    I have a working 50mb HDD.
    I also have a 1x CDRom where you push it in and the entire thing ejects and you open the tray (I've been thinking of using this for a mod of some sort, but it still works and it's always hard to part with working components). I even still have the computer taht the CDRom came in (all still working)--P100 and all that jaz.

    I also have one of the old late 70s first hand-held games. It's space invaders made with red leds and takes 6 AA batteries (which only last abo9ut 8 hours). And its still in mint condition.

    I still have 1 or 2 5-1/4 floppy drives kicking around under my bed. I even still have some games/software for them.

    2 x 486 Motherboards both working with dx2 66 chips and lots of 30 pin ram (remeber hwn it was like £25 a strip for a 1 meg simm!!)
    Vesa Local Bus Graphics card (works!!)
    A numerous amount of assordted 256k 30 pin sims
    Pentium 75 motherboard
    Lots and lots and lotys of assorted EDO and FPM ram
    Intel P133 CPU (working)
    Intel 166 MMX (Working)
    3 100 meg hard drives (Working!)
    540 meg Segate HDD (I thikI killed it!)
    Cyrix M3 300 base unit (Working)
    3.2 gig HDD which I pulled out of a dead compaq Deskpro

    i got a 40MB, 2 x 500MB HDD's about 8-9 years old as well as assorted SIMMS again 8-9 years old.

    And a fully working 14" monitor (800*600 SVGA) 8-9 years done well considering the normal life is about 5 years for a monitor.

    Me too, complete with manual. That was a machine (slightly) ahead of it's time - a decent keyboard and a few ports, far better than the Spectrum I also had (still got the psu).

    Also got a 40Mb HDD (not in use ;) ), and I'm using a PC/AT keyboard bought in June '89

    I use to have an 8 inch floppy, wish I still had it. I'm sure I've got parts at least as old as 286.
    I had a 286 HD somewhere, probably RAM as well. A marvelous EGA adapter even :cooldude:. Some
    old 10mbit NE2000 cards. Atari 2600, TI-994A. Dungeons of Doom anyone?
