Comment

After reading the reviews and determining that I would either be fine, or not at all... I decided to take the 50/50 chance of receiving a decent tower. Ordered from Stalliontek along with a 1030 low profile GPU from NewEgg with hopes of using this as my 4K capable living room media PC. I first decided to plug it to a known, working monitor I pulled from my gaming PC set-up. There was NO HDMI port as advertised, nor any HDMI adapter included. Ok.. I read reviews of this happening but no worries as my monitor ALSO takes display port (which the tower had two of) and I was going to use the 1030 GPUs HDMI port when I eventually connected this to my living room TV anyway. While hooking everything up, I smelled the familiar smell of fresh spray paint. Upon further investigation, I saw fresh black spots on the case where someone spray painted it black. Ok, no biggy.... as long as the tower works Im ok with the touched up blemishes. Whelp, after plugging everything in and using the display port from the MOBO to my known working monitor, there was no signal. The PC turned on, but no boot, no bios splash screen nothing. I started, restarted... plugged, unplugged... I tried it all. Figured, well... maybe its the display ports that are bad on the MOBO (I tried both of them). Plugged in my brand spanking new 1030 GPU and used its HDMI port. No luck with that as well. Still no boot, BIOS splash screen.. nadda On top of the MAJOR problem of not booting, there was no HDMI adapter, the case was spray painted AND I was unable to find/locate the windows serial number that a few reviews said was attached to the tower. Upon inspecting the entirety of the case, I also found a poorly removed/scraped previous OS and windows key label. I build gaming PCs, but I took a chance on this one because I received $200 in Amazon gift cards recently which made this a decent buy for me for $199 out of pocket. I will also add that I checked for any loose connections, memory etc that may have come loose in shipping, but came up empty handed. This PC was just DOA. Also worth noting to those interested, there is no additional room on the MOBO for another SATA connection. There are 3 total... one for Disc reader, one for SSD boot drive and one for HDD storage drive. Kudos to the seller for making the return easy at least. So thanks!

Great PC. No issues whatsoever. Thanks to the ssd and 16gb of ram it is very fast and quiet. An outstanding value imho.

So I ordered the listed computer. Read all the reviews and was hoping that I was not going to be one of the customers that did not receive the HDMI adapter. Of course I did not receive it. On top of that the computer once turned on and hooked up right made a loud noise over and over. Given the fact it was late I waited till the next morning to try and install everything. The next morning the computer was making an additional sound on top of the other clicks. Once setup the Windows key did not work. I restarted the computer and after I entered my password the screen would just go black and nothing would happen. I called Amazon and they said they can only help with power problems. With that we did a 3 way call to the manufacturer. After having him look up the product he said that the warranty EXPIRED ON THIS IN 2014! How is that even possible? I literally just received the computer the day before, and on top of that I was shipped what I can only imagine is someone else return as the windows key was already taken. Not sure if this is Amazons fault or the manufacturer. Im lead to believe its Amazons as I would hope the manufacturer would not have computers that have expired warranties on their shelves. I told them I would like to give them a second try and ship me one that has a NEW warranty and with the HDMI adapter, and the Amazon rep told me she could not guarantee that. So basically my only option was to ship back for a refund. BEWARE to all who buy this computer, even if it is working I would still call in and make sure your warranty is not EXPIRED! I have never left a negative review but I feel this was so bad I had to.

This is a great buy, its fast and quiet, my unit had some sticker residue on it and my display port to HDMI adapter was a little faulty, the seller replaced it without question and the residue cleaned off with a little alcohol

I received the PC after a couple days of ordering it. Very quickly. When I opened the box I was amazed how well it was packaged. Could have dropped it off a two-story building that would not have hurt it. The outside of the PC is in very good shape. Open the cover inside was clean. Powered on the PC. Windows 10 Pro was per installed waiting for me to do final setup and login. With windows installed on a SSD drive the system is very fast when logging in and out. When I got the PC it should have included a Wi-Fi adapter and an HDMI adapter which were not included. Within a couple of hours after contacting the seller I was notified that they would be sent out. Received both the next day. I feel if you have a problem with your order the seller will take care of you. That means a lot to me. All in all, very happy with the order and the PC.

Just got it this today. Popped the lid to look inside, everything is tight and in place. No evidence of damage or whatever. Fired it up and started my customizations. So far everything is working fine. The refurbisher did try to paint over some cosmetic scratches and thats fine but what I am interested in is the condition of the system and so far its fine. Its a couple of notches above my current system so looking for performance improvement with heavy lifting tasks. Will come back later to update but so far this seems to be good value over a new system. Update - 4/26/2019 - Have been using now for a few weeks and it seems to be running as expected. My HP desktop that was failing was able to repair (CPU fan blade had splintered and it cleared) so I have two really good systems. Since I am not a gamer, the limitation on the video adaptor doesnt concern me. Since my old system is working again, I can phase in the installation of apps as time permits. I have read the stories of some folks getting DOA units but mine was solid out of the box. I am good.

I bought this particular PC in part because it had a large SSD, and WIFI capability. It was the WIFI that put it over the other PCs advertised as similar on Amazon. Even though it came with virtually no instructions on what to do, I was able to eventually get the thing running and the important apps installed and working, such as email, etc. But, now i have to find and acquire a WIFI access card or something. Its a disappointment. Id be tempted to return it, but, dang it, I live 3,000 miles away from the US land mass in Belize. Returning items is no easy task. Other than that, what can I say? Its a PC, it runs Windows 10 Pro. All the updates installed successfully, and it will work for me for a reasonable amount of money paid out for it. It just rankles me that a simple task, such as making sure the WIFI card (or whatever was supposed to have been included) actually got stuck in the box, couldnt be done right.

As described, timely shipping, easy setup! Blindingly fast (Office use)! GREAT Price! What more can you ask for! I put 5 stars for tech support; not because I used it; but because I didnt have to; SELLER = StallionTek Certified Ive bought a lot of used equipment in my lifetime and pretty much been way satisfied overall; this time I am impressed and very happy with the results! And so is my Wife, as this was a replacement for a speedy machine that died (which I could have fixed, but this was way cheaper and faster alternative! I did not make a mistake! Impressive!

This thing is great. The internals were so clean you would have thought it was brand new. Im well-pleased with my purchase BUT... a few surprises were no SD card reader. Thats a pretty odd thing for a modern computer to be missing. The other thing is this computer is never going to win a beauty contest. She has the heart of a champion but a face youd rather forget. The boxy and plain appearance isnt a big deal if you put it beneath your desk. Tremendous bang for the buck!
