Dischord: Wow, I'm feeling inadequate...

Should I call a doctor?

But then I think, do I really care?
Yes you do.. ;P

comradegarry: Did you build that computer or was it premade? O.O
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.

I don't know....

All these guys, calling doctors, over a 4 hour hard on?

It just wouldn't feel right upgrading.

Hell with calling the doctor, I'll call the Media!

comradegarry: Tell me about it on the ISP, downloading it alone will take me over my monthly cap (if it's 35GB+ that is) :\
I don't have a cap, but it could take weeks(or maybe a whole month) for me to download it. Yes it is that shite.
F'ing Brazil (-_-)'

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
120 mhz
16 mb
1,5 gig hd
a 2 mb dimanond video card
wandows 95 plus
and a 24 speed cd rom

i was about 12 when i got it
this was somewhere in 2000 when pentium 1's were on the way out but still barley viable and p3's were all the rage

my current pc is a hp elitdesk G1 800 sff
i5 quad core 3800 mhz
12 gig of ram
an radeon hd 8490 1 gig video card
9 tb spread over various hd's
a blu ray writer
and wandows 7 64 bit


i used android before but i cant really get used to it
it feel too much like bits and pieces sewn together to form an os but the scars are still very visible

I'd never heard if this project before and yes it is awesome. What I have in mind will be a bit more primitive, Magic-1 one is at least similar to an 80286 computer, mine will be more similar to an HP-11c calculator.

Copy/pasted from Speccy:

Operating System
Windows 8.1 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i5 4570 @ 3.20GHz 23 °C
Haswell 22nm Technology
RAM
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard
MSI H81M-E33 (MS-7817) (SOCKET 0) 53 °C
Graphics
SMB2330 (1920x1080@60Hz)
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (ZOTAC International) 24 °C
Storage
931GB Western Digital WDC WD10EZEX-22RKKA0 (SATA) 21 °C
Optical Drives
DTSOFT Virtual CdRom Device
HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH24NSB0
Audio
High Definition Audio Device


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!

Like in the range of a Z80 based computer?

Seems pretty good to me, but I havent really tested it on the newest games. I play Civ V and Psychonauts on max settings perfectly, but those are old games.
