My first computer I bought 4 years ago and it's a Pentium 3 733 MHz with 128 MBs RAM, a CD-RW drive and DVD-ROM drive built in, and I've since added to it making it 384 MBs RAM, and a Sound Blaster Live! card. I pulled out the POS "modem sound card". It has the HD in it that it came with. A 43 GB HD. 43 GBs is odd but the only time it ever says anything but 43 GBs is when it has a Fat32 File System. Then it says 42.9. Anwyay that was my first machine. It's running right now playing Lords of Acid and the rest of my play list (Mostly Punk Rock). Yea, I know, I'm young.
My first computer was an IMSAI 8080, which I bought in Nov. '76. The basic kit contained no (count it, none) memory and the only inculded I/O was the front panel switches & LEDs. I had to buy memory, I/O board, video, keyboard, cassettes etc., separately. Also, the kit was bags of parts, which had to be assembled into boards etc. Lots of fun and I learned quite a lot!
