Tons of good options in the used enterprise market. 3-5 years old, usually some paths for basic upgrades, as well as a flood of part availability from all the other similar systems being off boarded that were broken and not resellable. Laptops can be a bit roughed up, but full sized and sff desktops are usually in great condition.

You can get some really good deals on refurbished equipment. Every time you hear about a tech company doing layoffs, there’s a chance that a bunch of used computers are about to go on the market. Sometimes you can buy them by the pallet.
