DESCRIPTION:Inspired by talks at 2025's DevConf.cz\, I returned home and pr
 omptly bought a second hand workstation\, and then a GPU on Prime Day. The
  plan was not to spend a lot of money. It was not to buy the latest and gr
 eatest hardware. It was to see could be achieved on hardware that is abund
 ant and affordable. Results have been\, mixed\, and at times I've asked my
 self if I was doing it wrong\, if the hype about certain technologies (suc
 h as OpenClaw) were deserved\, and whether the whole endeavour was misguid
 ed. Whilst everyone else is raving about M4 (now M5) Mac's\, Framework Des
 ktop\, Dell GB10's and more\, I wanted to see what I could do with US$500 
 and tech that there's no waiting list for. This presentation distils for e
 veryone what I've learned\, the pain points\, the successes\, and ultimate
 ly whether I'd do it all over again. (Spoiler - I would!)
