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

An entire IBM PC XT 5160 (I mean PC, monitor, keyboard and all) built sometime in either 1986 or 87. Also the Epson FX-86e printer that was bought with it. My dad bought it new about a year or 2 before I was born. And then I have random parts laying around of vintages ranging from 1995 and up.

 

Now if you wanna count other stuff, my NES is also older than me but I think slightly newer than the PC XT.

I still have a working Commodore 64. Its still hooked up too!

Although it hasn't been used since the Pac-Man floppy died. I don't have any uses for it besides that.

 

I also have a 5mb HDD no idea on the manufacturer though. That has faded though the years,

I have an old system lying around with a Pentium 4 and 512mb ram, so I'd say that's probably the oldest thing I have lying around.

Oldest thing in my main system is probably either my "TKO Computers" case from ~2004. Otherwise it's my 250GB WD Drive from ~2005. Oldest PC hardware that I just own is probably a 3x128MB set of RAM from the first PC I had. It isn't even DDR, it's from ~1995-1998. Don't know any of the exact years :P

Must be the HGST harddrive which I carried over from my broken 2007 MacBook pro. Unless the 80's stereo counts which is technically also part of that system.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.
