I'm just wondering if anybody has ever bought a reconditioned computer from either Cash Converter or Cash Generator and if so, were you happy in an overall sense with your purchase?

Was it meant for someone else?
I've had some useful and helpful replies, including yours, which will help me in that decision.

their reburbishment involves deleting personal files , deleting user profiles if possible , removing passwords or if there is a restore partition then defaulting the whole thing
then a wipe over
possible replacing missing keyboard keys or low cost damaged parts

In this case, changing the HDD for a SSD and putting the HDD into an inexpensive caddy would be recommended, as I would recommend a clean install of the OS to the SSD. It wouldn't be a reinstall of Vista.0 -
A new SSD and more memory will cost more than some of these machines sell for :eek:0

I found the stuff they do sell costs so much cheaper if I buy it from the original store, brand new, unused and boxed.:A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A

I quoted £50 for the upgrade. So show us machine that sells for £50.0 -
Where can you buy an SSD of a decent size and a chunk of memory for £50?
A 240gb SSD is in the region of £60, and 16gb ram is £80 odd.0 -
My parents bought a Dell from Cash Converters, admittedly this was approx 15 years ago. It was stolen by a security guard from a local company which was only discovered when my mum rang Dell about obtaining a disk or something (I forget now).
Apparently CC weren't exactly helpful with the police when it came to tracking who had sold it in the first place.0 -

Hence their nickname Crack ConvertersScience isn't exact, it's only confidence within limits.0
