My last computer, an old Compaq Presario lasted 12 years, in fact, it still runs, I just need to replace the USB ports. I looked around for a cheap replacement and found an HP elite Desk 800 on Best Buy for $249. The prices in this video description are as of July 20,2021 and are only for comparison purposes as prices change every day.
I have been happy with my new HP so far, the processor does make a lot of noise at times but the video quality was much improved over my last computer.
this is the one I bought at Best Buy.
HP - Refurbished EliteDesk Desktop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 2TB Hard Drive - Black
Model:800 G1 SFF-0603SKU:5830100
you can probably find a similar priced HP eliteDesk on Amazon with even better RAM, mine was only 8GB. However, I felt comfortable with 8GB of Ram as my old Compaq only had 3 GB.
Here is a similar one at Amazon that also comes with a monitor and mouse.
Currently, it is $222 but prices change constantly.
I am only giving the price so you can compare it to the price of the one I got on Best Buy for $249
