My speakers......had them since my first system (was whopping 75MHz). My old floppy finally took a dump on me & had to replace it last month 🙂
 
hmmm... this is tough. my network card is almost 2 years old. 3com 3c905b that a friend of mine gave me from extras at his work. works great. Pretty much the rest of my computer is between a week and a year old
 
since i've onlt "owned" a computer since sept 98' , i've changed EVERYTHING and upgraded everything including psu and floppy (it died on me) cept' one of the IDE cables which i rounded, but it's from my original system...
 
No question. My 17" Samsung 17gl(circa 1993). House hit by lightening in summer of 97' and the Samsung was only part not hurt. This thing just keeps trucking along. Next one will be 955DF. Soon I hope.
 
Nothing. This is a completely new everything mucho better system. (and it better last me for a looooooooong time) 😉

As for Komet, the oldest part in that one is the scanner interface card. Very dusty. Dunno why it is still in there up to this day. 😕
 
in my current pc it would be my fireport 20 scsi card. in my linux box it would be the 5 1/4 floppy, I have had that since my 286
