i have been purchasing these lenovo used desktops for the past 7 years and hands down they are the best deal you can get on the market. there are three main price ranges, low, medium and high. this would fall under a medium price range for the refurbished lenovo desktops. they have warranty and get certain parts replaced from lenovo before it is sent out to you. i will always buy lenovo desktops for the rest of my career. they will be dell and HP anyday. i once had a call center with 22 of these pc's running 24/7 non stop besides the usual restarts for windows updates and only one or two have failed me for the 5 years they ran. they are built to last and build to out perform any other brand on the market. as for gaming, i couldnt tell you how good they are. i wouldnt expect them to be great because they dont have any external GPU cards but they can be added quite easily. just remember you need any GPU that is low-profile compatable and that has a fan on board. i have had some heat issues with ones that were passively heated.
