Those things aren't exactly light, so I can see the high shipping cost being plausible.

If you really want one of those, search locally. i'm sure you'll find some large office that upgrade to something newer.
In my former work place we had dozens of the, lying around, waiting to be scarped (cannot be sold due to Data Security limitations). Even my current work place started to buy newer Dell PCs. Mini ITX with 7th Gen i5 and SSDs.

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 | Asus ROG B350-i Gaming | Gigabyte GTX 1080 Windforce | Corsair CX650M | G.SKILL RIPJAW 16GB 3000Mhz | CoolerMaster MasterLiquid 240mm RGB AIO | SK Hynix SC308 256GB M.2 SSD | 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm HDD | Fractal Design Define Nano S
