Poll: what is the oldest piece of hardware in your main computer?

[OnlY_oNe]

I think my 2 years (orso) old awe64 isa....

I just love abit for still making boards with isa slots

If you count my external cdwriter in... than that is the oldest piece of hardware. About 3 years orso? A ricoh 1060c

I am still using a 64MB stick of PC100 that I bought in 97 I think. I also have a LS-120 that I bought at the same time that still gets used all the time.
My case is from 96. Does that count?

Its my A drive. I have been using it since my old 8086/8088. Those drives just last forever. I dont ever really use it though.

Probably my two Voodoo 2 12 Megs. Next would be my floppy drive, then everything else is pretty new.

I have the floppy drive, ISA modem and Mitsumi keyboard from my first open architecture system that I got in July '98. I've upgraded so many time that that original system has reassembled itself as my THIRD rig that I gave to my girlfriend. (And the video and audio are better than stock!)

I would have to say this old ISA FM tuner card ('95 or '96 I think?) and of course, the ever-recycled 1.44 floppy..

ESS 6896 ISA soundcard. I might have the # wrong but you get the idea. I also have a S3 Trio PCI video adapter in for a week.

 

[Noriaki]

My Linksys LNE100TX network card is about 2.5 years old.
My Gravis Gamepad Pro (Read: Winamp remote ) is 2 years old.
Nothing else is more than a year and a half. Even my case and floppy are just over a year.

My whole computer, circa 1997.
*Bows head in shame*

oh well, I'll only be embarassed until DDR comes out

 

[Rigoletto]

A floppy drive that seems to date back to 1992. Like, who cares about floppy drives, huh?

 

[OnlY_oNe]

oh I forgot something, my keyboard is of 1986

Beat that

 

[Linh]

my case, including floppy.

 

[RSI]

The case and floppy and power supply are the oldest, they are back from the 486 days. Everything else came after... the old cdrom and sb16 I still use, but they are still newer than the case floppy and power supply. Everything else in my comp is newer than that... K6-2, VA-503+, DFE-538TX, 56K 3com, Quantum LM, etc...

 

[snow patrol]

My 128meg PC100 Dimm is about 2 years old...(and it does 146mhz )
