My requirements were: 1) it comes with Windows 10; 2) it is in a tower case so that I have room to work on it. After reading the reviews, I decided on this one and am very pleased with the deal I got. It came with: - a 1 TB hard drive and room for 2 more 3.5" SATA drives - an empty 5.25" drive bay (I was thinking of moving the Lightscribe DVD writer from my old PC to here) - two 4GB memory sticks. Leaving two slots open for me to add two more 4GB sticks and max out the memory - empty PCI and PCI-e slots in case I ever decide to add a video card - a 275W power supply which is more than enough for the upgrades I would make (unless I got a really good deal on a very good video card) but that is also not difficult to replace. - multiple USB 3.0 & 2.0 ports on the front and back. - oh yeah, it came with a genuine Windows10...

The machine itself looks brand-new, clean inside and out without any signs of wear or tear. It arrived in just three days with Prime. The computer was sealed in plastic with a new COA and step-by-step instructions on how to activate the license. Also included was a brand-new power cord, new full-sized keyboard and new mouse. The machine set-up was simple and no problems after 48 hours of burn-in.
In short, this is quite a deal for anyone who needs a fairly powerful computer for really very little money. Oh, and it's a Dell, so there's that. Kudos to the refurbisher for a job really well done!

Hard drive was two 500GB drives (instead of one 1TB drive) - not a big deal to me. Memory was four 2GB sticks. Power supply was something like 270W. Came with clean windows 10 install and working license key (for refurbished PC). It's not a speed demon, but it works well if you understand its limitations. I added a old discrete graphics card and power supply and use this as emulation computer and HTPC (Kodi). Fitting a full-length graphics card is difficult due to placement of SATA and USB headers (which would interfere with a long graphics card). Getting low-profile SATA cables would help if you are trying to add a large graphics card. A shorter graphics card (like gtx 1050) works fine. In the machine I received, the default SATA drive location (for two 500GB drives) in the case required angled SATA power connectors with fairly close spacing. If you are swapping the power supplies, you should look at the SATA drive power... Read more |
