Review on Refurbished HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF Slim Business Desktop PC, Intel Core 💻 i5 up to 3.50GHz, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, DVD, USB 3.0, Windows 10 Pro 64-bit by Paul Monzon

I bought 3 of these machines for a kubernetes cluster for my home lab. Ubuntu 18.04 installs on everyone from a USB stick in less than 5 minutes. No problems with drivers or unknown devices. no failed HW errors in /ver/log/syslog. No major scratches/dents. Case is easy to open. Easy access to installed SSD and memory slots. Two of the computers had very cheap plastic-cased SSDs installed. The screws were tightened enough to crack the SSD case and snap off the threaded mount on the SSD. The bracket on the plastic case was removed from the case and not unscrewed. I had to destroy one of the SSDs to get a very important mounting screw for the new drives. Each of them had to have a processor with a frequency of 3.5 GHz. cat /proc/cpuinfo shows I didn't get what I paid for on two machines. It's not that big of a problem forcing me to send them back, but it annoys me a little.
