I wish I had some great wisdom to share… Corporate upgrades. They were selling off all the “Useless” computers that were easier to replace than upgrade. i5’s w/ 4gb of DDR3 & a 500 gig drive aren’t going to run too much modern (windows) software; but DDR3 is cheap to upgrade, and $5 for a system I can get going for an hour’s worth of time is a no brainer.
Ah good old “right time right place”! My employer is remarkably averse to letting things go, they keep things for decades, then suddenly, seemingly overnight, BLAP! all gone. 🤷
