My large three-drawer desk was £10 from an auction - it's in perfectly good condition, it just came from the offices of a company which had gone bust. You can get all sorts of furniture very, very cheaply from auctions. My laser printer was free - it was salvaged from a building which was due to be demolished. Again, works perfectly. Even my laptop was cheaper than the Walmart one featured - Dell Latitude, £120 second-hand from a local computer fair and running Ubuntu. My wireless router was free with a 12-month ISP contract. In fact, what is the point of this article at all? Norton? MS Office? An iPhone, for goodness sake? Show me your $1,000 home office and I'll show you my sub-£200 one! The most expensive thing in this place is the radio.
