Like a used car, you get a better deal. No different from this desktop. As a refurb, it did have a couple of scoffs in the face plate & missing 2 of the rubber feet. Those could be bought from a hardware store & stuck on. HP EliteDesk 800 G1 was originally released in June 2013. Regardless, this PC smokes. A major step up replacing my other dinosaur hit by lightning. Shopped around, read reviews on all sites of the same model & hands down, this was the best. Most other were much less RAM, HDDs, earlier processers. This one does come with a 1TB SSD, Core i7 processor, RAM maxed out with 32GB of DDR3-PC3-12800 800MHz memory. No site ever includes deep ram info. And Windows 10 Pro.Read people complaining it didn't have WiFi. Read the description, it says that. MST did include a dual band USB adapter. Nice touch but can only handle 54MBps download speed. I connected with ethernet cable. They also included a keyboard & mouse which said was not included. USB 3.0 ports are 2 front, 2 back. USB 2.0 are 2 front, 4 back. Has 2 display ports, guessing for dual monitors? I got the MDMI adaptor which works fine & cheaper than another graphics card.  Has DVD-RW but no software. Load your own. Read the warranty information as well. 30 days from Amazon. There is a "void warranty" sticker on the side panel if you open it.The unit powered right up. Windows walks you through the set up & was on in no time. Comes with NO bloat software, just basic bones. Took no time to run the Windows update. Loaded ant-virus & a little program CPU-Z to see what's actually loaded on it. Ran for 3 days online. Extremely quiet. Then brought it to my tech shop to install the SSD from the dead PC. He liked the specs of this unit. Another friend has already purchased the same deal from MST on Amazon. It's a nice upgrade if replacing a much older PC.
