Thank goodness I'm pretty good with desktop hardware. When I buy a desktop I try to buy the best motherboard and processor I can afford with the ability to upgrade RAM and other stuff later, like adding cards for extra USB ports or wireless capabilities, a new drive, etc. It keeps the price down but allows me to improve what we have as I can afford to add it. The only time I ever bought a complete desktop system was back in the 90's when I bought my first computer. Since then I only buy what we need to replace. I keep keyboards, mice, monitors, speakers and printers (all-in-ones) until they are worn out or broken. Then I replace them. I only wish I had the same skills with laptops! Sherri Thanks James,

You can get good well loved units or abused units which is on its last legs. If you did not treat your computer well, then it is better to get a new low end computer since it is much cheaper. Re use the monitor and you can save quite a bit Refurbished desktops or laptops are not a good idea unless you really know about computers.
