With some of out tax return money, we bought a refurbished Dell Inspiron 530 desktop, from the Dell Outlet store, with Windows Vista Home Premium and 2GB of RAM. We took the free shipping and expected it in 5 days. It arrived in 3 days.

It's 2.20GHz Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor is very snappy. Almost as quick as my MacBook in my wife's simple test against Webkinz World website. I know, unscientific, but since it will be my wife's primary machine, any benchmark that makes her happy makes me happy.
