AMD A6-5400b CPU @ 3.6ghz with AMD Radeon

Here is what to know:

These machines come from businesses that have retired them.  Many businesses will discard perfectly working machines for several reasons (but limited to...):

1. Warranty has expired
2. The operating system is being phased out and it is easier to replace the machine vs. upgrade (aka Windows 7 being replaced by Windows 10)
3. Accounting, the fixed asset has been depreciated

Often times these machines still have plenty of life yet to give.  When I get computers that I deem worthy to live another life; the data from the previous user is securely wiped clean with no chance of previous data being recovered.  Then install the operating system that the machine is licensed for by hand, install necessary drivers, and updates.  Doing these tedious steps gives the machine a good work out and any hardware issues will be reviled. So at the time of refurbishing, I can in good conscious give them a clean bill of health. 

These machines do NOT have 3rd party Anti Virus software nor Microsoft office, or any other licensed software.  I cannot legally install these, even if the computer used to have such software on them.  Microsoft Office for instance costs something like $300!   One needs to provide your own software.  If money is a concern, there are several free anti-virus programs out there like AVG.  I also recommend Open Office as a free alternative to Microsoft; it has a similar look and feel and has 95% of the same capability.

These are not intended gaming machines.  They might work find for a game you have in mind.  We are talking about roughly 3~6 year old machines with usually built-in/on-board video cards.  While they work just fine to play most games, don't buy one thing they will play the latest VR shoot-em-up game that requires a really high frame rate.

I am not a computer business!  I sell a few machines here and there as a hobby.  I am not making money at this, if the goal was make money, I'd be better off getting a 2nd job flipping burgers. I'd rather see these perfectly good machines be put to work than recycled; and save people a few bucks at the same time.  That being said, I cannot be your tech support. 

Monitor is NOT included!!!!  The picture shows a sample machined hooked up to a 32" LED TV.
