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.

Best board for me would have to be:

ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe

 

[FarFarAway]

1) 3DFX Voodoo 2. Agreed with that

2) Nvidia G80 - perhaps because I was there...but also because it really was a HUGE jump.

3) USB. Got to agree here

4) Samsung's S-IPS panels. Awesome. I almost said Sony's monster Trinitron CRT's...but I prefer my ickle Dell

5) AMD64 (esp skt 939). 64 bit computing, superb performance and some fun memories!

 

[Brooksie]

1) Voodo yep agree with all of you, I remember when my dad got a voodo so we could play Half Life, ahh memories

2) Going from a ATI X1300 to a 8800GTS G92 I love that card, so sexy!

3) Sitecom WL-308. Not really computer hardware but it is a very nice router, shame mine is currently in RMA after 7 months of use lol.

4) Watercooling. Must get my loop back up (Just need some tubing)

5) Asus P5K Prem / P5K-e
