It’s probably possible.
Last night I bought an HP Elitedesk 800 G3 with an i7-700 for $163 shipped off a d00d on Facebook Marketplace.
I’m only just starting my homelab journey and I’m just going to take it slow.
I’m aiming to get stuff for a NAS next.
This is great to hear. Despite all the recent Black Friday or cyber Monday deals, I still couldn’t bring myself to forking out tons of money just to get started when something used will do just fine for learning.
