What's a piece of tech that you can't dare to sell or throw away?

[Meowster]

I'm just wondering if I'm the only one emotinally attatched to my tech sometimes. I'm curious if people have the same thing as me,

I have a Dell Studio 1555 laptop that I had since 2008. It has been through a lot with me (including my past 2 jobs too). I got it as a gift from my dad, at the time that machine was the hot stuff! It had a Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHz and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 which is notoriously known for failing. In this case, it has failed. I only keep it just becuase it went such a long way with me, I even used it for CNC machinery operation at one point. I'm emotionally attatched to it because of its quirky and odd design choices

 

Do you also have a story like mine? Please tell me

Not really tech, but I suppose my car (although its got an amp, new speakers, Android etc). It's done about 260k km so getting there. I've rewired most of the electrics and re-routed a lot of them. I don't think I could really sell it, just because another person might just mess it all up. I actually just get angry when it goes in for its WOF, because last time the guy couldn't figure out how to open the boot - needs a little encouragement.

I still have my old laptop, a Compaq Presario, with an Athlon XP-M 2400+. It's basically useless at this point, but it doesn't take up much room and it still works fine (except the battery).

I plan to continue using my X5650 and motherboard until it dies, and at that point I might frame it. Very special hardware to me.

 

 

Also my Focus 9000. Never selling this thing.

The phone of a dead loved one, probably.

All consoles before PS4 gen since you don't need to rely on internet.

I had a laptop (Dell XPS 15) that deployed with me and has seen some rough times. To try to keep it longer I replaced the keyboard, battery, bought more RAM, but eventually it was time to let it go. So I did what any reasonable person would do and completely disassembled it, kept the HDD unplugged in a 3.5'' drive cage in my desktop and have the lid with all the stickers it has collected on a shelf at my desk.

My PS2, DS and GBA.

any of my HDD or SSD

My old windows 7 machine (I5 2400,10GB ram 1TB HDD) it has about 10 years of memories.
