Your First Windows (Win 10) PC ...
I was cleaning up my hard drives and came across some old PC builds. This was my first ever Windows PC. It was a custom build by a company called Kustom PCs based in Scotland.
Although I have some photos, I never documented the specific components, so I have no clue what's in this Cooler Master WaveMaster case. But I do know it's 2005, the CPU is Intel and the graphics card nVidia / EVGA
Those games were my entire collection at the time, and I have to say, looking back, not a bad set of choices! I do miss that era of gaming (and the prices! £34.99 for a AAA game, how times have changed!)
What was your first Windows PC?
That Kustom PCs build is a real piece of history. If you ever want to try and identify the components, those EVGA graphics cards from that era usually had a model number sticker on the back of the card (like 256-P2-N376-AX for a 7800 GT).

Better trying something new like Windows 11, lol
That era was indeed special—games like Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Far Cry, World of Warcraft, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion were iconic. And yes, the prices—£34.99 for a AAA title—brings back memories of a different gaming economy.
