What's the Oldest Hardware in Your System right now?

- Xbox 360 controller (from 2004 not the fatty one that came with the first launch of xbox 360). It's amazing how this actually held up until now. Mind you it's the USB model.

- My current 2.1 Altec Lansing sound setup from 2007. Still sounds incredible and don't intend to change them anytime soon. Too bad Altec went bankrupt and was bought by some Indie company. It's not the first time this has happened to them and just by reading their history you can see how bad management can lead to terrible consequences regardless the quality you invest in your products.

 

I could have added older stuff, such as an original IBM external floppy disk reader, but I can't say I am using it now on a daily basis. This thing is rock solid.  :D

I have a 6 year old 320GB HDD still alive in my rig. Other than that I don't have anything too old.

Either the case or keyboard. Both from the mid 80's. Still finishing up the monitor which uses an iPad 3 display with an adapter to displayport. Have had this case through three different builds, starting with an i7 930, and now currently with an i7 4930k. The case was originally from a broken IBM 5150.

I guess the various elements that are in my laptop, because all of them must have been organic resources in our planet earth for who knows how long, so yeah.

 

I mean some parts from your laptop could be as old as earth herself! 

Lame Joke, I know

My build: tis be ordered

20 year old IBM Model M keyboard from 94. Still looks brand new, no real yellowing to speak of. You can pry it from my cold dead hands.
