Used desktop computers can be found anywhere for under $200. These things always come with a respectable CPU and a decent amount of RAM. The larger ones can usually hold up to 4 disks, making this a huge step up over single board computers.
Pros
- Excellent balance of cost vs. performance.
- Come pre-built and ready to work.
- Ubuquitous and easy to source.
- Upgrades are cheap.
- Quiet.
Cons
- ???
Dell OptiPlex
Dell's OptiPlex line is a "business-oriented desktop and all-in-one computers made for corporate enterprises, healthcare, the government, and education markets." The OptiPlex line stretches back to the '90s, so make sure you double-check that yours was made in the last 10 years or so.
