1) the ZX80 - the first truly Home PC

2) The Rage 3D god doom look good with that

3) Intel 486 DX 4 100 CPU (My fist modern day Interchangeable PC.)

4) The Nivdia 8800 (never has a GPU spawned so many versions)

5) The Dremel . never has a single peace of hard ware spawned some of the best Modded (and worst) pcs out there .... (not a computer part as such but hell it has to be in here)

GREAT thread.

1) 3DFX Voodoo 2. No arguments from me. I could put the Voodoo, but the Voodoo 2 rocked my socks.

2) SoundBlaster AWE 64. Beeps? What beeps? I can do MUSIC!

3) USB. It just is. I remember gameports, serial ports and parallel ports. USB = win.

4) ECCI 6000. As a former Grand Prix Legends Online World Champion (yes I am) this is the single most desirable piece of hardware in existence. One day my pretty you shall be mine....

Shinnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyy

5) Pentium III. The first processor to hit 1GHz has to be here. 1GHz seemed ridiculous. Now my GPU can hit it.

Hmmm I guess you can't portray sarcasm in type very easily....

That said, I would have thought you could have just guessed sarcasm by the sheer absurdity of the post.

Oh yeah and *slaps Jimbob back*!!!!!!!

Wouldn't touch that crap with yours mate.

Bit like a chrome strip, looks good but bloody useless!

Might as well add thermal take to your list as the worst maker of water cooling gear EVER ....
