Sadly we've thrown away/ sold any older computers and parts. I kind of wish I kept something from my family's first computer.

I think I have some cables and stuff that are from extremely old computers though.

I don't own this one, but we had a bit of an odd customer come in wanting us to remove some RAM from what I can only remember as a Dell laptop with Windows 3.1 for work groups and he wanted the RAM in his brand new laptop to give it a boost... The hardest thing was trying to keep a straight face! The oldest thing I own is an Asus motherboard with dual Xeon processors at 3.01GHz I think.

 

We've also had a customer bring his Windows 98 PC into us which he claimed was a seriously powerful machine and was offended when we said we cant upgrade the RAM on it or speed it up because it was simply ''maxed out'' 

Intel Core I5-3570K @ 4.4GHz, AMD Radeon HD6950, Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe motherboard, 8GB DDR3 Corsair RAM, Corsair H100, 60GB Agility3 OS drive + 1TB WD Blue drive. 

I use this rig mainly for facebook and emails. Pointless effort to be honest!

I'm not sure which is older. My dads old compaq laptop or our old Gateway. The Gateway is running Windows ME, an Intel Celeron 333 MHz, 4 x 64 mb RAM, 40gb HDD, and a random old nvidia card.
