This is kind of a mish mash. The two motherboards I literally just found, and the P3B-F was my "first" motherboard and I really cut my teeth on that when I was 14 (36 now 🤣) but I had a tualatin and a slocket then and I paid $20 for the whole setup 🤣
The CRT I paid $60 and it is perfect. But the period desk was free, the peripherals were leftovers (The intellimouse was bought at Value Village...)
The little MATX cube system was partially free partially paid for (5tb worth of free hard drives, free ddr4, retired 5600g, free GTX 1080, PSU, case) and it runs our homeserver stuff. I paid $20 for the motherboard and $20 for a CPU cooler.
The XP machine itself was 100% free. Facebook marketplace find, A64 3200+ @ 2.55ghz, 2gb of OCZ EL Platinum PC3200, modern psu (Free) and a GTX 760 and the watercooling is entirely spare parts and was also entirely free. Never crosses 60.
The loose board beside the mouse is an N64 board we found in the bags at value village and it works.
