Answer :

Yes. On eBay. The one I am using now. I’m a PC person so it may not help. Decide what you want in a system. Compare new with fewer bells and whistles to older and maybe a little slower. Try to buy from company that resells large groups of corporate computers. If you buy on ebay, take your time and watch—the one I bought, the guy was unloading about 6 a week. Write a list of questions for the seller [things like upgradability, are there any necessary bits not included?etc]. Bids began to go up a bit after a few weeks so I bid and got it at decent priice. Can’t guess everything though. I never thought to ask if the screws in the computer case had been glued in by IT folks and that was a drag to fix.
