The longest you've ever used a single system?

I'd take one just to have it.

I'll work it out with you then. The "Royal" image also has 3Ware drivers (up to the 9650?) slipped as well (and maybe a fakeraid driver too?) since back then, that's what I was using them with (9500 and 9550 cards in particular) and futzing with flash drives got old.

My wife's last Desktop was an MDG (Clone) with an Intel 775 P4 motherboard and a very slow Celeron FSB400 one-core CPU. This was bought in 2005 I think. It was in use til about 2013, when she got a Dell Laptop. I still have the case which has a Windows Media Center Edition 2005 Sticker on it.

I took the Intel motherboard out and put into an old black metal mini-tower Dell case which had a Socket 478 Dell motherboard that had died. I added the fastest socket 775 P4HT CPU I could find. This board would not take Core2. I gave this machine, keyboard and Monitor to a friend whose mom needed a computer. Last time I heard it was still working.

I'm using the MDG case with a CORE 2 8400 on an Intel DG33FB motherboard right now!

I'm typing this from my main PC which is a 2009 Athlon/AMD770 build.

It's kinda the PC of Theseus by now with a only the motherboard, Case, and CPU cooler surviving from the original build. But it does everything I need it to just fine.
