Seeing a few erronoius comments, and I am going to be anal and point it out, lol
My first Home Computer was a C64.
My first Personal Computer was a 386-sx16, 1mb ram, 3.5 floppy, no hdd
PC stands for Personal Compter and is accepted shorthand for IBM PC. It a marketing thing :)

First one I owned myself? A kickass FastMicro 286DX, with a Soundblaster and some sort of nifty onboard video setup (later upgraded to Voodoo, which never worked quite right). And the essential 2400-baud modem (I think it was 2400, because I remember having online ProDoor BBS friends who were still working at 300 - though mine might have been a 1200, I'm not really sure at this point).

A tiny black box of crap ... I think it was Dell?

As a kid, I had a generic 286 IBM-compatible (can't remember the clock speed) built by some computer shop. There was an 80 MB hard drive somewhere along the way skipping a 386 and transitioning to a 486. I remember making 3.5" floppy bootdisks with specific IRQ/DMA settings for sound and freeing up conventional memory just to play games. I'm no stranger to things like ISA slots, 1X CD-ROM drives, BBSs, newsgroups, playing TIE Fighter on a crap "joystick," or being blown away by the music in MechWarrior 2.
Damn, I feel downright ancient when I recall computer tech of yesteryear.

The one I made 3 years ago and the one I still have now. I will be getting a new GPU this month though. Oh, and added some RAM, so I guess it's a little different.

My first PC was:
Intel Celeron 300A, 32MB SDRAM, 3000MB HDD, TEAC 24x CD-Rom, generic 3.5" floppy, integrated Sis 6325 3D graphics + 3Dfx VooDoo 2 12MB 3D accelerator (which i bought some years later, played Half Life on the integrated card though with no problems :))

My first PC was an old and used 386 with 2 or 3 games. A little time after, somebody deletted all those files that can't be opened, Windows files (windows 3.11). Format was the only solution so bye games. Luckily my cousin had a PC with CD drive, I had some free and shareware games in a magazine's disc, lots of floppy disks...

Pentium 60Mhz (later upgrade to a 100Mhz micro) - Sound Blaster (multimedia kit) - 4Mb Ram (well here im not remember) - Video (ISA) later change for a PCI to play Duke Nuken 3D - Samsung 14" - MS Mouse 2.0 (a real good mouse, dont have scroll button in that age)
P/D: Also have many year ago a C64 (home computer) with Dataset + Disk Driver 5 1/4" (single density). And a x286 IBM PS1 (im not sure about this, when i open cant recognize his components.
P/D: Remember C64-128-Amiga and MAC are not PC (IBM Compatible).
