Had a Dell Dimension from maybe 2004 to 2014. Replaced when MS stopped supporting XP. XP was the best.

Got a desktop I built in 2008 for around $1k. Upgraded HDD to solid state a few years ago, upgraded video card to a GTX-1060 a few years before that. Still going strong and still fast enough for the games and apps I use. Had a HDD go out in the first couple years I owned it but no other problems yet

ASUS motherboard
WD HDDs
EVGA video card
Gskill RAM

I had an iMac that ran from 2011 until 2020. Still would be using it, but the video card fried and I couldn’t get it replaced.

I've got a Compaq laptop from 2007 or 2008, it still worked last time I tried. But the real reason I am here is to post the pic below, I actually used one of these at school in the 80's.

Grandparents still have a Gateway 2000 from around 1998 that works great! It’s incredible really.

I know in our office anything that works past the 5 year mark is remarkable. We replace them at five years.

The custom built PC I am writing this post on was originally built in 2012. That said, I did replace the video card and hard drive.

I just built my new gaming PC a few weeks ago. Before that, I was still using the gaming rig that I built in 2011 (i7-2600K). I did upgrades over the years (ssd, memory, graphics cards) and it held up pretty well. So I got 11 years out of it.

Not a desktop but I have a 2010 MacBook that still runs like a champ. However, it now acts only as my plex server. Still has the dvd player in it.
