What is the oldest piece of continually running hardware you currently use with your rig?

[SK-1]

So I was just jamming (loud) to some tunes with my new audio card and realized how old my speaker system is !!! I'm just amazed at how well my Logitech Z680 5.1 system has held up. She's going on 15 years of daily use and I abuse them. For real! But even so, still clean audio and no distortion! Plus, with all the advancements in other areas of the audio field, they actually sound better than the day I purchased them. Thank you Logitech! You certainly gave me reason to buy your stuff!
So what old hardware do you guys have that is still in your daily driver? Am I the anomaly here?

Dang! you have a lot of new stuff!

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Logitech Z5500's and K740 illuminated keyboard. Though they might not be hooked up to my own system anymore. Both are in daily service with my dad. The Z5500's came first. then the K740 about a year after i think.

MX 518...Needs to be a some sort of Hardware Hall of Fame.

A 640GB Western Digjtal Caviar Black HDD?

The oldest thing that I still have around and use is my keyboard, an HP keyboard from probably 1997 (it came with a Vectra VE5 system).

The date is sort of a guess based on me remembering that I did a BIOS update for that system and the copyright notice that the BIOS Setup had.



When I went to elementary school, quite a few of the keyboards of the computer classroom were IBM Model M-type, and after that I could never quite get used to the feeling of newer keyboards. This one is the closest thing to it that I had, so I kept it around.

My memory...It's 3200mhz...I'd like 3600 but I don't see enough reason to justify that unless I get 32gb.

Oh....could be my Razer Deathstalker...it's so played out the W and D have fingernail indentations...

 

[Decryptor009]

Creative T20 II

 

[FordGT90Concept]

My case is the oldest part, I think. Bought it back in 2009 probably.

Speakers? 2004 Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.1 but they have been serviced twice since then.

For sure, my frankensteined Creative Inspire T7700 7.1 sound system.

My old man gave it to me over 10 years ago after he had it for 5 years or so and moved on to proper home-theatre stuff.

The only thing left original is the subwoofer, I've swapped out the speakers to Tannoy SFX 5.1.....which were also handed down to me from my father hahaha

EVGA 1300G2 PSU ,evolved over time , recent upgrades, have two systems, technically three or four ,still have these-oldest MB MSI SLI , Asus n980SLI,MSI 990FXA SLIX3, and now ASUS X470 Prime

The oldest part of my main rig is, without a doubt, the chassis.

 

[Caring1]

In my main rig it's the PSU.

 

[remixedcat]

my dell precision T3600 workstation isn't the newest kid on the block but was new to me, but the oldest so far as my usage duration happens to be my geforce 650ti.

 

[Melvis]

On my main rig I think that would be my Creative 2.1 Speakers I got back in 2005/2006 off ebay for like $22, still work great today and the sound is just awesome for what they are.

Then I think it would be one of my GTX 970s on my main rig anyway.

 

[xkm1948]

A thermaltake 12cm fan that i bought in 2008. Damn this fan still going strong

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

A small QuadGt badge I took off my first decent home built rig.
For working parts only the two Ddc pumps I have in series have done any real time, 7+ years.
Actually I did rebuild a storage only pc in my old thermal take kandalf LCS case, biggest goddam dual core net drive around but I can't get rid even after 15 year's and a new case, damn it's looking old.

 

[sam_86314]

The oldest components in my system are probably my GTX 1070 and my Crucial MX300, but I got both second hand.

Oldest component in my PC that I got new is the 4TB Seagate Barracuda I use as my data drive. I bought it in February of 2018.

My Klipsch ProMedias are probably the oldest thing in my setup, but again, I bought them secondhand.

The oldest part of my setup that I got new is my Logitech MX Master, which I've had since 2014 I believe. I got it as a gift for originally beta testing it, and it's been a great mouse since then.

The plastic on the left click is polished and shiny from years of regular use, but otherwise it works perfectly. I have no plans to replace it until it dies, and when it does, I'll replace it with another MX Master.

A pair of GTX-1080FE GPUs in my i9-9900K box.

 

[freeagent]

My 120x38 Panaflos that have been running every day since 2005. Next would probably be my first gen WD 1TB Black. Then the rest of my rig is pretty old too, just not as old..

 

[Fouquin]

Unsurprisingly it's my stereo receiver that I run all my outbound audio through. It's a Pioneer SX-253R, and it's not fancy or anything but it was my first full stereo system. Turns 25 this year.

Logitech Z5500

My Logitech Z5500 is going strong as well and easily counts as my oldest part still in use. Runner up for me are my old power supplies. I'm really glad I eventually started buying nice ones.
