I do not buy computer or computer part refurbs.

Too many things that can be lurking. Did the person run it too hot. Not clean the fans enough. Dropped with micro fracture in the motherboard.

Not worth it. I am assuming there is a warranty so if that covered everything, then maybe I could see taking the chance.
