[HEXUS]

My cooler - a Thermalright Ultra Extreme which has been serving in my PC for the best part of a decade now (after the death of my old S775 system earlier this year I managed to find an LGA115x adaptor).

head phones, wireless digital stereo sennheiser about 5 years old now

My monitor, 10 years old, woefully out of date. Still need to buy a replacement but annoyingly my undecided future GPU choices plays a role in what its replacement will be.

Coolermaster case about 4 or 5yrs old everything else gets replaced every couple of years.

Microsoft Wheelmouse Optical and Natural Keyboard Pro.

[Namor]

Microsoft sidewinder forcefeedback2 joystick.
I sometimes replace the micro-switches that jam or give up (available from Maplins)but I use it most days still.

[iwanpompier]

main monitor 11 years

[Faiakes]

Power supply of course...

[jimborae]

PSU or Monitor

Keyboard. 7 years old next month, when it's actually being culled. But shhh, because it doesn't know yet.

I have a Logitech MX518, which I bought 9-10 years ago. I did retire it from my main computer and it serves as the mouse for my server. Aside from the pads wearing down, it still works great. Most of my computer equipment tends to be old....my newest edition is the Corsair M65 mouse, everything else is at least 3-4 years old. Can't afford to stay up to date

my dell 2407wfp is 9 years old. so is my logitech g9 mouse amd my gen 2 g15 keyboard must be around that age too. all work fine. would enjoy my dell a bit more if it was led lit as it outputs so much heat. i have got upgraded keyboard and mouse already but not going to use them until i upgrade my pc (which is housed in a coolermaster stacker stc-t01, heres an hexus review..from 2004 ! http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/chassis/890-cooler-master-stacker-stc-t01/ )

oldest pc part right there. case being nearly 13 years old. needs upgrade i think.

Some old hard drives in my caddies and I'm guessing the pata hard drive in my synology ds106j...

In my main pc it would either be the 1.5TB Seagate HD used for storage or the 120GB Crucial M4 which I use for a scratch disk. The rest is all fairly new.

I think one of the backup hdd's in my PC is one I used to use as my main from 2006, I have had my monitor since around 2007/08 also but the rest is shiny new .

A parallel port header pulled from my first Windows PC of '95 vintage, currently used to provide a parallel port off an Asrock Z77M, which is used to connect an HD44780 LCD display.
