244489 2004-06-15 00:16:00 Anyone out there had any experience with refurbished systems from vendors? I've been looking at refurbished Dell systems at www1.us.dell.com

Looks like the saving is about 30% on the equivalent brand new system.

Typically I guess these will be systems that have been returned under warranty and fixed (we hope).

I wonder what they do with returns in NZ?

A trip down to the scrap dealer would be an eye-opener,Theose that have the contracts for the brands in NZ have huge stock piles of retuned junk,Last time i looked i would have estimated $300 000 of rubbish,huge containers of harddrives,motherboards and everything else.

I didn't ask for a price.

Ah well, at least it saves me having to make a risky decision.
