I don't have idle hardware. Life starts when I buy it and it continues until I've ran it to the point it's cheaper to replace. I spun up another server with spare parts. Needed more ram for VMs. But I do buy new gear for myself. Bought 4x32GB DDR4 ECC for the main desktop, put the 4x16GB DDR4 ECC into my flagship server. Bought a 5900X, put my 1600AF into the server too.
