Review 1 for HP Refurbished Black DC5800 Desktop PC with Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4GB Memory, 1TB Hard Drive and Windows 7 Professional (Monitor Not Included)
Joysystems does NOT supply a recovery CD for Windows 7 Pro 64bit like the description USE to say. For under $300 I would say this is one monster of a computer! However, things to keep in mind if you are buying and planning on upgrading: This is an ITX computer so if you are planning on switching to a tower you are very limited because the I/O is on the right side not the left like ATX motherboards. There are some HP DC series towers that you can find or the Dell Optiplex that will work. The power supply in this proprietary platform is a 240W and if you are wanting to add a graphics card they usually recommend atleast 300W that won't fit this case (hence the need for a tower). The LGA775 socket CPU can be upgraded to 3.33Ghz Core 2 Duo or 3.00Ghz Quad Core, the 4GBs of DDR 2 800Mhz memory can be upgraded to 16GB but you can not go up to the 1333Mhz, if you add a graphics card you will want a Nvidia low profile pci card, you can add a 3.5inch Memory card reader, I would like to add a pci-e adaptor and put in a mini pci-e WIFI/Bluetooth card from a laptop... The LightScribe DVD/CD burner is nice, I would've liked a DVI port installed (graphics card will give me that or one can be installed (low profile!)), and the 1TB hard drive is big. If you want to do a few small upgrades go for it because all in all if you want it for what it is it is a good buy. If you want to do bigger upgrades you may want something else?

Review 2 for HP Refurbished Black DC5800 Desktop PC with Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4GB Memory, 1TB Hard Drive and Windows 7 Professional (Monitor Not Included)
A lot for the money. Loads insanely fast compared to my Satellite. No limit to open windows. Doesn't slow it down. Good disc drive. Internet works fine on ethernet. Knew it had no wireless card, but watch out for no SD reader. Just means another twenty-dollar peripheral on the desk. I'd give it five except for that. Pin-connector or USB for monitor. Cover snaps off easily. Fair amount of room inside. Runs quiet and cool. Also got immediate response from their service for a minor cable problem.

Review 3 for HP Refurbished Black DC5800 Desktop PC with Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4GB Memory, 1TB Hard Drive and Windows 7 Professional (Monitor Not Included)
When comparing the price of a new computer,warranty etc vs Refurbished computer with the same warranty and options your better going with the refurbished. You save over half of what a new compter would cost

Review 4 for HP Refurbished Black DC5800 Desktop PC with Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4GB Memory, 1TB Hard Drive and Windows 7 Professional (Monitor Not Included)
I have not been able to find low-cost programs to replace my old programs. In the meantime, I'm able to use my old programs which will work with Windows 7 Professional (they do not work with Windows 7). This computer buys me time to find new programs. The computer was VERY easy to set up, as well as adding my programs, printers, etc. to it.

Review 5 for HP Refurbished Black DC5800 Desktop PC with Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4GB Memory, 1TB Hard Drive and Windows 7 Professional (Monitor Not Included)
All of it works great has awesome speeds, everything runs smooth , would never know it was refurbished, ha works better than my dell ever did ...all of the data from my last computer was recovered, it is just a sliver of the space i have...so not much worry about running out of space. Like how easy windows 7 is too, no complaints at all, very happy with my purchase!

Review 9 for HP Refurbished Black DC5800 Desktop PC with Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4GB Memory, 1TB Hard Drive and Windows 7 Professional (Monitor Not Included)
The PC arrived sooner than projected and was very easy to set up. It has worked perfectly so far (a few weeks).

I found this computer to be everything I had hoped for and more. You can't beat the price on this one plus it was delivered to my door a day ahead of schedule.

Review 11 for HP Refurbished Black DC5800 Desktop PC with Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4GB Memory, 1TB Hard Drive and Windows 7 Professional (Monitor Not Included)
The computer is a solid workstation, not the most speed in the market but very good deal for the price not only for the hardware but also b/c it has included Win 7 pro.

Review 13 for HP Refurbished Black DC5800 Desktop PC with Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4GB Memory, 1TB Hard Drive and Windows 7 Professional (Monitor Not Included)
Functions well but it doesn't have a lot of the usual HP bells and whistles.

Review 14 for HP Refurbished Black DC5800 Desktop PC with Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4GB Memory, 1TB Hard Drive and Windows 7 Professional (Monitor Not Included)
What a disappointment!!! I got the PC on time but when I tried to interface it to the monitor the VGA port didn't work. I tried this PC on 3 LCD screen - I guess I was trying to convince myself that the problem was not the PC. Anyway, the following day I returned the PC to Walmart for a refund.
