What do you want to do with said PC?

Well wootware and loot have really cheap box PCs (excluding screen, mouse and keyboard) for R2 500 and under.
BUT you won't be able to do much with these PCs, maybe browse the internet at most.

Buy a refurbished pc / used?
If specs don't matter and you just want to check email and watch a movie it's almost pointless buying new. What you're going to spend on low-end components you can probably rather spend on the same priced mid-range components in a used pc.

All your stuff is unreasonably expensive. I didn't add my comment to not obstruct your sale, but once you pop up I can do it in this thread.

Raspberry Pi OK?

Matrix if you want new.

Raspberry Pi OK?

Current running 3 instances on pi's but they tend to die after 6 months.. so I am 18 months in and have to replace 2 pi's

I am now doubling the 6 units and there is a possibility ofd using dual screen to have 3 better units.. so lookinf for somthing new that will last a bit longer
