My daily driver is an old crappy Intel NUC i5. Fired up Left 4 Dead, runs tight.
7 years ago I was buying PCs from eBay vendors who recycled off-lease business computers. Cheap as hell, worked fine for office tasks.
Last company was still in the mode of, “3 years old!”. As the sysadmin I as totally confused as to what to buy. Everything was either too old or too pricey. FFS, we’re writing software, it doesn’t have to be a top-line gaming computer!
LOL, got shot down on a purchase because the ad had the word “gaming” in it. “That doesn’t matter! The specs vs. price are bangin’!” Nope.
