Mine is easily my Corsair 520W HX which I bought in October of 2007 (so 4 years, 4 months old now) and it's still running like a champ powering anything I have with ease! Never seen reason to upgrade it!

All in all great cooler for the money and has always worked reliably. Excellent for a backup cooling system or for low-cost budget computers, while still being able to overclock.

My RAM, Mobo and CPU were all bought at the same time last April I believe.

My case is over 6 years old, but I've modified it for airflow. It still serves me well as a small-sized mid-tower.
Â
My PSU and DVD+/-R are 4 years old, as are my monitors.
Â
Everything else in my PC is new as of November last year.

I got a modem card from 2003, and a used ATI TV Wonder Wonder 650 tuner card from a long time ago.
Outside, I have a weird S-PVA Sony SDM-X93, and some old harmon kardon speakers. All from 03, I believe.

IN my computer? My PSU, April 2011.
I do use Harman/Kardon speakers from 2002 or so, though.
