Perfect for our office

 

We just had 15 of these and really like them. Most of all, we like the cleanness of the machines. It's like a new one. Performance is just what we expected. I could not find any better way to reduce office's budget than getting refurbished desktops....

Ichiban!

 

This is a very good computer. All the features work. It has a DVD drive and floppy drive. Good for real work. It does not talk back and stop. Great price! I have three of them now and no problems at all.

Trouble getting started

 

I think I'm going to like this machine when I finally get the keyboard to work! So far it doesn't recognize the keyboard so I'm stuck. Also, the mouse they provided has the wrong connection so it doesn't work either.
