You can buy cheap used computers at garage sales, on eBay, on Craigslist, and lots of other places. But do you really know what you are getting? Are you just inheriting someone else's problems? Is the computer infected with malware? Is the software up to date and running well. Are there hardware problems? Are there hidden problems you don't know about? Does the seller even know about them?

Don't buy someone else's problems. Spend just a little more and get a computer that has been fully and professionally checked out and refurbished, and comes with a limited warranty, including a 3-day return policy.

All used computers offered for sale by Affordable Technical Solutions receive a complete tune-up. They have been thoroughly checked. Major hardware components (motherboard, RAM, hard drive) are extensively tested with professional self-booting diagnostics. Hard drives have been cleaned and refomatted. The operating system has been reloaded from scratch by using either "factory restore" or Windows installation disks, guaranteeing that the system is free from viruses and other malware. Factory-preinstalled junk programs such as trialware and other 'bloatware' have been removed and Windows settings have been optimized for best performance. Antivirus / Security software and essential utilities have been preinstalled for you. All computers are Internet-ready. System software backup disks are available.

When you purchase a used computer from Affordable Technical Solutions, what you are really buying is service and peace of mind. In many cases, you are getting a computer for less than the complete tune-up service would cost if you brought in the computer for service. Essentially, you are getting the computer hardware for free!
