I decided to take a chance on this refurbished computer since it was so cheap, and I am impressed!  If you are just using this for basic home use such as internet surfing, email etc. and need to replace an aging or failing unit, it will do everything you need it to do. Just keep in mind a couple of things, it does not come with a monitor, and it uses an analog connection for your monitor, no DVI connection. Keeping that in mind, it is a great value!
