My answer depends in part on exactly how you define "use regularly".
If by "use regularly" you mean utilize for direct user interaction with the machine, then that would be a Compaq laptop from 2006 with 768M of RAM and an AMD Sempron CPU.
If by "use regularly" mean "use to perform a task" then that would be a Supermicro dual Pentium-2 400Mhz system with 512M that acts as a PVR scheduler/recording driver. I've long since lost track of exactly when that motherboard was purchased, but it was somewhere in the 1998-2002 time frame. That puts it at somewhere between 11 and 15 years.
If you'd asked this question last year I could have answered an old PentiumPro box (with something like 128Meg or 256Meg of RAM) that a buddy from work gave me that was acting as an internet firewall. It likely hailed from the 1995-1996 time frame. But I retired it last year in favor of an old Pentium4 Thinkstation that I got from a local store in their "refurb" section. I have no idea of what year the Thinkstation hails from.
