Doing some spring cleaning and found a picture of when I got my first very own computer. We always had PCs in the house but got a box of parts for Christmas that I had to put together myself.
I was already a bit nerdy, but this cemented it for me. Made a career out of it!

Ah good stuff!
I dont have a photo if my first PC build, but if there was one it would have been extremely similar!
The first one i helped build was a 486 DX 66mhz, was my dads, i think my first personal machine was a AMD K6.
So many jumpers and ugly flat cables, if you dont get your hardware and software right you can expect to wait a week for new stuff to show up to troubleshoot etc
Fond memories, I also made my way into computing work! Hang in there fellow nerd, we will inherit the earth one day, *as it was written*

Hmm…you would have been playing things like Civ, Wolfenstein 3d, Doom, Warcraft Orcs vs Humans, maaaaybe Diablo and Duke Nukem 3d.

Everyone is happy when they get their first computer. But your face express that feeling the best!
