Do you remember it in all its cream colored goodness?

mine was:
HP 486 dx66
4meg ram (2 were on the board)
110 meg hard drive. no way i could ever fill that up
2400baud modem
14" color monitor
running windows 3.1

I believe i spent about $1400 on it at the time and it was 'fast'...for about 6 months

Don't know the exact model but it was pretty nice at the time. Windows 95 was brand new so we probably got it in 1994.

HP (don't remember the model)
Intel Pentium 1 @80MHz I think (no more than 100MHz)
1GB hard drive
CDROM

Packard Bell Legend 406CD

Basically this thing here:


It had a 75MHz Pentium, 4MB of RAM, and an 850MB hard drive running Windows 95. Purchased at Best Buy in 1995. I'd been exposed to computers earlier but they didn't interest me until I started high school.
