What Buyers Say
Dell OptiPlex 2022, Core i5-6500, 16GB, 512GB SSD + 1TB HDD, GeForce GT 1030, Black
This refurbished gaming PC bundle gets mixed reviews. Many buyers praise the easy setup, included peripherals (RGB keyboard, mouse, headphones, monitor), and good value for kids who play Minecraft, Roblox, or Fortnite. However, a significant number report serious hardware failures within days or weeks—dead power supplies, flickering monitors, and units that simply stop working. Customer service is responsive for some, but others are left with a non-functional computer outside the return window. Overall, it's a gamble: a great starter PC if you get a good unit, but reliability is a major concern.

- Great value for money
- Includes RGB peripherals
- Good for kids' games
- Responsive customer service
Cons
- Hardware failures within days
- Power supply issues
- Monitor flickering problems
- Incompatible monitor cable
- Dented monitor on arrival
