I bought my laptop sometime this past spring. My desktop is a conglomeration of different eras.

This thread seriously needs a pole!

My work laptop and home laptop are about 2 years old, and my desktop is about 2 and a half.

My netbook is only two months old, but that doesn't really count. I treat that thing more like an overgrown calculator.

Desktop's CPU, MOBO and HD are 6 years old. Videocard is a bit newer, maybe 4?

It is kinda like an old woman who has had plastic surgery. Different parts from different ages.

Built it Christmas-ish of second year of college. Now 2 years removed, so almost 4 years now. Want to upgrade, but don't know what to get. C2D is outdated, the hell is i5 and i7...

 

[Schadenfroh]

The Q9450 cost me $300 on sale (was ~$350 at most stores at the time). However long ago that was.

 

[nageov3t]

overall, my oldest component is my 2nd monitor, which is 6 years old (19" LCD, bought in 2003... my primary monitor is a ~year old 24" LCD).

the oldest part inside my actual computer is about a year and a half old (video card). I overhaul it every 2-3 years and that happened to be this past summer.

 

[coldmeat]

2 years, 4 months.

5 something years old, coming up on 6 soon, HDDs are even older. Athlon xp 2700+/7600 GT because the original vid card died. Building an i5/4890/win7 in a couple weeks, should be a nice upgrade..

Wow I lost track, I was in college when I built it, so it's at least 3 years old, if more. It's an AMD Athlon X2 with 3.5GB of ram. I have room for 8 but no point on a 32 bit OS. Later on I want to either upgrade to Linux or XP 64. I would love to upgrade my PC but I don't have much need to, I'm happy with what I got. What I'll probably end up doing in the future is turning this into a HTPC when I get a decent TV setup.

When ever c2d 8500 and GTX280 was out. Case is about 6 yrs old.. That's the only problem with water cooling silent but I never feel like fucking with it. C2D @ 4.1Ghz daily driver.

 

[lxskllr]

Built mine in the fall of 06

 

[Chriscross3234]

Roughly three years ago. Intel C2D E6400, GeForce 7900GS, Gigabyte GA-965P-S3, still only 2GB of RAM, Antec 900. I would love to upgrade, but there's really no point. The only upgrade I've done was my video card to an 8800GT and my rig still plays most current games with high settings (no AA though). Plus, now I'm a broke college kid 🙁.

 

[TecHNooB]

~5

 

[Zebo]

Where is the pole BTW?

 

[Pantlegz]

~2 years old 🙁 can't believe it's been that long, as long as I graduate like I'm supposed to in about a week I should be replacing it soon. e8400, GTX260 SLI, 4gb 1066 DDR2... it's not slow I may wait for Intel's next CPU to roll around before I upgrade, I can't make up my mind.

 

[TridenT]

I built it in July 2008.

Asus Rampage Formula X48 Motherboard LGA 775
Intel Core 2 Duo E7200
Corsair TX750W PSU
4x1GB DDR2 800 Crucial Ballistix Tracer ram
1TB 5400-7200 Western Digital GreenPower SATA II HDD
Some does it all optical drive...
Antec 300 case
Thermaltake Typhoon something other fan... I was supposed to get a $35 rebate on this but it never came back. Fuckers. I'm out $35. Never do their rebates.
BenQ G2400WD 24" LCD.
Microsoft Pro Media Keyboard...
Logitech G5 mouse
Sennheiser HD555 headphones
TWO ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB Video cards in CrossFireX.

That's about all I think... It was fucking expensive and I regret it.

Upgraded my system to a Q9550/X48 DDR2 setup just in august.
Using my 8800GTS 320MB from 3 yrs ago. Case in my trusty lian li PC65 from 7 years ago.

 

[I Saw OJ]

Laptop is about a year and a half old.

 

[Turbonium]

About 7 years now.

• Intel D875PBZ
• P4 2.4C -> 3.2C
• 512MB -> 1024MB -> 2048MB*
• ATI 9600 Pro -> NVIDIA 6800 GT -> ATI 4650*
• Antec 480W -> Seasonic 430W
• I've lost track of the HDD upgrade path, but it currently has 840GB total

I'll probably still be using this system 2-3 years from now, unless I get into more modern games before then (i.e. StarCraft 2) that would truly benefit from a newer system.

* I haven't yet installed these components - no time. 🙁

Here's an older pic:

Just over 2 months old. Sold off my entire e8400 system except the HDs, GTX260, and TX750.

  Haha That was about 12 "upgrades" ago for me. Really silly now that I think about it. I still want i7
  
  Nice case.
