Just taking a second to gush about the Xeon e3 1240. It's a lot of CPU for 40 bucks! And the fact that DDR3 is dirt cheap on ebay right now just makes it even sweeter.

    I found that DDR3 wasn't that much cheaper than DDR4 when I was looking at it.

    @dizmoYou just have to look around, I got lucky and picked up a two stick 8GB kit for 15 bucks on ebay, paired it with the 40$ e3 1240 and now my spare PC is pretty badass for basically free considering I got the motherboard for a couple of bucks. :)

    Ahhh that's probably why, I wouldn't consider getting anything under 16GB.

    @dizmoWell if it was a main rig of course, but it's just as a random spare rig for when I wanna have some people over for LAN stuff, or just as a good spare in general, so 8GB does fine. If I ever needed to I could still upgrade to 16GB super cheap.
