Which component in your desktop PC is the oldest?

 

[Sl8er]

One of the hard drives: Probably about 6 or 7 years old.

 

[PhireSide]

PSU (Corsair HX650W) and case (Cooler Master Storm Scout Mk. I), both purchased in May 2011

 

[DanDango]

PSU Huntkey 700w purchased in 2009.

 

[AlphaJohn]

Bought a PC back in 2011, think only the case and 1 x 500G HD are still original, rest has all been swapped out over time.

 

[Dan C]

Intel SSD

 

[supersunbird]

My case is very old, 2008 at least. Most other components are 2011.

 

[The Voice]

Hmmm, 2017?

Only built it in April

 

[Purply]

HDD for sure, think my 1TB is roughly 8 - 10 years old by now, if not older.

 

[Ancalagon]

Got a DVD writer from something like 2007.

 

[Fulcrum29]

Lol, my VideoMate Vista E900F. Still works like a charm. Oh, and a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 which I use additionally.

 

[Urist]

hdd from 11 years ago. temp replacement for broken ssd
Its very frustrating to watch/listen to windows boot on it.

 

[Compton_effect]

My motherboard. Bought it in 2009. Actually shopping around for a whole new media server now. Anyone know of a good deal on a barebones tower or microserver? I'll only be moving over the hard drives..

PSU: Huntkey 600W. Got it in 2012, was already a year old by that time.

 

[Neoprod]

A 3Tb hard drive...probably about 3 years old. Rest of the machine is a year old except for the 1070 which is half that.

 

[Fulcrum29]

PSU: Huntkey 600W. Got it in 2012, was already a year old by that time.

That reminds me, I still have a Corsair GS600 in my media pc.

 

[malstan]

My PC is a Pre 2000 Pentium 4 with a celeron processor. Quite scary. Still in use today for the odd word doc printing.

 

[Jimmy-Z]

Corsair HX850 PSU - roughly 5 years old

 

[agentrfr]

800W PSU circa 2009

That depends, to keep things fair I wont specify one of my retro desktops, my main desktop still uses a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 zs (from 2003) because to this day it beats the socks off of the internal soundcards, it also had a 700 watt raidmax from 2007, but that finnaly failed in march.

Rest of the PC is modorately up to date, 32gigs DDR3 ram and a LGA 1155 Xeon, Geforce 960.
