Spent $200 for a new desktop PC just a couple of months ago. It came with Linux + mouse&kb. Already had my own monitor. It has the Athlon 3000G processor (released in 2019).
Before I decided on this one, I also checked the second-hand/refurbished market, which in my country is quite extensive. The cheapest refurbished PC is just $29.
Thing is, one of these companies that sells refurbished PCs has been in the market for more than 20 years. There must be people buying these.
I expect to use this PC for at least 10 years.
How old is yours and how long are you looking to get out of it?
Do you have a back-up old one that you keep around just in case?
