This reseller appears to have a ton of these that they’re gradually adding to the site. They usually add ~5 at a time once their current listings are sold.

$50 BIN with a $2 handling fee. Appears to ship UPS for ~$20ish, based on zip code. (These machines go for $100+ on ebay for what it’s worth)
Intel 2nd Gen Sandybridge i5-2400 3.10ghz
Intel HD 2000 integrated graphics
4 GB memory ram (2x2gb)
CD/DVD-RW
Windows 7 Home Premium C/O Label.
No hard drive / No Caddy
Unfortunately no HD, but you’d probably want to upgrade to an SSD anyway.
Since it’s a full size desktop you can throw in standard size vid cards.
PSU is only 240w but is still plenty for say a 750 Ti. Or spend the $20ish for a PSU upgrade and throw in a GPU that needs a 6-8pin.
Plenty of YT vids of people getting sold 60fps on 1080p triple A titles using this machine as their base, 1 such example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DwbuovLqXI
Looking at ~$200-$250 total out of pocket.
