THIS ITEM IS AN OFF-LEASE PRODUCT -
SAVE RESOURCES AND SAVE GREEN
The term "Off-Lease" refers to a product that has been leased to, and used by, a customer, then returned to the leasing agent at the end of the lease period (typically 2 to 3 years). The leasing agent, or their third-party partner, inspects, repairs (if necessary), cleans, re-packages, and then offers the product for sale as "Off-Lease". Although we only purchase and sell the highest grade off-lease products some items will show signs of use, including minor scratches, slight wear on keyboards, etc. Purchasing off lease product saves you money, creates less waste and saves the resources that would be required to produce new products. If saving money and resources is important to you and you are not concerned with minor wear you should consider purchasing off-lease. Off lease products carry limited warranties through the original leasing agent or their third party refurbisher. See below for warranty details.

Mine works fine. Fast, clean, no problems. However I discovered that if you add 2GB memory, like others have done, BIOS recognizes it, but the OS only recognizes 3GB. This is documented on the mfr web site. Probably not a big deal for XP anyway. Vista might be more of an issue.
Too good to be true! They are garbage!

I'm a network engineer and am very technical. I bought one of these to replace an aging PC tower for my father.
The first one seemed ok at first but after 3-4 days it suddenly went from being fast and fine to slow, then started to hang, and finally blue-screened. After that, it wouldn't boot anymore. Clearly a hardware issue and hopefully just bad luck.
The second unit had other issues. First, whomever packed the box did a poor job. The mouse was CRUSHED at the bottom. I've got extra mice so this alone wouldn't be a big deal. But then, the keyboard wouldn't work with certain keys, like
The computer I use for almost everything now!

Fits most of the description of the machine I was looking for. Would have liked a recordable DVD drive and maybe some more RAM (an extra 2GB might solve some minor problems), but for $250 US this machine is perfect for what I'm doing right now (job hunting and balancing books - know anyone who's hiring?)! Great machine for the money!!

I received my IBM 8215 with a few scratches on the top cover and no rubber feet. I couldn't get the refurbished XP software to load the serial number, the screen said no hard drive found, I had to plug the hard drive cable back in. Afterwards it worked, the cooling fans are quite and it loads up pretty fast. I would say it's reliable heavy duty computer, That's why I like it.
Compact and quiet

Needed another computer but I wanted to stay with Windows XT. Gave the IBM Thinkcenter off-lease machine a try. I am very happy!. Machine has a small 'footprint' for a desktop unit. This machine is VERY quiet. I have since added 2 additional gb of ram and access was quick and easy. I also added a card reader. CD tray sticks before completely closing and needs a 'nudge' before disc will read. Set-up instructions were very basic, even still, I was online without any problems. When I have an extra minute I will lube dvd tray rails with a swab, but the issue does not cause me any concern. This unit is a great value.
