Packard Bell 286, was too young to remember it properly but it didn't run Windows, some PB front end instead.
 
my parents bought my first pc from ASDA.. was a one off deal i think

233mhz cpu
1.2gig hdd
16mb gfx

from what i remember
 
Mitac 486 DX 50Mhz
8MB RAM
540MB HDD
2MB Video (impressive at the time!)
Soundblaster with 2x Creative CDROM connected
14" CRT
DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.1

My parents bought it for me (£500 second hand) when I was 9 years old. I'd been pestering them for a long time. Even back then I was addicted to it and spent hours a day "tinkering".
 
AST Advantage as well!!
Dono full specs too long ago, but was Windows 95 and cost a small fortune at the time! Went out of date very quickly giving the starting price :(
 
my first true PC was 8mhz, 640k ram and a 20 meg hard disk

I had many machines before that with much loweer specs but these were not what is generally referred to as PCs
 
Amstrad PC1512

Mine was an RM:

486 processor
4MB RAM
1MB Video memory
500MB harddisk
2x CD-ROM drive.
Windows 3.1

All for the grand total of £1500 ish (but this was back when i was like 5 lol)

EDIT: actually, before that, i had a BBC computer where it took 5 1/2 flexible discs and you had to press "ctrl + alt + del" to start it.
 
The first 'house' computer was a 486SX at 25Mhz that we all shared. My first computer was a 486DX2 66,16 mb ram and a 4 Gig hard drive I think. Think my graphics card had 6 mb ram.
 
First built was an AMD K6-2 333MHz, 128MB Ram, Voodoo 2 3000 with 4GB Maxtor HDD, I think I've still got the motherboard at my mothers! (In the case!)
 
It was a 386SX20 with 1mb of RAM and a 20 mb hard drive.
It was acquired off a very naughty cousin of mine who used to (legally) empty offices for a bailiffs but his boss never knew what he was picking up.
 
History:

Amiga 1200

Pentium III 533mhz pre built from local shop

Athlon XP 2500 custom build

Dell Inspiron 6400 Laptop

Q6600 custom build

Came into PCs quite late as I had an Amstrad CPC464, followed by an Amiga.

P233 MMX with a Voodoo (2?) card!
Must have had 256MB RAM and I think it had an 8GB Quantum Fireball HDD.
 
dad brought home a zx81 when i was a kid, with stick on keyboard if you wanted actual buttons instead of pads
1st pc i bought was a cyrix 133mhz, i believe it was OC'd though, from a mate, 16mb ram, 500 mb hdd, matrox millenium grfx card, was great for quake and red alert
