This is an expensive hobby. I started out with an old $30 optiplex and thought what a financial genius I was. Now my server cost around $700 and even though it is more than enough for my use case, I still find myself looking at upgrades =/

Can be expensive, can also be cheap. I enjoy the five dollar arduinos and twenty dollar single board computers just as much as the high power machines.

Always looking for upgrades. But unless its in a form of efficiency I'm sticking with my EPYC setup.

I don't see any major upgrades for another 5 years at best. Only thing I will likely upgrade is my CPU from Rome to Milan.

I only upgrade when learning becomes too much of a pita with current hardware.

I should be good for a few years.

I upgrade every 2 generations it’s not cheap running a stretched cluster in VMware

Bought a Nuci7 extreme gen 9 I believe. Apparently only the i9 could do what I wanted but alas it was too late. It'll have to do until it dies.
