Why Buy a Refurbished Pc?
Why buy a refurbished PC? The quick answer is price. But we realise the term “refurbished” conjures up images of out-of date and undesirable PC equipment. So we wanted to clear up a few myths and explain why buying refurbished PCs from Europc is a great way to get brand name IT equipment for less.
What is “refurbished”?
Unlike many preconceptions, refurbished PCs aren’t second-hand. They can be excess, fully factory refurbished, as new or cancelled orders straight from the factory, packed and boxed – the same as the units on the shelves of your local PC store or in a manufacturer’s warehouse.
More often than not, refurbished machines are PCs that were returned by the original customer simply because they changed their mind. Moreover, chain stores, for example, may return items unsold if they need to clear space for new stock. However, the minute they leave the manufacturer’s warehouse, they can no longer be sold as new. So companies such as Dell, sell these to us directly.
Not only are the systems tested, repaired, checked and repackaged just like new, but they’re not far off new when Europc puts them back on sale. They are mainly current product or not more than six months old.
The benefits of refurbished
The most obvious benefit of purchasing refurbished equipment is the lower cost. The savings made allow customers to replace, expand or upgrade their IT equipment more often, letting them take advantage of the rapid advancements in PC technology, keeping them up to date and ahead of everyone else.
Moreover, by purchasing from a company like Europc, you are offered a more personalised service, than you would receive elsewhere as we provide all customers with their own personal account manager.

Some Myths About Refurbished PCs Dispelled
Myth: Refurbished goods could be faulty
Truth: Many refurbs will have been returned by the original customer. But only a limited number of returned units ever had a fault in the first place, and if there was one, it’ll have been fixed - that’s what refurbishment is all about. After being returned, the product will have been tested, repaired (where necessary), retested and repacked. Insiders tell us that refurb units are actually less likely than new kit to go wrong, because they’ve passed more tests.
Myth: Refurbs are products of obscure origin
Truth: The biggest players in the computer market are increasingly supplying the largest numbers of refurbished units. Names like Dell, Fujitsu Siemens, HP and Toshiba are easy to find. Myth: You don’t have the same rights as usual
Truth: Yes, you do. You may be offered a shorter warranty (though 12 months is still possible), and minor cosmetic flaws, such as small scratches, are less likely to be considered grounds for a refund, though they’re still not the norm. Beyond that, consumer law doesn’t care whether you buy brand new or refurbished, and you can expect a good standard of customer service.
Myth: Refurbished computers are out of date
Truth: You can certainly pick up older machines for incredibly low prices, but most refurbished PCs are very recent or still current models. It’s not at all unusual to find huge discounts on exactly the same products that are on the shelves right now. That’s what makes buying refurbished such a useful way to make your cash go further.

Frequently Asked Questions...
For computer guru's only. Computer won't boot and proccessor fan spins out of control?
I am an IT pro so I did all the usual stuff to get this old dell to boot. It is an optiplex 280 with the pentium 4 processor. I tried reseating the ram to no avail. Tried with everything disconnected from the motherboard to get this thing to give me a beep code at least. The power supply tested good on all voltages. Tried clearing the cmos. I tried booting with out the cmos. I tried everything I can think of. This is happening to the original motherboard and now the replacement also. Could the Bios be corrupt. my boss seems to think it is over heated but that doesn't seem right to me. even an overheated machine will post. We also haven't seen any bad capacitors on either motherboard.
Answer:
I agree with Zobair. Could be a processor fan rpm sensor. Also make sure its plugged in to the proper socket on the mobo. I've been known to make this mistake a couple times.
