My dad found his order form from our 3rd computer

Those were some good specs back in the day... And the price 😯
$5778 adjusted for inflation.
At last something is more accessible than 30 years ago 🤗
Video games, too. They're still in the $20-$60 range for the most part, same as they've been since the 1970s, which means their cost has dropped dramatically.

Wild that a 1k USD machine lasts like 6-10 years now.
I’m using one as a media center that’s a Phenom from 14 years ago lawl
My VR machine is eight years old but with a new GPU.
My main game machine is like four years old and plays basically everything 1440p/100FPS+. Cost bout 1.5k.
My first REAL game computer I built was over 2k back in the day (maybe 3k adjusted for inflation) and was slow as shit after two years. I love you, solid state drives. Athlon 64x2 4400+, SLI7900GT, 4GB DDR2, and an antec lanboy with the bondage kit. Built it for Crysis. No Raptors tho.
You're the real MVP.
I built a computer around 1998. OP's dad got reemed.
