Dell 745 Optiplex Tower Computer (3.2GHz Pentium 4 Processor, 2GB RAM, 160GB SATA Hard Drive, SATA DVDRW/CDRW Optical Drive, Windows XP Professional)

This is a solidly-built, professional looking system that runs fast and quiet. I got mine from EZBuyCafe, where they've pre-installed it with Windows XP and some basic apps to get you going fast without the unnecessary stuff to slow the system down. The built-in NIC works great and I was up and connected to the internet after just plugging in the Ethernet cable from my network gateway device. The only problem I had was with the DVD burner that failed to work properly after just 3 successful burns. But EZbuyCafe's customer service responded quickly and took care of it by offering me credit for a new DVD burner, so I'm glad I bought from them. One additional thing worth mentioning about this product is that it does not have the round (PS2) type jacks for the keyboard and mouse. It only works with USB keyboards & mouse, so make sure you already have a spare, otherwise order from a seller who includes these with the product (read the seller's description carefully to make sure that they will be included).Overall, I am happy with the product despite the problem with the DVD burner. It'll be a cinch to swap-in the new DVD burner once that arrives, as these types of systems are designed to easily replace/add components.

I'm very pleased with the computer.

It’s great to have someone who knows what you want and will help in anyway to be sure you get it.

basic for non-demanding uses. Buyers need to know capabilities - good price to do the simple jobs - I use mine primarily to play and edit audio music and occasional image editing. Vintage (XP) OS, which has its virtues compared to the bloated modern OSs, as it does allow me to use legacy programs. I do not even have it on-line as updates are not supported, but I might get around to loading security to connect it.

I was very iffy about purchasing since I’ve been looking for a windows XP tower and all of the refurbished ones have turned out to be windows 10. I’m very happy with my purchase since description was true and it works great!

It's slower than I like, but for a home file/print server it works fine. I installed Linux on it, added a hardware RAID card, installed 4 1 TB drives, and added another 1GB network card. Now, it functions very well as our firewall as well. There were a few gotchas.First, there weren't enough power connectors to support all the drives /and/ the DVD-RW, so the drive is sitting unused on the top of the box until I figure out a way to get it in. Also, I was expecting a standard 6x7" drive face so that I could insert a RAID hot swap box, because the box appears taller in the picture than it really is. IOW, it's a standard _mini_ tower *not* a _tower_. The photo shows a floppy drive; gratefully mine didn't include one.Overall, I'm satisfied.

This product was purchased for sole use of being a 2000’s era gaming pc. The price was great, and the operating system is working as it should, but the unit had quite a bit of cosmetic damage. Thankfully, I don’t care about such things, as long as the computer does what I need it to do.

Very clean, like new computer. Windows XP is what I wanted for old games. Made for office work. Need to add video DDR2 or 3 card if you plan on gaming with MechWarrior, but they are cheap. Very nice computer and service, shipped promptly with plenty of bubble wrap for protection. Recommend highly.
