I was a little scared to buy a refurbished computer. I use the optiplex's at my work so knew they would be fine for a home office computer but wasn't sure of the quality I would receive. It's been a month now and it's been powered on the whole time. It works great, is super fast, and was easy to setup. The mouse that came with it was faulty but I don't really care about that. I've got plenty of mice and that wasn't really what I was buying here. The keyboard that came with it was standard and works fine. If you aren't sure if buying this computer is a good idea, hopefully my story will help convince you that it will be ok. If things go to pot however, I will update my review
