What's the oldest component in your computer, and how much did it originally cost (if you remember)?

In my primary machine it would be the NIC. It is a 3Com and I payed about $40.00 for it a year or so ago.

I'm still running on an FIC SD11 slot-A motherboard. I got it in a bundle with a 600 MHz Athlon from TCWO, but I can't remember how much they cost. I'm pretty sure it was over $200, though.

That little cable that connects the cdrom drive to the sound card. I've been using the same one for every computer in the past. I think it costs like 50cents. Other than that, everything else is new.

Probably my yamaha 6x4x16x SCSI CDRW... no wait, the adaptec 2940UW it's attached to.
