To be honest, the case is still the original one, but almost every other part has since been replaced. Now, I’ve taken it back to the shop where I bought it 20 years ago and asked them to upgrade the motherboard, CPU, and memory - the last of the original parts.

So, is it still the same computer?

I also like that I can just keep replacing parts on an existing product rather than buying an entirely new device each time. That’s exceedingly rare feature these days.

    I went full PC of Thesius within about 10 years, so kudos for sticking it out. And that includes the case and my vinyl stickers, but she still goes by GlaDOS and she’s still my computer.

    And yes, I never understand people too scared to upgrade their rig. I’ll happily teach anyone willing to learn, since it’s so easy lately.
