First PC I bought was a 1Ghz Athlon T Bird, Abit KT7A and a massive Antec case that weighed a tonne. Was the nuts. Cost about £1000 and about another £500 on upgrades over time. I think it ended up with 512Mb of RAM. It had two 18GB SCSI HDs. I was always repairing it and re-installing windows
Those SCSI disks weren't very reliable. And made an absolute racket.
Before that though I'd always ended up "owning" other people's PCs because I knew how to use them and they didn't. My mate had PCs back in the 80s and that held me in good stead when I came across others. "ooooh... VGA graphics!"
