Just wondering as computers are sorta my hobby and i like messing around with different ones. I havent in a while due to prices going up such as with ram usually. I dont mess with new tech, but i want to know what you guys do with the crazy prices out there? or are you already set before prices went up? Or are you just lucky in some form?

Just curious.

    i haven’t bought new hardwares for a long time. it’s mostly all older used items, sometimes even straight out of garbage bin.

    the newest machine i have is from 2021.

      Same, this race for performance it annoying. My $150 computer is a billion times faster than the one I had in the 90s, I can use it to program, work, and even play most Steam games.
