HP Compaq dc7900 Desktop PC - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz, 3GB DDR2, 500GB HDD, DVD-ROM, Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, Mouse & Keyboard (Off-Lease)


USD $259.99

Look at the website more closely. You'll see separate machines listed as "refurbished" or "off lease". At least for Tiger Direct, off lease does NOT mean refurbished. It just means "used", and there's no indication of how heavily used.

Also, it's been my experience that for any given configuration of HW components, any Compaq computer will run between 25% and 33% slower than other brands with the same specs. Don't know why it is, but it's true.
