5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME
This computer is awesome, i was expecting a flaw since it was only 160 bucks. This is a perfectly good, used computer. The whole hard drive had nothing on it besides the basics on a new computer. 160gb hard drive and a 1gb ram. It has 8 usb ports, which is awesome! Has a mic and speaker jack. The only downside is that older mouses and keyboards aren't compatible with this...

3.0 out of 5 stars Computer, discount
I returned the first and was sent a second unit which I also ended up returning. Vendor backed his product, provide telephone troubleshooting, then reimbursed shipping and refunded without big discussion. I was never able to get them to operate. It is possible that the shipper was less than careful in handling as we noted exterior container (box) damage both times but...

The only downside is that older mouses and keyboards aren't compatible with this computer. They HAVE to be USB. This computer is flawless though. The best 160$ i ever spent. Might i mention, the shipping was free, i ordered it monday at 8:45 and is got here wednesday at 7:00. WOW! fast as hell!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Seller - Turbo Shipment, Excellent Pricing, As Described!, December 30, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dell GX280 Desktop Computer, 3.0GHz (800FSB 1MB CPU Cache), 1GB DDR2 High Performance Memory, AGP Video, Super Fast 160GB SATA Hard Drive, DVDRW/CDRW, Write DVD'S and CD's for Data/Music, Play DVD Movies, Intregrated Nic/Audio, XP Professional (Personal Computers)
Great computer, does all I want of it - make DVDs with Nero, burn CDs, edit photos with Adobe Photoshop, run Microsoft Office applications - Excel, Word, Powerpoint (all pretty heavy duty applications), and allows you to surf the web at the same time. Very satisfied with the PC but I'm exceptionally impressed with the seller - excellent satisfaction guarantee so I could buy with confidence, ultra-fast shipment (received within 48 hours), excellent pricing and an accurate description. Fantastic all around purchase, couldn't be happier. Highly recommended seller, can't ask for better. Thank you and all the best for 2010!

Vendor backed his product, provide telephone troubleshooting, then reimbursed shipping and refunded without big discussion. I was never able to get them to operate. It is possible that the shipper was less than careful in handling as we noted exterior container (box) damage both times but no unit damage. These should have worked. I worked with the vendor to do some rather extensive troubleshooting, but to no avail. Disappointed, moved on, ended up buying a computer locally over the counter. The vendor seemed to give a fair shot, the system worked through Amazon, I lost nothing, just not a successful transaction.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer beware!, November 16, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dell GX280 Desktop Computer, 3.0GHz (800FSB 1MB CPU Cache), 1GB DDR2 High Performance Memory, AGP Video, Super Fast 160GB SATA Hard Drive, DVDRW/CDRW, Write DVD'S and CD's for Data/Music, Play DVD Movies, Intregrated Nic/Audio, XP Professional (Personal Computers)
I ordered this computer just after my computer crashed so I took a chance on a refurbished computer. Unfortunately, the computer did not work at all. It had a crack on the left side and the fan was so loud it drowned out the sound of the television. I contacted the seller (A Plus 100 refurbished), and he agreed that I would return it and receive a newer, more expensive computer. I just had to pay for shipping my broken computer back. Needless to say I never received the computer and the seller hasn't returned my calls/e-mails. Very unprofessional seller. Buyer beware!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dell Desktop Computer GX280, March 26, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dell GX280 Desktop Computer, 3.0GHz (800FSB 1MB CPU Cache), 1GB DDR2 High Performance Memory, AGP Video, Super Fast 160GB SATA Hard Drive, DVDRW/CDRW, Write DVD'S and CD's for Data/Music, Play DVD Movies, Intregrated Nic/Audio, XP Professional (Personal Computers)
This computer is perfect if you have limited room for a desktop. You can lay it down on your desk and put your monitor right on top. The only problems I had with it have nothing to do with the product, only getting it started. I had to purchase a $15.00 keyboard that has a USB port connection as my old Keyboard had the old fashioned pins. I found it strange that it took my old mouse that had a "pin" connection, but not the keyboard. Also when you get it, you get Windows XP Professional completely BARE with only a recycling bin and explorer. That's it! Whatever you put into it is all the computer has, but once you load everything up, it works great. It is a perfect computer if you need a back up or just to get your kids who may need something to do their homework or go online with or if you have limited funds but just want a computer. Sure it maybe short on RAM, (which you may want to consider upgrading it a bit) but all the games and my online hook up to my LINKSYS run smoothly work great. Oh also once you do get online, the Explorer is a bit old so you will be getting TONS of Windows "updates" including an updated Windows Explorer which may take awhile. Also once you do get online, you might definitly want to install Java and Flashplayer. Anyway that is my experience with this computer. All in all, I think it is a great deal!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Computer from a Terrific Amazon Seller, March 3, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dell GX280 Desktop Computer, 3.0GHz (800FSB 1MB CPU Cache), 1GB DDR2 High Performance Memory, AGP Video, Super Fast 160GB SATA Hard Drive, DVDRW/CDRW, Write DVD'S and CD's for Data/Music, Play DVD Movies, Intregrated Nic/Audio, XP Professional (Personal Computers)
My funds are fixed and limited, so I felt it essential that I spend as little as possible while getting everything I needed in a PC. I initially looked at a different PC in my price range and called the seller, EzBuyCafe, to ask their opinion. Steve was unbelievably helpful and pointed me to this Dell GX280 because, unlike my first and more expensive choice, I could use all my old hardware...even a floppy drive for my ancient Mavica! I ended up saving money and EzBuyCafe made less.

Got it and loved it...it was everything I hoped for. Fast, quiet, and played all the videos I hadn't been able to play for years on my old 1998 machine. I had two problems, a serious one of my own making and one not. Steve and Nick fixed both troubles immediately...and most importantly...patiently and pleasantly. I'm no techie and found I was a nervous wreck for nothing. :)

This reinforced my opinion that the most important aspect of buying is choosing the seller. The price, as long as it's comparable and there's not a huge difference, is a lesser matter. In future, I will always buy from EzBuyCafe when I can. You can truly trust their guarantee and good will...I highly recommend them.
