My first attempt was using all my laptops.
List:
MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
MacBook Pro 2.4 Intel Core 2 Due
ASUS-laptop AMD E2 VISION 1800 1.7 GHz
(Also I did some mining using my Galaxy S3)
Let's just say I didn't become a millionaire. I gave up after a week with ~3mBTC and realized I earned a lot more from faucets.
(Those computers however mined me a few litecoins a few months later, yay!)
Topic: What was your 1st mining rig ? - page 3. (Read 3066 times)
Mine was my gaming laptop. 
Not really a rig, just wanted to try out mining. This was back then when mining BTC with GPUs was normal, nobody knew about no ASICs and Litecoin was mined by CPUs. Good times...

My home desktop PC with single ATI 5770, march (or april) 2011. Done some quick testing and after a week I've started to build my first dedicated mining rig.
I never had a mining rig, although I have tried to mine Bitcoins using Bitminter. I have also used CPU mining, to mine Litecoins.
Try CPU mining primecoins it was desgined for that.

4x R9 290, but would actually prefer 2x R9 295x2 due to the cooling issues..
apart from the specs and cooling solution , that cards are sexy too
