Hey fellow brothers of technology. This is the place to post the system specs of the first "baby"; or, basically, the first DIY computer you built.
Once our terrible X 12 Vista machine broke down, I convinced my dad to save money by letting build my custom-planned machine (which I was able to get Win7 Pro! =D) and sneak in some gaming components too. And only about 500 dollars for a system that plays Crysis 2!
I used a AMD Phemom II Quad-Core processor, 4 Gb Crucial Ballistix RAM, a Cooler Master Elite 540 desktop, a wonderful Asus M5A97 motherboard, a Western Digital Caviar Blue 500 Gb hardrive, A GeForce 550ti video card, an internal optical drive + burner, and an additional 160 gb hardrive.
