First system you bought with your own money

My first PC, years ago (cca '97-'98) and there's no way I could remember the specs (it was a Pentium 2 if I remember correctly) as my father chose it since family PC's were a relatively new thing in Croatia and kids knowing stuff about computers wasn't at all usual xD
I saved up all the money I ever got from relatives, for birthdays and all other occasions when people give children money. I was soooo proud of myself :D

I saved up my college allowance to buy my own PC

Specs:
Pentium 4 HT 2.8Ghz
80GB IDE HDD
3GB DDR-400
nVidia GeForce 6200 LE 256mb-64bit
15.6" Widescreen Monitor

but I also bought nDS, PSP, Blackberry Bold 9000, a bunch of accessories for my portable devices on the same month by selling all my junk stuffed in my house that I no longer use.

First thing that i bought with my own money and it's worth mentioning was a 2005 VW Polo.

Never bought a "system" or a game console. I'm more into laptops which i usually get as presents xD (not yearly O.O )

First system bought by my parents was a 386 with a green tinted monitor. Not that MS DOS needed pretty colors...

First PC I had was of course payed on my own

PSone was given to me by parents
Playstation 2 i brought pretty cheap of a mate basically a gift
Laptop I brought for tertiary education, umm an ASUS with Windows Vista, 1.86 Dual core intel, 1GBram

E7200 Core Duo, 4x1024 DDR2, 9800GT, WD 320GB.

1992 - I sold my bicycle and same day got ZX Spectrum Sinclair 48K with tape recorder as HDD :)

First console from me for me: NES.
First computer from me for me: MBP mid 2012, which i still use xD Upgraded RAM to 8Gigs DDR3 and got Win7 SP1 through bootcamp.

Not the greatest rig, but i am saving up for a next-gen console.

Edit: Not really 'console' i am waiting for SteamMachines to come out.... COME OUT ALREADY.

First family owned was a C64.

Bought a Genesis, with my own money, shortly after it's release. Later sold for a SNES.

First built a PC in 2001. Not sure the specs but I was pretty proud. :)

First home computer my parents got me was a Sinclair ZX80.

First I bought myself, I'm not sure. I was certainly old enough when I got my Amiga 500, but I think my parents did pay for it. What I know I bought with my own money was my first PC, quite a few years later. It was a 486 DX2-666 with 540MB hard drive and 16MB of RAM. The RAM alone cost me $700 (4MB was standard at the time, but OS/2 worked much more comfortably with 16MB).

My first console was the Wii (which I was gifted), if you discount the Nokia N-Gage.

Play Station 3. I was kinda late for the party, because I bought it about a year before PS4 but I regret nothing :D

All my systems were with my own money and my first one was P3 800Mhz, 64MB ram, 20gb HDD and nvidia TNT2.

My first and only console was a Gamebot Pocket, which i still use from time to time :P

Brick game I guess was the first one. I helped with some work in a church and got some money :)

N-gage QD...

Parents: NES
Me: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/lenovo/z-series/z510/#tab-tech_specs

The very first i bought with the money i had made from the Christmas songs i was telling as a child was Game Boy Color with 3 cassettes (smurfs, lucky look and Super Mario Bros Deluxe Edition).

While on the other hand, the very first game machine my parents bought me was Playstation but the important thing is that it was the very first Playstation machine that arrived in my country (a month earlier than the others :D )

Before these, i was simply sitting on the PC of my dad (70s gamer)

The first system I bought entirely with my own money was a used computer, a P2 300mhz with I think 64mb ram. I did a lot of rounds as a paper boy to get that...

First system that my parents got (I don't remember if they bought it or got it as a gift, I was so young at the time that I should not have started getting permanent memories): An Atari 2600 with a handful of games (the NES had been out for quite some time, so it can't have been expensive if they actually payed for it). First system that I could call my own was an NES (my young self had saved my weekly allowance for months to get that, and my parent payed for the rest, considering I was still years from entering elementary school, I'm a bit surprised that I had the patience to save my allowance.
And first family PC was back in 1997, and it was a P1 166mhz with 16mb ram (later upgraded to 32).

First system from my parents: Commodore 64
First system with my money: Commodore Amiga 500
First pc compatible (with my money): Pentium 120 Mhz with crappy S3 Trio64 Video card

1. First system bought with my own money: Nintendo 3DS XL (if handhelds do count) / Playstation 3. Worked hard to play 'em hard :) Got PS3 because of The Last Of Us and the BD drive for movies :)
2. First system bought by parents - NES. Good old memories.
3. Bought my current ~2013 PC build with my own money. AMD FX-4350, Inno3d GTX 660, 8Gb RAM, 1TB HDD, 120GB SSD.

First from parents: C64 w 5 1/4 floppy and printer
First with my own money: 486 DX2 66MHz with 120MB HDD, 16MB RAM, 15" monitor, and a few months later a Soundblaster+2xSpeed CD-ROM combo.

Hmm, the first computer I bought was a commodore PET

View attached image.

Cyrix MediaGX processor (competitor to Intel and AMD, long gone now) at 180 MHz. Windows 95, graphics were handled by the CPU and used System RAM. The thing had 16 MB of memory, but only could use 14 MB after video took a couple. The thing was terrible, but it was mine.

Few years ago i bought Commodore 64. I didn't launch it since i still miss few things, but i have my childhood locked in closet :)

The first I was ever given was a turquoise Game Boy Color with Pokemon Yellow.
Then I bought a fairly poweful pc on the cheap (less than 600€), I can't remember the specifics, but I believe it was i7 with a recent nvidia card, 1TB memory and 4 or 8 RAM.

Now I use a cheap ass laptop ;_;
