So it hit me today that I purchased my computer back in sep-oct of 2006. The computer is still running strong as ever!

With a few upgrades. Ram, Hard Drive, Graphics card I have no reason to upgrade to a new computer any time soon.

So I was wonder. Who here is using (still) the oldest computer?

It has to still be running, and would prefer it still be in use in your home/office. :thumb:

My new one is from November 25th last year, my old one is from February 2007. My old eMachine is sitting in a box 5 feet away and I have a really old P3 600mhz PC somewhere in the garage.

uhm, i have a few machines running here, parts move around all the time, so its hard to say what the newest is. my current main rig i've been using for a couple months, but its nothing really new

the oldest working system i have here is sporting an asus tx-97 mobo, k6-2 @ 390~, 256mb ram, 2x voodoo 2's, sound blaster 16 isa, and a pci ati rage i think

I kept on upgrading my PC, that none of it's parts are that old..........

THE CASING! My CM Stacker, i bought it back in 2005, so it's 4 years old ;)

Just had a 1000W PSU upgrade, along with the new Kingston HyperX T1 series RAM upgrades :p

Owh, i almost forgot, my old laptop, the Dell Inspiron 600m still runs strong. Bought it back in what, 2004?
My sister used it all the time........... :fighty:

Ok, this particular HW?, and all together in one case?, about 3 months. And that's a record.
