I used to build my own computers all the time

The first PC I got was a Philips XT PC with 768Kb of ram and a 8088 CPU, EGA/VGA & paperwhite monitor
The second PC I got was an ESCOM 486SX-25, 4Mb RAM, 210Mb HD, CD-ROM Panasonic on Soundblaster 16 ASP, VGA Trident VLB
I started to tinker with that, upped the CPU to a 486-DX2, later a DX4-100.

After that I built my own PCs, but after I had a lot of compatibility issues with my dying Pentium IV 2.8 system I decided to go retail again and got myself a measly 3810 Acer Desktop - but ended up totally reconfiguring the insides (RAM, Drive, Videocard). It was not good for gaming so I built myself a gaming rig - Pentium Duo Core 2.8Ghz, 9800GTS Nvidia, 4Gb RAM. Sadly the gaming rig is a little noisy.

Always had Apple systems on the side and use my MacBook as my main system next to the Acer Desktop.
