It's been a while since I've made this purchase. I really wanted to make sure it didn't die on me a month in. So far it's been going strong.I'm using this PC for data collection, running it 24/7 under pretty high loads. It's working great for what I need it for. It runs pretty quiet too.I'd rate the visible aesthetics as "like new." Definitely impressed with the refurbish job. Maybe I just got really lucky, but I'm really happy with how it looks. The inside was clean and dust-free as well.
