It should be possible to find one below 100 dollars.

Good luck 😀
I've been really stubborn I guess. A while back I made the calculation that one SD from the mean was $65 shipped because there were rare occasions of nobody bidding on a V5500 and winning it for like $50. The good news is there are new V5500 for sale every few days.
Update:
I found a V5500 for a good price. It's actually remarkably clean and quiet. Like very little noise. I'm kind of in love. Anyway, I skipped a bunch of the benchmarks as Unreal appeared to be the most harsh. I'm seeing very similar scores. I am just posting average over 5 runs.

The 1400S + V5500 is kind of like an e46 M3. I want to drive it but not too much. This is in contrast to a 486/VLB setup which is like a porsche 964 😉
