The computer fired right up and has been working well. I haven't pushed it too hard yet but seems as expected.The only negative is that the tower looks like it was tossed down a flight of stairs (only slight exaggeration). it had been resurfaced in black contact paper?! ... I peeled it off as it looked wonky and under the paper were a series of very deep scratches and gouges... then on the front plastic face i noticed a series of long deep impressions as if it had been impacted by something (or several somethings).Practically speaking... I don't really care how it looks... but am a bit concerned if the hardware inside the case was in anyway compromised from its previous rough treatment (I assume all this aesthetic damage occurred previous to its refurbishment and will also assume that everything inside the tower meets spec. and is good to go.Also... on that note... the listing stated: "(Renewed) (New)"... I get "renewed" but "new" is quite an exaggeration itself!All that said... this machine seems to work great and got me out of a pinch... so all good!Shipping was lightning-fast (Thank you!)The packing was excellent!If it runs for a year I feel like it will be well worth the outlay.
