[Broadkipa]

3.5 inch floppy drive in my sons new PC, 5 years old out of my first PC.Still going strong(hardly ever used)Apart from the floppy it would be a 4Gig hard drive from old pc about 3 years old.

 

[chuckieland]

the oldest parts in my computer are
My 3dfx voodoo3 3500tv and Toshiba 5X DVD rom

Definitely my Northgate keyboard, bought in 1988 with my Northgate 386-16 with 1MB RAM! (4MB would have cost another $1,000!) Other than that, like Roger, the operator.....

Of the 5 pc's in my home the electrons in the floppy drives are all the same age. Come to think of it the electrons everywhere are all the same age. Floppy drives are probably the oldest components as well as the oldest technology within the systems. Long live the floppy.

My soundblaster AWE 16...that's pretty damn old...6 years I think

It has to be my speakers: a pair of Yamaha YSt-M10's. They still sound pretty good but I really should upgrade them.

Used to be my floppy until about 4 days ago when it took a sh** on me and had to replace it
Now it's my Monster MX300 sound card......about a year or so old. That is oldest component IN my system. Oldest part I have still hooked to my system is my speakers.....set of SDTA Multimedia speakers I've had for about 3 years now......

5 1/4" floppy and DEC keyboard from 1992. Keyboard was used when purchased then. Might as well lose the 5.25" drive. Haven't even spun it for over 5 years! The 3.5" floppy from then is still working in PC #2. The 14" Seiko Trinitron that was purchased used for that 1992 system just got retired 12-26-00. It's still working fine though...

The case or maybe my Diamond Supra Express modem.

 

[TheOverlord]
