Poll: How old is your current PC?

[Martin]

Let's say the your main home pc / the one you use the most.

I was just talking to someone and realized I built my current computer 5 years ago. My speakers are 8 years old, but my monitor is 2 years old.

Various parts are different ages. Don't care to try to recall. Sorry.

Ditto.

The PC is 4, the scanner is almost old enough for a learner's permit.

[imported_Lothar]

6 years and 8 months.

 

[thescreensavers]

I use my laptop and I got it August/21/08.

 

[NikolaeVarius]

I would say the "soul" of the computer is around 6 years old. I believe I made this in 2003.

AMD 64 3200+
Radeon 9600
512 MB Ram

This is still my main computer, though I've replaced the PSU, increased the Ram to 1.5 gb, and given it a couple extra gigabytes of HDD space.

Still going strong.

 

[nageov3t]

my motherboard is the oldest part at 2 years old, not counting periphials (my monitor is 6-7 years old)

probably upgrading it this summer.

Current machine is my laptop, which is about a year and a half old.

My old rig back at home was my first desktop PC ever, and I built it myself. I've had that since sophomore year of HS so it's coming up on 5 years old now.

AMD64 3400+
1gb ram
the 6800gt died years ago, now I use a 16mb PCI GF420
on my 4th PSU
and an ungodly number of hard drives. Recently upgraded to 2 1tb mirrored.

 

[MegaVovaN]

c2d e6700+
8gb ram
8800GT 512mb

That is less than half year old I think

monitor is over 2 years old, a 22" TN panel

 

[lifeobry]

My main PC is about 6 months old. My previous one is from 2005.

 

[StinkyPinky]

PC is made of parts from different eras. Most of it is about a year old. The floppy disk, is about ten years old.

 

[Jimmah]

AMD 6000+ x2 I got from work free, unknown age
New MB
Ram also free, maybe 4 months old
Video card is new
HDD also new
Case likely a year or so old, also freebie
DVD drive probably 2 years
Monitor recent RMA so it's new
Speakers I got over 6 years ago (new ones from work waiting in a box downstairs, need to build my desk)

 

[Razgriz]

My main PC is my laptop which I got Feb 2008, so about 14 months.

 

[Random Variable]

October 2006

I've made only minor upgrades.

 

[imported_Imp]

3.5-ish

Want to replace it, but no job so don't want to dent savings. Also, I really don't feel like adjusting to Windows Vista when the new one comes out in a year or so. I could still buy Windows XP, but then it'd be outdated with no DirectX 10. That and having to transfer all my shit over.

 

[Baked]

I have no idea, you'll have to to check my sig. It plays WoW, it's all that matters.

 

[eplebnista]

Laptop IBM r51: ~4 years old(bought used six months ago), desktop homebuilt amd s939 winnie 3200 nf4: 4 years old

 

[alkalinetaupehat]

She'll turn one four months exactly before I'm 19, it's been fun and we'll see when I do any core upgrades given college and my changing needs from a computer. Last system is still used as a backup LAN rig and can do L4D alright. It's about 6 years old too.

Its hard to say really, it is a mix of parts old and new.
HD are several years, some still scsi.
motherboard and ram + video card are new.
power supply is 2 years old.
Case 2 years.
Monitors are new this year except one that is 4 years old.

 

[Mr Smiley]

My Pentium 4 (Northwood) is around 8 years old but the 6800gt is 4yrs. My hard drives vary in age.
First thing I am doing when I get out of college is building a new computer.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Just approaching 1.5 years, I think I built it in December 2007.
