cedarpc thiers nothing like it..if you need to dealshop at the moment
pcrecycler is based in DC but operations are in Chantilly VA..beatup
computers are a hassle I brought a everex from cedarpc for two hundred
bucks it ran Google os ..it worked but the problem I think with. these
stores like cedarpc and microcenter is you never really sure if it
refub or new.I love these store but..I want the truth about the
computer I don't mind if it is refub just tell me instead of telling
me its new and package ..fix it up and sell it to me new the carfax of
computers microcenter if you ask they have their database but  they
don't try to tell people about it..refub database some people know of
it but some don't   know of it.what they had in inventory was shocking
dam good deals..I got ahold of  a old inspiron. I gave to  a friend
put 20 dollars worth of ram harddrive and freedos works just fine
