Sheesh, My first computer was a Amstrad/Schneider CPC664, with a lightning fast 3" (sic!) disk drive that stored up to 720kB. That was back when a IBM PC (no clones at that time) was at about 10000$ range (with no HD!).
I had a 512KB RAM extension (battery buffered) for my CPC and a nice monochrome (green) monitor. I never bought a HD though, didn't see a need for that. All in all, my CPC cost me about 6000$ with its peripherals.
My first PC was a 286 with 1MB RAM and 20MB HD and EGA graphics. That one did cost about 2500$ including the monitor.
Next came a home built 386 (AMD) with 16MB RAM and a 320MB HD (at that time, that was huge). It was later upgraded to a 486/133MHz with 64MB and an additional 640MB disc.
That computer ran my BBS (using FrontDoor/RemoteAccessBBS) for years, namely from 1992 (IIRC) to 1997(again,IIRC), when I upgraded to a Pentium 200MMX and Linux.

EDIT: Corrected the unit for the CPC RAM expansion from MB to KB
