Hi /g/ so I've decided today to buy this piece of shit that cost me 50p to fuck around with. probably will end up using as a prop. But basically I want to know what tech has g/g bought inexpensively for very little reason.
95% of /g/ owns a thinkpad for no reason

I bought some PS2 controllers to use with some cheap adapters. They were so busted I ended up tossing them.

Should have a bought a Pentium D instead. It's shit but at least it works for something.

one of those rare cases, when all of that tinfoil was justified
make an airgapped encryption server
I bought a Power Mac G4 from the goodwill for $30. Pretty fun to mess around with, and once I'm done I'll probably use the case for a build.
I bought a top spec powerbook g4, put a Intel msata ssd in it, and a new battery.
I put Linux on it and dicked around with it for a couple weeks.
It now lives on the floor of my office under my desk

It is very usable for anything except the Internet. I could never find a browser that didn't choke from the lack of hardware acceleration.
I don't really have experience with pent 4 laptops.

paid like $20 total for this XPS M170, the LEDs and housefire GPU really appeal to my inner manchild

did you try 10.4+tenfourfox? DDR systems should be tolerable for anything but webapps, even if G4 tech was a little long in the teeth
honestly I'd love a good G4 powerbook just for handling archives and shit for other macs, too many other projects needing money to justify blowing my load on one though, even though they aren't that expensive yet
