I've got an Aureal Vortex 2 sound card, complete with A3D 2.0, from 1999.

And I'll be damned if I "upgrade" it until someone comes out with a sound card with a better 3d sound API. Sadly, I've been waiting six years.

 

[XMonkey]

Game Theater XP sound card.

 

[Turkeybased]

Intel P2 processor

 

[UtadaBarkley]

Probably my HDD.... it's time to upgrade. I've had the same old HDD to boot off of since 2000.

 

[Vlad]

It's gotta be the floppy drive from my first computer, a Packard Bell 75Mhz from '96.

I haven't used a floppy disk in years, yet it still would feel weird to me to have a computer without a floppy drive.

 

[B'z-chan]

2x sticks of 512mb PC 2100 ram

Audigy Platinum

10/100 card

all purchased in 2002

 

[demon]

I'm sure the NIC.

 

[Amakusa]

Intel P3 processor 1 ghz

 

[automagnus]

although its not in my computer, my speakers are from 1997. I have no idea what brand or model they are and i don't see it labeled anywhere.

 

[Outlaw]

my 20gig IBM HD..been kicking it since 2000 and still going strong

 

[teiresias]

My 21" Sony GDM500-PS is from '98 I believe, and my secondary computer still has a 20Gig IBM harddrive from '98 as well.

 

[Crow]

Oldest part in my computer is a 30gb 5200rpm HD, pretty poor considering my system is a athlon64 3400,videoCard rX800pro, 1gb pc3200 DDR memory

 

[BigJonsson]

GF 4 ti 4200

 

[ryuen]

tnt2

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

Probably my monitor, a simple Samsung "17. Been using it since 00'-ish; not looking for a new one just yet.

Nothing in the main box is older than summer '03, which is when I bought the Mobo, RAM, and the box itself. Most everything else has been replaced at least once since that time (including a certain infamous vid-card ), and a little more is in the mail right now.

Shout out ta Newegg.

 

[ElfoMan]

I also have a tnt2, bought my computer in 2000, so all the parts are the same age.. exept for the ram I added last year.

 

[GIR]

I'm on my third PC but I still have a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball HD from 1996 in it, the damn thing just wont die!

 

[StrikerObi]

The whole thing minus the extra RAM I threw in last month. It's an Apple Powerbook laptop, so it's not like I can really just go about swapping parts in and out.

 

[deadhorse32]

Speaker and floppy are from 1997

 

[segasonic]

Hauppauge Win TV PCI, 1998

 

[cvxfreak]

The USB cable that connects my printer to my Mac is from 2001. :lol

 

[spliced]

Floppy from 96, and even then it was used from my cousin. It's survived 2 computer upgrades so far.

 

[Kseutron]

HDD : IBM 120 gigs

damn 120 gigs was so huge a few years ago...

 

[Blimblim]

That would be the floppy disk drive, still the first one I ever had. About 15 years old I'd say.

 

[Jonnyram]

C:\

 

[MrPing1000]

4x dvd drive thats like 6 years old

 

[Vormund]

Floppy from 96,

yeah. I want to ditch the bloody thing, but I need it to install XP on my SATA drive

 

[aoi tsuki]

I'm sure the NIC.

Probably the same here, seeing as how i got it on eBay used. The Linksys cards they give you with Earthlink DSL are horrible for Bittorrent.

Before that, it was my 3DFX Voodoo 4500 card, acquired for a penny back in 1998/1999.

 

[golem]

probably my 29160 scsi controller..

 

[6.8]

All of them? I'm using an old laptop. :{

 

[Tarazet]

Both of my computers date from 2003, and my monitor is newer than that, so everything is pretty new. It's not really up to date though, it's a really old motherboard design (ECD K7SOM+) and bottom-drawer processor (AMD Athlon XP 2200+ 1.8Ghz, which is now called Sempron).

 

[Shompola]

My Seagate 2gig HDD from 1996 that still works just fine.

 

[Lakitu]

HDD : IBM 120 gigs

damn 120 gigs was so huge a few years ago...

... Here I am living it up with the 60gb hard drive in my new laptop.

 

[SpoonyBard]

My floppy drive. mouse pad and monitor are all from 97 or 98.

 

[CurlySaysX]

CDR-RW

 

[Diablos]

Umm...

The motherboard, CPU, and floppy drive. Everything else has been replaced.

 

[Crispy]

My motherboard and soundcard, they're from 1998. I run a Taulatin@1600 mhz on the mainboard though, so it's still pretty competent for today's standards.

 

[iapetus]

As of now: floppy and NIC are pre-2000, and most of the rest of it is the best part of four-five years old.

As of this coming Saturday: all the same age, all new.

 

[Finaika]

All of them coz I'm using a P2 300MHz I bought in late '97.

Well except for the whopping 20Gig HDD and a Sony Mini Hi-Fi I use as the speakers...

 

[Citainus]

Voodoo 3.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

The case (not including power supply) is at least 3 years old. That beats out everything inside.

 

[Cauliflower of Love]

1998 Dual PIIs .

 

[gblues]

Geforce 2 Ti, from 1998-99 or so.

Nathan

 

[Sledn]

My floppy drive is from an old 386. It still works fine even though I use it MAYBE once a month.

 

[MoxManiac]

Probably my HDD. 45GB IBM Deskstar from 1999-2000 or so. It's been in three different builds to get to this point. 2nd runner up is probably my SB Live! sound card.

 

[Evenball]

My PC has a floppy drive from my original 486 which I bought in 1994.

 

[Diablos]

My PC has a floppy drive from my original 486 which I bought in 1994.

::shrug:: They aren't any different.

I ripped apart a relative's old P1 system. He has a floppy drive that looks exactly like the one I have in my comp.

 

[Sjoerd]

Probably an Sblive gold card in my second pc. I got it when it first came out, very expensive back then but hey it still works and has fancy gold connectors and a magical thing called a gameport.

I remember playing unreal 1 connected to two stereo receivers in surround sound while using the tv-out on my canopus pure3d 6mb voodoo1 card. PC gaming was so much better when it was still for nerds only...
