My PC is over 20 years old. I’ve only needed to replace the GPU twice, motherboard/ram twice, power supply once, and am on my third hard drive.

20 years, that’s a long time Dave.

Computer of Theseus 🤭.

I mean, I did something similar with my desktop, until it died because cats.

Urine, hair, or chewed through the wire zapping the fuck out of everything?

The first one. It was shortly before I neutered them 😅. And they aimed directly at the air vents. The GPU and MoBo went toast 🤣.

I lost a Sega Dreamcast that way, luckily I had just bought it a couple days before, so we de-stank it the best we could and exchanged it for a new one 🤣

Ah, the computer of Theseus. My 20year old server of Theseus only has the chassis left of original parts. And an unplugged floppy and DVD drive xD

That’s basically the story of my desktop too.

3rd PSU, 3rd motherboard and processor, 3rd graphics card, case fans, etc., but I still have the original dvd drive (which is unplugged). All in a BTX Antec P180 case I bought in 2007. The power button keeps falling out now, so it might be time to replace it too. But with the price of ram, it’ll be a straight parts swap.

See the trick is to never turn the computer off, to avoid wearing out the power button :}

That’s a sweet case though, maybe you can find a replacement power button

I need to care for my current machine like that. It is a fancy machine and I need to always be ready.
