FWIW, I’ve gotten computers from Salvation Army stores at amazingly low prices. Sometimes just parts, sometimes the whole setup. CHEAP route to look into.
Return soon, and best wishes.

Pawn shops can be a good source as well. Just be ready to wipe it. The one I got had a lot of gay porn on it. Unix DD write to every sector on the drive then re partition and low level format and then reinstalled.... oh and Clorox wiped the whole thing including battery, DVD drive, screen, power cord etc.
Perhaps a tad overkill but I wanted it to be clean. No problems since.
