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

[oxrufiioxo]

Corsair SP2500 I want to say they're 8-9 years old.

If were talking oldest currently used today then it has to be my processor FX-60 & DDR1 memory. Believe it or not this is my main computer which I use for playing modern games. I do not own a computer higher than this other than my laptop Acer Ferrari 1200, which I use for posting in threads which is 10 years old.

My oldest component is my display (Dell Ultrashapr U2015H) which I purchased in July 2016. Still runs great and does what I need, so no hurry to change it

 

[R-T-B]

I'm currently using a circa 2009 1080p Panasonic Plasma display, does that count?

Ones newer than 2010 tend not to support Chroma 4:4:4 (they introduced a picture processor that downsampled everything to chroma 4:2:2), so I keep the old stock refurbished. What can I say? I like pretty colors and can't afford OLED.

 

[Chomiq]

My BenQ display. Bought it in 2014, still works fine.

 

[Outback Bronze]

Original Swiftech MCP 655.

I think its close to 10 Years old now, maybe more and still going strong!

 

[rtwjunkie]

It’s a tossup for me.

On my main rig it is a Thermaltake Max5G external HDD enclosure.

And for the last 8 weeks of teleworking during Covid-19 I broke out my MX-518 for my work laptop.

 

[Toothless]

My WD Caviar Green 1TB drive. It's the only thing I have from my first functional desktop. (Athlon X4 620) Booted it on Dec 26th 2009.

A pair of Philips desktop speakers. I can't remember when I bought them but theyr're at least 13 years old.

But they're pretty.

A desktop case : the Cooler Master CM Stacker 830 Evo

I used it for, like 5 years, then i gave it to my father for 2-3 years, then it came back to me and became my nextcloud server for 1 year.

One week ago i gave it a real good cleanup and gave it away to a friend as the housing for his new gaming rig.

 

[8BitZ80]

My current rig only has parts from 2014 or newer. Nothing too remarkable.

I've still got a Gigabyte P35 DS3P motherboard and Thermaltake TR2 RX-500 power supply from 2008 installed in a ready-to-go system. Both are still rock solid reliable, although I haven't powered up the system for weeks so they don't get used much.

Nice read Ive actually got most of my last setup still intact but doing service as a HTPC. That is a 2012-13 build and almost everything in there is as it always was, board CPU storage and cooling... The current rig did get hooked up to the Harman Kardon 5.1 AVR137 with attached 5.1 speaker setup, I think that one is now moving towards 16-18 years of age? The only part that was replaced is the subwoofer.

 

[INSTG8R]

My case. Was built for Pentium 4. I’ve just changed the CPU block

Kandalf LCS- VD4000BWS

 

[Hyderz]

logitech g110 got it 10 years ago

 

[Lorec]

Pioneer HTZ-363DV 5.1 Stereo surround system.
Its 13 years old, bought it second hand
Works like a charm

 

[E-Bear]

2006 dvd-rw in my main rig

 

[Sithaer]

Built my current system in 2018 so most parts aint that old but I did keep my 1TB WD Blue HDD from my old system,its around 5 years old I think.

 

[P4-630]

Logitech Z323, bought in 2010.

 

[Yukikaze]

I have a Logitech Z-2300 speaker set that is 13 or 14 years old. It still works perfectly.

 

[dhdude]

Got a 10 year old WD Black still in service in my home server. My 850w Seasonic in my main rig is 7 years old this year.

Oldest hardware that I still have is my Pentium II 300MHz with 96mb RAM rig from 1998! But that hasn't been booted in quite some time! (My first PC, kept all these years for sentimentality.)

Also built a retro rig around my 15 year old Asrock i865 mobo and an old Dimension 3000 case with a 2.8GHz P4 and 6200 AGP but havent got around to installing requisite version of Windows, tested a recent Linux Mint distro on it though, worked well with 2GB DDR400!

[droopyRO]

My PSU. A Seasonic G650 650W unit. It works flawlessly since 2013.

 

[Valantar]

Main rig (that's currently back in Norway while I'm in Sweden, waiting for the move-in date on my next apartment): Dell U2711 monitor (2011) and Fury X + Supernova 750W G2 (2015).
Living room PC (also waiting on the move): Asrock FM2 motherboard + A8-7600 + Silverstone SFX-L 550W + Fractal Node 304 + at least a couple of the HDDs in there (2015)
Hold-over travel PC: Dell Optiplex 990 SFF chassis (heavily modified) + motherboard + i5-2400 + half the RAM currently in the system (2012 I think?)

 

[TheLostSwede]

A six year old 32GB SanDisk Extreme USB 3.0 drive? I use it as my Windows install drive.
