My first PC was a bare board and 2000+ parts.

Used for many years even after faster systems came out. Was bullet
proof.

Some of the programs (like designing atomic bombs G) were started
Friday afternoon and ran until finished Monday morning.

I must admit that I didn't jump on the PC's immediately but only because I
already had a mini-computer at home. I was consulting and developing on
Datapoints at the time and had a real nice unit at home. I was real happy when
I bought my first PC and only paid a little of $5k for it. The Datapoint had
cost me over $30k used. It was worth it though, made a lot of money off that
machine.
