Surplus & Used Desktop Computers

Computer Geeks Discount Outlet - Computer Geeks is the place to shop for both barebone and pre-built desktop computers at rock-bottom prices. Click Refurbished Desktops to go straight to their systems page. By the way, Geeks is known for their great customer service.

Half.com (by eBay) - Similar to an auction site in that the seller can be anybody in the United States, but prices are fixed. The selection is quite large, and some prices are incredibly low. (See our Used Computer Auctions category.) Half.com has now been incorporated into eBay's main Web site. To see Half.com (i.e. non-auction) products, look for the Buy It Now icons.

TigerDirect.com - Sells both new and refurbished desktop computers, not much surplus. (Tiger's parts are mostly brand new.) Good selection to choose from at low prices. Click RECERTIFIED on the site's navigation bar (along the top) to see Tiger's refurbished computers.

Dell Outlet - Refurbished Dell desktops sold by Dell themselves are great systems with good warranties. But we downgraded them by one star because their prices tend to run a bit on the high side. If clicking on the Dell Outlet link takes you to the Dell Home page instead, click REFURBISHED SYSTEMS on their navigation bar (along the very top) to go to the Dell Outlet.

Overstock.com - Offers some of the lowest prices on a large selection of desktop computers. Sells both surplus and refurbished systems. Overstock.com also sells electronics, digital cameras, and other goods at deeply discounted prices.

Amazon.com Used Systems - Decent prices on a moderate selection of older used desktops. But, of course, you get the great customer service Amazon is famous for.
