I feel like $350 is a pretty high price for a cash strapped office.
You can get an acceptable desktop pc from BestBuy for $250 [1]. It's not great, but it'll probably work. Yes, it's a clearance price, but there's always something on clearance.

- ndriscoll 2y agoAn i7-13700 and 16 GB of DDR4-3200 seems pretty great to me. My i5-6600k is still way more than adequate, and that thing is ~6x more capable. Honestly a $160 N100 minipc is probably more than enough for office work.
- dagmx 2y agoThere’s the other aspects though like security , management and hot desking that fall under my definition of cash strapped that I think would drive sales of this.
- BenjiWiebe 2y ago$350 gets some pretty awesome ex-office PCs. I've upgraded my friends/family/neighbors with them and only heard good things about them. (1st/2nd generation ryzen towers from ebay - typically with 8gb ram and a ssd.)
- ssl-3 2y agoSure. Used PCs can be a great bargain. But they're not new. And that can be an important distinction for a buyer -- including one who is operating on a budget.
