"If I could keep only ONE part from my system it would be..."

[Mr N8]

Logitech Z5500 speakers. I can use them on the TV/Xbox, so without the PC, they are actually useful.

EDIT: Assume all of your data/music/movies/files/etc is safely copied on a hard drive or similar in a safe deposit box somewhere

So then the question is really just "what's the most expensive component in your computer"? Why don't you just ask that?

Well not necessarily....many have parts that aren't the most expensive but they may have put some work into like a custom modded case....or in my case my Hauppauge PVR-250. Both my hard drive and CPU are worth more $. The main use for my PC however is transferring old home movies to DVD for friends and family, recording my wife's favorite TV shows since she has to work nights, and being able to load 20 Pokemon episodes into a media player so my kids will be occupied while I nap 😀
