What is your oldest PC component/peripheral that you still use today

[P4-630]

Mine is the Be Quiet! Silent Base 600 Case, I bought it in 2016 and it fits my current E-ATX motherboard with other Z690 platform upgrades that I've bought in May 2022.

Second oldest is my Dell 1440p 165Hz G-Sync monitor that I bought in 2017 with all pixels still working flawlessly.

Just recently retired my Antec 900 case from like 2009. Did 3 complete builds with it.

The case (along with the 2011 era Corsair TX power supply and 2012 3770K) are now used for my living room media PC.

My keyboard, I think. It’s the CM QuickFire TKL with MX Blacks and it’s now… a decade old? More? No, definitely more, like 12-13 years. Still running like a champ, nothing to complain about. I have actually bought a replacement a few years ago and was gifted another. They both just sit in their boxes somewhere in my chest of PC parts since I just couldn’t be bothered to swap. Probably will, one day, but… eh.

Honorable mention goes to my pair of Sennheiser HD598’s. They have gone through many earpad replacements and several cables and are also more than a decade old at this point. Again, I have several other cans, some are objectively superior in terms of sound, but none are as comfortable for a daily driver. I genuinely think that the 500 series is the most comfy headphones ever released and am baffled that nobody cloned or copied them, at least shape/formfactor-wise. Having a great planar is all well and good, but you do notice half a kilo (if not more) on your head with prolonged use.

My logitech z560 speakers - coming up at 25 years old.

Probably the case housing my Haswell i5 system. The case is an Antec that originally had a S478 P4 2.0GHz & RDRAM, from around '99-00.

Oh yeah, we have a couple of old workstations at work in the similar cases. I think they are Antec, just IBM branded/badged. They are built like absolute tanks and weigh about the same. I think a single side panel can be used as an effective murder weapon.

My Logitech X-620 6.1 Surround Sound Speaker System with Subwoofer

[Courier 6]

Same for me.

I think they are older than my Cooler Master Stacker 810s.

Also, Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0. Not sure how old that is.

My dad is still using my first self built PC since 2010, the oldest is the housing, an Aluminium LianLi case I bought in 2007 iirc.

I'd like to say my set of Logitech G35 headphones, but I'm actually on my second one that I got 8ish years ago. The one before that I had for maybe 7 years before that....I'd like to think I'd still be using the original pair today had our new dog at the time not come running up and bite the cable for them that was slightly dangling off the desk. She split the cable into multiple pieces rendering it useless.....

I guess the next item is just about as old as my original G35 would have been is my WD5000AAKS hard drive. I got it back in 2011 or so, just before Windows Vista was discontinued. She's been in use a lot during it's lifetime and still going strong. I use it to write all the DVDs to that I end up putting on my Plex server, so I've written and deleted probably 20+TB worth of data on it over the years.

I've got an older 320GB WD Blue drive that is still functional, but I haven't spun it up in a long time for storage purposes. Every once in a while I power it on just to make sure it works, but I haven't had any data on it for a long time. The 320GB drive was my old Vista OS drive and I honestly don't think I've used her since I formatted it all those years back after finally moving to Windows 7.

This PC case. Exact age is unknown, probably over 20 years.

The magnet on the side door says, "The lift is temporarily out of order! Maintenance is ongoing!"

 

[wNotyarD]

A Samsung HD322HJ hard drive. Been tagging along since 2009.

 

[Lew Zealand]

Dell 2001 LCD monitor is my primary work monitor, 23 years old

2009 MacBook Pro powers our document scanning station, 15 yrs old.

2014 Dell Optiplex 7020 is my gaming PC in the office, 10 yrs old.

2016 Toshiba RD400, primary SSD in one gaming PC, 8 yrs old.

Logitech G510 keyboard. When Logitech actually tried.

 

[Sithaer]

I've replaced most of my hardware in the past few years but I still have 2x 8GB DDR 4 3200 MHz Ripjaws from my 2018 first gen Ryzen build running in my current system.
Other than that my LG 29wk600-W monitor since 2019.

 

[P4-630]

Logitech G510 keyboard. When Logitech actually tried.

Released in 2014 I see.

 

[Macro Device]

Oh, and also this bad boy. This DVD-ROM is about 20 years old, too. A perfect monitor height calibration tool.

And yes, I have a knoife loicence, m8s.

 

[kapone32]

Released in 2014 I see.

Yep, I got mine on a combo sale with a G700 mouse. I just replaced the mouse last week. This was one of the boards that tried to change the narrative of what a Gaming keyboard is. An LCD screen that still works with AIDA64, RGB lighting that you can pick any colour, 18 G keys for some serious Grim Dawn spell casting and a cover under the keys that makes cleaning this thing a breeze. One more thing it does not sound like a 1970s typewriter so I can type and hear the TV.

 

[bonehead123]

1. Microsoft Intellimouse...the ORIGINAL ONE with the removable/cleanable rubber ball in the bottom and NO lights either
2. The Apple trash can....still running strong, well, as strong as possible anyways !
3. WD VelociRaptor 600GB/10,000rpm HD... still works in an external enclosure for back ups...

 

[DR4G00N]

I think it would be my Thermaltake Challenger keyboard, 11 or 12 years old IIRC. I mean it's got a fan so what more could you ask for?

 

[oxrufiioxo]

Corsair XP 2500 bought them when they launched so like 12-13 years ago it's pretty much the only thing I've never felt the need to upgrade.

Trust me I've tried to replace them with countless 2.1 and 5.1 systems and always go back.

 

[freeagent]

I am using a Zowie EC2 EVO. Its ok.. side buttons are a bit iffy. My bro gave it to me to replace my G5 I think it was. Great mouse.. this one is not as good imo, but got 8 or 10 years out of the Logitech. Shoot, that was in 2016 that he gave me this mouse.. pretty good I guess..
