Actually about installing Windows on a used PC sold sans HD. You actually can install Windows on them without buying a new license. The OEM Windows license is tied to the MB serial number in the Bios and you can install the same Windows version as was OE and register it without buying anything. (At least that is how it worked on the last HP I did that with.) No more looking up a number on a sticker required.

About 2 years ago I got tired of having LCNC on 4 different machines, each with their own quirks and bought 4 of them for $600 & change, Rugged, well built, they've a 5i25 socket but only 2 sata connectors. I put $40 small SSD's in them and 3 are running 3 of my machines now. Stable, run from power failure to power failure. The 4th was running Cura, and feeding two 3d printers but lost its video in a storm, so now those 2 printers each have their own rock64 running octoprint. And a ups each to protect them from the next storm. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
