HP t730 Thin Client Desktop AMD RX427BB 4GB RAM READ! -AA | eBay

AMD RX427BB. THIS DESKTOP DOES BOOT TO BIOS. Otherwise in Good condition with various marks, sticker residue, general wear.

Seems like an OK deal for an AMD RX-427BB based thin client with PCIe slot, even considering the PSU and drive are missing. I have no experience with this seller.

Does it use standard hp PSU for laptops and NVMe drive?

Edit:

I was considering it for media center PC but these will be very slow even if they have 4K HEVC decoder.

Most of the TCs do use the same laptop style power supply, although I would think this one would need 95w. Specs says it does use standard nvme drives: HP t730 Thin Client PC Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support

I was interested until I saw the sellers feedback. Think I'll pass.

What is your use case? They are piledrivers, inefficient and slow Yeah they are pretty much free but u have to put your time in them.

To be honest, I don't really need it. But that has never stopped me before, but bad feedback will.

I wouldn't exactly call them slow--their single thread performance isfaster then than the J5005 that is a few years newer. And while they do sip a bit more power, it's like $5 over the course of a whole year:

I meant no offense I was thinking about its intel counterpart as i3-6100t.

No offense taken. Ah yes, for their power compared to a desktop cpu of the same era--no contest.

One of the things I did to figure out where the D510 Atoms, et al stood out in terms of performance was to do the same type of comparison. I was shocked at how slow they actually are!
