Totally agree on refurbished, IP - if I hadn't been given the Inspiron I've currently got, totally would have bought a refurbished. And had I not messed up the display on my Precision M60 workstation that I bought for under $200 about 4 years ago, I'd still be using that - took a while to start up but once it was humming, ran my 3 monitor set-up just fine. If only that bezel with the power switch hadn't worked loose and inspired me to pop it open to "fix" it.
