That's how the used market is now. Now, all the old tech is super good, serviceable, and cheap. 5 seasons ago, you had to spend hours to find parts that were even close to good. One of Linus's Lenovo machines would've cost $200 for a 4th Gen i5 and everything but the GPU. Linus then bought a r9 390 for $100. He spent a total of $300 for a 4th Gen i5, r9 390, 8gb ram, and a boot ssd. That's a great price for a whole system. Season 3 didn't even include the price for a monitor, mouse, and keyboard.
