Some context: So, I'm 18 and I live with my parents. I work full time and I'm attending a college that's close to our home. I've sat down and talked to them about getting my own place, but they insist on me staying. They said it would be stupid to pay for a place to stay while they would let me stay for free, and I didn't argue. So I'm still living with them. (Just wanted to clear up that I'm not a 39y/o bum who lives in his parents basement). They're Christian, conservative and fairly strict, but not crazy.
EDIT: I do contribute in other ways to the household i.e. I pay insurance, I keep up the house, etc. I just don't have to pay rent.
Anyways, I purchased a gaming desktop PC. It was pretty expensive, and I saved up my extra money to buy it. Well, when I brought it home, my parents were ticked that I bought it without taking to them. They think video games are a waste and addictive (reinforced by the recent Fortnite kid's trends). They now want me to sell it. I refused. I had this thing custom built, and I saved for a long time to get it. So they're angry. I have the PC under my bed. I don't want to get rid of it, but I also don't want to make them mad. I love and respect my parents. I am also living in their house. I just don't know what to do. I've wanted this PC for so long, and now I can't even use it.
TL;DR: My parents want me to sell my PC that I saved a lot of money for
