Back in the days of my apprenticeship (Ausbildung) the company still had this whole storage of old CRT TVs. At some point the other apprentice and me had to get rid of all of them. This meant each of us grabbing one, carry it down 3 floors, load them onto the company’s VW T bus and unload at the recycling center.
No fun, one was so big and heavy I tripped and couldn’t get it off my myself. In hindsight I dont’t think this was within safety regulations, haha.
Honestly, when it comes to your specified amount of Cores & RAM you’ll have tough luck. Got myself a MiniPC with 5700U and 32GB of RAM, two 1TB SSDs (mirrored) and 3 NIC but that was still 500€ after waiting for a decent deal.
Even buying a used PC off eBay will most likely cost far more if you insist on your specs.
