My first PC was:
286 16mhz
1 meg ram
OAK VGA with 256k
40 meg hard drive

This was like in 1991, so no cd rom :)
Oh, no sound card either, I stripped a wire off the Y cable and wrapper it around a PC Speaker jumper. Plugged it into my boom box, so I could hear .mod, mtm, etc., loud and clear (sorta clear).
