Very cheap & Crap case with builtin PSU
 
Gateway prebuilt system.

1300mhz athlon.
512mb ram
80gb harddrive
cheap creative sound card.
TNT graphics card.

before the system even arrived, I had brought a Hercules geforce2gts graphics card to fit in it!

that card was epic!
 
My first pc spec was a Fujitsu Indiana in black desktop style case, not tower.

Intel 486 DX2-66 (later upgraded to a Intel Pentium Overdrive 83 Mhz)
8 Mb Ram
Some standard VGA graphics (on board I think)

15 Inch monitor
28k Modem.
 
intel 600mhz cpu
Cd-rom
64mb ram
some nvidia card
6gb hardrive
15in screen
random hp case and psu

Lmao, i remeber i was around like 8-10 at the time and that 6gb of hardrive was so hard, sharing it with my 2 bros and my dad Lmao.
 
75mhz Pentium 1
8mb RAM
800mb hard drive

Was awesome, remember playing descent on it and being amazed at the graphics!
 
prebuilt Multivision pc
17" monitor
AMD 800 MHz T-Bird cpu
GeForce 2 MX 200 gfx card ( free upgrade )
128mb ram
28 GB HDD
Epox mobo
windows ME ( free upgrade ) quite possibly the most buggy, memory leak ridden, unstable OS ever invented. :eek:

needless to say i "downgraded" to Win 98SE at the earliest opportunity :p
 
First family pc was a Tiny P2 350mhz with an ATi Xpert 98 graphics card. "Massive 8.4gb hard drive" the ad said :D

First PC I personally had was my first build - Core 2 E6300, 1GB RAM, ATi X1950 Pro.
 
ex-BT call center Zenith 386 sx 16mhz. 4mb RAM, 40mb HDD. Floppy drive and that was your lot. Windows 3.11 or Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, take yer pick. :D
 
Some Amstrad thing with a green screen that cost over £1000 :eek: Cant remember much about it other than it played a game called North and South that was epic :D Then a Spectrum and a 386. Great times.
 
Ummm had a Tiny P2 machine but I was like 3. But I do remember our Tiny P3 machine it could play jazz jack rabbit 2 with no issues ;) But I think the cd-rom ate discs :P

But my favourite pc that I personally owned was the advent t11 with a P4 3.4GHz 512mb RAM. 250gb HDD and a 6600gt 256mb I use to play UT3 all the time :)
 
my first was:
fujitsu scaleo 600
1.8 p4
256 sdram
60gig hard drive
64meg geforce2mx (which i still have and still works, although the fan has broke :/)
cdrw AND dvdrom
17" CRT

earliest family pc i remember was an AST
100mhz intel something
32meg Ram
2gig hard drive
thats all i can remember. thought it looked kinda nice at the time (only recently warmed upto tower cases...)

edit: jazz jackarabbit. what a game XD
 
386 sx 25Mhz
4Mb RAM
40Mb Hard drive
No CD-Rom (cost a lot back then)
14inch Screen

I remember buying a new 170Mb hard drive for £170 :)

Also, I bought a 15 inch Sony Trinitron flat screen monitor for £450! Funny thing is, I still have the screen stored somewhere cause I couldn't bear to throw it out after spending so much on it. :)
 
All I remember was the CPU being a Pentium P54C @ a whopping 75Mhz. It was some second hand rubbish. Soon upgraded to:

Pentium III 450MHz
128MB PC100 SDRAM (2x64mb)
Can't remember mobo, had Intel i810 integrated gfx, which were terrible. No AGP slot!
Had two optical cd drives, back in the day when that was the fashion.
13.2GB hard disk.

Yeah it wasn't a great machine after a little while. Out of date quick. For what it's worth, the components I still have from it work perfectly!
