Hehe, I win the worst setup contest.

AMD K6-III 400Mhz
128 Mb RAM
Missing the bios chip from the motherboard so my $1000 ROM emulators is now functioning as the less than $1 chip :-\ and the case must be off 24/7
Speakers with missing cable so one speaker is amplified by the built in amp and the other is only driven by the sound card (which is an old school ISA Sound Blaster 16 clone) :-\
16xCDROM
14" monitor
AT keyboard with tht AT connector removed and a PS/2 one soldered on in it's place (un-insulated :-\)
cheap 56K modem (runs like a 14.4)

In case you couldn't guess, I never spend cash on my comp :)

-Kev

P.S. I voted PC obviously.

lol. that's still better than mine :-\

My very first PC was a 486 DX4-100 with 8 megs of RAM and an 850 Meg hard disk. A ninja machine when I got it :)

Edit: Oh yeah, it had a Quad-speed CD-ROM.

I still have the same floppy drive and sound card from that first machine in my PC now :)

I stopped playing games after it got to the point where you needed to upgrade your graphics card every week.

Those games were after my time. The last game I actually played on my PC was grim fandango.

My computer is:
1.6 GHz AMD Athlon XP (You wouldn't have thought it the speed it runs sometimes)
512 Mbs RAM
40Gb HDD
48x CD Drive/ 4x DVD
24x CD-Writer

And that'll do I can't be bothered to put any more. Oh except I have a crappy 56k modem.

HA!!!  Technically my first "Computer" was a Texas Instruments TI994A that had to be hooked up to a TV.. programmed in BASIC and if you wanted to save anything.. you hadd to hook it up to a tape recorder and record the "noises" onto an audio cassette.

but then the first "real" computer i bought was:

486DX2-50MHz
4MB RAM
340MB Hard Drive
1MB Video Accelerator
MS-DOS 6.2

ONLY $1449!!!  What a STEAL!!!!
