[Sunner]

Two sticks of PC-100 mem, bought those when PC-100 was "the $hit", cant even take anything over 112 but heck, they'll have to last until DDR is available and affordable.

 

[fastman]

Floppy, Cira 92.

I bought my POS Gateway (Gateway2000 it was named then lol) in 95/96 (can't remember), the newest compnonent I put in was a cable modem, all the rest is still ancient : STB velocity3D (S3virge/VX), Ensoniq soundscape, 12x mistumi CD reader which is absolutely the biggest f**king POS I have ever used (traded it TWICE, and it's utter crap, nothing but problems), and a whole lot of other bunch of old stuff (P200MMX, 64 mb SDRAM, 3,4 Gb (petite...), a voodoo1 (purchased in 97) card which can still manage Q3 (with a bit of imagination, YAY 3Dfx).


going to upgrade very soon now tho...

[MuffD]

this has got to be my 128mb stick of ram and d-link nic

 

[BA]

Probably my external SCSI case. It originally housed 1x proprietary Sony drives back in 1993.

 

[pen^2]

5.25'' 1.2MB FDD, beat that!

 

[Midnight Rambler]

Hey Brotherman, you just barely beat me to it on the 5 1/4 drive. Mine's a Teac from '86 or 87.

In addition to that it would have to be my circa 1986 IBM keyboard. Best keyboard ever made, period. Thank goodness for P/S 2 converters !

 

[AMB]

Mine is a floppy disk drive that is about 5 years old, or it could be an old case fan lying about

 

[aUt0eXebat]

my voodoo 3 3000 AGP vid card....

 

[Fingers]

A 5 1/2" floppy from an 80-86, not sure what year that is, sometime in the 80's though, and a 3 1/2' floppy from a 2-86

 

[MikeHelvey]

I was supprised to realize the only legacy equipment I have is my ATI AIW Pro video card, and it is only two years old. Oh yea, I have a 5 year old fan I scrounged out of my last power supply filling a blow hole!
