I upgraded the RAM and CD-drive on a gateway with a 333Mhz celeron at age 8 or 9. I did various upgrades ever since then. It wasn't until about 13 when I did my first full build. I've built dozens and dozens of comps since then but these are my own.
age 13
ASUS A7N8X
Athlon XP 2800+
1GB DDR
FX5200

then

Age 15:
Abit An8
Athlon 64 3200+
1GB DDR
X800 pro

The one in my sig is my newest one, i built it last year and have been upgrading it in small chunks.

My next build will mot likely either be late i7 or whatever is the successor to the i7. I'm going to build it next year.

Only problems i have with asus is their vast amount of bios updates for old boards.

Whoops, did i say vast? Oops... EG- a AMD 770 based board only supporting original Phenom, while i know someone with a gigabyte 680g board, that is microatx and cost $59.99 about 2 years ago, that could drop in a Phenom II 955 right now... XD
 
I should be building one when i'm 17 :) Once I get a job i'll be building a new computer every 2-3 years for a hobby! =]
 
Lol, the compaq I have now I totally took the thing apart and put it together in under 45 min while watching family guy :)
 
I got my first computer when I was 11. It was an old Tandy PC 1000 :P However, I didn't do THAT much with hardware until a year or two later. The middle school I was at got a donation of old PCs. Since all the computers they had were macs, I was able to get a few from them. So I built up my first 486 around that time :)
