Dell Optiplex are tiny, absurdly cheap computers that are a great first step for self-hosting out of your house.

Why? Businesses and schools buy hundreds of these at once and then "liquidate" them a few years later. Therefore they're way cheaper than regular PCs for their specs.

For less than the cheapest smartphone you can own a small slice of the Internet.​

That is true, with the cpu arch, more flexible than a raspi for some applications.

Some alpha for nostr: use this advanced search in ebay and modify to your liking

(optiplex, thinkcentre, g4) (tiny, micro, mini) (i5, i7) -(3470,3570,4570,4590,4785,4570,4765,4785)

The last part omits some old models
