I have a friend who is an artist and animator. He's self employed, so he can't afford to buy a five figure Dell workstation. I noticed that there are many sold listings on Ebay for used E5-2699 v3 CPU's selling for $1,000 to $1,500. Some of them are located in Hong Kong, and many are in the US. Several of the US ones are labeled as engineering samples. Is this all too good to be true?
Ideally, it would be great if he could get two CPUs for $2,000 and add a minimum of 128 GB of RAM on an appropriate motherboard.
