Thank you for your service fellow e-waste reduction brother.
I've been getting my equipment 2nd-hand off of ebay. Recently "upgraded" to an HP fanless mini-pc (Core i5, 16GB) to make more room on my desk. Since Moore's law is practically dead, I didn't see the point in paying ~$800 for a new one when the 5-yr-old scratch-and-dent model was only $135, and any performance difference has been imperceptible under my use cases. I work mostly in the terminal anyway. The previous computer was also more than fast enough, and so was the one before it.
Only "game changer" for me has been the SSD. I will never go back to platters for an interactive machine.
I also have a really outstanding clicky-keys keyboard I picked up on alibaba a long time ago, and it disassembles easily enough for an occasional run through the dishwasher.
