The Noctua heatsink unit I am still using on an Ivybridge chip was one of the originals that I bought new with a Core 2 Duo E6600 in 2006. Noctua sent me a free fitting kit for socket 1156 when that launched and that still works with the later sockets. I have replaced the fan with a newer Noctua one though. So the oldest bit I am using is a chunk of metal ...nothing to go wrong with it though really I suppose.
The oldest piece of electronics in use in any of my systems is probably an optical drive now.
I have older stuff but not in use. Such as an IBM Model M from 1995 some early 2000's kit still. Anything older has since been thrown out.
