My floppy drive is out of an old 486, oh and I've got an ancient 13 gig hard drive with my very old junk on it.

My Cheiftech Dragon is getting on for 4 years old I suspect.

EDIT: Oh my god, I've just relised I've been on these forums for 5 years!!!

I've still got a deskstar 75gxp plugged into it, giving an extra 30gb storage. I can't remember how old it is now though...

that must be the only 75GXP that forgot to blow up after 5 minutes, don't let it see this post or it'll remember!

Floppy disc drive. It has jumped from system to system and must be about 8 years old now. I only use it for bios flashes but it is still used.

Has to be my floppy drive. Was passed on to me from my dad about 6 years ago, hed been using it for maybe 2 by then. I'd say its as loud as my x1900 cooler, but I love it anyway!

2x Seagate 250GB HDDs from 2004

cooljimy84 · 5 Oct 2007 at 15:50

does this count for things connected to my PC ??

If so my old Teleton 550 SX amp, as the sound cards these days don't seem to be able to power speakers very well these days.
My dad had it when he was 18 so..........

32 years and still blowing up speakers !!!

They really don't make things like they used to !!!!

Well... its been a year since i ditched my 10+ year old 4gb hard drive, and that 1997 15" Crt went this summer... and the X-Fi replaced the ol' SB 512

In this Pc now... if i dont count the headset that came with SOCOM navy seals... it would be the 80gb Hard drive thats 2004 June

My other PC Still runs the SB 512 now and then though for DOS support mainly, thats 1999
