Anyone else enjoy putting together Frankenstein low to mid-fi -systems?

I love doing this - it's how i got into gear. When budgets are limited you do it out of necessity. And anyway, by some standards my current system (expensive as hell, to me) is probably low to mid fi frankenstein.

My latest one is my garage stereo - bose 301 series iii, old klipsch home theater sub, black sherwood receiver from the 90's and a bluetooth dongle. All in about 50 bucks from the thrifts
