Nothing yet, but i've recently started checking out the thrift stores myself.

 

right now i am looking for a CRT tv that has component inputs to use for retro gaming.

 

Salvation Army had a really nice trinitron for $20 that is rated pretty high by retro gamers, but i passed on it because it weighs 200 lbs.  

 

that reminds me i need to start hitting the flea market too.

In the UK we have Cash Generator stores in downtown areas.  About a year ago I found one of these:

Details about Technics Sound System SL-DV250 <---This is not mine.  Image pinched from Google.

 

£80.  I snapped their hand off, still working and sounding amazing while attached to my PC via aux from the Amp to the 3.5mm socket on the onboard sound.

 

 

PC - NZXT H510 Elite, Ryzen 5600, 16GB DDR3200 2x8GB, EVGA 3070 FTW3 Ultra, Asus VG278HQ 165hz,

 

Mac - 1.4ghz i5, 4GB DDR3 1600mhz, Intel HD 5000.  x2

 

Endlessly wishing for a BBQ in space.

Once I went to some Goodwill outlet stores with my family, and found an old mac from 1993. It still turns on, but we don't have a monitor with a compatible cable, so it's just been sitting in my room, so I don't know if it can actually do anything. xD

Why is the God of Hyperdeath SO...DARN...CUTE!?

 

Also, if anyone has their mind corrupted by an anthropomorphic black latex bat, please let me know. I would like to join you.

Many, many monitors! 1280x1024, 1366x768, 1440x900 and 1600x900. Prices are 8-20$. Though one time at a grand opening I scored a 28 inch Dell that's 1920x1200 iirc for 25 bucks! It has every kind of port you could possibly imagine. At that grand opening I also scored a SNES for 10$, four Xbox 360 wireless controllers for 10$ and a lot of other great stuff. I've also found many Nintendo games and many consoles. Recently I scored a DSi XL for 12$ that works 100% and is in great condition.

 

While you can find all this amazing stuff, most of the time there's nothing. It takes lots of patience. xD

i7 2600k @ 5GHz 1.49v - EVGA GTX 1070 ACX 3.0 - 16GB DDR3 2000MHz Corsair Vengence

Asus p8z77-v lk - 480GB Samsung 870 EVO w/ W10 LTSC - 2x1TB HDD storage - 240GB SATA SSD w/ W7 - EVGA 650w 80+G G2

3x 1080p 60hz Viewsonic LCDs, 1 glorious Dell CRT running at anywhere from 60hz to 120hz

Model M w/ Soarer's adapter - Logitch g502 - Audio-Techinca M20X - Cambridge SoundWorks speakers w/ woofer
