Who's got the oldest PSU?

I have a Corsair HX750 (the old black and blue one) still running in my gaming rig. I’m fact, my whole gaming PC is from 2013 expect the GPU where it died and was replaced with an RX570 some time ago. It does chug a bit now tbh and has no TPM so stuck on Windows 10. Not a big problem yet though.

What’s more notable about the PSU is that I bought it second hand in 2013, so I don’t actually know how old it is!

Don’t skimp on your PSU, good ones do generally last. No idea if Corsair is still in that category now though.
 
I had an Amiga 1200 that was still functional when I sold it a couple years ago, had an 040 accelerator and 120MB HDD.

Bought in 1994 for £349 (A1200 only) which I saved up by washing dishes in the local pubs kitchen for half a year.

So it's power brick must have been 27+ years old at the time of sale. Believe it still works today so nearly 30 years old.
 
My current power supply is 7 years old, but I ALWAYS buy a new one whenever I build a new rig.

I'm building a new rig in a couple of months, in October or November, with a 7800X3D and a 7900XT with 64GB of DDR5.
 
PSU's in use here are.

Corsair HX450 from around 2008
Seasonic X-650 from around 2009
Corsair VS350 from around 2012
CoolerMaster V1000 Gold from around 2015
Seasonic Prime SnowSilent 650w Platinum from around 2019
NZXT C750 Gold from around 2022
Seasonic Prime TX-850 Titanium from around 2022

Tempted to get a new one at some point, would maybe like to get a 9950X3D2 when it comes out, and would be tempted with a 5090/6090 possibly, and seriously tempted with a Noctua themed build at some point, though I have still to use the NZXT H9 Flow and Arctic P14 Pro's I bought so it would not be for a while.

I have to ask, why do you have 7 PC's?

In a more general sense something I like about devices like the Lenovo Legion Go (OK laptops exist) I don't have to have separate setups any more i.e. at one point I'd have a PC at my parents, where I was living, a flat I was using for work, etc.
 
My 2014 SuperFlower Leadex GOLD 850W Fully Modular 80 Plus Gold gave up the ghost last week, so I've just replaced it with a Corsair RM1000x.
 
I have an OCZ ZS 750W from 2011 that I used for many years, but it is still in use on my 3rd PC.
Sometimes I use it to test stuff, like fans, pumps and etc...
At the moment, I'm using to test my D5 pump that has been sitting for many many years

I can match that.

Ive got an OCZ zx1250 from around that time powering my rig, dont think its healthy though as im starting to get random power offs under load, so its going soon
 
I upgraded my friend PSU last week, removed a Corsair GS800 from his rig. Think he’d had it since around 2010 and was still running perfectly.
