Andrew while there are many good places I use Resell Electronics
850 W Lincoln St, Phoenix, AZ 85007 6-4 M-F ignore the online store and
just stop buy and think bulk prices more you buy the cheaper
I typically buy the parts computers hp or dell I5 10-50$ then buy ram and
hdd (behind counter) extra nick under 1-5$ and the installfest and a home
server is done
a laptop could be used but would need a second usb nick and running a
laptop 24/7 ...as a router it would be smaller
