[RndTbl] Looking for a used computer to upgrade a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz

[Adam Thompson]

I continue to recommend buying from www.dellrefurbished.ca (formerly dfsdirect.ca) and getting the extended warranty.
I prefer to buy Latitude laptops, Optiplex desktops, or Precision anythings, because those business models tend to be much more durable, and docking stations are available (cheap!) for the laptops.
Prices won't be the absolute best, but quality of the equipment has been good so far.
