300mhz pentium 2, 32 or 64mb ram. it ran windows 98. when i was like 13 i used to format that drive all the time because windows got slow. eventually i got a better computer and used the old one to run some sort of server.. i don't remember what it was. maybe some sort of seedbox? that would make sense but i don't think i thought about seedboxes back in the day. but i do know i installed debian or something in it and had it there. i ended up selling it, i don't know why. but i always keep a secondary machine with some services running. right now it's a pentium 4 with 512mb of ram. it runs deluged and an irc server

I was a baller back in the day, with my Intel Bentium D 840, 2GB RAM, and no GPU because I wasn't gaymen.

66mhz Pentium

I used to play all kinds of old games on that like Thexder and King's Quest.

I was pretty young so I don't remember all the details but it was a Gateway very much like pic related. I know it had a little over 1 GB of storage.

My next one, which more mine than the last one and was very similar to yours OP. An HP Pavilion 510c with

Around 1999 I had an intel pentium 2 411mhz. 10gb hdd 64mb ram windows 98 with one of the original geforce cards. Cost about $3000 back then with all the peripherals and office software.

Mostly played Freespace, Quake and the FF8 port.

Played the shit out of Sonic CD, Sim City 2000, Caesar III, Broodwar, and that S3&K pack that sega made. Even as a kid I was raging pcfaggot.

>freespace
Oh look I've met the one other person on Sup Forums that played this

I have no idea about the specs as i was six years old. came with no harddrive but a book of programs that you had to copy into ram to play. Giant floppy discs, like 7 inches. the thing was a monster.

Atari 800. This is not my photo, but I had the disk drives.

This was in 1994 and I was 10 years old. I only got to use it for a few days before my dad sold it.

oh, and the specs

Pentium 100 (upgraded to MMX333, such fast)
Voodoo 2
125mb of RAM

It was a pretty good machine, ran half lile , quake and some other games, never managed to make it run max payna unfortunatley

1.21 nigawats

2.5Ghz Pentium 4
2Gbs of ddr1 ram
40Gb Baracuda drive
Geforce 8400 GT 512mb
XP Pro with the Royal theme installed

Needless to say, I was hot shit my Freshman year of Highschool

I also had an HP Pavilion! I don't know the specs for it but it looked just like that. It ran Windows XP Home Edition. It came with Microsoft Works (the poorfag version of Office).

I just remember trying to install some dedicated GPU with my dad on some junk pre-built and he thought he fucked it up because it booted weird and he kept saying "Shit - SHIT"

Saved up a lot of chore money for that GPU to play some garbage Medal of Honor game.

I love you, dad.

>7 inch floppy disks
They were 5.25 inches, but you're right, they were big

i7 4770K
32GB RAM
1TB SSD
GTX 980TI

Were you just born?

buying a rig wasn't top priority on my list to things to get done. now I can finally afford it

Pentium-90, 16 MB of RAM, some 1.08 GB Quantum Sirocco piece of shit, and a venerable Diamond Stealth64 card. Was originally a 486DX4-100 but got board swapped some time after, either way it wasn't terrible for 1996, wonder how my dad managed to get his hands on it.

Don't remember much, I was only 2, but it was all mine. Still have the case with some shitty PMMX-166 build in it, picked up a real P-90 variant of the same system years later that I still haven't done anything with.

He probably had one of the Trash-80s that ran 8'' disks.

My dad bought a commodore 64 for my mom to do some paperwork with way back when it was still fairly new.

I believe we have a GEos disk for it, but I've never tried to load it.

We still have it (and a surplus one from the local catholic school district) along with a Commodore brand RCA TV monitor, two game controllers, two 5.25" floppy disk drives, and a collection of games burned to floppy. Pitstop 2, Jumpman(not the Mario one), Pitfall, One vs One, Artillery Duel, Pogo Joe, Strip Poker(Dad never let me play that one for obvious reasons).

Unfortunately the banana to RCA component cable is broken, and I don't have any replacements to try them out with, but they both still worked last I checked.

Almost certain this is model my dad bought me as a kid.

Dat huge ass MFM HDD

If by "rig" you mean first computer in the family I used, then I guess you mean this. OG Oric-1.

If by the first one bought for me, an Atari 1040 STFM.

First PC I owned was quite a few years later, and was a, um, surplus Pentium 75 pulled out of a skip from someone who'd upgraded to Pentium 90s. It was shit.

First PC I built had an incredibly hot-running Athlon XP, a fucking enormous copper cooler, an EPoX motherboard, a pretty high-end ASUS GeForce 4, and some Delta fans.

I want a 55SX badly, they were pretty much the ubiquitous microchannel system, and probably the least shitboxy 386SX-16 system you can come across.

They didn't use MFM though, ESDI was way different.

800 mhz Pentium 3 processor, 256 MB ram, Windows XP, was a p nice laptop.

Fuck I miss that.

oh yeah and before this one i just was always at my friends houses on their computers

Not necessarily. The first computer that I _owned_ was a Pentium 4 in the Ghz range. Granted, the first computer I operated was a 386. I am 27 for reference.

Compaq Portable II

Pentium III 600 MHz.
512 mb ram.

>The first computer that I _owned_ was a Pentium 4

So you're still in high school? That's nice. You little shit.

Using a Tandy here, but you can see part of the C64 that was my first rig.

like you're hot shit because daddy gave you a piece of shit 8-bit someone was going to toss in the trash

the P4 era was when computing /really/ started to make inroads into every household, it's not really surprising to see 20+ year olds who never had a computer until then

Nope. Mommy and daddy just didn't buy me expensive shit. That Pentium 4 was paper route money well spent. I'm actually guessing you're underage because multiple computers in a household was pretty rare back then.

My copy of "Programming the Commodore 64" on the shelf. Still have this book somewhere.

And for clarification, we did have multiple old dos machines, starting with the 386 I mentioned in my basement. I'm just not calling that my rig because that was my dad's. I used it, sure, and played some commander keen and king's quest on those... but they weren't mine. The pentium 4 was.

>all this talk about commadore 64

BRING BAG TERRY GENERAL

>winamp

nostalgia

This fucking guy

Compute! magazine and the C64 reference guide got me going. Wrote a Choplifter type game when I was learning assembly language. Had pretty much the entire memory map of the 64 burned into my brain. Sprites were awesome.
I was 12.

>goosebumps and programming guides

>P4 cpu in 1st gaming rig

Underage detected.

Thinkpad 760.

...

Some prebuilt with a badge that had an "RC" with a blue crown on top, it had an AMD 386 in it, and some Reveal ISA video card. The Sound Blaster inside was a huge piece of shit, and the replacement Sound Blaster 16 was the finest sound card I ever used up until the Audigy 2 ZS I grabbed further down the line

Pentium 100
S3 graphics.
I don't remember ram. Few megs
1gd hdd.
Sound blaster.(forgot which one)

commodore 64, unless you mean PC, then: Celeron 433 mhz, 64 mb ram, riva tnt2 32 mb, some sound card.

you should come and apologize for making such an ass of yourself

Celeron 533Mhz
64MB RAM
Riva TNT M64
20GB HDD

Soon after purchase RAM upgrade to 128MB because no Flashpoint for me on 64MB
good times

Every time I turn on my PC this was the first image.

that's a lot of games

Apple //e, my man.

>pentium 4 2,66 ghz
>192mb of ram
>the other 64mb were for the not-that-shitty-considering on board gpu
>40gb hd
>windows xp
That 192mb ram was suffering. Cpu overheated like crazy and I had to put the laptop on the floor if I wanted to use it in summer. It was also heavy as fuck, thanks to the CPU's massive cooler. 2/10 would never recommend.
Next year I bought a cheap desktop, which is still my family's main rig and I use it to play games when I'm home.

AMD Athlon XP 2800+
Radeon 8200SE
512mb ram
ran flawlessly until 2010

argh, cant find a pic of the case.
>2ghz penttium 4

it was quite a beast

Pentium II 366 Mhz
128MB RAM

Had a Voodoo 2 in it

Miss it badly :c

AMD 386 33MHz
4MB RAM
100MB HDD
13" color monitor
1MB display card (no 3D capability)
Windows 3.11
3.5" and 5.25" floppy drives

Didn't use it much as I was rather young and my dad replaced his, resulting in me getting his old PC. Mostly similar specs but it had an AMD 486 66MHz, 14MB RAM, CD, and Windows 95 but the rest was identical.

pc xt, 12mhz (i think) cpu, 40mb hdd, can't recall mem. everyone i knew only had a 20mb hdd.

Dang, lot of kids here now...
486SLC-25mhz
4meg EDO RAM
105 IDE HDD
2x CDROM and SB Pro stereo sound card

(well, first computer was Commodore 64, assume you meant PC though)

- 733 mhz Celeron
- 64 MB DDR1
- 20 Gt HDD
- No GPU whatsoever...
Still regret that purchase to this day.
Don't let your kids buy market prebuilds, fellas.

Pentium 3 500MHz Slot 1, 64MB of RAM, TNT2. Think I had a CD burner, that was cool.

Used to play around with music CDs and played Crazy Taxi once. Then I got a XP machine and the only thing that was main on games were,funny enough,Pinball and Solitare.

Not a "Rig". But the first PC to have for myself.

Was good for what it is.

That's a pretty interesting machine.

Guess it had a proprietary motherboard though? Or some simple AT or ATX board?

Found this image of its inside.

I abandoned it completely in 2003.
But if it could take any thing ATX like, I would have loved to keep it.
It was a great case.

Parents had 486 and even an PC-XT before that but that Pentium was first of my own.

>look like actual computers in comparison to today ones

Because actual technology intimidates normies.

They just want to be entertained and browse social media without being reminded about the mechanics behind all this

I got it when I was 12. I used it for playing emulated megadrive, snes, nes games and posting on Sonic the hedgehog ezboard/phpbb forums.
I used it for about two years, during that time I (actually, my brother) fitted it with extra RAM and a video card.

When I was 14 my brother built me a new computer with an Athlon XP processor.

same here, except my first CPU was 75MHz and I skipped 95.
