Anyone else buy useless hardware?
I've bought hundreds of dollars in pure bullshit I don't need over the years just to mess with them for a few days or weeks, then not touch it for months on end.
Stuff I can think of off the top of my head:
>Multiple laptops salvaged from dumps, bought used, etc to install Linux on
>3 iPods, all rockboxed
>iHome + radio
>Fiio X1
>Clip+ rockboxed
>2 cheap android phones, rooted
>Blue Yeti mic
>Chromecast
>"Smart" alarm clock
>RGB lighting, never used
>3 different watches
>over 20 watch straps
>For each of them
>2 PSP's with multiple (shit) batteries and games (2nd one didn't have a working screen
>GPD Win
>2 3DSes and a DSi
>10, I type again, TEN PDA's from across the years
I feel like I'm drowning in useless shit I don't need

I do this a little bit. I tend to buy stuff that's technically useful but I just don't need.
Most recent purchase is a 12" PowerBook G4. I don't really have a use for it, and despite its small size it's dense as fuck so it doesn't feel particularly portable. It works well though. I bought a 1GB stick of RAM and a new battery, then installed linux and it runs like new. The WiFi doesn't play nice with my modern router though, I'll have to buy a Linux-compatible USB adapter.

The thing with the /csg/fags is that they tend to buy items for $20 or less each. I frequently see hauls of multiple items for less than $10.
I'll spend $120 on a fucking music player because it looks cool, I'll fiddle with it, discover the OS is horribly slow, and just not use it for weeks.
It's looking at me right now, and I at it.
