What is the oldest part of your computer right now?

Post by MrBlah » Tue Aug 06, 2013 2:49 pm

Not counting the case.

I've got a 6 year old 1KW PSU, DVD drive, and water cooling radiator/reservoir.

My motherboard is 7 years old. I have older harddrives but can't remember the ages.

M2N32-SLI Deluxe has been a beastly motherboard.

I don't remember the age of my hard drives. I know I removed one that would be nearer 8 years old by now. But that was 3 years ago.

My case is from late 2005.
I am not sure if any internal component is older than the backup hard drive that is probably from 2006 or 2007 when it was the primary of an previous incarnation of the computer in this case.
Most of the other components were changed over during 2009-2011. Nothing in there is newer than 2011.

I've been using my current keyboard since 2003. It's gotten a fair amount dust and crumbs under the keys, but it's still functioning just fine.

The PSU is from 2007. Everything else is from 2009, except for 2 SSDs from 2012.

Monitor is pushing 5. One of my HDs is probably around 4ish? Speakers are around 8.

I think it's my computer's DVD-R drive, which was a freebie from my brother while I was building it just so I could have a disk drive. If that's not it, the video card is probably the oldest piece, being an Nvidia GeForce GTX 460.

Everything else was brand new out of the box, from about six months ago.
