I don't exactly remember the specs of my first few computers i had in the 90's.

 

My first computer that i ever built. 

 

Athlon XP 1700+

Radeon 9600XT

256mb of ram

Boss ass 24 inch crt. Called her big bertha. She didn't move.

 

This was around x-mas time in 2003. I bought the cpu used from a friend.

my first build is my current build. look at my signature.

 

i guess that's what happens when you were born in the late 90's...

 

i am old enough to remember my parents having dial-up internet and an old gateway pc that was as slow as molasses. They hated that thing.

Me and my dad built a P3 rig in 1999 when he worked at intel. It was like building a Broadwell system now. Simply put, I was 2 years old, and I didn't really build it as much as I did drop hard drives onto the carpet and laugh. 

The first pc I actually built with my bare hands was a system I got from, literally, garage sale picked parts. 

Athlon 64 3200+ Socket 939
2x512MB, 2x256MB DDR 400mhz RAM

2x80GB IDE Drives

Win XP Professional
Stupid dreadful shitty awful Nvidia Geforce 6150 LE. Tried to replace with an 8400 GS but lols like I had money at 12 years old.

Eric S. Raymond used an E6600 from 2005 until 12/30/14 or open source software creation. Raw data computations in excess of 18GB each. Core 2 Duos still have tons of life left, my friend.

I haven't built it yet but I have the planning for the most part done... Right now I've just had issues deciding whether or not an Intel CPU is worth an extra $100 give or take...

 

I know the OSes and GPU I'm going with GTX 970 since I can't really justify spending an extra $200 for a 980 and the 780 Ti will probably be hard to find when I do actually get around to building it..

 I wish the R9 295X2 was cheaper but it's well more expensive and right now Blender and stuff like that tend to prefer nvidia stuff...
