Caught in a loop

I need to replace my existing ancient Dell 2950s with something slightly newer to upgrade to VMWare 7.0 U2. My home domain (2019 functional level) is also starting to choke on the old hardware.
I don't need anything new. Something like a used Dell R720 with 16 cores, 192GB Ram, 13 TB of usable storage, etc, will do it for a home domain.
Where could I get something like this on the cheap? I found a comparable system online for $840, but that is a bit more than I want to spend.
What do you recommend?

Minus one server, everything in my rack came from ebay. I paid $325 for a Sandy Bridge era Supermicro server with 16gb of ram last spring. Add another $100-200 for the ram upgrade and you should be in business.
