What was everyone's first pc they bought and what was the first they built?? The first one I bought was when my parents got a intel windows 95 machine. The first one I built is my current i5 4690k gaming rig I have now.

HP Pavilion 6553.  That shit was so fucking crazy... could overclock the processor to like 600Mhz.

[arronleeds]

first ever pc bought was 2013, fx-6300, 16gb of vengeance (still use), gtx  660 and a sparkle-power inc 750 watt silver rated psu.

[arvark]

Shitty 2000s prebuilt. Built one: The one in sig, with no SSD and with a 7950.

My first PC I got when I was ehhhh maybe 7 or 6 years old?  I remember my dad going out to (brace yourselves) circuit city(insert lulz here) to buy me the brand new Compact Presario something model with an AMD Phenom II and the PC now is about I'd say 8 - 10 years old give or take.  But if we wanna go deeper my dad had an OLD old IBM Net Vista one of the first and he used to sit me on his lap and I thought it was fantastic!  He also has I think the first laptop the keys are pretty tactile on it!

I don't know much about this PC, I was only about 10 years old at the time and barely knew what a processor was.

[Big_Chief]

Don't know what was in it but it was a funny yellow coloured case. Like someone had smoked a few thousand cigs with it.

Well our first computer as a family (that I can remember) was a custom built from General Nanosystems.  It had a Pentium 2 slot loading CPU and ran Windows 95 with that cool child environment.  We eventually upgraded to 98.  Then we got another custom built from the same place when it was time for windows xp, this time with a horrible AMD Sempron CPU.  Then I used a laptop from my dad's work with SUSE linux on it.  

 

Finally, in 2007 I got my first computer.  I desperately wanted an gaming computer, specifically wanted an Ailenware M7700, but naturally that was like 3 grand... so that didn't happen.  Instead I got an HP DV9000 as pictured below.  It could sort of play halo CE for the PC, and eventually got windows 7 and would also kind of run Auto-desk 3DS MAX.

Mine was a toaster. Toasts bread so fast that you don't even need to wait long! Other toasters just didn't compare. This toaster ran at 450F, but you could overclock it to 1100 watts - only $5 an hour to operate to use! Best PC ever. Still is the best PC ever, takes about 30 seconds to make my bread.

[starwarsguy99]

My first computer was an Acer prebuilt.

Specs were:

i3-2###

500 gig HDD

I have NO idea what model it was, who made it or really anything else about it, but the only thing I remember is that it ran MS-DOS.

[jaxjaggywires]

I forget the brand, but it was bought from CompUSA in 1993.

The first PC in the house I don't remember anything off except I was allowed to use it only when one of my parents were there. The first PC I remember something hardware related about was one that was based around a Pentium 166 Mhz CPU and that the 500MB HDD was at some point upgraded to a 2GB one.

 

The first one I bought and build myself had the following specs:

• AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Black Edition
• Asus M2N-SLI Delux
• 4GB 800Mhz Corsair DDR2
• ATI Radeon X1900 XTX
• 500GB WD Black
• 520W Corsair PSU
• Cooler Master Centurion 534 +Plus

Can't exactly remember what PC it was. 

 

I think it was like half pre-built with a bit of customized parts.

 

Pentium something and an nvidia FX-5200, cpu was definately a pentium and I had like 2gb of ram, then sticks started dying so I went to 1GB then ddr3 came out and I had like 512mb becuase sticks started dying and the mobo also started dying

An at could run reader rabbit...I thought a 386 would be required. Did that have Cga or hga graphics?
