IBM 8215 3.0GHz 2048MB 500GB DVDRW XP Home Desktop PC (Refurbished)

I was looking for a decent enough desktop that I could just use for low power tasks and this is perfect! It is fast and it does not come with all the unnecessary baggage programs that a lot of PCs come with. The DVDRW is also very fast. There are speakers integrated into the desktop, which was a bonus that I wasn't expecting. The form factor is relatively small too! I can't remark on the keyboard/mouse, I had my own already and don't plan on using the ones that came with the desktop. My only complaint is that the video card is very underpowered and there is lagging even if you want to do some light 3D modeling or play 1080p HD video streaming from the internet. However, I bought this knowing that the desktop came with an old integrated video card, so it's not a biggie. I think that there are some expansion slots within the desktop that will allow me to upgrade to a standalone video card, though, which I may wind up doing. Overall, even if I have to upgrade the video card, I think this is a great deal! On an additional note, I'm typing this on the desktop now and it's been on for about a week non stop and is still running smoothly :) No freezing!

bought as a gift for a friend. Todate she is very happy with performance. Let's just hope she enjoys many more years of happy computing.

For the price it's a great value. No problems so far.

The CPU came in perfect condition, but the keyboards and mouse were so cheap that the keyboard's plastic keypad came off. We bought 3 sets of these computers. When starting up, we found out that some of the hardware weren't connected within the CPU, so had to connect it manually. Spent about 30 minutes to figure that out and start the computer. So far the computers are working excellent. No complaints after that!
