What's the oldest hardware you have that you are still using?

Installing Windows 8.1 w update on a Dell Vostro 1510, this thing is like a million years old, and it's still working fine. Added an SSD about a year ago and it does everything fine.

The battery is dead, so it has to be plugged in to work, but apart from that, the screen, keyboard etc still work perfect. Got to be the best value hardware I ever bought.

What hardware are you guys still using from the stone age?

In the system in sig, the oldest part is probably the psu. Bought it on the members market about 5 years ago. Monitors on both systems are fairly old. Benq fp241w in sig is about 5 years old, 7 year old viewsonic vx2025 in the second machine. Its an x58 based system and the primary hdd in it is about 8 years old, (western digital caviar 250gb). Ive had more drives die in that time that were used on my various primary systems.

You've done really well on the monitors, that much use and they pretty much pay for themselves. Hoping my imported Shimian keeps on going like that. Had a couple HDD drives die on me over the years, everything else just seems to keep on working.

I retired my Athlon XP rig (bought 2002) at the end of last year. But I still use it occasionally for remoting in to work, as I haven't set it up on the new PC yet.

So 12 years old

Think you got me beat there, 12 years that is crazy. Would never of expected this stuff to last so long. Think this laptop is around 7 years old. Got W8.1 up and running now, it boots in seconds . Got a core 2 duo in it and like 4GB DDR2. Amazing that it's still this quick. I offered to replace it for my gal but she says she is happy to use it until it dies, bless her. Doesn't have the compulsion I have to buy the latest stuff . My better half..

The old viewsonic is a bit scratched here and there, (got dropped while decorating), but aside from that its going great. Pretty much been in use every day for at least 12 hours. The benq is still like new, though i fancy an upgrade to a 27" soon.

27" 1440P is really nice tbh. Sounds like you have waited long enough for an upgrade

Hope my screen can last as long as yours I did think about selling a lil while ago, and going 4K now but the 4K screens are so expensive and need at least 2 GPU's to push that many pixels. I'm done with dual GPU's so hoping I can use this shimmy until it dies, even 2-3 years would be enough, 4K will be decent price by then and much better GPU's around.

I still have a old rig with sli gtx 8800

They were some awesome cards, had one of them back in the day.
