I'm going to come clean here. My computer is very old, to the point that I sometimes have a challenge even emulating PS1 games. I'm looking at upgrading to a newer laptop, or even maybe, shockingly, going back to a desktop. But all the desktops I have are salvage machines which I need to reformat and reset. My budget is basically 'near-zero', and I'm not usually opposed to being behind the times. Unfortunately, hardware prices haven't exactly been dropping lately, so I'm looking for hints from everyone here (since I figure we're all pretty thrifty). Where do you get your hardware? New, old, etc.?
