Bloody hell, that was some time ago. If I remember correctly, my first build was something like:
CPU
entium 75mhz
Mobo: n/a
RAM: 4mb (i think)
G/C: Onboard (upgraded to ICA card which was about 25mb I think)
HDD: 20mb piece of junk I think
The first PC I owned Acorn with 2x 5.5" floppy drives

No sure about the other internals,
It only did 16 colours and I upgraded the gpu to one that did 256 so I could play sim city 2000
And I put windows 95 on it off 20+ floppy disks!

Those were the days. Windows 98 was no better.
Pfff...
Started on the folks 'portable' computer, a fine Osborne, playing possibly the finest game ever - Orb of Zot!
...Dual 5¼-inch, single-sided 40 track floppy disk drives ("dual density" upgrade available)
4 MHz Z80 CPU
64 kilobytes main memory
Fold-down 69 key detachable keyboard doubling as the computer case's lid
5-inch, 52 character × 24 line monochrome CRT display, mapped as a window on 128 × 32 character display memory...
Talk about power!
