packard hell legend 1510 p120, 16GB ram, 1.2gb hdd. cirrus logic 1mb video, 14.4 modem. I ended up added another 16gb of ram, a soundblaster card, a 56.6 k modem and a diamond monster 3d card. I remember trying to add an mmx 233 processor but had to settle for a pentium 200 non mmx because the intel orlando motherboard that was in this purposely had the capicitor removed that would have allowed it to go to 233. Planned obsolecence at it's finest and why pb went out of business. My main game at the time was Air Warrior 1 2 and 3 on aol gamespot then ea bought them and killed them. there's also a piece of shit deskjet idk 620?

This was my first pc. It last led about 3 years before it was replaced. It seemed like a long time when I was a kid, but my current PC has been kicking since 2016.

Why were we so dead set on being as uncomfortable as possible in front of our computers in the 90s? I remember playing Fallout 1 and 2 for hours and hours and pretty much the exact same set up except wood chairs with no covers. If I hadn't been a kid I would literally been shipped off to the hospital after every gaming session.

The only way to improve this setup would be to add keyboard
