I have had this desktop for about a week now, and I am very happy with the performance of it. great value for the amount of power you're getting, and there's plenty of room to upgrade.here's the fun part. the refurbisher/company who sent me my tower (called ROUNDED SAM) really gave me the business. my computer was supposed to come with an i5 3470 processor, but instead, it arrived with a 2400, which wasn't even the original processor for the computer (it had writing on it, and no thermal paste on it). on the CPU cooler there was some leftover thermal paste, but it was completely dry, and almost caused my CPU to overheat while installing some games. the outside of the case was covered in sticker residue, and the inside of the case was covered with dust and had obviously not been cleaned at all. so much for refurbishing.I contacted the seller to see if I could get sent a replacement processor, seeing as I was happy with the rest of the computer. no response. wouldn't even offer a partial refund. I have since purchased an i5 3570s for it, along with an upgraded power supply, an SSD boot drive, and a graphics card for gaming. after a bit of sorting out, it plays games like a dream.despite being messed with by the seller, I am happy with my purchase, and would buy another. just not from the same seller!
