As a Technology Enjoyer, I've used a variety of systems over the years. Here's all the ones that were considered mine.

Primary Computrons

Still a fantastic machine, but one I no longer have a use for. Might try converting it into an ad/malware-blocking DNS resolver.

After 10 years of dedicated service, this aging warship has been moved to the home office, where it now serves as a dedicated video editing station.

"PC5023" (Lenovo ThinkCentre M93P SFF)
Made 12014-03

Radeon HD 7770 1GB

Due to "using PC5014 with the door closed raises my room's temperature by 10° in the middle of summer in Texas" reasons, it has been replaced with something similarly-specced but lower-wattage.
