An 8086 that my father built. I used it to type papers (in elementary school) with Word Perfect and play "F-15 Strike Eagle". In the late 80's/early 90's, my father did some work for Tandy (now defunct branch of Radio Shack), and we got a few 386 & 486 server machines. I got a 486 DX2/50 w/ SCSI hard drive fitted out w/ 16 1MB SIMM's, and I got to keep it in my own room! It played "Wing Commander 2" like a champ!

Edit:
By the way-- I still have and use two of the keyboards from those Tandy machines-- best keyboards I ever used, really well made with great key feel and no fucking Windows or "multimedia" keys.

An old 486DX with 300MB hard drive running Windows 3.1. Can't remember anything more about it other than I played Chip's Challenge on it all day.

I played DX-Ball (a Breakout clone) on my 486 - it ran but took ages to load. When our house got the internet via a 56k modem I was dead pleased. I remember going to get a glass of juice and make a sandwich while waiting for Dogpile to load.

Dogpile? Was that like happypuppy.com (which, I just checked is "Coming Soon!")?

Nah, it was a search engine I used because it had a cool name. It's still there: www.dogpile.com

The first computer i ever owned was an amstrad black and white one, the first real computer was an Intel 100mhz processor, 600mb HDD, 10" screen and 64mb memory. It was a hand down from my father, but at the time it was hilariously fast. It ran Windows 3.1 like a dream, anything after that was horrible

I was also to young to remeber the specs, it ran windows 3.1 - so in that era.

we had some generic 486 machine, running some variation of DOS (not sure as I as I was +/- 2 years , 6 years old

all I rember was playing the most awsome game every which was TFX (tacticle fighter experiment) DOS box that flight sim its sooo good

the game was on like 11 floppy disks :O, I also have the newer ef2000 but dos box just wont run it with decent frame rates even on the e6400

I remember installing Windows 95 off a stack of floppy disks as high as my knee. My computer didn't have a CDROM - I eventually got a super-slow external one which plugged into the parallel port.

And you had to install IE separately!

my first computer was a IMSAI8080 with a 300 baud modem that my cat used to knock the phone off of at the worst possible moments

First I had an Aptiva it had

32mb of RAM
200mhz AMD-K6
like a 4GB hdd
ATI Rage XL
56k modem (aftermarket)
Soundblaster PRO! ISA sound

Then I got a Gateway PIII @500mhz
3dfx Voodoo 3
64mb of SDR SDRAM
11.5 GB HDD SCSI
SCSI DVD-ROM drive

That shit was top of the line, and its running Windows Neptune right now.

(first pc)

PII 250Mhz
64 MB of sd ram
12 MB Gfx card (Voodoo II)
20 GB of HDD
2 cd drives

(current pc)

P4 2.8 Ghz(oc'd to 2.94)
768 MB of DDR-400 ram
64 MB Geforce4 Ti4200 Gfx card
80 GB HDD
1 DVD rw

Macintosh Performa 5200

Compaq Deskpro 386N wayyyyyy back in '92.

I wish I could find some pictures of that thing, or at least some specs.

Peace.

I can't remember the exact specs but it was a Packard Bell something that ran Microsoft Bob.

Yeah, Bob, I know....

That's me in the picture.

This mother fucker

Some old thing which had Windows 3.11. To this day, I'm the only guy in my computer classes who can use it properly

Interesting trivial note: that picture is actually the control deck of some ship or submarine; the screen and printer were photoshopped in there.

My first own computer was an old AST Advantage, i think the model number was 611.

It has an Cyrix 5x86 100MHz processor and 8MB of FP ram.
850MB harddrive.

Found it in an dumpster 2~3 years ago.
Really like these old desktop computers, built like tanks and will never break if you just keep them clean of dust once in a while. (When i found it the fans didnt work, ran just fine anyway lol)

Still runs, but needs an memory upgrade so i could make it my webserver, still runs win95 just fine tho. (if someone ever would like to run -95 for some reason)

Familys first computer was the first model of the Pentium.
60 or 66 MHz or whatever the first version was.
Ran Win3.1 or 3.11 i think.
