there two major extremes of retro tech enthusiasts
the first kind gets into it for the aesthetic of it all, and any machines they have are dust collectors, unless they've managed to set it up for gaming, in which case it won't be a total dust collector
these are the most common

the second kind is actually obsessed and will spend absurd sums of money on accelerator cards and networking cards and shit to make their Amiga a daily driver
shit like the PiStorm, while totally cheating, makes this way cheaper than ever before, but not even ten years ago, these people would have spent thousands to make an ancient machine slightly closer to modern

if you want an actual subculture, find people like the second option
