Sun Blade 2000 I'm actually planning to put an SSD in it, but my co-workers say it's a waste of money. That may be true, but it'll be the coolest Blade 2000 out there.
The oldest machine in constant use is a Pentium 4 3.2GHz from '04 which is making rainbow tables in our cluster (it is one of my old machines which was sat on a shelf, every little helps)
I wouldn't expect too many people here have old stuff because 1) it's a fairly young group and 2) startups get to start fresh. Of course there'll likely be a few exceptions, too, that might be interesting. edw519 probably has something that he has to feed paper tapes to regularly:-) ("Piqued my curiosity", BTW)
It was a PBX, supplied by a vendor, and therefore unable to be administered or upgraded by the client without voiding the warranty. Amusingly, the company I was at had only existed for about two years; which means that at least sometime in the past two years, there is a company selling a PBX appliance that runs on NT 4 (I don't even know how they can get a license for it).
Off topic; port scanning it was like trying to remove yourself from a landmine that you stepped on. It required action-movie dexterity.
It was the only machine remaining that could build the product (the others died or were upgraded by mistake over the years), and the replacement 32-bit product ended up being 5 years late.

If that doesn't count (and I see no reason why it shouldn't!) then the oldest is probably a server which I think is about 6 years old now.
