    SSDs costing $300 for me. For some reason my current drives refuse to partition. I got an old laptop on it, but it barely works regardless of what OS is on it.

      Older refurbished Thinkpads are a good and cheap way to go. They save a ton of compatibility headaches which only eat time. Linux is very economical on hardware resources. Or, just use an old pc. I work as a programmer and my main PC is 15 years old now.
