I've had the urge to buy/build a new computer lately, but absolutely not the need, so it's nice to live vicariously through other people's hardware purchases. I've actually idled and shut down 3 different superfluous PCs in the house over the course of the last year. Down to only the router and the server being powered 24/7. Not sure what I should do with the extra gear, part of me is like "sell it" but I hate dealing with strangers and there's a strong "you might need that some day" contingent in my head. Used to be that that spare computers didn't hang around long; there used to always be someone in my social circle who needed something, but between things getting cheaper, things getting "fast enough," and everybody having a smartphone, demand is way way down. These days my friends don't ask me for any of my PCs, they ask if I want to haul away their old ones.
