Went to
https://molten.org.nz this arvo hoping to buy a recycled case, powersupply, and basic graphics card (expecting to pay about $100-$150 for those three) so I could then drop ~ $2-300 for an Aliexpress X99 (Intel Xeon CPU) + motherboard + RAM kit (e.g. 32 GB RAM). I came home with a recycled HP workstation, with a high-end AMD graphics card, 16GB RAM (expandable to 256, 8 slots!), a Xeon processor (in a suitable Motherboard) tested & running (Mint USB) for $130. Wow.
