@ckape I have a desktop which I built with a Ryzen 1600X, then a home server with a 2700X. A few years later, motherboard chipset updates allow them to go up a few generations, so I maxed out the server with a 5800X, then moved the 2700X to the desktop (which coincidentally could only go up to 2000 series, so it was also maxed).

    I've found the most satisfying way to feel rich without spending a lot of money: upgrade the CPU on older server class hardware. Server CPUs fall off a cliff in value pretty quickly. Xeon E5-2699 v4, launched 2016, MSRP $4,115. I just ordered one for $100. Xeon X5570, launched 2009, MSRP $2800. Two years ago I bought one for $4.
