Mine was an IBM PS/2 Model 30....way back in 92...my father had it since 88 and when he bought a brand new 486sx I got the old IBM.

it ran Windows 3.11 and DOS 6.22 and could run Doom v1.6 like a charm.

I don't know specifically, but it was an ancient IBM that I got at a garage sale for $100 (talked 'em down from $120 😛). All I remember about it was that it had 2 3 1/2" floppies, a PSU that had a flip switch on it, and a 5 1/4" hard drive. My next computer I remember a little better, it was a 386 (33mhz maybe?) with 4mb RAM and either a 110mb or 210mb hard drive. Ahh, those were the days 🙂
 
"PC"
486-33
4MB RAM
120MB HD
Diamond SpeedStar VGA card
2400 modem
14" CTX VGA monitor

First computer
Atari 520 ST

 
The first that was "mine" was an IBM Aptiva 2170-245 E Series PC. 450MHz K6-2, 64MB of RAM, 8GB hard drive, Windows 98. Fall of '99
 
January 1978.

Received 3 Radio Shack Model I computers.

4 K of memory, no floppy, no HDD. Cassette recorder was used to load what few programs were available.

How exciting.
 
some kind of compudyne pos that ran windows 3.1 and had 3 hard drives with a combined storage of around 1GB. I used that from about 1993 or 1994 until my dad bought a Dell with Windows 98 (later upgraded to SE) and a Pentium 2 (250 or 350), 96MB RAM (upgraded later to 324), 13 gb hdd, and an ATI Rage Pro with 8mb of V-Ram.

Though, in my elementary school, there were Apple 2Es in the classroom until I was in 4th grade (1997/1998).
 
got a Tandy 1000 back in 1990 or something.

after that i got a 386 SX 25MHz with 4 MB of RAM and an 80MB hard drive.

those were good times.
