Do you ever go to thrift stores and find old technology and restore them till they look new?
I like doing this for keyboards, calculators, clocks, or game consoles. It's relaxing and it's interesting to understand how these devices work in the process. And it feels really good to see what was horribly dirty with a bunch of smega between the keys turn into a brand new looking keyboard.
>Pic related, I don't know why but the ergo Microsoft keyboards interest me.

I've considered on getting a 90s shitbox and putting in high end components in it for the shits and giggles.

I wish. I live in a tiny town and the only thrift place here carries nothing but old people clothes.
I don't do it myself but godspeed to you and those that do it because I love looking at the end result
No, I'm not too keen on bed bugs and other parasites.

The turntable, tapedeck, and reciever were all lucky finds at a Goodwill. I think it turned out nicely.
I now use a Technics SL-1200M3D as my turntable. Which is a lot better.

eeewww
I have an Aiwa shelf system that works great. Neither the keyboard or system are thrift store finds, though. I bought the keyboard and got the system new for Christmas. I have a backup keyboard I got from Goodwill for $3, though.
