Very interesting topic!
I started building computers at a very young age, and retained a few parts over the years, because of sentimental reasons. They got me through some rough times during my childhood, and offered a gateway into a more peaceful world!
Computer parts I still own AND still work:
- Pentium II - 80523PY400512 (400 MHZ)
- GeForce FX 5200
- GeForce 6200
- GeForce 2
- GeForce 9600 GT
- Voodoo 3
- Voodoo Banshee
There are 3 specific phones I still have, which I refuse to part with:
- Nokia N70 M -The N Series were just plain legendary phones
- OG Nokia NGage - The "Taco" phone which is something of a collectors' these days
- Nexus 4 - DAT GLASS BACK!

I got my DVDs from stalls that would stash them under wooden boards. Have some 100 odd ones. Ah....collegeAbout 50 dvds having naughty america contents written. Downloaded for days with dial up connection. Antique in their own rights.
Now visit a church and give your confessions..My mother thought I was a huge movie fan
Although back then it was considered quite high quality, I mean 360p/480p etc. That and thanks to LG CRT monitors with 1024*768 res making the videos look awesome.Same here..in 40-50dvds and cds contains ahem stuff incl. earlier days so called high res pics measuring in kbs in 1024 res and torrents and p2p downloaded stuff.

It will always remind me of those low-speed struggles and old time fun!
Correct! I think everyone owned that LG crts. Awesome gaming graphics and a great monitor within 4-5k budget.Although back then it was considered quite high quality, I mean 360p/480p etc. That and thanks to LG CRT monitors with 1024*768 res making the videos look awesome.
True!Honestly, even keeping the emotions apart, I would prefer those days over present with the never ending demands despite having so much.
Just clean them and store safely in a plcae where they are unlikely to be disturbed. Make sure to unwrap them once a year or so, expose to air like keeping them open in your house for a day or two and back again repack!Anyway, some true antiques obviously as others have mentioned are some record players, air cooler sized radios and whatnot. All these from grandfathers or fathers gen. Never paid much attention behind them and I fear they will waste away. I am POS not knowing how to take care of old stuffs.
The 128GB SSD must have cost a fortune at the time.Let the pics do the talking! Will try to post my favourite item the ZX Spectrum later ASAP.
See what all you can recognise or identify lol.
