our hp desktop - celeron 333mhz, was bought in 1999 (hehe, turn of the century).
stopped using it a few months ago since the HDD was attacked by ants..

still thinking of replacing the HDD so my nephews/neice can use it. other parts are still ok, cept for the monitor which i have to whack to lose the green tint.

Reminds me of my first CDROM drive. It was a creative labs 2x cdrom with "cd caddy" (not tray loaded) and it required to be connected to the included creative labs sound card and cdrom interface card.

You can buy a used HDD to minimize costs. 20gig HDDs are pretty cheap if you check out some of the online sites. 15 to 17inch monitors too.

hmm.. that's a good idea. I'll try TPC, but is it ok to buy a used HDD? anyways if the price is cheap enough i might try it.

Last I checked, 20gig seagate HDDs were P1,000 (neg) each.

In our current desktop PC (A64), the oldest part are the speakers: Altec Lansing ATP5 (4.1 channel). I guess it is around 5 years old already.

Though I still have other retaso parts lying around the house... like an vid cards, memory, floppy drives, busted monitor, etc. I've already parted ways with some of the older but still usable components like the CPU (Pentium MMX 200).

My dad is still using our old pc daily, p3-500mhz, asus p3b-f, 28.5gb hdd, xwave 3000 sound card - all working since november 1999. The altec lansing 45.1 speakers I use on my desktop.

I would suggest for the hard drive buy a new one with 2 year warranty 40gb - 2.2k.
