Anyone buy an ebay refurbished computer?

[crazy4wdracer]

I'm just wondering if anyone on here has had any experience with a rufurbished computer from ebay? I don't know much about computers, mine just took a crap a couple days ago. And since these are pretty much blank comps how the heck do I install IE or Firefox? (Probably a dumb question)

This is the one I'm looking at:
1 cheap Dell Desktop PC P4 2.0ghz 512MB 40gb computer - eBay (item 170413281564 end time Dec-01-09 16:27:01 PST)

well i have 2 friends that both bought one. the one bought a mac an it still runs this day an the other bought a hp an it died a few weeks later. so all i can say is that its a 50/50 i guess from what my friends say

I wouldn't buy one from ebay. But I think its buy.com who has real good deals on refurbished computers.
