gollark: I also have a somewhat newer desktop with an SSD and whatnot which I built a while ago, but the GPU died so that's being repurposed as a replacement server.
gollark: Tower *server*, though, so I get entirely unused iLO remote access stuff and a redundant power supply I use one input of.
gollark: My laptop is a £170 (including upgrades) used businessy one with a 7th generation Intel CPU, and my server's a £100 10-year-old HP tower.
gollark: The monitoring page (https://status.osmarks.tk/) actually graphs uptime over... time... which is remarkably useless.
gollark: My server only has 20 days uptime, since I rebooted it recently, sadly.
