a Dell OptiPlex 5040 that I saved from the dumpster at work because I’m a cheapskate.

You are absolutely not a cheapskate for doing that. That's being resourceful. You save money that way and can put it towards other things that matter more. Nothing wrong with that. Why spend a few hundred dollars for a new laptop/desktop when you can just get one used that will run for another 2-4 years before it dies?
