It was a Commodore VIC-20, so premade. I do have the ambition of designing and building my own archaic computer. It's been done by modern hackers with relay and TTL chips but I don't think anyone (beside the first one to do it back then) has done it with transistors only. What I have in mind is something in the class of early HP programmable table calculators. I count programmable calculator, even early one, as computer as they are all more powerful than the first computers.

Are you talking about the awesome Magic-1? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jRgpTp8pR8c) That thing is awesome!

justanoldgamer: I see some people have already beaten me to posting the specs of their first computer. I do wonder if they still own them cause if not it's not really their computer specs, is it?
Build date: Early 80s
CPU: 1MHz 6502
GPU: MOS 6560
RAM: 5K
[st]Hard Disk[/st] External Storage: About 200KB per 1 hour tape or 160K per one sided floppy disk.
I still own that Commodore VIC-20 computer, its datasette (dedicated tape recorder), an 8K RAM expansion and 1541 disk drive (that also saw use with my later C-64 and C-128).
I'm sure someone here will beat me with an earlier machine, I mean the Apple 2 was earlier and more powerful (and costly since it's from Apple). Remember that you still have to own it.
My current machine (other than a netbook, an old IPOD touch, and an android tablet):
CPU: 64 Bit Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8300 @ 2.50 GHz
RAM: 8 GB
Hard Disk: 1 TB
GPU: Asus GTEFORCE GTX 650
OS: Windows 7
my first computer was an commodore pentium 1 Build date: Early 80s

I still need to upgrade my mobo/PSU, so I can simply either add another 760 once they drop again, or replace the 760 with either a 970 or 980. Aside from that, I'm pretty satisfied with what I have. I'd like to upgrade my monitor to something 1440p capable, but 1080p is still nice to me!
