I built my first computer from some spare parts my dad had. It was a 486dx2/50 with maybe a 20MB hard drive, 4MB of memory (I think, might have been 1MB), 3.5" floppy drive, and a monochrome monitor. Ran 4DOS but I did install Slackware Linux on it from like 27 floppies. I mostly wrote papers for school on it and played with C a bit.

We had other computers (C128, 286, 386) before but that was the first one that was my own.
