Fun fact: a friend of mine has an old computer he intended to use for gaming,
but since it can no longer cope with new games, he decided to install Linux on
it and a bunch of retro emulators. He is having a blast playing old games from
the 90s and beyond.

I think paying more than 1000 bucks for a computer you don't intend to use for
production is hard to justify.
