Keyboard Forever

My computer is a hybrid. I mean that in that I built it myself, for less than half the cost of a new one. I built it about 3 years ago, and apart from upgrading to 1GB of RAM and adding in a 500GB hard disk it has done me proud for those 3 years.
The case, motherboard, processor and TFT screen cost me less than £270 [about $530]. I didn’t need a hard drive as at the time I had an 80GB that was doing me fine.
Also what I didn’t need was a keyboard. Ahh, my trusty keyboard. I’m still using my keyboard from my first pc computer I purchased back in early 1998, from PC World [wash my mouth out for uttering PC World].
Yes they screwed me on the “computer warranty” I never used, but I’m still using the keyboard 10 years later. That may have negated the extra £150 [$300] they stung me for on the warranty I never really wanted, but got “pursuaded” into taking.
So, I think the last laugh is with me and my 10-year-old keyboard. I am extremely happy that my keyboard still lives on a decade after being chosen by me for my first pc computer.
Have you got any old parts still being used on your hybrid computer? If so, let me know.
