My gaming computer about five years ago:

Yeah, you jelly? :frogc00l:
My old rig, good times.
AMD Athlon x2 4800+ (socket 939)
2GB DDR 400mhz (4 x 512mb)
Western Digital 160Gb HDD
Unknown PSU
ATI Radeon x1950pro (upgraded from a Radeon x1600pro which was upgraded from a 9550pro)
I just noticed that I guess ATi went from 'pro' everything to putting 'HD' on everything.
Intel Celeron single core at 2.8GHz
V9999GT (almost identical to the 6800GT)
2GB DDR RAM
A 550W Zitech PSU.
It ran Half-life 2 pretty decent at my 1024x768 resolution.
My old computer. I got that PSU a month before I got my computer I have now.

Spec:
Intel P4 @ 2.8Ghz
1.5Gb DDR ram
Abit Mobo
ATI 9600 pro
40Gb HDD
Was good enough to run BF2 back then. All I ever played.
In 2005 I built my first gaming PC, it was bleeding edge at the time.
AMD 4800+ X2 Socket 939
2GB Corsair XMS DDR
320GB Western Digital HDD
SLI MSI 7800GTX's at 256mb a pop.
Thermaltake Tsnuami Case
Viewsonic VX926 19" Gaming LCD at 3ms response time
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard
G15v1
Logitech G7 Mouse
That damned processor was $1100.
Sold it last year for $260 somehow, people are insane.
My gaming machine in 2005:
MSI K8N-Neo4 Platinum
Athlon 64 3700+ 939
250 GB Western Digital SATAII Drive
2 GB Crucial Ballistix DDR-400 (horrible memory, I've had to RMA it 3 or 4 times, with this last time they didn't have it in stock anymore so I had to downgrade to crappier RAM)
Antec Desktop Server Case
Samsung 997DF 19" CRT
ATI x800 (later GF6800GT)
I bought it in December of 2005, before that I had this:
MSI KT4AV (later MSI KT880 Delta)
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (later AMD Athlon XP 3200+)
1 GB APACER DDR-333 (later 1.5 GB DDR-400)
120 GB Seagate ATA-133
Radeon 9800 Pro AGP
I still have the original boxes and parts from my old builds and they're still in really good condition.
My first rig was this.
AMD Athlon X2 3800+ S939
MSI K8N NEO 4
2x512GB DDR400
Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb (with R360 core to XT mod)
80GB HD
You know, all these computers make great servers. If you still have any of them you can rent out minecraft servers to people for money or something.

Assuming you have the upload bandwidth to do so.
People that just got GTX 580s are now sad, as they are seeing into the bleak future in 5 years, where NVIDIA GTX 995s and AMD Radeon HD9990s are putting these current-gen awesome cards to rest.

Even though it looks ricer, I actually like the idea of a fully transparent case.
I've just found most of my old graphics cards

from bottom right to top left
winfast ATI radeon 9250
club3d Nvidia geforce 2MX
ASUS ati radeon x1650 pro 256MB
overclocked Nvidia geforce 6200 GPU 450 mem 600
Nvidia geforce 6800
saphire ATI radeon x1650 pro 512MB
saphire ATI radeon 9550 (zalman was written on there for a joke about 3 years ago)
Ha fuck you guys I still got a single core AMD Athlon 3200+
oh god i hate my computer.
Pentium D OC'd @ 2.2GHz
ATI Radeon X600 Pro (Upgraded to a 9500GT)
512MB of RAM
Windows XP
It died last year. I miss it.
Even older:
Pentium 4 @ 1.8GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 5500MX
256MB of RAM
Windows XP
It died too.

How did they "die" exactly?
Late 2003 rig
Celeron D 2.66ghz
512mb ram
Intel integrated graphics with dx6 support :suicide:
I later took out the 250watt and replaced it with a 450 and installed a Radeon 9250, and even later more an HD2400.
All that remains of that computer is the 80gb ide hard drive that it had, I use it as backup drive in my current rig.

I don't really get it how people don't have 100mbit/s in 2010, we got internet here in 2005, it's a small village 25km from any shops, and there's about 200 inhabitants.
I can only wish my early 2005 gaming rig still existed. It had two 80gb harddrives, an ATI radeon 9600 that came with a promotional copy of half-life 2 (That I still have registered in my steam account to this day), a 2.4ghz pentium IV and 512mb of ram (Hnnnng)
It could max half-life 2 at 1024x768 and run BF2 and BF2142 and even Civilization IV mostly fine back then
It's mostly scrap metal now, I only have one of it's hard-drives lying around on my old desk :smith:
wow, that videos PC had 2 GB of RAM while now it's at 128GB and up, holy hell...
Back in 06 I had an old Dell Optiplex that had a Pentium 2 at 400mhz with 256mb RAM and an Ati Rage 128.
Fuck yes.

128GB? Maybe in insanely high-end servers and workstations but not in a gaming rig.
[QUOTE=garychencool;27438451]wow, that videos PC had 2 GB of RAM while now it's at 128GB and up, holy hell...[/QUOTE]
don't know about you but I, and most other people here, have 4 GB
Some computer from either 1998-2000 period:
Pentium 4 2.53Ghz
512mb DDR PC2700
Nvidia 440 mx 64mb AGP 8x
80gb IDE
Made by Packard Bell imedia
Apparently my Ma bought it for 1k+ when it was released, held up well for a long time (2007 it was replaced by a up to date rig) Handled source games but never could play orange box engine games, which was the main reason I upgraded. It got turned into a server then was sold, but I kept the 440 just as a thing to remember.
