I needed an XP machine to run some old software and use that as an excuse to dust off some old strategy games for nostalgia. This was surprisingly the most well packed refurbed PC setup I've ever seen. Most refurbed tech is usually haphazardly tossed into a box with some bubble wrap or packing peanuts at best. Not this package. This setup was like buying a new PC. Everything was spaced apart and well protected with properly sized foam inserts. I was amazed (and thankful) that someone would actually take the time to pack this used old stuff with so much care. Monitor and PC itself were obviously older hardware. Some light scuffs here and there in inconspicuous places, but function flawlessly. Mouse and keyboard were actually brand new generic house brand parts in boxes. Much better than hoping old ones would work properly. Cables were used with a couple having some dust on them. No big deal. Everything worked together well after figuring out which USB ports they agreed with. No funny smells or loose stuff rattling around. Just a great experience all around. Bought some cheap speakers to finish off the setup and it's doing well several months later. Note - I did not disassemble the PC or dig into the files to see what all has been done as some reviews stated the Internet capabilities had been disabled. It's doing well for me as is and I don't have a need to connect it to a router.
