The computer arrived very quickly. I was surprised at how well it was packed. Perfect! This is an amazing buy. The IBM computer is fast, quiet, and built like a tank. I'm extremely happy with this purchase. Overstock.com~ you have done it again! Thank You!

this was the best deal for a familiy computer. the only problem was the onboard ethernet drivers didn't work so we put in our own ethernet card and was online in seconds. also added a video card and now the kids can play all their games. i have seen others spends so much on so called "deals" from the big names just to have problem after problem. i am now telling everyone i know to shop here first.

The disk drive connector cable came loose during shipping so when I first set up the computer I was greeted by "No Operating System Found" errors. Tried to install an O/S, only to see "No disk drive found" errors. Major panic - especially because I was past the 30-day return period. Not to worry -- Overstock.com tech support talked me through checking and re-seating the disk drive connection, and it's been smooth sailing ever since. This refurbished computer is fast and powerful, and I haven't had any problems removing the few bits of software that were installed. And it *did* come with Windows XP installed, one of the few must-have features I was looking for.

A friend pointed this item out to me because she knew I was in the market for a new PC. This was about $100 more that the computer I was planning on getting, but it's a much, much better machine. My only complaint, if it could even be called a complaint, is that there was so little RAM. I bought additional RAM at the same time I got the computer (but not from Overstock!) and installed it at the same time I set up the computer. I'm very happy with the computer - it's built like a tank, easy to use, fast (very fast!). A minor annoyance is that the two USB ports in the front are spaced/sized so that only regular USB cords can be plugged in. You can't use a card reader or flashdrive easily. You can get around this by buying an USB multiport hub (for about $10) or an USB extension cord (for about the same price). Other than those little things, I'm very happy and glad I spent the extra $100. Shipping was great - I had the package on my front step before Overstock even sent the email saying that it had been shipped.
