My first computer was a Aptiva 2144-?. A Pentium 133mhz that my mom bought me from radio shack and it blew my socks off when i was 13 years old in 1995. It came bundled with a bunch of software that gave me an amazing experience right out of the box. It was also the first computer i bought a video card for to run 3D games. I've spent a while now looking for one patiently, and finally a gem popped up. Got it from a really cool retired gentleman that went out of his way to spend time packing it and shipping it from SC to AZ. From what i understood he used it for work and replaced computers every couple years. He used this for 2 years and then removed the hard drive and put it back in its original shipping bag. Stored it along with its original keyboard, mouse and my favorite part the original G40 monitor. I was also able to find my original video card (ATI ALL IN WONDER 2mb pci) a couple years ago and never thought id be able to marry the two again...
