I can also get used DDR3 ECC memory for a hell of a lot cheaper than DDR4 right now.&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately the person who wrote this article is in the EU who has much slimmer picking in the second-hand market. I can buy a Dell R620 for $200-300, two 10-core Xeons for another $300 if it doesn’t come with enough cores, and 128GB of 16GB DDR RDIMMs for $200 - total price is under $1000USD, and that’s excluding any components that come with the server I may opt NOT to replace.</text></comment>

That adds up.</text></comment>
