The computer arrived very quickly and within the indicated delivery time, since it's summer I'm not surprised. Well packed with soft foam buffers to protect it during shipping. It came with the tower, keyboard, and mouse, wifi dongle, and remote to control the colors on the tower. I cannot tell visually that this is a refurbished pc. It hooked up easily to my tv with my own provided hdmi cable, although, the power cord could be a smidge longer. It powered on with no difficulty and I was able to set up it up quickly. The wifi dongle and remote came in a small package that I nearly misplaced...I'm good at that, but it plugged in and worked immediately. Much smaller than the little antenna things they used to make. It starts up fast and performance is snappy. My son immediately got minecraft downloaded and up and running without issue. I have not checked out the insides, but I'm sure the handle on the side will make it easy to upgrade components if I get any. This is a full size desktop, so not one of those tiny towers. Mine did come with a dvd, I tested it out and it had no issue playing a dvd, so that's awesome. It wasn't in the picture, or advertised, so I don't know if it's just the luck of the draw. Overall, I am quite please with my purchase.
