Ahoy, I am looking to buy a few refurbished PCs to use as Linux servers for my home office. Looking for i5, 16Gb RAM and 1TB HD as min spec.

Can anyone recommend a good reseller of refurnished kit
 
Have you thought about picking up a server instead and running them as VMs? The Dell PowerEdge T20 is quite popular now as there's regular cashback deals. You'll just need to purchase some extra RAM and storage (another NIC as well if you want each VM to have it's own network connection). It'll probably end up cheaper than running a bunch of PCs individually and may give you a more versatile setup.

I am going the VM route. Just bought a twin hex core Xeon processor box with 48gb ram for £350 on eBay.
