The first computer that I had was a 286, black and white monitor in 1986 and then in 1993 my dad bought me a Packard Bell 486 SX 25 MHz, 4MB of Ram, 256 colors, Win3.1, 2x CD-ROM, TV-Turner etc. That was good POS until about 1995 until I upgraded just about everything but the motherboard.

Then a Cyrix 166+ (133 MHz) in a huge case that I received from my uncle. Bought a smaller case, larger HD and a 14 inch monitor, therefore building my first custom built computer. Thats where it started getting insane. Probably 3-4 computers later, I'm to my current machine.
