Universities typically have surplus sales, I bought a blade server from one back in the day. You do have to compete against the metal scrapers though.

I've been buying used HP desktops for years on Amazon. The last couple I7 machines with decent RAM and drives I got for around $300 or so.

The last university surplus sale I went to had tons of office computers that could easily be repurposed as basic home servers starting at $30~ish USD.
Does anyone know how to get old stuff trashed by enterprises? Is it a good way to get cheaper stuff?
