No more refurbished computers for me!

Thought I'd try my luck with a restored computer for the first time. The features and price were too tempting for me, so I decided to give it a try. Well, after trying this, I don't think I'll be buying refurbished computers again. I will say that the seller returned my money quickly, so they have it. But everything else was very bad. The computer was shipped without a power cord. Luckily I still had one from my old computer. Then I tried to connect my HDMI monitor but there are no HDMI ports! Okay, so it took me a while to figure out that there is an adapter, just thrown free in the box that I could easily throw away, that converts DisplayPort outputs (I had to look for) to HDMI, and there is just one, and it's fidgety and it sticks out a ton at the back when you're connected with an HDMI cable. Pooh. So I connect an HDMI monitor, connect a mouse/keyboard and turn it on. It starts with the windows setup and then gets to the network setup part. Writes that there is no Wi-Fi network card and I need to connect an ethernet cable. I don't have any of these where I want to put my computer. I would have to run a cable from the router upstairs. In fact, I was having it with this computer at that moment. I was willing to ignore other minor issues but oh well! After the Wi-Fi card incident, I decided not to waste any more time looking for new surprises with this computer. Unfortunately it was too good to be true. Don't waste your time with these guys!
