PC games only for me. :) Started with a P1-120 (16 MB, 1 GB, S3, 95) in '96 which was decent but eventually succumbed to a lack of memory to run Win98 and the fact that I'd been introduced to Diablo 2 which it couldn't run.
Then came a P3-933 (128 MB, 20 GB, TNT2, ME) in '01 which ran Diablo 2 and uh... that was about it. Again too little memory and couldn't run Warcraft 3 properly or Windows XP at all. Even Diablo 2 filled up the memory and started thrashing after about 20 minutes, making it unplayable online. It did run PSX/N64 emulators and some older PC titles so I had a decent library of vintage games. Because it couldn't run much of anything else, I put an insane amount of time into a mod for Diablo 2 - pretty much half of my total free time from 2003-today.

In '07 I got smarter and compiled a C2D (4 GB, 150 GB+500 GB, 8800 GTS, Vista) which so far runs everything I threw at it except possibly meaningless games like Crysis. Oh well. Exit Diablo 2, enter the galaxy editor. :)
