Optiplex GX780 Small Form Factor - 400GB HDD, 4GB Ram, DVD-Rom, 17in LCD Monitor, Windows XP Professional (Renewed)

**A Perfect Retro Gaming Setup**I recently added this PC to my showroom, and it has exceeded every expectation. Right out of the box, it arrived impeccably packaged, ready to power up without a hitch. Its pristine, nearly new appearance enhances the aesthetic of my retro gaming display, making it a fitting centerpiece for showcasing the best titles of the era.Performance-wise, this setup is absolutely ideal for classic gaming (with graphic card upgrade). Whether running older titles or handling showcase demonstrations, it delivers smooth, reliable performance that stays true to the intended experience. The out-of-the-box readiness ensures minimal hassle, allowing for an effortless plug-and-play setup.If you’re looking for a system that merges nostalgic appeal with seamless functionality, this PC is a perfect choice. It not only complements a retro gaming collection but also provides a reliable, authentic experience—exactly what enthusiasts appreciate.

The set up of this PC went without a problem. I set up a USB soundbar and a USB microphone quite easily.The old cd-roms have worked with only one, so far, having to be enabled in compatibility mode.I think that I could add a wi-fi dongle to get to the internet, but I am not going to try that option because this is for my grandchildren to use without the distraction of YouTube, and other web destinations plus there is no security from viruses etc. I used a flash drive to add mp3s. At first I had to use the included classic media player (which I set as the default Media player) to play them because Windows Media Player required validation which would have necessitated an internet connection. Then, a day or so later, quite unexpectedly, Windows Media Player became fully operational. How that happened is a mystery to me. There is an included program called Open Office 4.1 that has full functionality when compared with Microsoft Word.I have connected a Bluetooth dongle so that we have options for pairing with other Bluetooth devices.The kids love this, so, mission accomplished.

Needed a XP format to run Legacy photo manipulation software. The new windows platform will not run this, but this system that I ordered was fabulous! Had way more memory than I needed, and also ram! I received the order one day early, and was flabbergasted when I opened the box, it was a brand new monitor, brand new keyboard, brand new mouse, brand new wireless USB adapter. The machine came on the first time and hasn't had any hiccups. I am just so thrilled to be able to run this software and not have to buy a $1,000 system. I would highly recommend anyone that's on the fence to go ahead and bite the bullet and buy this. The computer was cleaner than any new computer that I have ever bought. The outside had a few scratches, but someone had went to the trouble to put some type of plastic coating or Armor All to give it a beautiful shine, and cover the few scratches that it had. Thank you for having a Avenue for people like me, that need the old formats to run Legacy software, but get such a great bargain and have basically a brand new system!!!

I needed an XP machine to run some old software and use that as an excuse to dust off some old strategy games for nostalgia. This was surprisingly the most well packed refurbed PC setup I've ever seen. Most refurbed tech is usually haphazardly tossed into a box with some bubble wrap or packing peanuts at best. Not this package. This setup was like buying a new PC. Everything was spaced apart and well protected with properly sized foam inserts. I was amazed (and thankful) that someone would actually take the time to pack this used old stuff with so much care. Monitor and PC itself were obviously older hardware. Some light scuffs here and there in inconspicuous places, but function flawlessly. Mouse and keyboard were actually brand new generic house brand parts in boxes. Much better than hoping old ones would work properly. Cables were used with a couple having some dust on them. No big deal. Everything worked together well after figuring out which USB ports they agreed with. No funny smells or loose stuff rattling around. Just a great experience all around. Bought some cheap speakers to finish off the setup and it's doing well several months later. Note - I did not disassemble the PC or dig into the files to see what all has been done as some reviews stated the Internet capabilities had been disabled. It's doing well for me as is and I don't have a need to connect it to a router.

The item was ok physically at first sight and the packing showed caring and professionalism. However, the tower contained no ingestion of Windows XP whatsoever and this was not clear to me when I made the purchase. I also had a Windows Disk which did not load which made the equipment entirely useless to me. The monitor looked fine but I had a better one from my previous setup and the same was true with the keyboard and the mouse.I do not suggest any intention to decieve on the part of the honorable company. I simply needed a computer which could provide Windows XP which could assist with my large library of docs from 2006 to the present date from my legal practice. What I received could not fit the bill.I have made a second purchase from Amazon of a Windows XP tower which promises that Windows XP is fully loaded together with other software which will aid me.Thank you.

Arrived quickly, everything in good working order. Was able to install all my old games which is why I bought it.

Perfect in all respects

I thought that it came with ddr4 sdram and i have bought ddr4 to upgrade and it didn't match the sdram slott. So i gave it a 4star.
