My Monochrome 8MHz IBM AT has lasted 32 years.

Of course I've upgraded/replaced the hard drive(s) a dozen or so
times, the mother board a half dozen times, the case 4 or 5 times, the
power supply a half-dozen times, the video card 3-4 times, and the
monitor 4 times.  It's also been through a half-dozen or so different
brands of Linux starting with Yggdrasil in 1992. [Before that it ran
the Mark Williams Coherent v7 Unix clone.]

The original keyboard is still going strong!
