EDIT: 5/30/2019: Replaced the DVD Rom drive that came with this computer with a CD/DVD/RW drive from my old computer and the 160GB drive with the 640GB drive from my old system. Putting Windows 10 on it was real easy now that Windows allows you to make a recovery drive on a USB flash stick. This system is real easy to replace components.
Anybody can do it.
Original Review below:
Received the Dell Optiplex 780 computer today. It was very well packed and when I took it out of the box, I inspected the insides and it looked like it came fresh off the assembly line. Nice refurbishing job. Shipping was fast too.
Powering it up for the first time, it took Windows 10 a LONG time to boot. But, that happens with any fresh install of Windows. It takes forever the first time you start it. After that, it doesn't take long at all to start. I expected that.
Activating Windows 10 was pretty easy too, except trying to read the SMALL string of numbers and letters on the case sticker you need to enter during the activation process. I also expected that. But activation was a snap.
Once I got the niceties of starting the computer for the first time and activating Windows 10, I got to see how it handles. It's a pretty speedy machine. Overall, much faster than the aging Acer Aspire that I am replacing this unit with. Seems very stable so far. And adding my external hard drive, webcam, and other accessories to the USB ports were a breeze. Overall, this is a great machine for the money.
But, why not 5 stars instead of 4, you may ask? I'll tell you.
1st, the advertisement is for an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.9GHz Processor. When I checked the hardware, it was actually an Intel Core Quad CPU 2.66GHz Processor. Not a deal breaker, and no big deal to me, but I expect to have the CPU advertised, and not a slower one. That in of itself would not have knocked the star off the raiting.
But the big thing that did was the CD/DVD drive. When I went to install the WIFI dongle, I had to install the drivers from the included CD. Fair enough. But, when I pushed the button to open the CD drive, the door was jammed! It was only after several atteempts that I gave it a thump with my hand, that it finally opened. And opening/closing it shows it jams more often than opening on it's own without a a thump to the case. If this system is 100% "refurbished", then someone screwed the pooch royally during QA testing. That drive should have been rejected during refurbishing outright.
Now, I'm NOT saying don't buy this system. Outside of those two quirks, this is a very capable machine and Windows 10 runs smooth and quick, and overall setup is a breeze. Had this machine been given a 2.9 GHz processor and not a 2.6 GHZ, and not had the intermediate jamming of the CD/DVD drive door, this would have easily rated a 5 stars with me.
Would I buy this machine again? Sure. But next time, I'll choose another seller who'll make sure the CPU is at advertised speed and with a CD/DVD door that doesn't jam.

Would I buy this machine again? Sure. But next time, I'll choose another seller who'll make sure the CPU is at advertised speed and with a CD/DVD door that doesn't jam.
Here's what I got:
A computer-sized cardboard box.
A Dell computer, as advertised, packed neatly within said box.
A power cable.
Two sheets of paper detailing warranty information and some information re: Blair Technology Group.
A bunch of black foam packing rectangles.
The computer itself is in excellent shape and arrived with a USB Wi-Fi adapter plugged into the back. Considering this model is most likely a retired office computer, I'm not surprised it doesn't have a Wi-Fi chip plugged into the motherboard. It would've relied solely on an ethernet cable in its previous life. This doesn't bother me, personally, and the USB receiver I got is pretty fast!
The cable reaches far enough for most applications. There are some 'feet' on the side of the case, so you can stand it up or lay it down.
After backing up files from my old machine, I plugged this thing in and it started right up - very quick! The setup process was much faster than I had anticipated - I couldn't take coffee breaks in between screens before the next thing was ready to go. A nice touch I've noticed is that the username on this computer was actually already set to my name. Checking the system tab revealed the specs are all as promised - except the hard drive I got is actually 256GB instead of 160GB. Can't complain about that!
This computer is now my daily driver and I also use it for indie game development. Downloading Android Studio and updating the SDK is something that took hours on my old machine - getting it set up on this took less than thirty minutes, so the hard drive and USB Wi-Fi adapter are both exceptional performers. The hardware on this machine is pretty decent and could certainly be used for light gaming if you're into retro or indie titles. It can't run Forza 7 or anything super intensive, but Hyper Light Drifter, Iconoclasts and Saving Princess 1 and 2 all run with no hiccups whatsoever. Half-Life 2 runs great on this, too, so you're not too limited, just realize you won't be running Crysis on max settings.
I read almost all of the 100+ reviews on this computer and I was sketched out at first, and noticed a few users claimed issues with their Windows 10 product key being no good. Fortunately I didn't run into that, Windows recognized my account and everything is sync'd up with no issues.
Overall I'm very pleased with this, to say the least. What you get for $90-100 is a PC that runs Windows 10 with some respectable specs.
If it burns my house down, you can expect me to be back here amending this with an angry rant on my smartphone, but for now, it was an excellent choice.
