First system you bought with your own money

1. Sega Master system - went half and half with my brother
2. Colecovision - Atari 2600 era console that with an adapter could play Atari games as well
3. Athlon Thunderbird 1333, Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard, 2GB Crucial Ram, 80GB Maxtor HD, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB which I built myself

It would be my PC, but I've upgraded it several times over the years so I couldn't even try to tell you what it originally was.

My brothers & I pooled our money to buy an NES in 1990, and a Game Boy later that year.
The first system my parents bought us was a Colecovision, for Christmas 1984.
All I remember about the first PC I bought myself is that it was an Acer. I don't recall the specs, but I'm pretty sure I'm still using the box for storage.

My parent brought me Sinclair ZX Spectrum (clone, not original). Specs for those who don't know:

• 48kbyte RAM
• cassette recorder as external storage.
• color TV as a display. Screen resolution is 256x192, and two colors per 8x8 pixel square (it may be hard to understand now)
  Later I upgraded it to 512Kbyte RAM (it was A LOT) an connected a floppy disk drive as external storage.

First system that I brought myself is PC:

My own first PC was bought used off my brother. AMD K6-2 450, FIC PA2013 Socket7 Motherboard, Diamond Monster Fusion 16MB AGP Graphics card, 256MB RAM, 10GB HDD. It was quite a modern machine and was the start of the downward spiral ;)

Nintendo 3DS

First systems I bought myself:

The one i've been using for the pass 5 years. Bought it my self when I was 16, took a whole year of saving.

Only thing i've added was a ssd and a extra hdd from one of the other pcs that died because the mobo went bad. And going from win 7 to 10 which is lighter on my system.
