Man, I guess I'm at least middle age now. I remember thinking my first custom build's processor was definitely gonna have to be one of these brand new badass i7s.

My first PC, custom built, was an Intel 486DX4 100Mhz. 4MB RAM and a 800MB HD. Paid in a currency that doesn't exist anymore.

Mine was 75MHz and 8MB of RAM. Windows 95 was too heavy but WFW was great.

Man, I was a teenager, reading the PC magazine ads, wishing I had the money to build a system like this!
