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

Atari 7800.

That reminds of a time I got mad at a kid in some online game for saying something like:

'OMG how can you have an Atari? You're either 80 years old or just lying'.

Dumb waste of sperm.

Linus is my fetish.

My mom's hoard of antique sewing machines (some are from the 20s). If those don't count, then either my mom's Packard Bell Legend IV or my dad's Apple II clone. We also have several 5 1/2" floppies.

 

As for what I personally own, I bought some really old calculators at an estate sale about a year ago. One has the bubble display, and the other is an old Sears calculator that doesn't work even when I plug it in.

Nvidia Geforce 2 agp card.

Along with the system its in, but god forbid I remember whats all in there.

 

Oh, also a second gen macintosh, but I forget what year it was made, so meh.

 

If not talking about computer stuff, then probaby the 1950's Nutone speaker system/radio in my house, or my '67 Impala.

"Normandy" i7 4790K - GTX 970 - Phantom 410 (Gun metal) - Z97 Extreme4 (asrock) - 128GB Crucial SSD - 1TB WD HDD - H60 Refurb. - 7 case fans | G710+ Keyboard, G230 Headset, Acer GN246HL Monitor.

Quick thoughts on system: I7 is extremely quick and I'm glad I spent the extra for hyper-threading. I regret my decision to get the GTX 970, it has horrible coil whine. There isn't any excuse for this terrible whine I and others are having. I HIGHLY recommend a 144hz monitor. Future Improvements/upgrades: Rubber fan mounts, basic speakers, more ram (for a total of 16gb), replace GPU.

144hz is love. 144hz is life. I like to submit unfinished posts then do about 20 edits. I like the Night Theme too.

mmmh don't know if it qualifies as "tech" but some old interactive toy called "Merlin -The Electric Wizard".  Basically a Bopit like thing with six games, the box says it was made in 1979.

An HP 200LX. The processor in that thing was the first time Intel proved that x86 could be power efficient, and how efficient it was was terrifyingly awesome. 40 hours on 2 AA batteries.

My father fished one of those out of storage not too long ago. I haven't gotten around to figuring it out yet, but it's awesome to see someone with one here.
