    Ebay, Amazon, Facebook. If you are looking for a lot of conputers look into Thinkpads. Generally they have a 3 year lease. They are spectacular and run Linux well.

    Whatever you do, do look at a few different options. Some refurbished computers can have huge price differences between sellers.

    Where in the world are you?

    I guess eBay works in large parts of the world, and websearching for refurbished tech could yield helpful results.

    Depends on where you are in the world but Lenovo mini PCs and eBay will probably cover your needs.

    This might sound crazy but discountelectronics.com is pretty solid in the United States. Maybe not be the cheapest, but they consistently have fresh inventory that turns over.
