[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 891243, member: 32547"] Could you go for a used PC? Reason I ask is that you can pick up a great computer for well under $200 on ebay if you know what to seek or if you are willing to do a little bit of research. Specs for $170 HP z230 Xeon E3-1230 v3 250 GB Crucial SSD (new) 16 GB ddr3 500 GB 6 G/s backup drive USB 3 Sata 3 Nvidia Quadro 510 graphics card Windows 10 On ebay the above without the SSD I added was $120 delivered to the front door. Generally, these computers are so lightly used, they might as well be new. Seems corporations often don't use them very hard even if they are running during the daytime. Here is a good example on ebay: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Z230-Workstation-Tower-Xeon-E3-1240-V3-3-4ghz-Quad-Core-16gb-1Tb-Win10/373071082783?epid=6021421984&hash=item56dcc4f51f:g:M2IAAOSw2jFcgZqx:sc:FedExHomeDelivery!30265!US!-1[/URL] No ssd but you can add one for around $30 for a 250 GB drive. This is even better: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313.TR3.TRC2.A0.H0.Xe3-1271+v3.TRS0&_nkw=e3-1271+v3&_sacat=171957&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=171957&_odkw=e3-1270+v3[/URL] Very good deal this one. Just make sure the feedback of the seller is good. [/QUOTE]
