I had no idea that disposable computing was so popular here. I guess I’m out of touch.

I've been doing that of late in my k8s cluster, in part because Ceph
needs a lot of RAM, and memory is one of the most expensive components
of a new computer these days.  In used computers, it is practically
free.  Getting some old corporate desktop with 32GB of RAM for $125 or
whatever is very easy.  Or if I need more PCIe I can usually get an
older workstation for $200 (main issue there is higher power draw, but
they have tons of lanes and RAM channels - just look out for whether
the motherboard supports bifurcation).

I do tend to build newer PCs for gaming though.
