My Monitor is from 2001. LCD. Still works fine. Everything else is from 2004, maybe the odd RAM upgrade and GPU for some time until I had to revert back to its standard IGP due to issues with Graphics cards.

Oh wait, my PC Sound system is also from 2001. Good stuff.

It can still run all the essentials. Why change.

I have a 1998 Nokia 15" LCD that's standing on top of my server. It gets used quite regularly, couldn't be happier with it. I also have a 1990 PS/2 with a 286 inside lying around.

And if it counts, I have a big fat power supply from some kind of truck computer-ish... something from the mid 70's lying around

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I have a calculator from the same era.

I still have an IBM 12" Amber CRT monitor... Too lazy to drop off at a recycling center.

A few years ago, I still had one of the first Compaq Portables with that 4" amber monitor. That portable was the size and weight of a mid-size desktop tower.

That's computer related?

I have a gameboy pocket, which is sort-of a computer (maybe not on x86 architecture but...)

Actual computer gear, I'd say an old cable modem from 2003.
