    The computer arrived as promised, intact. It was set up by Brian O'Dell. Brian did an excellent job and was very helpful to seniors who are behind the techie curve. My wife Sandy is delighted with her new Dell 3030. She feels she is back on the internet in real time. We are so pleased, I bought an HP TE01-5354 to replace my aging Acer Aspire. Brian is scheduled for set up next week.

    I got the product at said date and time. The computer was work like new and it looks new to me. A great way to save money. It works great and I've had it for 10 days so far. I would buy another open box product from Best Buy.

    A great buy. I use it for working from home and am very pleased with the performance. I also like the smaller, compact tower since it doesn’t take up as much room on my desk.

    Bought an open box unit that was in excellent condition. The open box discount made this a good value. I've had luck with other Dell PCs and the Dell manuals can be better than other brands. Replaced the SSD with a new SSD on which to install Linux. (I have not used the Windows install as yet.) The original SSD was M.2 2230, but I got a M.2 2280. The motherboard has screw holes for both lengths, but when changing length, a small adapter on the one screw hole needs to be moved to the other. Added a 8T 3.5" disk. The manual says a max of 2T, which is the largest that Dell provides, but 8T seems fine. A short SATA cable and a power connection are available in the tower, but 4 screws are required to install the disk. The 8GB memory is probably fine for many users, but I plan to get more for my needs.

    This is the Desktop for anyone who is bewildered, bothered and bamboozled by computer everything! It is familiar, easy to use, and ( as an 80 plus year old), I am grateful to Dell for not forcing me to become "tech savvy"

    The Dell Inspiron 3030 desktop is great! The only issues I ran into was my monitor was out of date as well and setting up my printer was also problematic. However, once I was able to have the Geek Squad come out and troubleshoot my printer everything is great again!
