I have the chance to purchase this workstation from https://www.diabloscomputer.ro/workstati...on-e5-1620. It includes: RAM 16gb, HDD 500gb, CPU e5-1620. You can upgrade the CPU to an e5 2670 (8 cores) for a total of 1200 lei or 288$. Alternatively, you could replace your current PC with 4gb RAM, an i7 920 CPU, 1tb HDD, and an x5675 (6 cores), costing about 750 lei or 150$. I plan to use some used RX 580 graphics cards.

They are refurbished motherboard parts. With major businesses phasing out older models (such as X58, X79 and X99 server versions), some creative individuals are salvaging the chipsets and transforming them into updated boards, incorporating modern capabilities like USB3 and NVMe support. Great repurposing. These pieces are authentic—no fake or overly playful designs.
