Our take
If you're looking for a base system to build upon or repurpose, this HP ProDesk 400 G1 tower could be a decent starting point, especially at its price point. It comes with 4GB of RAM and an Intel Core i3 (or Pentium, as per specs, which is a bit confusing), adequate for basic computing. However, you'll need to factor in the cost and effort of adding a hard drive and installing an operating system, as neither is included. The USB 2.0 connectivity is a bit dated, so don't expect the fastest peripheral speeds. It's best suited for someone comfortable with a DIY approach to system configuration.
