- Refurbished computers? - 5 Updates
| KenK <invalid@invalid.com>: May 16 05:34PM Anyone have any experience with refurbished computers? A very quick Google shows prices seem quite low. Evidently they include operating systems? Reliable dealers? TIA -- You know it's time to clean the refrigerator when something closes the door from the inside. |

A friend of mine recently bought a refurbished laptop, and I later bought two refurbished desktop computers, from a company called PC Rebuilders and Recyclers ( http://pcrr.com ). He got his through a special program that his cable company has for low income families with kids in school who need Internet access and a low-cost computer. The two refurbished desktop computers that I bought through PCRR were on behalf of a tax exempt nonprofit program that I am associated with that needed them. PCRR also sells directly to the public without the special nonprofit discounts, and their regular to-the-public prices are also good. All three computers (my friend's and the two for the nonprofit) work well and are exactly as they were advertised to be. Here's a direct link to their pricing: http://store.pcrr.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=39 |

Bought a refurbed Dell Optiplex 3010, which came with Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit pre-installed, with a recovery CD. Got it from NewEgg. They were acting as an agent for "Blair Technology Group" but it included a warrany from NewEgg, and additional coverage from the "Google Trusted Stores program." Cost $240, with free shipping. It's been sitting in the basement running about 16 hours a day for about a year and a half, controlling my ham radio gear without incident. -- bert@iphouse.com St. Paul, MN |

I got a far better equipped new laptop for a much lower price at Walmart. |
