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

My Adaptec U320 SCSI card and 15k Maxtor HDD in the server. Been running rock solid for years which is pretty impressive considering on days like this the ambient temp is +30C :eek:
 
I still use a Compaq Deskpro EN6350 running Windows 2000 as a sheepdip machine for some of the older (20+ years) servers that the good old Post Office still use.

We still have the LotPrize (no prizes for guessing what that does!) server that uses a modem to dial up to Camelot servers!!!!

Up until last year (November I think) we had several desktops running Win 95 for bespoke applications.
 
The oldest hardware I am using is currently my keyboard.

1990 Dell branded AT102W. Been using it 22 years now :)

My trusty old Microsoft mice (I bought 3 more or less at the same time over 10 years ago) still going strong, they do the job I want & they work on any PC I plus them into, regardless of the OS that I've installed on that PC.
 
Must be my main monitor. Dell 2407-HC was an absoulte beast when I bought it back in 2007! I dread to think how many thousands of hours it's clocked up given how much I use my PC and it still looks as good as the day I got it.

I get the feeling it will soon be relegated to 2nd monitor given the positive reviews the ROG Swift is getting though.
 
My oldest hardware is the rig in my sig, Q6600, P5k-E, GTX285 (replaced 8800gt that died) antec earthwatts 500w psu. Been running the q6600 at 3.4-3.5 ghz at 1.48v since i got it new mid 2007 i think. Still running well and the only upgrade i have ever done is the gtx285. Feeling the need to build a new rig/upgrade soon but buying a house at the moment so dont have the spare cash. Got a laptop running an amd turion dual core RM72 which is a bit slow to boot up but i blame vista for that.
 
I'm a young'un so the oldest in use hardware is a 2550K.

But I have a beige a4tech keyboard as a backup/BIOS starter that is only a year younger than me.
 
My work pc is 6 years old & starting to show it's age.
At home, the oldest items are about 7 months, as it was a new build at the beginning of the year.
 
We have a set of 3.5mm 2.0 speakers dating from around 1996. I'm nostalgically attached to them: they remind me of the days when my music collection consisted of MIDIs and cassette tapes.

My keyboard is a 1989 IBM Model M. I'm typing this post on it.

The Model M doesn't have any Windows keys, does it?

To be honest, unless there is a radical change in keyboard design or input for the pc, I can't see myself changing anytime soon. Quite happy with my clicky keys :)
 
My second rig has my oldest components:
Q6600 @ 3.0 GHZ still going strong
880GT 512mb still works fine but damn it's warm!
Asus P5KC mobo
4x 1GB OCZ platinum DDR2 ram

Many happy days gaming on that and 'playing' Crysis 1
