First given to me was a Quadra 605.

4MB on board + 8MB added later
512k Video Ram upgraded to 1MB
80MB Hard drive
I was also given an external SCSI 2 x CDROM
MacOS 8 was already on there
I got a 28.8 Supra Modem for surfing the interwebs.
It wasn't fast enough to decode MPEG1, but someone made a cool program to transcode to Quicktime Cinepak.

too young to remember anything, it was a family computer that kept crashing.
Then Windows 98, then 2000, then XP, then ... yeah pretty much all the Windows.
My first PC just for me had a whopping 8 fucking gigs of ram, and we got it when Circuit City was closing down whenever that was. Quad core CPU, Nvidia 8800 geforce or some shit.
Played Fallout 3 and learned to code on that thing.

First pc I don't remember because I was too young.
My dad said it was an 80386.
My family has a pc shop so I've been pretty well off.
My first build that I put together myself was a c2q 8400 and a g41 chipset that wouldn't let me oc by more than 100mhz. Fucking bullshit.
Also, 8800 ultra, 4gb ram, shitty shaw trifan 860w psu piece of shit because it was cheap.
>>52114562
I remember it costs $100 for a CD-ROM drive when we bought our PC for $250.

for the love of god do not buy more into AMD it sucks just switch to intel while you can
A 386 of some sort. It had a 40MB MFM drive that would develop bad sectors over a month or two. A reformat would restore the drive to 100% health (no bulltshit). This lead to reinstalling DOS and windows and later linux dozens and dozens of times. I even had a sweeet isa 2400 baud modem.
Later a i486/33 OC to 40MHz with a cirrus logic AGP graphics board.
from that to a dual processor PPro with 128MB ram. Adaptec + seagate drives.
from that to dual proc K7 with 2GB ram
from that to HP Z400 workstation ~3.2GHz with 6GB ram
Lots of trash machines in between (even a nexgen), but these have been my workstations. Always Linux only on the workstation with a shared samba drive to a random windows machine, that mostly sits off.
Great nostalgia thread op.

This was the first one that was 100% mine. Family had a couple before it though. First machine I ever used Linux on in 1994. Had to buy an external CD ROM drive to boot from CD because internal couldn't be detected by Linux after boot.
We had an Amiga 500 and my dad had a Pentium 100MHz at his company, but the first computer I bought for myself with my money in 1998:
- AMD K6 233MHz on an Abit mobo
- 64 MB ram
- 6 GB Seagate hard drive
- Matrox Mystique PCI
- Sound Blaster PnP ISA
- 17" CRT (i forget the brand)
I bought it without an OS, ran pirated NT 4.0 workstation. To this day I have never bought a single copy of Windows (apart from license stickers left on second-hand company PCs)
The Mystique card was still in use two-three years ago in my SFF desktop so I could have dual monitors. It was a bit slow and had no 3D acceleration of any kind but oh man the picture quality was impeccable.
I still have the CRT mainboard in my spare components pile, but other than that I don't think there's anything left of that computer. The mobo/processor/memory combo was recycled maybe five years ago and the rest have been given away/recycled.

It looked like shit now that I think about it, when I bought the bulldozer case I thought that shit was cool, but it gave me little space to work with.
With all the bells and whisles it could have, nowadays I would rather go for a minimalistic design that is effective.

If we're talking "IBM 100% compatibles" then it'd be a 286 with 4 or 8MB of RAM, I think. Later a 486DX with 32MB, and then a Pentium Pro 200 with 128MB EDO and a Matrox Mystique/Orchid 3DFX. Quake'd the fuck out of that computer. My dad worked in IT and somehow managed to get all this stuff from his job for free.
First I bought new with my own money was an Athlon, the first 1.4gHz chip they made, with a Geforce 2 MX400. It ran hot as a fucking furnace and I never managed to get it completely stable, even after getting a serious cooler for the CPU and a decent power supply.
