I’m interested in this too. I don’t have my original old hardware. At one time I had a Dell Dimension 4100 which I obtained in 2001 and a Dell D600 laptop (I’ve used D610, D620, and maybe a D630 on occasion, but I didn’t own them myself; I either used them on the job or in fixing them up (usually with a custom antiX for someone having trouble with malfunctioning nineties or early 2000s versions of Windows). Like seaken64 I am interested in old stuff, partly for historical reasons and also because I occasionally pick up an old junker that still works with antiX!
I got rid of 32-bit systems I had that worked well with old systems – Gateway 2000 PA6A 17″ model and Lenovo 3000 series Y410; I was running out of systems other than in THIS family to run it. I have a Lenovo N22 Chromebook and a Dell Inspiron 5558; both are 3-5 years old.
I recently picked up three old systems, a rock solid Lenovo Thinkpad X201 and two HP systems, an HP Pavilion e5000 series desktop with a nice large 2000 series monitor and a 2610p laptop. All three work, but the 2610p laptop is starting to separate near the hinge so it’s “marginal” at this point.
