Concurrently I was also playing on Nintendo consoles starting with the NES. I can remember one of the first PCs I had being a Compaq with a 200mhz Pentium MMX chip. That thing was the epitome of bad OEM practices when it came to crap/bloatware, build quality, and customer support, but it lasted a few years and had enough oomph that I could play the old Janes Defense flight sims and some PC adventure games from the early 90s.

I went: Vic 20 C 64 386 sx-16 (cost me 3500 bucks) To upgrade land. I spend ~300 a year to stay "current", using a C2D 3.0 with 4 gigs ram and a 512 mB nvidia. Haven't spent my 300 this yearbyet though :) Fun write up!
