    Re: Oldest part in your main rig?

    1994 Dec Prioris case.
    Mid 90's adaptec UW scsi board.
    Late 90's Plextor CD reader and Writer.
    Old[might be 80's] Sony half height CD drive, came out of a really ancient DEC
    workstation, it looked old in 1994 when I got it!
    Assortment of SCSI drives, it has a hot swap bay, they range from 100mb upto 37GB
    So it's fairly old.

    The board, cpu isn't so old.
    2005 Opteron 146, msi board, ddr ram, 300gb WD sata HDD.

    Had the case quite a long time, since pentium II's came out.
    It's had a 233 PII, 600 Athlon, 2000XP, and the Opteron.

    Almost forgot the keyboard is a pre 1994 IBM , nice n slim with a lovely touch.

    Re: Oldest part in your main rig?

    gotta be my speakers too;

    A pair of Goodman active 45's

    I've had them for so long it hurts when I try to figure out exactly how long

    they are actually top of my list of things to replace, just can't figure out if I want new active speakers, stereo amp and floor standing speakers, or AV receiver and 5.1 speaker package
    been leaning towards a little T-Class amp and re-using some old eltax bookshelves I have laying around.

    Everything is less than 3 months old, with the RAM being the oldest at about 4 months

    It's 4.98*

    Re: Oldest part in your main rig?

    It's probably the Pioneer DVD-RW drive. I think I had it in an external firewire case for ages before I put my desktop together. I might be wrong though, I may have ponnied up for a new one when I built the PC. Other than that it would be the Dell 2407 monitor. Had that on my laptop for a couple of years initially.

    Never thought about speakers.
    mine is connected to a quad amp and a pair of Tannoy
    Lancaster speakers, so 60's speakers!

    My SD37P2 SFF barebone was bought in late 2006,the optical drive was also bought around the same time as were one of the hard drives. My 20" monitor was also made in 2006 and I also have a 15" monitor I also use which was bought in 2005.

    Re: Oldest part in your main rig?

    Think mine has to be one of my 500gb samsung f1's. Think its about 2 years old. Otherwise my X-Fi titanium which is a year and half old!

    I tend to replace just about everything when I build a new pc!

    Re: Oldest part in your main rig?

    I think my keyboard is well over a decade old... apart from that I have an e-mu 1820m sound card which is from 2004, PCI-X and working fine under Windows 7.

    Re: Oldest part in your main rig?

    That would be my Gateway keyboard, from the days when a USB keyboard was a novelty.

    I spilt ink over it in a CD labelling accident, so I looks a little more cow like now as well

    It would be an Asus/Pioneer DVD-RW, closely followed by my XiFi Xtreme Music.
