Buying a refurbished PC.

[daniel.staszak111003]

Do you guys think it is worth to buy a refurbished computer? Especially if it has a refurbished motherboard, CPU and HDD. Or is it better to buy a new one and spend a little bit more money? I'm scared that buying a refurbished PC will only provide the performance for a short period of time (faults and repairs)...

Depends on who did the refurb.

From the manufacturer? Fine.
From Joe Blow on fleabay? Not fine.
