and I'd like to ask for your assistance about refurbished items. I am currently using a low-end laptop and it's used everyday that is why I'm planning to buy a desktop for general purposes. The thing is, I don't have big cashes in my hand that I can't afford to buy a dual core mainboard, a brand new one. So instead, I am after refurbished states but I'm afraid of buying one due to unassured durability. If you have any good experiences with refurbished stuffs, please share a cent about it thanks!

i've had good experiences with refurbished computers. Not to mention several people i know whom i've worked on their computers. Usually a refurbished machine will go back to the manufacturer or a trained technician and they'll look the machine over for defects before sale. If you are planning on purchasing online i would look at www.geeks.com i've use that site alot when buying parts. The other night i saw a 2.4Ghz P4 w/ 256MB RAM for $65...not including hard drive or monitor, mouse or keyboard. Still not a bad deal for a Pentium 4.

Did you check out Dell. I have heard good things about their refurbished stuff. I bought from them, new stuff, many times. They go above and beyond. Hope this helps you.

Thanks.. Dell does a good name, if they can give something good but cheap, I'll surely grab it.

my advise to you is take some one with you that knows about computers so they can help you get a good one for a good price.
