The History

How did you get into this realm of counter-strike? What type of computer did you have back in the day when you first started gaming?

At first I only went to this LAN on Fridays with my brother and his friend. At first I thought it was dumb. Afterwards I began to play it a little bit and basically fell in love with it. Then came time I needed a computer. I bought it for a few hundred bucks off this guy. It was a Dell, Intel Pentium4 1.6GHz, NVIDIA GeForce 2, MX400, 64MB RAM. I had a solid 40-50 FPS.
