My first computer was a 16Mhz 386SX. It came with 1 meg of RAM and a 40MB hard drive.
I eventually upgraded it to 4 megs or ram, which was its limit and a 425 MB hard drive. I even had a 1x CD-ROM and Soundcard added. It ran DOS 6.2 and Windows 3.1.
It's in the attic in a box. It still works but I have little use for it. It's a relic from the old days Someday when I'm bored I'm going to try to put windows 95 on it.

Wow...thats scary. Zombie computer in the attic. Maybe you should do an experiment a bit more hardcore than putting windows 95...how about something like this (some of you may remember this):
