[karn_evil]

ahh, my first PC was crap but I loved it

 

It was a packard bell.  Had a Pentium 60mhz, 540mb HDD, 8mb ram, and ran Win95.  Don't remember what the video card was in it, but it wasn't very good.  Still miss that old beast. 

[ZcanKal]

Good ol' Family PC, a Pentium 4 based desktop, but this was all the way back in 2006 and I can't remember the specs.
My first personal computer was some old Centrino based laptop.
The first PC I remember is my 2012 Acer Aspire One, with a Sandybridge Celeron and 2GB of RAM.

[Druegan]

Heh.. My first "I guess you could call it a computer" system was a Tandy/Radio Shack TRS-80 model 1..

Specs.. um.. it had a Zilog Z80 processor running at 1.77 MHZ, 4k of ram, and data storage was on a separate cassette tape.. yeah.. like audio cassettes.. if anyone remembers those..

The first thing I'd call a "system" by today's standards was an IBM PC, sporting an 8088 processor cracking out a whopping 4.77mhz, 256kb of ram, a Color Graphics Adapter "vid card", and dual 5.25" floppy drives..  Bought it second hand from a friend of the family who had used it at Caterpillar Inc and was getting a new one provided by the company...

[Badger906]

I could go back and say I had a Pentium 1 setup. But first every for me should be the one you bought yourself first! 

 

For me that was an Intel core 2 duo e4600, asus p5b deluxe motherboard, 4gb OCZ 800mhz platinum ram and an ATI Radeon x650. Circa 2006! 

[Gareque]

So yeah, as the title, what was your first PC that you remember owning?

 

For me, it was a HP Pavillion 4450 lol.  Got it on my 16th birthday as a gift from my parents.

 

Had the following, whopping specs:

CPU: 400MHz Intel Celeron

RAM: 64MB

GPU: ATI Rage Pro

Storage: 6.4Gb

 

Take a look at the beautiful beast lol

 

 

So now that you are clearly all jealous, what systems started all of you off to PC building and what-not?

[PlayStation 2]

The very first computer I used that I distinctly remember being owned by my family was actually something custom that had an 866MHz Pentium III and an HP motherboard.

The first computer I owned was an HP laptop that had an AMD A6-5200 and 4GB of RAM.

The first desktop I owned was basically a rebuild of my older brother's former rig that had an AMD FX-4100, a Radeon HD 7850, 8GB of RAM and hard drives that I had lying around. I still have mostly everything from that rig.

[Firewrath9]

my first one was ~2001-2002 (i think? +- 1 year), some athlon (either 64 or XP), and an ATI r9600 pro 256MB. I think it either had 512MB or 1GB DDR1 ram. I upgraded it to 2GB DDR1 (2x1), and still have my ram sticks + gpu)

[GoldenLag]

well....... i dont remember what it was, but i can tell you that its CPU is on my keychain

[Bartholomew]

Hi,

 

My first pc was a no-name intel x386-dx-40, whopping 2mb of memory... before that it was allinones, amiga, c64 and the first first computer was a vic20 (with a gigantic just under 3.5 kilobytes (3400 or so bytes) free after start...

 

High-res mode on the vic was 160 x 100 pixels (text was 24x20 chars or so)

[Gawron10001]

My first pc had Core 2 Duo E8400 and Asus mobo, Rampage formula i guess? I could mess up the cpu. But i think it was it. 4 gigs of ram, GT 8800. I got it from my dad when he decided that he is buying himself a new pc

That is possibly the nerdiest, yet coolest, thing I've never thought of...

[Princess Luna]

My first ever PC was an IBM Aptiva running Windows 95.

[mach]

My first family PC was a pre built from a company that doesn't exist anymore. 

I was too young to know the spec or anything about it. (milky white chassis and CRT era, running windows ME)

[TheElectronicGeek1]

It all started when i was 3, I used my dad's old work pc. A dell with a pentium 3 and 256mb of ram. And some s3savage4 graphics card thing. It ran XP it's what i learned how to use computers on, and i actually still have the board, cpu, and ram. Then i got my moms old inspiron 6000 which is what i used for a while until i built the one i use now.

Spoiler

Oh it gets nerdier. It is next to my Opteron 6178 delidded 12 core server CPU.

[AmpedUpDad]

My parents had some clunker sitting in our living room for the longest time. I don't remember the specs... or anything about it really.

 

My uncle had a spare pc that he gave me when I was 13-14...but I can't recall the specs. That was about 15 years ago.  I don't even think it ran Diablo 2 well...if at all.

[Radium_Angel]

Bondwell 286 laptop with 1MB ram and a 20MB hard drive.
