well i started with something like this:



Now, I have 2 laptops only

Started on a 486 desktop w/ turbo button (about 50mhz), generic brand, currently dissassembled in various places.

Then got an aptiva gateway 166mhz desktop, current whereabouts unknown.

Then a pIII 500mhz HP desktop, sitting in my closet.

Then a 400mhz pII laptop, forgot it in my car in the winter and cold destroyed it.

Then a 2ghz p4 dell desktop, my parents use now.

Then an athlon 1.8ghz hp laptop, learned to code and tend linux servers on. Mounted on my wall, still works (I use the parallel port on it sometimes).

Then a 3ghz p4 desktop, last desktop I owned, still hooked up in my room.

Then a 2.53ghz core2duo lenovo y550, gave to girlfriend.

Then a 1.7ghz atom netbook, use it as a remote desktop vpn only irc machine.

Then a lenovo y560p 2.0ghz i7 laptop, what I am typing on.

I'm using a 2ghz dual core laptop w/ a broken screen that used to be my girlfriends as a headless server (ubuntu +ssh/vnc).

I have a few more that I have used as servers, etc.

I've touched built, replaced far too many things on all of these to even begin remembering, and I've used/worked countless machines I didn't own too. Anything from little appliance servers, to 3U racks, to gaming machines, etc.

Just a simple clone one. For ages

My parents had 486... My really first one I don't remember specs but it had windows 95 on it, and it was new at that time. Now I have 2 laptops, one of them is gaming laptop.

Commodore 64
Commodore 128
Toshiba T1100 Laptop
Apple II
Several different 386 computers
Packard Bell 486 SX 25Mhz Multimedia System ($4000!) --- but who didn't have a Packard Bell at some time in their life? haha
From this point, I started building my own computers.
I've built least 20 some odd computers since for my own use. I've built over 500 some all together...
Dell/Toshiba/HP/Gateway laptops

My current setups are:
Work 1: Intel Q9550, X-Fire 6870s
Work 2: Intel Q6600
Home 1: Intel Q9550, X-Fire 5850s
Home 2: Intel Q9550, 5850

My 1st was a compaq in the late 90's

had a AMD Sempron 1g RAM and some shitty Nvidia card

Now i got my 3rd PC
Intel Cor 2 Duo
2 Gig RAM
ATI RADEON HD 5670 with 1gig GDDR5 on it.

First machine

Then a 486 i played Doom on for the first time
then eventually upgraded to a p4 2.6 ghz with an ATI Raedon 9000 years later that i learned  pretty much everything i know now on
Then moved to BC and got a Toshiba Satalite that didnt last very long
Then an Intel Pentium D 2.4 ghz with a 256 Ati Raedon Chipset
Now i got an Intel I7 with 8 gigs of ram an Nvidia Gforce 9800Gt
Also an Ipad and Iphone, but i dont really counter either of those as Computers...Mac = Fail

My oldest is a think pad with some 1ghz intel CPU.
My current is an msi gx640 with 8gb ram and 5850m. Runs counter strike well that's for sure!  :-\  I also have a bunch of old desktops with p4s that relatives no longer need which I use for a minecraft server
