The only thing that comes to mind is headphones.

office chairs
hard drives
SSDs
PSUs
basically everything that you use every day

>hard drives
>SSDs
>PSUs
These seem reasonable, but how did you extend this to virtually every item?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Operating system.

If you haven't paid for it, you'll have issues forever.

i speak for most here when i say speak for yourself

Monitors.

Maybe you have mental issues

Antivirus software as well.

Pretty much this. I've been paying for a Norton subscription for 10 years now and couldn't be more satisfied.

Anything that you want or need to be very reliable (so important storage - meaning pretty much all HDDs and SSDs, power supplies, motherboards), anything with a joystick

Jokes on you, I've pirated since windows XP and zero issues

UBUNTU JUST WERKS!!!

PSU
if you do its gonna cost you a LOT

The poor man pays twice.

chair
keyboard
monitor
SSDs and hard drives

use arch

Norton, hahaha what a meme. You realize it's one of the worst antivirus software out there? If you really need one go for malware-bytes. It's the least bloated one.

Or you could just use any distro of linux

I have a 10 dollar walmart pair that has lasted me 5 years because I can re-solder the wires and I made the headset destructible after the plastic band broke.

the bed you sleep in
blackout curtains for your office
high quality artificial lighting (not fluorescent)

probably the least reasonable answer in this thread

lmfao

headphones

thermal paste
keyboard and mouse
speakers and headphones

By cheaping out I mean going under 20 bucks. Going above 50 for any of these things is retarded tho.

>that 30y/o boomer who pays for antivirus software

powersupply

>that 30y/o boomer
how about you go back to LE /V/IDYA with your gay ass terms you fucking /v/tard

Strong bait but I ain't falling for it.

>that 30y/o boomer who's out of touch with meme culture

>saying things like meme culture

Headphones. If you're going to use them, get good ones.
Keyboard. You type on it all day, don't give yourself issues.
Coffee. You need it, you know you need it, do it right.
Monitor. You stare at it all day, make it worth the effort.
Hard drives. That's your data, do you care about it or not?
Server hardware. Same deal as with hard drives.

>Coffee. You need it, you know you need it, do it right.
Cucked

I actually agree with this. Get gud coffee, it's leagues better.
Also, not really Jow Forums, but car tires. Good ones last way longer than shit ones you get on sale.

I've never personally met anyone that's had PSU issues. I've used bestbuy brand Dynex dirt cheap PSUs for years with no problems

>Having a physical dependency on caffeine

No you fool. If you like coffee get good coffee.
I also love tea, so I get good loose tea and brew that.
Hell, if you love Coke get Coke, not knock off cola.

csg would disagree

Lmao just don't drink coffee tarrrrddddf

>You need it, you know you need it, do it right.

>Hurr durr im not dependent, I just really like it ok?!

Coffee is cucked? Who put the Jow Forums in my Jow Forums?

Caffeine is a performance enhancer. And coffee is delicious.

Yeah, one that you'd get withdrawals from if you stopped drinking it tomorrow morning.
Sounds like you're pretty cucked to me.

>PSU
>Monitor
>chair

In that order.

I advise going cold turkey on caffeine for a week. I suspect within 24hours someone will try to kill you for being such a piece of shit but you'll feel so much better once your addiction is gone.

HDMI cables

Unless it costs at least £99 it's not worth having

So on the reverse end of this, what can you cheap out on?
Cables seem like the obvious answer

enjoy your house fire user

if you buy anything less than a 5k imac you're wasting your money in the long run

Do you two really not understand liking the taste of good coffee?

this

i agree

This is really shitty bait.

Sure they might last a long time, but they aren't going to sound anywhere near as good as a quality pair

Certified idiot.

Thanks, Marioman! What could we do without your mass replies?

You can cheap on SSDs so long as you know what controller and mem chips the SSD has.
enjoy your (you)
Normies don't know how bad mainstream audio is. It really is dreadful. I hope the HD Audio certification catches on with normies and negates this somewhat.

Chargers yes, but cheap cables aren't going to start a fire. That's just silly user

Drugs r bad my DARE officer told me so.
