What's the oldest operational computer you still have?

I was moving some of my older, more interesting, computer equipment and decided to snap a picture of this one, a Rockwell AIM-65, which features a 1MHz 6502, 1K of memory (expandable to 4K), a 20-character LED display, and a built-in 2" wide printer.

That's the oldest computer I still have around; the more serious ones I used to use back in the 70's and early 80's I'd sold back when they were still worth something. (I probably still have some of the manuals at least for the Northstar Horizon and the Alpha Micro AM-100.)
 
I'm using a 450 mhz P3 with 512 mem and 2 HD's one 20 gig and the other a 40 and a CD burner 24x 10 x 40 AND a 3.5 in floppy running WIN 2kPRO
 
I've got a Tandy 1000 and a CompuAdd 286. Have no idea what I'm going to do with them. They're complete (monitor and all) and in mint condition, but totally fuc&1ng useless.
 
nothing like that , i had a 486-DX 100 for a long time, but i chucked it when we moved last march

my linux router is a celery 333 with 64 MB , that is my older running pc
 
An Apple IIc

Motorola 65C02 running at 1.4MHZ, 128Kb RAM, 32K ROM, Reolution: up to 560x192 monochrome
Have the additional external Floppy drive and a working Seikosha 9 pin printer for the first computer my family has ever owned.
 
My oldest is a AMD Duron 750 or 700, cant remember.
pc133 448MB of SDRAM on a MSI K7T Turbo R.
And a Leadtek GeForce 2 Ultra 64MB + 56k Modem 🙂
I think its been running problem free for 2-3 years.
A very reliable machine.
 
Custom built 386 with a 540mb hard drive, about 7mb of extended memory and whatever processor it was they got out of a crackerjack box...😛 It still runs Windows 3.11, with Internet Explorer 3.02 installed from spanned floppies (no CDROM drive), tweaked as far as it'll go by me... -kd5-
 
i dont think anybody (other than the op) can beat my 7mhz laptop, 640k of ram(enough for anyone, right?) , 10?" screen (600*280?) (b&w screen). its some aincent sharp laptop (but it has a standard floppy drive and runs dos). anybody know if I can attach the lcd to a serial port or usb port and make it display mbm5 temperatures/fan rpms/etc? cause that would be a really cool casemod, but I dont know how to do it. this laptop's so old that it uses a battery that looks like its from an rc car and it has no heatsinks!!!

ps: if you think you can help me out with controlling the lcd, i have the whitesheet with pinouts and signaling scheme. pm me

btw: the laptop still works!!!
 
Emachine... t1090 or something like that.
900MHz, 128MB RAM

It is VeggieFrog's and she won't let me throw it away... even though there are three other computers here that are all over 2GHz and 1GB RAM.

Commodore 64!

Works for the most part, but has some problems accessing the disk drives. I heard once that fast load carts would slowly kill a C64, would certainly explain a lot.
 
Oldest operational machine is an IBM PS/2 Model 9577. 80486 DX/2-66, 32MB (4x) 72pin SIMMs, 1.5 GB SCSI HDD, MCA bus. When new it was used as a fileserver.

Celery 300A (not overclocked). Alive and still kicking for my mom. It has an Abit BE-II6 (something like that). King back in the day. It also has a GeForce 1 256, and a Monster Sound MX400.
