I get the weekly circular from Micro Center delivered to my physical mail box (About the only thing in there these days), and I am always eager to see what kinds of deals/specials Micro Center has going on. And did I find a good one this week.
For $249, you can get a refurbished HP Compaq desktop PC with a 320 GB Hard drive, 3GB of RAM, a AMD Athlon X2 processor, bundled with Windows Vista Home Premium. BYOM (Bring Your Own Monitor.) The PC is eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. The only reason it is under the category “Refurbished” is because it has Windows Vista on it. They are brand new machines. And HP is willing to send you a free upgrade.
I picked one up. I could not resist. The specs on the machine aren’t half bad and the price for one is a steal! This is a perfect example of the deals that Micro Center has to offer. I do a lot of shopping at Micro Center. Sometimes, their deals are just too good to pass up and their customer service isn’t half bad.

Hello Danny,
Thank you for the great write up. I would like to clarify that the units in question are re-manufactured by the manufacturer. The biggest difference in these refurbished units and brand new units is the warranty. The refurbished units have a 90 days parts and labor warranty from the manufacturer, a new unit has a one year parts and labor warranty from the manufacturer. If there are any addisional questions you can reach me via Twitter/mccustrel or direct e-mail custrel@microcenter.com
Thanks,
Al
