Desktop Computers - Used Computers Work Just As Well

By Matthew Kerridge

Used desktop computers aren't always old systems that are ready for their grave. Computers that have been refurbished and recertified also fall under this used category. Those computers are considered used as well because they aren't new from the factory. They do, in most cases, have brand new components that have been installed to get them back in working condition.

A desktop that has been both recertified and refurbished has been given a thorough look over and the problems that were found have all been fixed. After the system has been completely repaired it is then placed back for sale with a warranty guaranteeing it does in fact work. When looking to buy used models you should always choose refurbished ones because they are the safest purchase you can make in this category.

You can find a variety of shops online that sell these refurbished desktops at low prices. All of these systems have been thoroughly checked and are just like new. In most cases you can find a great computer for as cheap as $200.

Just a few of the top manufacturer names you will find when looking for these refurbished systems are names like Dell, Sony and Compaq. To find them all you have to do is get online and look.

Another thing you will usually find on these websites is OEM versions of various Windows Operating Systems. These versions are generally cheap to get your hands on and work just the same as long as you know how to install them yourself, which isn't hard.

Sometimes, though, we just can't find the system that we had our hopes up for. In these cases you might consider buying an additional CD drive that you like and installing it yourself. If you don't know how, ask around among our friends and you are sure to find at least one of them that can do it for you for almost nothing.

If your purpose for getting a new computer is just simply for things like sending emails, listening to music or watching movies you are probably not going to have to spend a fortune for a system that will allow you to do that. It is always a lot cheaper to get a used computer in instances such as this. You will be able to do these things just as well on a used system as you would on a new, more expensive one. Plus, you can take the money you saved and invest in cool additions later on if you choose to do so. - 30431
