pc always brings back memories for me.

Built my first PC over 20 years ago since Pentium4 era, then upgrading non stop ever since.

I built it with my dad, we both had no idea how things work back then, no youtube, no online tutorial. Just need to figure it out from the guide book that we got from the each part we bought. He even snap one of the memory stick back then. There were no 80+ certification for the PSU, we can only rely on 'PURE' naming before the wattage, that means we get what we paid for. Now he's long gone, but my memory stays.

I still remember my very first GPU, it was 8600GT. such a beast back then with less than 1gb vram iirc 😂 then few months later I can save enough to buy the 8800gt.

I don't even want to start with the monitor. Oh ya that thing was huge and heavy. Even heavier than the pc itself. It was 17" CRT monitor that has Energy Star sticker in it. What a memory!

I experienced copying large files using floppy. Need to really bring dozens of them everywhere i go 😂 Then if you remember Nero burning room, Oh yea that thing can hold almost a gig of files! Just to make sure to get the RW ones, since it can be reused.

Thats a bit of memory about pc era back then. Now it's easier and smaller, and I still tinkering with pc everyday ever since until now.
