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

[Ripcord]

Still using my Ninja plus rev b, think it dates back to 2007 still using the original mounting kit on AM4, i am also using logitec z540 5.1 speakers they might be older, i cant remember if i got them first or not its been a while but as long as i have had them ive always felt they had too much base .

So you would trade in the old, broken for a new, and younger body? What then?

My Case - HAF 932 11 yrs and seagate drives (5 yrs) - all new insides

I have the HAF XB EVO for one of my systems.

Love this thing!

Currently the odd part out is the 1070, which I'm currently using as I sold my 2080 Ti in anticipation for Ampere.
When I get the new GPU, the oldest part will be one of my SSDs, I suppose. I have a 500GB LE Force drive that I've had for 4 years. But it rarely sees any use and is probably going to my unRAID box soon, so after that, all of my stuff is basically new as I've been upgrading everything over the last year. The oldest part will be my 3700X.

oldest running hardware eh,
i got a Pentium E2160, Asus P5KPL-AM, and 2GB of DDR2 running office spreadsheets at my office.
still running strong, no hiccups whatsoever, apart from it being rather slow
the other PC i have is a Core 2 Duo E7400, Asus P5Q3, and 4GB of DDR3, it is stored now, but last time i check it is still posting

i forgot where i put my Corsair Force GT 120GB, maybe in my parents laptop, still running strong till today
i also still using the old Altec Lansing ATP-3, running strong as a music player at the bedroom

for my own PC, its the Hitachi Deskstar 500GB HDD from 2007, which is still at 100% now.
been running strong, been using it just for temporary storage before i move it to the appropriate folder

Et tu Mussels?

 

[djisas]

I just acquired a new piece of old tech, it's already better than the onboard garbage, i still seem to have background noise while the soundcard is idle, im pretty sure it's coming from the fuckin chipset fan...

 

[mstenholm]

X58-UD7, OC’ed since day one. 11 year now and since I recently decided to only run it day time it from time to time have a RAM detection problem. It will eventually boot.

My oldest piece of continuously running hardware is....

ME..hahahahaha......

And NO, I am not gonna post my age here, just suffice it to say that I am old enough to know not to do that, as well as to say that I started using computers back when they took up considerablly more space than they do now ....

 

[Athlonite]

I found a photo of the Panasonic system I use to have. It was still in excellent condition but took up too much space. A little heavy on the bass that I didn’t care for as I got older.

Hmmm very similar speaker design to mine

Oh I almost forgot to mention my Silverstone RaVeN RV02B-W (+ USB3 upgrade kit) which I'm still using since I bought it in 2010 it's had a few up/side grades over the years

 

[djisas]

I have this from 1998, a kenwood Hi-Fi system, and an even more ancient Hi-FI system.
It's a Nokia hifi 8700 CD, in the picture branded as Luxor (mine's branded nokia) it's the same model, I have no clue about this one's story only know it was unwrapped new in very early 90's. Mybe Nokia was for europe and Luxor for russia or something...

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

I found out where my OCZ power supply ended up , I'm torn on mentioning it to my cousin he's skint but that things 20 years old.


I replaced the fan in it last week and realised it's heritage, that thing ran two 3870 ,two 460s two 5870s and still doing it.

It was the similarity that reminded of my former Panasonic system.

What would the capacitor age work out to?

 

[AsRock]

My other rig has 2 Intel SATA2 80GB drives in it which back then were $480 for the pair lol. My main rig uses some old Paradigm SE5 speakers does that count ? .

 

[jboydgolfer]

Dell ultrasharp wfp2407 , got it on craigslist around ‘06 or so for $35 (originally sold above $800, dudes wife sold his stuff after divorce) . the previous owner bought it new In early ‘06, & I ran it for 13 yrs, then gave it to one of the kids, it still runs great, & still has the sound bar. So 2006-2020

 

[Sakpenake]

My oldest piece hardware from the pre historic era is this below

Proud you to present the Altec Lansing AVS 300.
This 18 yo. speaker is still comfortable to accompany me in listening to music and playing games
Even so, I'm still looking my legendary dream one from Altec Lansing
The Altec Lansing 621

 

[verycharbroiled]

USB modem. plugged in since 2007 and run more or less 24/7/365 since. i dont even remember the model i would have to check in the closet lol

 

[djisas]

Slowly getting rid of the old junk here, those 80mm Thermaltake fans still have better specs 15 years later than 95% of the fans in the market, only replacing them with noctua's because they are turning bad and the old case's fan controller is a cable mess I wanna get rid of...
Getting rid of my "last" mechanical drive, will still keep the modern 4TB WD red it's just for storage and doesn't sound like an engine revving up.

I remember when Samsung made HDD. My samsung spinpoints no longer work now. I would like to go all ssd but I use to much storage for 4k videos.

 

[maxfly]

Oldest component i still use in my main rig is my Acer xg27ohu monitor, picked it up in 2016. The OP brought back some fond memories of the z680s! Those where some badass speakers. House shakers! Bought a set from compusa but had to return them unfortunately due to terrible static whenever i changed the volume. Exchanged them for some klipsch promedia 5.1s that died 10 or 12 years ago. Need to get off my rear and get them fixed. Actually looked for the z680s a couple of years ago but they no longer exist unless you want to pay stupid money for them haha. Ah the good ol days lol.

Well, I have a 4TB hdd, used to run 4-5 hdd's before (case has room for 6 full size hdd, I guess the fdd bays could hold another 2), slowly got rid of them all, but it will be a while until high capacity SSD become affordable...

Hmm, I'm still have my ancient creative 7.1 speaker system, after messing around with my pc yesterday was having a lout static noise on center channel, fixed it out after some cable management.
Would like to replace the set some day, maybe with a full home cinema set-up...
