gunak87 Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 My parents paid for my first computer because it was the family PC. However, I paid for all of my custom-built PCs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

suchuwato Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 My parents gave me a few (not new ) prebuilts until I was about 13, then I built my own (with my dad's help at first...). I bought my own components when I was about 15 I suppose. Â Edit: lol... can't remember my own age Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fire_storm Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 My parents bought me my first computer because I was too young to have a job and they were tired of me being on theirs and changing it all around all the time lol. Â Same with me. I was too young at the time to have a job. Know I pretty much pay for all my computers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeble Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 I remember when I was really young and it was time to buy a new computer, I'd open up an HP/Dell/Gateway/whatever catalog and pick out the biggest numbers and most expensive prices. Then my dad would buy a computer from his friend (system builder) and we'd have a new PC. Now that I think about it, I have no idea if anything I picked out ever actually made it into the computer. Â Those computers weren't really mine, but I spent way more time on them than anyone else. The first computer that was actually mine happened to be an unused computer from my dad's business. So, parents/family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMeeD Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 The first computer that was unofficially mine was paid for by my parents, but the first one I actually built I got in return for watching my brothers for the summer among a few other things.
