1) My first self-built PC (a 486DX2). Opened the door to so many games, apps, emulators, operating systems, programming tools, internet, etc etc.
Open platform general purpose computing is underrated these days, imho.
2) Lately: solar panel on my boat. Electricity generation independent from power grid or fuel input, on the move, potentially anywhere in the world, one-time cost = set for years to come, is super to have. Even if sometimes it pumps out only a few W (but eg. enough to charge phone).
