most people who go to frys don't know how to build their own computer, I still can't find the any key and yet I shop at frys (guffaw, i kill me)

They mislabeled it on your machine. They accidentally labeled it "reset".

generally speaking, anything refurbished is about a billion times more likely to break again (that's why the warranties are so short on them). especially so on products with moving parts.

not sure about the computers at frys. i picked up a refurb dell laptop a couple years ago and it worked great. i also believe it had the same 1 year warranty as the new machines, but cost a couple hundred less. so i don't think all refurbs are bad, just make sure you get a decent warranty.

This is not at all true actually. Most refurbished stuff comes with the original guarantee, same as the new stuff. The refurbished stuff has been gone over to fix whatever was wrong originally, so I would say go for a refurb. item if you find the right one for the right price.

I had a Dell refurb for 4 years. It worked good for me.
