I get them from Newegg. They are great. Check out the seller and who did the refurb.

But I've never had a problem. Great deals. Great computers.

I never get a warranty, but all mine have lasted (this one is 4 years old and still perfect). My other one is fine, I retired it because I wanted something faster. So, I never needed a repair.
