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

in my current rig the Kingston 240GB SSD Now V300 is the oldest piece of hardware in my rig :) my old rig is still in use for my 10 y o schooling and gaming :)
 
Because of this thread I am considering installing my Creative Labs Modem Blaster V92 56K PCI dial up modem (bought in the 90's for $100) in my newly built Athlon X2 64 4200. You can still get NetZero dial up internet. You can get 10 hours free. I'll I need is a phone line.
 
My boot drive, Corsair Neutron GTX 120GB

Hi all. As I've renewed my system in the past weeks, inside my GTX 1060 3GB ( waiting for the 3060Ti when available) and my old power supply Cooler Master 600W 80+, outside my Logitech X530 ( more than 12 years?, I can't remind...)
 
I suppose that you got a pretty good amount of cash from it, as the prices of AWE64 Gold starts from 150EUR on ebay..

I got about £200 for the whole system. I bought the awe64 gold back in about 2004 or 2005 when they were very cheap on ebay. I also had a full-length awe 32 for a while which I also bought very cheap and sold for much more than I paid. I only wish I had bought several of them at it would have been a good investment!
 
If my Lian Li case is counted, PC-B25S,
If not, Seasonic X-560.

I don't use them anymore and I gifted them to my friends and last time (within a year) I asked they are still functioning.
Another drive, OCZ Vertex 2 64 GB, still worked like half a year ago but then I left it with my old place.
 
New parts arrive on Friday....

atm.
1 DIMM (4GB) of my DDR3 RAM from 2010 :)

PDP TV 50inch too from 2010 :D
PS3 2010
JVC Receiver from 1996
Akai All in One 1986

I remember my uncle having a 16MB USB drive. That was like in 2003 or something.
32MB Memory Stick from Sony :toast:

On my previous post I mentioned that my keyboard and wheel are from about 2007. But from my stuff where I'm the first owner, I got my mouse (G400s) 6½ years ago and it's still working like new. It's just hella worn up after all that usage, but that's just a cosmetic flaw. I had a G400 before that and I got that when I RMA'd it (the wheel got stuck).
 
My keyboard is an old beige Compaq KB-9963, it's pretty old probably early 2000's, PS2 connector.... unfortunately it's not mechanical or of the same standard as IBM model M keyboards but I like the retro look and feel and my mrs called it a granny keyboard the other day :laugh: oh and it's also Spanish language, though thankfully that's not too far from a standard UK qwerty layout so I manage to get by with it most of the time without having to think too hard.
