, unfortunately. I think I might still have the mouse though.

[Dude]

Seeing as I am a younger user; before I had any actual knowledge of computers I had bought a £500 Compaq laptop with Vista on it. It was alright, had quite a few problems with it including poor cooling and a tiny 250GB HDD which was also pretty slow. Eventually, the charger broke and it had turned out that the battery was faulty.

 

However, my first desktop was a custom build Ubuntu-based machine. This was in my learning stages; it had 256mb of DDR-DIMM, an Athlon and a 500GB HDD (One dodgy combo). Eventually I left it for dead because even though it was relatively fast for what it was, it couldn't do much or run much. A few years later, I re-open it and holy ass there was a lot of dust. My friend offered to take that heap of crap off my hands and so I gave it to him. After he plugged the power cord into the PSU, his thumb basically blew up so he had to go to A&E. He was chill about it.

 

So my current PC is my third PC.

[VortexS]

Bondi Blue iMac G3 running OS 8....let the hate come

 

Those old iMacs were amazing, why would someone hate on that. I personally always wanted one

[Bouvie_11]

My very first PC was the compaq presario 4504 desktop pc. It was actually quite good at playing games. Played quake 2, mortal kombat and nfs II se on it. great machine for its time.

Specs wise all i remembered was Intel Pentium MMX 233MHz. 64 X CD Drive, HDD was 2GB. 16MB of ram and a 56K modem. Ah those days B)

I was like 6 years old at the time lol

[armycombatvet7]

This is my first computer.

 

Pentium MMX 200mhz, 64MB of ram, 3GB HDD, S3 ViRGE, Windows 98SE.

 

dual floppy drives like it wasnt going to go outta style lol. love it!

[Groflmeyer]

My first PC was a home built 386SX25 running Dos with 5Mb of RAM but my first home computer was a Timex Sinclair with the 16Kb memory expansion circa ... I want to say ... 1981?. I still have it in the original box. I was a die hard Tandy Color Computer Guy after the Timex until they disappeared. Home built a CoCo II from an old CoCo I with a special order main board upgrade from Radio Shack. Kept the Chicklet keyboard though. Then pre-ordered a CoCo III in '86. It ran a 640x480 resolution, ran Microsoft Basic with add-on's from Macroware? for the extended graphics features. It was every bit as powerful as the IBM PC of the day. Loved that computer, spent hours coding in front of a 12" Composite monitor.

The second one isn't hooked up ATM, I'm basically using it as a blank cover. I will hook it up eventually though. I don't ever remember a time when this computer had a blank right there, you could see the 2nd hard drive right there.

Cool stuff. I've always wanted to play around with a CoCo. I guess the closest thing I have to one of those is a TRS-80 MC-10, which is some really cut down home computer thing that basically has no software lol.

[VulsaviiK]

Some piece of shit Dosbox....

 

Then we got something with a Pentium processor at 166mhz.

 

Third computer had a Pentium 3

 

The fourth one, now that was a beast for its time. Had this amazing thing called a Pentium 4, and a GeForce3 Ti200. I remember we picked up that GeForce because we started to get games which required support for 3D Textures

[Linux User]

It was this HP beast at the time with a Pentium 3 and 512 MB RAM, and a CRT display. Well it was the family computer when I was 3. Well it was fun until the CPU died, I think it was from overheating.
