There are three cases where I might be interested in acquiring a new machine:

1. My old machine no longer works.

2. I find something cool for cheap like an old Symbolics keyboard or a Xerox Dorado.

3. The power of the FREE MARKET creates something where the marginal benefit outweights the marginal cost. (e.g. I am looking forward to finally getting a display larger than my 30" DELL in a few years, also to a new chair cause this one is not very comfy)

The third being the most rare.

Please discuss physical machines, their acquisition, and such matters in this thread.

I bought a new machine with a latest-gen Intel CPU and a decent graphics card because I like simulation racing and I use a source-based distro.

Hopefully the Sepples committee won't propose some feature like metastandardtemplatebacktracking that will make compile times even fucking worse than they are already.
