You can probably pick up a decent desktop machine for $50 from your local ads and put the rest into upgrades and still have some money left over.
Yup, that or if buying new then check out older models that may be in clearance/sale. You don’t need something with a 4070 etc to run Linux, but you could potentially manage to find something with an older-gen video card and decent/upgradeable RAM. There should also be more easily found discussion over Linux compatibility
With laptops, also watch out for models with soldered-on RAM or low maximums, which can limit upgrades.
