I need just a desktop. Can one of you recommend something in the $200.00 to $300.00 range on Newegg. The refurbished ones  are reasonably priced, they worth taking a chance on? I need it for Microsoft Office and surfing the web, no gaming.

I know that's not much budget, I could go a little higher if needed. I have no clue what to look for in computer these days, except Windows 7 from reading here.

Thanks

This is a fine choice for an office / facebook machine.

Awesome, at that price I may be able to get a decent sized monitor to go with it.

Thanks!

I just bought a pair of Acer 20" flat panels at Best Buy for $79.99 each.  There are deals to be had (and dual displays ROCK!! ).

Aye... they do.

Once you go dual, you'll NEVER go back.

Wow, glad to hear you got it so quickly!

Not sure why your copy of Office won't load.  If you need that type of software, but don't want to spend the money on a current version look at Libre Office.  

It's a free software package that offers most of the functionality of Microsoft Office (word processor, spreadsheet, powerpoint, etc) and is compatible with MS Office files.
