Can Your Hardware Top 18 Years and Ten Months?

DesertNomad points out this article at The Register "about a fairly aged Pentium-based server that lasted 18+ years without much in the way of service.

I'm sure that there's plenty of boxes out there that have survived at least 18 years and that are in daily or constant use. The fans are always the tricky part! What's your best personal hardware-survival stories? I have some keyboards in active service that were made in 1984, and probabliy some of them go back well before that, but keyboards should last that long.
