You can get a Dell Optiplex 7020/9020 SFF i5 16GB RAM No HDD from the Michigan State Surplus. For me shipping was about $25 for three of them.
Damn I need something like this but in Canada

Nice, thanks.
Wow, that’s a shockingly good deal. I’d love to get something like this for Plex and general household stuff.
You want 7th gen or newer for Plex if you want to use QSV for hardware acceleration! Good news is those boxes are still under $100 on ebay.
Yeah, they have ones with 1 TB HDD, and some with Windows installed too. Besides these guys, I routinely search for surplus equipment all the time
You wouldn't mind sharing where to look for surplus stuff would you?
Such a good find. Now I’m trying to find a reason to get one lol. My Plex and *arr setup right now is an older model gaming rig with an 8TB external.
Wow, just learned about a really awesome place, those are good prices!
That is actually pretty solid. Ordered one.
Curse you! Ordered...
Just add power cost to run it. Old thing become way more expensive if you add power cost over it life.
They use about ~20W, not too bad.
That said I would go for 7th gen or newer at this point for proper QSV support, and OpenVINO support for things like Frigate object detection.
