Refurbed PCs from Takealot -- anyone tried one?

Cool... got a link? Cant find it.

Go to the link he posted, then select the 256GB - I would personally go for the 512GB though.

Whereabouts are you? You're only looking for 8GB of DDR3 now, so maybe one of the members here can help you out.

Refurbed is basically secondhand. I'd rather get something off Carbonite/Gumtree/BidOrBuy and it will more than likely be cheaper.

Been struggling to buy a laptop off of Carbonite for a few months now. Always the same people buying up all the good ones, in short time after it was posted. Think they're the guys doing the refurbishing and reselling. I mean, why would the same people buy so many.
Maybe there is some money to be made like this....mmmm

Yep, happens the same with phones there too. There's a select few that buy from carb then resell on BoB at a higher price.

That's why us poor folk, can't have nothing...

Anyone bought one of those refurbed PCs from Takealot? I may need to replace my tower as its over 10 years old and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them. There are quite a few Dells and they have new SSDs in them.

Here's an example: https://www.takealot.com/dell-optip...ktop-pc-8gb-ram-240gb-ssd-refurb/PLID69408407

The company I work for buys a lot of these machines, they seem to work fine for office tasks.

GPU and SSD
Get a 256 SSD and install your OS and main apps on it. Keep the old HDD for general storage and data:

The Team drives at @Wootware Computers are cheaper
