Every time I've had a use for these either a business PC (or ex-business referb for home) has always been a better, cheaper answer.
where do you find refurbs? I'd love to get my hands on an ex-business refurb!

You can get a hold of them via #eBay. Every now and then a business upgrades and floods the market.
One of these days I want to buy a whole bunch of them and build a #Beowulf cluster.
You could use eBay but that's usually the option of last resort.
Your local city probably has referb shops that sell them or if you're keen you can pick them up directly from auction for peanuts.
Thanks! Gotta keep a lookout for them deals!
