First one I bought for myself was a Pentium 90 (mhz) with a Sounblaster 16. No GPUs yet, VGA.

First one I got was the old PC from my parents when I went to university. It was the first one my dad bought, an early 8086, CGA, with 2x 10MB HDDs and dual floppy disc drives.

The little monitor could only display green and bright green so it had jumpers on the connector to change which of the 4 CGA 'colors' to combine. For games you had to choose how to map 4 colors onto black, green, bright green by physically changing the jumpers.
