> you can buy a Dell PowerEdge M915 from ebay with 128 cores for ~$500 USD
Where? Was not able to find one. Found a 32 core for $750. It was a pre-Epyc AMD server which has it's own problems.
There were only 9 options listed for the exact term you gave 'Dell PowerEdge M915' for the USA before I got to pricey international sellers. The few options make me feel skeptical about this.
This is of course before I even consider security and performance issues of used Intel servers.
