Oldest part in your main rig?

[duc]

I'm currently using a Creative Savage4 PCI 'graphics card' in my shuttle SP35p2, awaiting newer card to arrive.

Video card is the oldest in mine. Aiming to replace it soon (ish!).

My HX620 been great for the last 3? years.

Best peace of hardware I ever bought, I think.

If I claim my parents "main PC", the case for it is about 13 years old, but it was mine long ago.

Personally, I think the oldest components Im using are my keyboard at about 14 years old, a 1st generation Microsoft Natural Keyboard, and my 17" TFT, which is about 5 1/2 years old, but has now been relegated to 2nd display next to my new HP ZR24w.

My Q6600 by a few weeks, I bought the processor cos I seen it for less than £140 on a special offer back in 2007 and then bought a motherboard and everything when my birthday came round.

Well, it's gonna be from my Cavalier-X rig, and it has to be the CM Cavalier windowed case which I got in 2005.

The full thing lol, 2 and a half years old now, not bad for a laptop me thinks.

My speakers are probably the oldest part..videologic something or other..still working perfectly too..inside the rig the oldest is my x-fi extreme music card.

120gb 7200rpm 2mb cache hard drive, pulled from a server in 2002/3? (no idea how long it had been in there, but the raid controller had died so they got rid of the hard drives as well).

SB audigy2 zs is probably the next oldest.

I have an 74GB Raptor that my Dad gave me when I built my PC. That was in 2007 so he must of bought it in '06. 4 years old and still going strong!

[GoNz0]

My oldest part is my keyboard. It was included in an off the shelf system I bought from PC world about 10 years ago. (The week before the P3 500 launched) I also haved a CRT monitor (this is my only monitor on my main PC) which I got from work because it was going to be thrown out, no idea how old it is. For proper PC components it would have to be my HDDs. I have a 400GB SATA drive that I bought when I did my first home build PC, and a 74GB Raptor which I bought a few months later. I also currently have an 80GB IDE drive, I have no idea where it came from or how old it is though.

The IDE and the Raptop are about to be replaced by a 15k RM SAS drive.
