    So ive been sick and my pc died a miserable death a few days ago. Only the light turns on with a blank screen. High end lenovo.

    Too sick to choose a good pc right now so was looking foe somthing cheap for a month.


    How is this 85£, i dont get it. Am i missing something? Is it full of viruses sell cheap to steal your data?

    So confusings

    Very old refurbished computers. Has like a $3 processor in it. Early to mid 2000’s technology. It will turn on and let you browse websites but I doubt it would do too much more than that.

    I'm using a desktop that still has Windows XP on it... basic HP model purchased in 2005 I think?

    If mine works.... that win10 should work.

    I would only assume if you bought that PC... it would be wiped clean.... with just the operating system in tact. But you never know what you're going to get???

    If you trying to save some money try newegg(dot)com or dellrefurbished(dot)com
    I just bought my brother a intel i5 for close to $100 and a several months back I got myself
    a i7 for about $180, yes they are refurbished/off lease but work great for what they are
    several years old. the dell site always runs coupons for 30-50% off those prices listed
    just have to keep watching because the cheaper i7s go fast.
    new egg usually has a bunch but cost a more then coupon but less then usual
    Not sure if the ship overseas.

    in the end i bought this

    https://www.amazon.com/Acer-C24-865-...acer+c24865+i5

    its okay, mouse keyboard and sound are horseshit - but i guess thats where they cost cut.

    couldnt really justify paying 1-2k as ive been unlucky

    thats something i wanted... i like value.

    theres only a few places to buy computers here and if you want to look at one before you buy - theres like one chain of stores with a monopoly.
