Those were some good specs back in the day... And the price 😯

Man, my first homebuild out of college was an absolute monster with 8MB of RAM so I could run NT at home. $640 just for the memory. I did cheap out on the CPU and only got the 75MHz Pentium, though we ran 90s at work. Wing Commander III was awesome on that thing.
- 96ish? I got a 120MHz Pentium with 8MB in like mid 96 for the equivalent of 2500USD and that was WITH a 15" CRT and 1.27GB HDD!
  
  Would have been circa '94. My build was definitely up in that range, possibly without the monitor. I'm also certain that my HD was measured in MB; might have been either a 250 or 330.
