    ^ It's all that a lot of people need so why should they pay 3X as much? I know a lot of people who just want to keep the system they already have running, one that's little to no faster than this, but then it breaks and they take it to somebody to fix and the bill is easily over $105.

    Put it up for sale on the local college campus bulletin board or craigslist, though such a system is worth less from a local seller due to the uncertainty of (albeit brief) warranty and hassles of dealing with an individual seller versus a major merchant, and not knowing what kind of alterations were made to it versus these presumably being 100% original OEM stock config.

    It also instills a little confidence to the avg. person that they presume it's refurbished by someone who is held up to some kind of standards doing so instead of just somebody who hopefully wiped the HDD and did a clean OS install, maybe not even cleaning the cobwebs out.

    On the other hand, buying an OEM unit that has a proprietary PSU can be more trouble and/or expense down the road. The PSU is likely the first component to fail and you might or might not, when the time comes, find a cheap pull for sale on
    ebay
    or
    Amazon.

    Why on earth would you do that unless it was broken?

    Surely you could find some needy family, donate it to Goodwill, or put it up in the free section of Craigslist before adding it to a landfill... while we're all here viewing webpages with our faster systems running at 3% utilization, lol.
