I meant that was a place holder

Better way to search.  Go to link below and use search filters on the left
then sort by price.  pcpartspicker is a kind of specialized search engine
that will pointy to many different vendors.

All that said, the last PC I just bought came from a wholesaler who was
selling HP computers that just came off lease. I needed something with
alot of compute power
so I bought an HP workstation with 16-core xeon and 64GB ECC RAM
for $500.  I added an nVidia GPU and SSD and then Ubuntu Linux.
It runs headless in a closet.  The GPU is used as a compute engine.


If you really like the "745" look here.   It is one of the liquidators
I was talking about.  $70 with 90 day warranty.
