Pros: This is probably the 3rd, maybe the 4th or 5th "refurbished" Dell computer that I have purchased through NewEgg. They have all been great machines and they are all are still running after years and years. This one was no different from all the rest. OH YES and the prices have ALWAYS been one of the best parts of the transaction. Cheers ...

Overall Review: I would definitely recommend these machines over purchasing a brand new one.

Pros: This is a very fast multi-core processor for a very low price. There is also loads of room inside the case for expansion cards of all types. The only reason I subtracted a star is because of Intell inside. You see, many many moons ago I switched to AMD EXCLUSIVELY! But this was a deal that I just could not pass up. I did check "some" of the processor specs before I bought it, but I NEVER DREAMED that Intell would have the Houtsap to name a 4 core processor and I5. Now I must admit I would have bought this unit anyway, 4 cores certainly met my requirements... but Come On Guys!!!!

Cons: No real "Cons" for this desktop. Don't expect USB 3.0 or SATA 6 on the motherboard, but it does have PLENTY of USB 2.0 ports and excellent performance.

Overall Review: I would recommend this to almost anyone. No issues activating the onboard Windows 7 at all (a big reason for my purchase). I did shift over to an SSD just to give it a little more UMPF, but it ran nicely on the included HDD. Now there for backup.
