  Find a brother in law that works in IT. I changed his brakes and he gave me three Optiplex micros that were e-wasted from his work.

    To be fair, those are easy to find by the truckload even if you don’t have a brother in law in IT.

  eBay, Amazon, sometimes you can snag deals when they release newer versions, they actually had a few on Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

  Tbh, I got mine in a pack of 4 on eBay (I only needed 3), cleaned them out a bit, bumped the RAM and put new disks in them and they’ve been solid.
