3 1/2 years old.
A tad slow, but nothing an SSD upgrade wouldn't sort out.

Main rig is Sandy Bridge-based, which almost three years old tech, but the graphics card and storage are much newer. All coupled with a six year old 30"Dell.
The other machines in the house are all Core 2 Duo based.

My iMac is about 3.5 years old. Still does what I need it to do, fortunately.

Main desktop machine - a Mac mini - was bought around a year ago. My MBP is ancient - 2006, and no longer supported. It really needs replacing, but that’s for another time.

Early 2008 Mac Pro that I bought second hand. so I guess it's in the region of 4 - 5 years old.
I've doubled the RAM to 8GB and upgraded the graphics card. Might think about adding a SSD at some point and I'm holding off on upgrading to Mavericks until they've ironed out the kinks so 10.8.5 here.
I only replaced my old PowerMac G5 because it developed some sort of bizarre power supply issue where it wouldn't switch on unless you unplugged it for a few minutes then plugged back in (at which point it would be fine). I've got a beige G3 in its box upstairs although I have no idea if it would still turn on (it was only retired because it couldn't run OS X and System 9.2 was getting a bit tenuous in the support department).

5 months old and still going strong! (replaced a system built in 2007 *cough* from free bits hanging around the Custom PC labs)

Family desktop: 2002-3 Athlon XP2400 cpu, runs WinXP. Last few years it is used only by parents for basic web browsing.
My laptop: 2011 - PCS laptop that i bought for £2000. Think it has an i7 2720 processor. Ran my last games (dishonored and skyrim) at full settings IIRC.

My G5 is nearly ten years old now, looks like I'll be replacing it with a Mac Mini fairly soon as the new Mac Pro is way over spec and too expensive for me.

Over spec? No such thing...  Yeah, ok, the cost thing I get. Me? I'm on a mid-2010 iMac i3 3.2GHz. Yes, I want to upgrade, only because I think Lightroom could do with going faster.
