I never bought a computer new the last few years except for kids laptops for college for the sake of the warranty - got a used 32GB i7-6700 game PC with a RX580 GPU when we switched to WFH during Covid.
My home server/NAS is a refurb Dell.
Now freelancing so my current laptop is my daughters old Thinkpad E-450 (also bought as a refurb) - one CTRL keytop is missing and it has a corner crack , just added more memory and a SSD.
Got a Xeon E3-1220 board and CPU for free as backup just in case the i7 dies.
