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

You mean something that I OWN and is assembled and in working order?

Oldest: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 3.3 GHz, 4GB DDR2 @ 800 MHz, Asus P5Q PRO motherboard, SeaSonic S12II 430W PSU, 2x1TB HDD, Gigabyte GT630 (GF108, 2GB DDR3) and some old case

Worst: Asus Eee 1215P netbook. Intel Atom N570, 2GB of DDR3, 32GB SSD (bottlenecked by SATA 1.5 Gbps).

Even worse? OK.... Apple iPad 2,1. Apple A5 SoC (2xARM Cortex A9 @ 1 GHz, 45nm), 512MB DDR2, PowerVR SGX543MP2 graphics, 16GB eMMC storage.

I've got a roughly 10 year old laptop in the basement. From what I remember it has a single core 1.8GHz processor, 512GB of RAM, and a 50GB hard drive. I loved that computer and it somehow still works (or at least it did the last time I tried to start it).

I have an old Compaq that have 1 512mb ram stick. The video card doesn't even have a fan on it. just a plain chip. Clueless on CPU or Video Card specs. It did have a HDD with nothing to show how much storage it had.

I've got an old Compaq machine back home that runs wonderfully when powered on. I'm not sure what the processor is, but it has a whopping 5GB HDD (considered more than anyone would need back in 1995 when the HDD was installed), runs Win95, has a HUGE 256MB of RAM, and sports a daughterboard housing the processor and AGP slot for a video adapter. It also has a 10/100 NIC for some insane networking capabilities. I plan on bringing it back here once I visit home again and repurposing it as either a router or a RADIUS server.

 

EDIT: The computer was manufactured almost exactly one year before I was born. It was the former server for the Chamber of Commerce for the town over from my hometown. Grandpa snagged it for me when they got their first upgrade back in 2011. The computer was in nearly 24/7/365 operation from the date of installation until the middle of 2010 when the new hardware was added.

I was watching scrapyard wars (for the second time) and I thought to myself "I wonder.... what the oldest part in my system?" I gave it about a second thought then I realized it was probably my Gigabyte GTX 650Ti 2gb. Well that's MY oldest part... Whats yours?
