The minis can be had for 50-100 on eBay depending on model and specs. The larger desk tops are also probably in that range as well. I use the Lenovo m715q (also a mini 1L chassis) that I got for $85 with Ryzen 3, 256gm NVME, and 16gb RAM.

Honestly that's the way to go if on a budget instead of buying a bunch of rack mount stuff. Do you have an estimate on total price paid for all that?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I got a desktop off eBay for $42, which had an i5-6500 and 8gb ddr4 RAM, no ssd or hdd.
