Hello folks a wild Dell optiplex 320 appeared to me for $38,00.

Core 2 duo processor 4gb RAM (which I can easily upgrade) 160gb HD (which I'll certainly change for a 1TB SSD

I would try to find something a bit newer. Core 2 Duos are really power hungry. Find one with an i5 processor and a T at the end of the number, like i5 3450T or something. This will be a little less performant but run at 30 watt max compared to the core 2 duos 150 watt. Fujitsu esprimo are also a good cheap option and both lenovo and Fujitsu offer rather tiny pcs that work excellent for severs.
