"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

There has to be people here that keep their computers until the bitter end. Doing whatever it takes to keep it running far beyond it's designed life span. I'm talking day-to-day surfing, email computer #1.
The computer that gets used the most.

My Enpower 660 aka MSI-PR600 laptop was bought new in 2/2006. It has proven to be very robust and trouble free. It gets regular maintenance to guard against dust and overheating. Still runs like a champ. I'm keeping it until it dies.

My specs are below in the proper place.

I have 2 IBM Intellistation Z Pro servers I use that were first put into service in May of 2003. They pretty much have run 24 hrs a day with very little downtime.

Other Info
Built my first computer (8Mhz 8088cpu, 640K RAM, 20MB HDD, 2 360K floppy drives) in 1985 and have been building them for myself, relatives and friends ever since.
I have several older computers, including my Commodore C64 and my Amiga A500.

But, although they do get run occasionally, none are in regular, day-to-day use.

My main machine is a 1 year old i7 laptop running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.

My four year old laptop (Core 2 Duo 2G) runs Windows 7 Ult. SP1 32-bit.

The oldest I have in regular use is my P4/2.8 desktop from around 2005 (running Vista Ult. 32-bit).

Wenda.

A top little machine that hasn't let me down once since the day I removed it from its packaging over four years ago. It's done everything I could want, and more, all without a single issue. 10/10, Acer!!
I still have my old non-working PC around, forgot the brand name, but it has a Pentium 4, 384 MB of RAM (256 and 128), Tornado GeForce2 MX, an unknown capacity hard drive, and Windows XP, it's not working :(, no POST, my monitor, keyboard, mouse doesn't work with the old one, I'm thinking of restoring it.
