Thread here to track off-the-shelf systems to buy?

Hi all. Just wondering if there is (or if the moderators would create a sticky thread) a thread here where we can post links to 100% built, relatively non-customizeable machines that are on sale. The point would be to help folks here buy high-crunching machines that are ready to go for folks who simply don't want to spend all the time and effort of research and installing/building the machine.

For example, someone could post a link to a particular Dell desktop that is configured a particular way and is on super sale 65% off for $399 today only AND is a quality machine that they would promote for WCG heavy use running 24x7.

As a real example, I will promote right now that B&H has the Apple Mac Mini M2 with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD for $499 ($100 off normal price and cheaper than Apple's refurbished site). I use it for MCM and it's a great tiny machine that uses very little power, is dead silent, and creates very little heat.

Those Mac Mini M2 machines are now $479 instead of $599 (link in previous post) if anyone is interested in a great little machine!
