My first build was my work PC back in Jan ‘05.
It’s been upgraded a few times since, but it’s still going strong.
Funnily enough, when I built it, it turned out to be a decent gaming pc back in the day.
This plog isn’t about my work PC, but here are a few pics of it as it was back then when I built it.
Cable tidying was a low priority for me back then.
All I cared about was that it would actually work.
And it did.
So, when the time came for me to build a decent home PC for me to game on I was confident I wouldn’t mess it up.
That time came in Nov ‘05.
The original spec, as far as I can remember is as follows:
Akasa Eclipse 62 Case c/w 2 No 120mm SilenX fans
Akasa All-In-One control panel
Seasonic 500watt PSU
Asus A8N-E mobo
Athlon 64 3000+ Venice core
Arctic cooling Silencer 64 Ultra TC cooler
4 x 512MB Crucial Ballistix PC3200 memory
OEM 7800GT 256MB GFX C/w Arctic Cooling Silencer 5 Cooler
An Asus wireless card poached off my brother
Samsung 250gig SATAII HDD
NEC DVDRW
Black FDD
Samsung 19″ 4:3 monitor
Saitek Eclipse K/B
Logitech MX510 Mouse plus S&S Steelpad mouse mat
Logitech 2.1 speakers
Here’s a few piccies of my baby when it was first born.
Cable tidying was still more of a novelty, but I was improving and it all worked great.
I started playing CS:S too around this time.
Bought a headset, Plantronics USB one which was very nice, and joined a clan, GB-UK, where I’ve been ever since.
Of course, it wasn’t too long before I wanted to upgrade my system.
And I’ll fill you in more on that in the next post.
