What was your first computer?

[RWT98]

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

same here mine still runs 

[NoctHorn]

Oh boy, the first computer I used, the first one I used exclusively, and the first one I consider mine are 3 different computers.

 

This one I am using right now, the one that I built, is the first one I really consider my own.

[Akolyte]

Pretty sure it was this one http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-HP-Compaq-Presario-CQ56-Notebook.42285.0.html

 

Got it for over $900, today, I can see it was a ripoff.  2GB of RAM, 1 core, 220GB HDD.  It worked for like 5 years but boy it was slow.   I got it back in 2011. 

[TheKDub]

IBM ThinkPad T42, that thing was great for the $150 I paid for it, at least until a milk spill killed it...

[vt3c]

Custom built AMD K6-III Machine

500mhz
64mb RAM

Voodoo4 

Win98 SE

Was later replaced in 2003 with a custom built Pentium III 1.0ghz machine with an ATI All-in-wonder 9000 which we ACTUALLY DID USE for TV

[pinksnowmanshandle]

First computer I used?
Was either some Dell from like 2004 or some iMac G3

First computer I owned...
Acer Aspire (5517-1643?) (but it came with Windows Vista then got upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate worst thing to have ever been done to that thing...)

[Easy To Pronounce Name]

I forget what it was but it had 256 WHOLE MEGS of ram and it ran EA Sports 06 collection like a CHAMP.

[BurgerBum]

cant be certian.

first computer i ever ''owned'' was a desktop i.... kinda.... stole... from the library....

i valunteared. they were gonna close things down and i stuffed it in my backpack. ahh.... small towns. <3

 

after that i decides ''hey, i can be smart and figure how it works'' took it out of its case and kept getting better parts.

technically, i still have it.  just... kinda the ship, replace every single board is it the same ship......

its sitting next to me on the floor being a sotrage container. inside i have like 20 1tb HDDs all pretty much full. with what you ask?

music. i can garuntee you all mp3 fies no duplicates.

anyway its got a core 2 duo and i think like a gig of ram....

 

I REFUSE TO MAKE A MEDIA SERVER OR NAS I MUST SIMPLY STACK THE HDDS ONTOP WITH DUCT TAPE

 

 

anyway, my current pc is a hp envy m6, some apu i ferget. its good for what i throw at it. (considering i dont throw anything i need to at it. )

[wnxdemonik]

Well to clarify that i'm not counting old Atari's/Commodore 64's etc, but my first actual pc was a pentium 386 then a 486, I was a big Warcraft 1 & 2 fan needed the 486 for Warcraft II i think lol.

 

[IrkenWarrior]

I am not sure of the brand of computer that my grandparents had when I was four, but it was basically mine and i count it as my first computer. I am only able to recall that it was off white (which tells you nothing) and ran Windows 95 (and of course i remember the games).

[LemonSpice]

Mine first one that was completly mine was a dell laptop i forget the model number but it was from 2005 and it was the one that had a history of exploding in confrences

hmm...a latitude maybe? 

[sof006]

I can't remember but it was white and had a athlon 64 inside it. That was the first one I ever owned.

 

The first computer I was to ever use however ran Windows 98 and had a pentium 3 in it, I think? My mind doesn't stretch that far back i'm sorry if the specs don't match the OS or whatever, all I can say is that it was very old and I used it for Word and Paint lol.

 

 

EDIT: Or it was Windows 95, again can't remember very well.

[-ism]

 

Something along the lines of this. I know it was Dell, it was from the late 90s, and it was a blast. Ran Pajama Sam, Spy Fox, and Lego Island 1 like it was nobodies business.

[ric96]

Pentium 3

512mb ram

40gb hdd

[Mattr567]

Compaq Prestario 7000 Win 98SE gaming rig.

Modded with new GPU, CPU, and Soundcard from the period. (2001)

Still have it, and still works!

 

[SirDigbyCC]

 

Had everything pictured here except the monitor, sold it with about 100 games on disk and another 200 or so on tape for £20 when I was about 8 or so when I was given a Win95 Pentium system, absolutely kicking myself now.

 

[Tickletehpickle]

Some Pentium 4 desktop with 512mb ram, windows XP sp1 40gb hdd 

[Seed]

Mac 128k

 

[Pickle]

It was a laptop in 2008. Intel Celeron @ 1.8GHz with intel graphics, 1GB of RAM. 

[Owade73]

I started using the computer when I was two or three.... The only thing I remember was the Windows 98 logo when the computer started. 

[Helios79]

I thought I could post that I had the oldest Mac as my first computer, but Seed beat me to it. I was given a Mac SE with 1MB of RAM and a 20MB SCSI hard drive. It ran OS 6.0.2 at first, and then updated to 7.1 after I upgraded the RAM to 2.5MB. That little bugger could run anything that I threw at it. Wireframe 3D, Pagemaker, you name it.

[QueenDemetria]

The first computer I could say was mine would be the Acer Aspire M1641. It had a Pentium e2200(2.2Ghz), 2Gb DDR2 Ram, a 160Gb Western Digital POS drive(it was lower than the WDBlue, which is a much better drive), and a sweet but loud "funnel ram" cpu heatsink. I started off with a 66mhz pentium machine, but that was more of a "family computer" than something that was just mine.

[S1AYA7]

my first ever computer was a windows 95 which I wish I knew the model of so I could find an image. But this thing had built in speakers! and 32MB of RAM! completely top of the line... I could play Duke Nukem 2 on it without lag

[PaulKolby]

First PC we ever got was some horrid HP machine running Win ME - went back under warranty a few times in the first year and was general rubbish.

Next system was my mum's new custom built system back when XP was just released, had a whopping great big 120GB HDD, 512MB RAM, P4 3.06GHz and a Radeon X300se. Thing was a beast and played everything I could throw at it.

After that came my first own personal PC which consisted of parts of these systems when they got replaced in 2006-7. Was a good little beast.

ha lol my mom has the same gpu in her 2005 dell
