Hi there! I am fairly new to Houdini and I am wondering if I should get an older used workstation with these specs:

Dual Xeon E5 2687W (16 cores)
32 GB RAM
Quadro 5000
Liquid cooling (which i might actually replace with Noctua Fans)

For under $1000

Or build a new PC (which would probably cost more to get similar specs)?

Thanks in advance!
