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 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.
