SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - What is your oldest running PC component?

After much thought and investigation I determined that the oldest still running component on my current PC are the speakers. They date back to 1997 and came with my Gateway computer that I bought at the time. The speakers are a 2.1 system that Gateway sourced from Boston Acoustics so they had good pedigree but are starting to show their age now. But for basic gaming they still get me by.

Thanks for the responses subsimmers. It has made for some interesting reading. It certainly is a change from the common topic question of "What are your latest blistering fast system specs or new build system?"
