It's a pleasure to go back to a mini-tower computer. I added a 22" touch screen monitor, and added my own wireless mouse and wireless keyboard. The mini-tower can be placed on it's side and the monitor can be placed on top. The DVD (multi-recorder) is easier to use this way. Make sure you plug-in the WiFi adapter into the USB and connect to your wireless router before registering with Microsoft. Look for your 25-letter license code (some letters are hidden with a scratch-off silver wax). Would have been nice to have a few written instructions, but I muddled through. Would definitely buy from Amazon Refurbished again.
