I cant actually remember the motherboards or hard drives but ive had a ton of those my original hard drive was a 400mb maxtor that I bought for my amiga 1200 (3.5" with cutouts) and transferred to my first PC- this drive is in the cupboard and does work still. Ironically monitors have been very limited, started with a 15" CRT, 17" CRT, 19" TFT, 24" TFT that I have today.

Can you tell ive been cleaning out all those old boxes of junk? I still had a fecking TSseng labs ISA card (256Kb ram onboard. Yes thats kilobytes).

Being much younger, my list isn't that big (and I have no first-hand experience of Tseng cards lol):

CPUs:
486 DX2-66
P200
P4 3.0Ghz HT (Northwood) - in a desktop still running Windows 7 to this day
Core 2 Duo T9300
Athlon II X3 - sits in my server, 45W model
Core i5 2500K - the desktop
E-350 - in a Thinkpad

GPUs:
S3 Virge
GeForce MX 440
GeForce FX 5500 - still running in the desktop to this day
GeForce 8600M GT
GeForce GTX 560 Ti - in my desktop
E-350 (yes, this counts as a GPU as it can play Portal 2 just fine!)

Monitors do last quite a while though - I've had a 14" CRT, 15" CRT, 15" LCD and two 22" LCDs. All the LCDs are in active use.
New Desktop: Core i5 2500K @ 4.6Ghz | Asus P8P67-M Pro | 8GB Corsair Vengeance | CM Hyper 212 Plus | KFA2 GTX 560 Ti | 128GB Crucial C300 + 1TB Samsung F3 | CM Silent Pro Gold 600W | Silverstone FT03-B | Samsung XL2270HD | Windows 7 x64 SP1
