Does it count if it's old and new at the same time? I needed a legacy system for a specific case requiring an AGP slot and at least a P4 HT processor. There wasn't anything used in my area that met this requirement for sale, and to my surprise ASRock still manufactures an LGA775 board, so I ended up building something! So although it's only a few months old - the "oldest" system I run is a Core 2 Duo, 2GB of DDR RAM, and a 250gb HDD running Windows XP Pro. Still can't believe I was able to buy all of these components brand new in 2017..

Amazon! When I went to place the order I had actually just assumed it was used (especially for the price), but when I went back and double checked my order the listing was for a new OEM chip. Sure enough when it arrived, no signs of use at all. They could just be really good at cleaning and packaging, but I'll choose to believe I'm using a brand new Core 2 Duo 9_9.

Oldest thing is probably my G2 or my storage (850 Pro and 2tb barracuda), my gpu and cooling are from 2016 and everything else is 2017.

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious
