I built my first computer in 2006 UwU

A Gateway from ~1996, don't know the model but it ran various PS1 ports fairly well.

Didn’t buy it but I got my own laptop when I was 8 years old. My uncle just gave it to me. Pretty sure it was hot. This was back in 2002.

Family computer was a Windows 95 Pentium Packard Bell.
My first that I owned was a laptop, I believe it was an HP with a Phenom in it.

Oh forgot to mention my laptop was Vista. I used two Vista laptops over a 6 year period, have very little Windows 7 experience so I have no nostalgia for it.

Parents bought it, but was still great. First comp I had.

This was the 2nd comp I had (9303, but it looked identical). I think I still have it somewhere, actually. Had a 133 MHz Pentium in it and 16 MB of RAM, a 1.5 GB HDD... Oh, and a baller 33.6k modem. Shit was tight as fuck.

Gateway was awesome. They didn't deserve to get bought out and killed desu. They also got to be a major name operating out of my state so that's also cool.

HP 250 G3 - it is crap. cheap build quality.

Lenovo Thinkpad T440s - pre-owned, chip on corner of body. still built tough - good lookin' too

My parents paid for a lovely PC when I turned 18 in 2009. AMD Phenom 2 x4 995, 5750 GPU. My first PC. I bought a HP Pavillion in high school, but it was very cheap and kinda crappy. I count the desktop as my 'first' PC.

Everything since has been IBM clones and parts thereof. Aside from iPhones never got into the Apple stuff.

Lenovo ThinkPad T430. I bought it new in 2012. Still use it.

Does an Atari ST count as a computer.?

I built my first computer in 2017

it was so long ago..., I think it was the apple powerbook g4.

Ever bought myself?
- Phenom 9600
- 2 GB RAM
- HD 2400 Pro
- 500 GB HDD
- Vista 32 Home Premium
This piece of shit cost me 699 € in 2007. Pic shows it after my 2013 upgrades.

I had computers before like the one my father bought for me as a child, it was a 1.6 GHz Athlon XP, also had a 300 MHz laptop that no one used (except of me). The machines went obsolete so quick in the early 2000s, but it was still capable of running AOE.

Some old Dell Optiplex from a garage sale. Fixed that bad boy up and used it for years.

obviously and that was also my first computer

hp dc5000 sff

my parents bought it for me

the first computer i owned was a 2007 macbook pro

700MHz iMac G4

Actually bought? 486SX-33, 4MB RAM, 120MB hard disk. Actually had? Mattel Aquarius with 16KB memory expansion.

One of those Compaq business PC's (Presario?) from the turn of the millennium. 1.6GHz P4, 256MB SDRAM and a NVIDIA Vanta (total PoS), 20GB HDD from memory. Found it odd it had SDRAM later in life, as I was under the impression those Willamette P4s only ran RDRAM. Doesn't matter, some dipshit toasted it by accidentally putting a registered stick in it, not that I've missed it, aside from reminiscing when life was carefree.

First I built came much later. E7600, GA-EP45-DS4 (absolute fucking nugget), 4GB DDR2 and a 7600GS and 200GB HDD I pilfered out of another machine. To this day, it still survives... If you can consider it the same machine, as only the DVD drive carried through until I removed it. Gradually replaced everything else one-by-one over time.

Power mac g3 7300 bought second hand around 99 or so. Think it had 64 mb ram and a 10 gb hd and was running os 9. Traded it for a pentium 3 emachine the next year

955 BE w/ 212+, 5770 master budget race.

Ended up being a QX9650 on a Supermicro C2SBX (thanks for the "broken" board, dad), 8GB DDR3, HD5870 and a 128GB SSD+1TB HDD. Replaced the CPU first, GPU second, about that time I did the case and PSU too (OG NZXT Phantom, what a fucking weapon at the time), and swapped the motherboard and RAM shortly after finishing school in 2011. Ran a 4-disk RAID 0 array until I got sick of it and got an SSD.

Come to think of it, the only PC's I've built since then have been for friends and family, and the last was just throwing a 1050 and SSD in a HP SFF.

I miss being a fat little nerd.

Can't find any picture.
Sinclair ZX Spectrum +. This must have been in 1985 or 1986.

A shitty Celeron pc in 2003 that got crazy slow and unusable in like 2008

>as I was under the impression those Willamette P4s only ran RDRAM.
I think that was their intention but they released low-end SDRAM chipsets later on, probably around when S478 came out.

It definitely looked like a S478 CPU to me, so that explains it. All I remember was getting it second hand around early-mid 2002 and playing all those corny old PC kids games on it.

3200+ with 9800pro from the local PC shoppe

I think it was a T420 that I'd bought with money I got from fixing computers for the elderly. I had a T60p already, but it was a gift from a family member.

Are you 16?

Don't really remember but it was some kind of AMD Duron, pretty shitty spec but got cool 4U rackmount case for it.

I remember spending $1500 on a duron PC

but what kind of computer were you playing that on though

Basically a cheaper version of this. I'm not even that young, but my family wasn't really wealthy enough to buy a shitty 5000$ type writer back in the day.
Sometimes I still weep in my sleep, because my first computer was Win95 and not some cool terminal OS that doens't exist anymore. Hell even MSDos would have been cooler.
