I bought a used Dell computer at ASU Surplus many years back. The motherboard didn’t work, so it was quite cheap.

I got the s/n and looked on Dell’s site to check the details on the machine. When they purchased it, they got a 3-year warranty on it, and there was still a few months left. So I contacted the ASU Purchasing Dept and had to show them the receipt that I bought the computer, and she went online with Dell and registered that it was sold to me. Then I filed a warranty claim and they replaced the motherboard for free!

You might check into the warranty status before you buy these.

Well, westech 1?probably won't ship purchases to where I live (Florida) <still waiting to hear from them> so the university of florida auctions are likely the best bet. HOw do these specs sound:
  • Brand: Dell Optiplex 7040
  • Processor: i7-6700 @3.4ghz
  • RAM Memory:8gb
  • Hard Drive:500gb
  • CD-RW/DVD-RW Optical Drive
  • W23-22468
  • W24-01618
  • W24-02885

What are the w23 and 24s?
I probably should pop new power supplies in them and ssds and all will be good.
the processor is much faster than the 1.10 ghz celron they have in their present computers.
