[MotF Bane]

Various parts are different ages, but the CPU/motherboard/memory are all about four months old.

Just bought a new one a few weeks ago to replace a 3 year old PC (Pentium D 820)
My laptop will be 2 years old on Black Friday (purchased at 9:00 PM, the only time I'm willing to go into a store on Black Friday)

Speaking of, I'm thinking about getting a Dell Mini 10 or 9 just for surfing on the go. While I love my Hi-fi and 24" monitor, I do enjoy sitting in the living room infront of the TV more.

Upgraded in late November. Only thing old is my processor as I've had that for 3 years but everything else was replaced in late November.

This PC was built at the end of September last yr

My SONY Vaio is 2 yrs old now

 

[Squisher]

5+ years

2.4 GHz Pentium 4

I've been wanting to upgrade for a while, but now that it's been so long it'll have to be a total build.

I've gotten pretty used to fanless everything so it's not going to be cheap, but I really want a SSD.

My T23 was manufactured in August of 2002, bought it used from Craigslist for $75 in 09/06. My Inspiron 8200 was manufactured in September of 2002, bought it brand new for $1700. What a stupid decision that was. I've pretty much stopped caring about computer hardware for the most part. I figure I'll upgrade to something newer when a used C2D laptop is around $200.

Main PC going on 5 years now.

2.8GHz Pentium 4
Went from Radeon 9800 to to Geforce 6600GT
Went from 512mb to 1gig
Up'ed my PSU to 250W (ahha yeah I know)

other than that, nochanges. Still the same 40 gig HD. Everything works just fine and does everything I need it do it.

Once med school started I bought a laptop (Latitude D420) rather than upgrading my desktop.

 

[BoomerD]

Original build was fall 2003. upgraded the CPU in 2004, mobo and vid card in 2005, (with 2003-4 technology) HDD in 2006 and PSU in 2007

 

[GhettoFob]

~1.5 years old

Macbook Air, purchased 12/17/08

 

[theprodigalrebel]

Athlon 64 socket 754 2800+ and it runs ridiculously hot. But it has an 8X AGP slot, w00t! 7600GT died so am running it on IGP.

I keep thinking I'll upgrade the damn thing. Then I realize I'll never have time to actually get any gaming done so the few games I play, I play at my friends'. Sometimes, I think I might get into still photography and maybe get a AVCHD camcorder as well since I enjoy working with video; might give me incentive to upgrade the damn thing.

So when's Lynnfield coming out again?

 

[quakefiend420]

the one i use the most is my work laptop, it's about 3 months old, my home desktop is pushing 3 years now

 

[foghorn67]

Use my laptop the most. It's about 10 months old. My desktop is about 15 months old, but it can handle anything I can throw at it. (The most tasking game I throw at it is FSX.)
They both should last me quite a while since I hate the upgrade game. I am more of a drive it into the ground, then build a whole new one kind of guy.

 

[grrl]

Last upgrade (CPU, PSU, mobo, RAM, vid card) was almost 3 years ago.

 

[JujuFish]

Recently replaced my nearly 6 year old desktop.

 

[frostedflakes]

2-2.5 years, which is quite a long time for me. I used to be a lot more into tinkering, overclocking, etc., but my latest system was built with the intention of actually using it instead of it being in pieces half the time.

Will probably try to get another year or two out of this system and then build something new from scratch (but reuse the case/PSU of course and maybe a few other parts).

 

[PrinceofWands]

Well, different parts from different times, but my newest part is probably my processor, an Athlon XP 2500. It wasn't just released when I put it in, but it was still about the fastest for that chipset. In the process of upgrading...though I have been for like six months and still haven't finished the system.

 

[shortylickens]

Mine is just a collection of parts.
The oldest is the floppy drive I never use (and may not even work) which is about 6 years.
The newest is the motherboard and CPU which are about 6 months.

Just bought an I7, did it out of necessity but it ended up being a great machine.
