LOL What hardware golden oldies are you still using?

So I'd completely forgotten that i still had a 36gb 10k raptor drive in my PC from roughly 10 years ago when I first bought it. The thing still works good as gold even now. But it's time for the skip because I don't want the extra heat and power consumption in my case. Or the weight. Jeez these drives weigh much more than any of my others!

Pretty sure I should be ashamed of still having it lol. Who else is still using ancient hardware. Own up

 

My wife.

She's from the seventies.

 

My bicycle, it's older than me. A Batavus Bato from 1984-ish.

 

I have a bed/mattress that is ~ 20 years old; it's as stained with blood, sweat and other bodily fluids as you might not wish to imagine. I really need a new one...

 

Just flip it, good for another 20 :/

 

Grandfathers service lighter and pocket knife, both from the late 30's

 

A 1940s [iirc] tin opener - one [well actually i have 2] like this:

 

Me, I'm from the sixties.

 

I guess the oldest bit of tech I have is my Yamaha DSPA5 AV receiver. I keep looking for a reason to replace it too, but can't find a justifiable one when it still works and still sounds good.

 

Athlon Tbird with 1gb ram and 3Dlabs Wildcat VP. Got a Sidewinder FFB wheel and pad too

 

A heavily modified Marantz CD63 KI - 99.9% of what I listen to is streamed these days, but sometimes I spin up a disc just for funsies. It's still a cracking player, especially with all of the upgrades I've bestowed upon it over the years.

 

My Model M keyboards; one from 1989 and one from 1991.

 

Mine, like me, is from the sixties, still going strong if a little slower than she used to be, maybe she needs defragging?

Me too...

Back on topic, my Logitech Soundman X1 2.1 speakers were purchased new circa 1999-ish, still going strong in daily use on/under my desk. I can't seem to break them no matter how much I kick and drop them.

 

Oldest item I own: a catholic song book from the early 20th century (1907 or 1917, not sure). It was my grandfather's.

Back on topic: a still fully functioning Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.6 GHz with a 8800 GTS, somewhere in the cellar.

 

Probably The watchguard Firebox in my network rack. Most of the rest is fairly recent now.

 

I know this doesn't count and it's not actually in use but I have a BFG Ageia PhysX card sat in a draw, doubt it would play well with an Nvidia card though.

 

I have a Sidewinder FFB Joystick....last I tried it still works. Under Win7 at least

 

Maxtor 200Gb from 2004.

Been running pretty much 24/7 for at least 12 years now.

Will probs be dead when I get home now I've posted this.
