Update: Had the first one replaced, the second one still did not come with a HDMI cable, the RBG lights work, but the computer shuts off after about 5 minutes regardless of what you are doing on it.
Did not come with HDMI cable for the monitor as it states it does, it is not factory new as it states. The refurbished excellent criteria does not mean anything, the tower RGB lights do not work.

This unit is up and running now once I sorted out the monitor cable issue. It ought not to be an issue but it is and not just for me.
For this particular unit, the male-to-male HDMI cable as provided by Amazon here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014I8T0YQ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title solved the issue for under 10 dollars.
I had no idea the full Windows 10 package was included which is nice. Everything ramped up smoothly and runs very well so there is no drama in that department.
Amazon ought to take the initiative to put together a cable manual for newbies telling in comic book form which cable goes with what hardware and software. It would save a lot of customers wasted time and money, thereby building customer loyalty.

I’ve had let downs with refurbished products before, but you cannot beat this tower for the price. I got it because my computer couldn’t handle the gaming I wanted to do (I mainly play Phasmophobia). With full resolutions and highest graphic settings in the game, it runs seamlessly even with other programs running (like using VC in Discord). I highly recommend this one, it’s great for my gaming and my work.

Said it would be here in 3 days, it arrived in 2. Good start.
Let’s get it out of the way, what is the deal with the lights? There’s a remote (no instructions) to turn them off, but they rise from the grave on their own… Annoying. Maybe I’ll look for the jumper inside the case.
So now we have the tedious and often painful task of beating a new Windows desktop into submission, which I have done once or twice in my career as a network and desktop engineer. I retired just before Covid, so it was a rather nostalgic experience, applying Windows updates, searching for C++ libraries… Nostalgia is an interesting word, I believe it literally means “our pain.” Though I miss my work, I was reminded of some of the reasons I retired. In the end, no issues my sneakernet can’t handle.
As an engineer, I am extremely picky about my desktop. Most users will still need to do quite a few updates, but most should be handled by Windows Update. Eventually. Any build issues are on the vendor who configured the out-of-the-box image. While that image is out of date (2019?), software issues can be worked out.
The hardware is a joy. I worked with Dells almost exclusively for the last half of my career, loving every minute of it. I bought a refurb, but aside from the idiot lights, you can’t tell it from new. Good job. I’m not keeping up with industry hardware, so I have no idea how good the SSD drive is (we usually used Western Digital SATA drives), it came with an NVidia GeForce card that will support BG3 and does indeed have a SATA controller if you wanted to add storage. I know it’s a refurb and the Optiplex 7020 cost way more when it debuted, but I am still amazed at how much hardware I got for pennies.
Biggest drawback for non-tech users is probably the dated image. You MAY need someone tech savvy to stop over for coffee and nudge your machine in the right direction, but if you let it sit for several days, occasionally rebooting to install updates, you’ll probably be OK.

Bought it for my 12 years old, now he can run games he wasn’t able to on his old laptop. One month in use, no issues so far.

Just as described. i received a clean product, all components good. After a month using it, I have had no problems. Excellent for low-medium requirements games.

I purchased this to run emulators. I’ve only had it a couple days but it works great. Out of the box it had a few dings but not too bad. The keyboard and mouse are….cheap and feel like it. They work, but neither feel durable. The most disappointing thing was the wifi adapter. VERY cheap and SLOWWWWW. I went out and purchased a faster adapter and that fixed it. I think for the money it’s fine. Time will tell. So far I’m pleased.

The computer arrived very quickly and within the indicated delivery time, since it’s summer I’m not surprised. Well packed with soft foam buffers to protect it during shipping. It came with the tower, keyboard, and mouse, wifi dongle, and remote to control the colors on the tower. I cannot tell visually that this is a refurbished pc. It hooked up easily to my tv with my own provided hdmi cable, although, the power cord could be a smidge longer. It powered on with no difficulty and I was able to set up it up quickly. The wifi dongle and remote came in a small package that I nearly misplaced…I’m good at that, but it plugged in and worked immediately. Much smaller than the little antenna things they used to make. It starts up fast and performance is snappy. My son immediately got minecraft downloaded and up and running without issue. I have not checked out the insides, but I’m sure the handle on the side will make it easy to upgrade components if I get any. This is a full size desktop, so not one of those tiny towers. Mine did come with a dvd, I tested it out and it had no issue playing a dvd, so that’s awesome. It wasn’t in the picture, or advertised, so I don’t know if it’s just the luck of the draw. Overall, I am quite please with my purchase.

I’ve had this pc for 2 years it has never given any problems and any game I wanted to play it ran flawlessly. I had my doubts especially with the main game I played, which was fortnite. It can run fortnite at 80-130 fps easily pubs but 160fps in creative. Good starter pc

This PC works great when I could turn it on. It took so much to fix the ignition of the power button. Somehow the contact was too short and I would have to hold the power button in to use it. Was very difficult to fix.
