I totally forgot my 2005 Raptor. Bought three of those babies back in 2005. 2 died with clicking sounds at the 8 and 9 year mark. The remaining one is still moving along with great numbers (except for total uptime, lol) on EP45 board PC.

My external HD, a 160 GB (it was the biggest available at BB at the time) Seagate. Don't remember exactly when I got it, but I was rocking a pre-built system powered by a XP 1600 CPU at the time. Just used it a couple days ago backing up files for a system restore on a friends laptop.

My old Raidmax X-1 tower is still in use for my daughter's PC.

The oldest piece of hardware that I have, but I haven't used for roughly 8 years is the Gravis Game Pad - I loved this thing when I first started playing Wolfenstein and Doom.

The gamepad worked just fine back on Windows XP, when I used to have a DB15 port to plug it into.....the last DB15 port on my computer was actually part of a SoundBlaster audio card....i think it was the SoundBlaster Live! card....I can't say I can remember what happened to it. I probably gave it to my younger brother in one of the first mealpiece build I did for him from old parts I had.

You should post this in the nostalgic hardware thread instead http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/tpus-nostalgic-hardware-club.108251/page-136#post-3262337

This thread is about old hardware that you still use everyday

I guess my oldest piece of used equipment is my gaming mouse. Its a Logitech G5 gaming mouse from I believe 2005 (I maybe off exactly I cannot remember when I purchased it).

Still use it on my current gaming desktop, I have considered getting a new one but this one just feels right when I use it.

Do speakers count ?, i use some old AR18s which date back to 1982 ( ish ).

As a proud owner of a pair of AR-3a's, they count in my book!

I was using a dell keyboard from the Q6600 era

RejZoR · Apr 2, 2015

Altec Lansing MX5021 2.1 THX certified speakers. They don't make these anymore. They are amazing stuff. I can't understand why Altec Lansing dropped these amazing wired speakers and started producing only bluetooth battery powered garbage...

I matched your keyboard pic, with one of my own. See the edit to my previous post. :toast:

I think this falls within the remit of the thread, definitely vintage. PC case 1996 and in use 24/7

Winebox....running WINE Ubuntu, made by me, pressing the doorbell fires her up. i know i have shown her before on the forums but i am very proud of her so i will show her again.
