So what is the oldest part of your pc?

My oldest part is my CPU cooler, bought it in late 2003/ early 2004

It runs my over-clocked CPU at about 3-5 degrees over ambient temperature at idle, and goes up about 15-20 degrees when on load with ALL 6 cores, but it never uses them all so it normally just increases by 10-15 degrees.

Post away!!!

As far as I know, my motherboard and one of my hard drives were bought in 2001.

I'd have to say the oldest running part I had was one of the first SATA WD 10,000 rpm drives dated 03. Was finally upgraded last weekend. For its time it was awesome!! and has never missed a beat all these years.

A 200GB PATA IDE drive by about 2 years. The rest is 3 years old now - yet its still better than some of the midrange PCs on the market.

The oldest thing connected to my computer is my 24" Dell ultrasharp, everything else is brand new and probably not even 8 months old yet. I don't bother upgrading. My last PC was good for 3 years, and I foresee this new one lasting at least that long (with a likely GPU upgrade when the next gen is released). At the 3 year point you may as well just buy new everything. I've got 2 full systems sitting out in storage, neither are worth >$200 and none of the parts are worth salvaging (400GB HDDs, old GPU, old RAM). I'm much lazier these days.

If anyone wants to buy my old systems I can post specs for you. You'd be getting a pretty wild deal.
