Soltek SL-75KAV was the first motherboard I've bought on my first salary! Was working great for 5 years or so before getting heavily outdated.

Same here! (Well, it wasn’t my first salary, but I bought it with my own money between high school and college, while everyone else was getting their parents to buy them their college PC.)

Athlon XP 1800+, 512MB RAM, pirated windows 2000, it was the first computer I ever built, and I learned Linux on it a few months later (RedHat 8, later Debian.)
