Decent budget desktop computer
Discussion
Hello,
As per title really, would really appreciate a nudge in the right direction. I own a very small building company and would like a specific work PC to keep my personal and business use completely separate. I've got a monitor, keyboard, mouse etc so that's all sorted and don't want to keep using my laptop for work duties.
Mainly it's emails, some spreadsheets, photo storage and I might run some lightroom through it to touch up some photos from projects.
Seen some refurbished models on Amazon for less than £100. I'm certainly partial to new, used or refurbished, just need it to be a dependable workhorse.
Any advice most appreciated, thanks!

The refurbished business PCs are good value for money.
You probably want an old Dell / HP / Lenovo, i5-4th gen, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD or better, and Windows 10. Loads of 'em about.
ETA - a bit of filtering and sort by average customer review later, something like this -

Lightroom might want you to spend a bit more though...

Thanks for that, this is what I'm looking at:
HP Elite 8300 SFF Quad Core i5-3470 3.20GHz 8GB 256GB SSD DVD WiFi Windows 10 Professional Desktop PC Computer With Antivirus (Renewed) https://amzn.eu/d/2XfxBrT
I'm almost concerned by how cheap it is!
