I've been buying up old Thinkpads, I have about ten T60s and T60ps and it's a comfy feel. I also have a half dozen of the number series, just about to put OpenBSD on one of 'em for kicks.
Bought an old Optiplex business computer from 2011 for just 85 dollars. Slapped a GPU and some more ram in it...

Resurrected some old PowerPC hardware I forgot I trash-dove 10 years ago. Had a shattered LCD screen and bent body seams/edges, and I finally got around to removing the screen and reconfiguring OpenFirmware to use Stone_B (VGA out) instead of Stone_A (LCD screen) as the 'default' screen so Linux kernel would display. Perfect for being my ultra-paranoid encrypted Hardened Gentoo GNU/SELinux system for private information, [crypto] finances, journaling, etc.
I christened it "The Flying Toaster," because the screen was likely shattered by the thing being chucked at a wall.

i dont have the resources to look into school surplus stores. I got mine on ebay and 85 includes the shipping of 15 bucks. I know people get ridiculous deals on computers like this

I just walked into Goodwill and they had about a dozen of them for $10 each. Also several pretty decent monitors for $10 each.
