The oldest part in your PC is....

HP 8X Writer.. CD that is ;) To this day it reads problem cds that many never DVD-RW or more modern CD-RW/CD-ROM drives refused to even consider reading :D
 
my water cooling is the oldest stuff in my rig, this is the third rig I have had it in upto now.
 
8 year keyboard! I change mine every 2 years maximum (they get really dirty and I lose keys when I lose my temper, I think im missing a tab key on my current keyboard)
 
Akasa Eclipse case. Had it just over 2 1/2 years now, a great buy. Almost everything else bar the slightly newer soundcard and cpu cooler have been swapped out around twice since then.
 
My floppy drive is over 15 years old, I'm not even sure it's still connected thought. My Lite-On CDRW is probably 5 years old and still works very well.
 
Yeah has to be the floppy drive, I dont think its even connected anymore. I think I also have a WD 500Gb drive in there I keep transferring from build to build.
 
My case the oldest part now, and a USB hub of similar age. Think they're about 6 years old now. Otherwise pretty new stuff, everything was refreshed going on two years ago, monitor, keyboard/mouse/chip/mb/psu etc
 
Mine has to be my Saitek Eclipse gaming keyboard, predates my PC by about 6 months, having been bought around November/December 2006, whereas the rest of it dates from May 2007.

It is starting to get a bit worn though, with the W,A,S & D keys on their way out (that's my excuse for my terrible COD4 K-D Ratio anyway). Probably time to get a new one perhaps.
 
I have a 300Gb Segate Baracuda which died now, so its just in my case till i take it out other then that its most likley going to be.

My Asus Striker Extreme Mobo or my Geforce 8600 GTS OC which will come out soon for a 280
 
All mine is pretty much the same age. My C2D E6600. Whole new build adter using a lappy for a year. Mind, I do have a really old TFT monitor in my spare room. The things pretty much bullet proof. Oldest PC part I own is my Parallel Zip100 Drive. I bought it when my 486 only had a 480Mb Hard drive in it. Ive still got 6 cassettes for it.
 
Until about a 18 months ago my dad had a pentium 133mhz running windows AS... never any issue with it (althought it used to take an absolute age to boot) had just sat there and done its job :) got upgraded as we moved pc parts around
