My list is tiny so thought I'd post my gaming hardware history ;) still small but I've had a lot of fun with it :D

ZX spectrum
ZX spectrum +2
Megadrive
PS1
XboX
XboX 360
Sapphire 7950
Gigabyte G1 970
MSI Lightning 290X
 
9550 SE (but didn't realize at the time my motherboard had a PCI-E Slot thought it was a 9800 but I think I was mistaken, few pals in my clan said they ran BF2 on good settings so....)
Forget the make X700 PRO (replaced the above the same day TY PC World I honestly knew nothing about pc's)
Saphire X1600 PRO
BFG 8800GTS 320 OC2 (memory bank went on it, got a 640 in replacement)
BFG GTX260
MSI 5850 Twin Fozr - AMAZING CARD.
MSI HD 7850 OC - Crossfire (Current)

I remember my GTS failing screen was basically a checker board BFG were awesome didn't even want proof of postage come to think of it I'm not sure I sent the 320 in they wanted pictures of it but otherwise I don't remember posting it.

5850 was solid as a rock, ran 2 22's spot on my GTX use to suffer a little every now and again, took ATi a while to sort out a second screen flicker which was a major issue and rather annoying.

I'm quite surprised looking at some peoples history I mean I remember people upgrading from 7300's to 7600GT's and whatnot but I'm surprised by some peoples little upgrades.

Back in the day I forget the make but there was a 7800gt which you could squeeze up to a stock GTX and everyone literally creamed over it.

I remember my mate opening the X700 in my living room (at the time never built a pc I think I'd just put my P4 in a new case) and he was shocked at it having a what he said "beefy" heat sink and a fan....it was this:
