Owned a 8088 CPU/MB but never bothered to put it together. First I built was a 380 SX, added 14.4 modem, floppy drives, 4mb of RAM I think. That latest I built from scratch was an Athlon XP 2000+ about 2 years ago. Added DVD+-RW and 128MB video. I kind of miss the old DOS days where you need to manually set up CD ROM drivers. Games need to manually tuned for sound card settings. So, I guess I'm a little old-school but not hard-core, hobby-ist, shall I say?
