I got my first computer fairly late because we were poor. It was @ 2003/2004.

CPU: Athlon 2000+
GPU: FX5200 (256mb version)
RAM: 512MB DDR1
HDD: 80GB

My mom got a loan to buy us one because she knew how much I love computers (used to be non stop at the internet cafe). I love my mom.

It was a decent card at its time. Ran most games at full.

>>52522204
It was literally the cheapest nvidia card around. It was shit.
>>
>>52522219
It was the cheapest out of their lineup. Yes. That's like saying a GTX 950 is a shit card because it's the cheapest out last year. I know muh gamur's will say it is but in all reality it's a good card and can play most games especially those before 2014 at very good fps and with beautiful visuals. Just because the game isn't @ full it doesn't mean it can't look good.

>>52522185
I had this, but with 256 MB of RAM, and with a GeForce 4 MX (this GPU was terrible), but later I used a FX5200 for a little while.

Unfortunately both the original, and the working copy (back when software companies encouraged you to make backup copies of their software) don't boot.

I have a feeling that it might be the belt on the disk drive, as they apparently get worn out and stop working.

the first computer i used was an apple 2

my first computer i built from junkjard parts, i took a motherboard from a dead computer i found in a computer dump, the soundcard and case too, a hard drive from a damn laptop along with the laptops cpu

when i put it all together it worked somehow, although there was a beeping sound and orange light, i had to keep on restarting it a lot before it would boot, but it always pulled through
it could barely play maplestory but i managed to have a blast anyway

>tfw looking back the cpu was actually for a different socket than the motherboard and it still worked

Apple //e. Though prior to us getting one I did play with a friend's Atari 800, and learned on a TI99/4A in math class.

>>52522136
The 63x/62xx/63xx cases were cool. open a panel, add/remove components.
>>
it was a laptop but I can't seem to find any info on it, largely because I barely remember it.

it was maybe 1995, the OS was entirely black and white and had a whale for a mascot I think. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Win3.1 but I could be wrong. it did have a paint-like program.
