I think it's called ShenEn F-ll 2 I got at NZ Champ last year (2010) it's very loose you can twist corner clockwise or anticlockwise without popping out I piece it also pops because of the looseness

My first speedcube was an Alpha V. It is still my main cube but I'm planning to get something new since it pops at almost every solve. I had a Rubik's before and i managed to get a 20.xx single record with it. But with the A5 I can get sub-20 =)

Ghost Hand II. It's too fast for me now that I modded it and lubed with lubix. It over shoots for me, but I am pretty bad. I average sub 30.

Big green is sub 30? So is Thom and Feliks?

On topic: A-1 it turned bad after i crazy overlubed it with jigaloo

My first order online I bought a type A1 and C4U, I never used the A1. The C4U was used for almost a year I STILL love the feel of it the sturdy/unpoppyness.

Green Limited Edition Type D i used to love it

 

[Vinny]

White Ghost hand II.

Although I can't even call it white. The Ghost Hand is like a gross creamy color, not white.

Sometimes i think my rubiks is better than my C4U DTY at times since the C4U locks like hell

 

[uberCuber]

don't care what the OP says, that thing was and is a speedcube.

Ghost Hand II.
Not DIY but after getting familiar with it I did disassemble, inspect and tension it to my liking.

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

Type-C White Glow in the Dark
I Still use this, saving up for a better cube (Probably a guhong)

My first speedcube was a white Rubik's DIY.
Keep in mind that back in 2004/05 Type-A and other brands where not really available, and Rubik's brand was the easiest to get.
But after that another Rubik's this time a black, and then a Type A.
Remember spedcubes has been worked on and designs have become better, bur for us old cubers, Rubik's where also considered speedcubes!

For learning to speedsolve my first cube was an unknown tiled (pillowed tiles, one color was pink) cheap cube that I have never been able to find again. I threw it out when I lost 2 of the tiles, but I remember it as turning fairly well.
Then I got a chrome finish metal cube (real metal) because I couldn't find anything else in stores. The cube is insanely heavy and does poor corner cutting, but you can use WD40 in it color was hard to distinguis because they were ingraved as a thin lined square and rubed of with use.
Then I eventually ordered an original 25th ani. rubiks cube.

Type A-3. I'm not sure what all this "A-3 F" is about, but when I bought it, it was called Type A3.

And yeah, I agree with NeedReality. I'm pretty sure Yu Nakajima used a Rubik's DIY back in the old days and got very good times with it.
