HP in general is a bad choice. They have a high rate of getting broken. If you go for 2nd hand/refurbished, always go for Dell, Lenovo (IBM), Asus, Gigabyte, Fujitsu, Toshiba. I worked 25+ years in IT hardware and systems. Dell are the most robust machines. HP are the last to choose, only when I do not have another choice. Always get broken.

Ah, mh. Already bought one for 30€:
HP EliteDesk Desktop PC Barebone 800 G1 USDT Dual Core G3220 2x 3.0 GHz B-Grade
Thought this would be a good deal since I already have a 1TB SSD and just need some RAM. Maybe I can salvage some from an old broken laptop I have lying around. Can't do much wrong with 30€ I guessed.
G3220 also does not look so bad. I compared it to i3-4130 which I have in my desktop PC. i3-4130 seems to be only 13% faster.
So I thought these specs should be enough for a full + LN node.
Let's see how long it will run
