The last PC I got was a hand me down my old boss gave me that he built for playing Flight Simulator. I think I had it for at least 10 years. It had Vista on it, but sometime in the last couple years I put Mint on it.
I used it originally to play World of Tanks until something broke on it, I think the wireless card, and I fixed that. After that it served as a media PC to stream things. Now it mostly collects dust as my phone is powerful enough for 90% of my computing, and anything more fancy I’ll use my work laptop or the wife’s PC we get like 4 years ago when she went back to college.
I also use an ancient Walmart grade HP laptop that takes like 5 minutes to boot and has no battery to play with synth and piano VSTs hooked up to my piano.
I’ve wanted a used PC for a bit, maybe a Mac Mini as I hear they’re better for audio, but I’ve never gotten around to it.
