Oh I don't even remember... it was this really old beige Dell tower, I think with like a Pentium 4 or D in there.  My dad got it from work.

 

First computer I do remember though... it was one of those Asus Eee PCs that were really popular when netbooks were all the rage.  Had a single core Intel Atom, 1 GB of RAM I think (can't remember honestly), and a whopping 15GB HDD... damn was that thing slow.

What was your first gaming machine. This could be anything from a laptop, to a custom powerhouse of yesteryear. My first gaming machine was a prebuilt Compaq, from around 2001/2002. It worked up until a few years ago, when I accidentally broke it's HDD, then used it for parts and scrap. It was a dependable machine with a terrible os

• CPU: AMD Duron 700MHz
• nVidia Vanta LT
• 64MB DIMM SDRAM (not DDR even)
• 20GB IDE HDD
• 56K Modem
• Windows ME

I have to say, I miss it, and the games I played (mostly C&C Tiberian Sun). It was venerable machine that I kinda still feel bad for breaking, and all those memories (64MB of them) are pretty good to me.

Some Acer pile from Best Buy. I want to say my step dad spent $750-1k on at the time. 233mhz is the only spec I remember. I put a 4mb ATi card in it after they divorced. It was a joke of a machine, but it ran HL1 and TFC some how. Pair that machine with AOL 56k dial up and whooa man! I remember trying to find the least used phone number to connect to so I could get the max connection. Ping was around 280-300. Then I figured out how to save system resources by using a Microsoft dialer instead of logging into AOL. I wouldn't change of my setup at that time for anything. It has made me very humble when it comes to tech.

A on old HP one for me, which for the life of me I wouldn't be able to remember the model of, back in around 2001.
It was so old it barely installed Heroes 3, and even then it wasn't able to run it!
I can remember being the most excited person ever, looking at the installation bar crawling towards 100%
