I did most of my work for a couple of years on an expensive gaming rig found out by the dumpster. The RAM had been removed but everything else was still there (including a hard drive with a bunch of porn and virus). Replaced the dirty drive, new RAM and it was far better than any machine I could justify buying at the time.
