This is hard to be cool and suave while being informative at the same time. Goddamn my coolness.
In my experience, common sense isn't too common.

The noctua 120mm fans that were from my wife's 2008 build, a build that was abandoned after a guinea pig she was pet sitting peed down the top vent...

Probably a DVD burner and storage hard drives. I can't remember how old they are, but have to be over 6 years old.

Most everything I have is 3 years old except my GPU and SSD which I upgraded last year.

I wasn't there when it happened. There has been no more pet sitting since then.

Do accessories count? I've had my mouse for about 6-7 years. It'll be replaced really, really soon though. Been eying some of those multibutton mice for awhile. Could use one for Dota 2. ;)

Rocking a 512MB ATI HD 4870.

It's finally starting to show its age though.
