Hello,
I am looking for a decent refurbished/used server in the UK for around £400, I will mainly be using it for hosting a k3s cluster, for chromium builds, maybe a local Plex and anything else that pops up.
I have been looking in eBay at the following spec servers: HP Proliant DL380 Gen 4 (2680) Dell PowerEdge R530 V4 (2680)
And I have found a bunch around the £350-450 mark, usually with 128GB+ Ram and 4+ TB storage
Ideally I would want something that comes with a few TBs of HDD (is this not ideal?)
Is eBay the best shout for something like this? When looking at sites like bargain hardware, intelligent servers etc, the same spec machines are coming in at £600+
I.e: Bargain hardware eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145090679078 32GB no HDD ProLiant DL 380 E5 2860 v4 14 core £285.00
Same spec on bargain hardwares website is like £400+
Am I missing something about the eBay listings? Or is it just better to get from eBay in the UK?
