      It looks like thee links have info about the same thing.

      You have to have at hard a monitor and keyboard and mopuse. And maybe a printer. Do you already have these items?
       The model you show is a good deal and is more than  enough for most business and home use. With the exception of intense gaming. If l you are deep into gaming, you may be unhappy with the graphic performance.

            If price is a concern and appearance is less important, yu might consider a refurbished computer from one of the major makers if desktop computers.
            The top desktop computers are made by:

            Asus
            Acer
            Apple
            Dell
            HP Inc.
            Lenovo

            The last three Dell, HO and Lenovo have over half of the marker with HP being the leader.  These three companies often sell or lease l large amounts of standard,  ATX and smaller desktop computers. When these become  older and the company wants newer equipment, they are resold to companies that specialize in restoration fd used desktop computers. Microsoft encourages such activity and will license Windows 10 to these refurbishing companies.

            You can find authorized refurbish vendors  on eBay. Look for the ones with a god reputation and have been in business for more than two or three years
            Here is on Dell model, the 755,  I personally like:


            Dell Optiplex 755 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz Win 7 & 17" LCD


            He wants $300, which is on the high side, but it includes a 17 inch LCD monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers. More important, it has a 30 day return policy.
            But you can find others like it. Many with Windows 10 and for less money, but no monitor.
            You can get a video card for the 755 and use two monitors. That is what I do.

            I would not recommend the very small version, the SFF model. It does no have any expansion sots at all. I also have one of them, works, but you can not add anything.
            Here is another link for Dell Optiplex:

            Dell Desktop Computer PC Core 2 Duo WINDOWS 10 + LCD + KB + MS


            This vendor sells for less and offers what looks like the dame thing with options.
            Also, Amazon and Newegg offer refurbished desktops from Dell and HP.

            If you just want a business computer with no frills, I think you should consider a refurbished Desktop with the one year warranty option.

            Lke I said, this is not a gaming PC. You dont get a gaming PC for $300. No yet.

              The dealer has a profile on eBay.
              Part of the profile is verified by eBay, namely the ratings he got from some 35,000 transactions.  He has been registered for five years.
              He ratings are near perfect.  But he does have 57 negative ratings. That is very small compared to the thousands of good ratings he got.
              Here are seven  the negatives:
              "
               a peace of junk.and the company's customer service rep's, are a joke.
               Substituted monitors and claimed "Not in stock" but has many listed for sale!
               does not work and seller wont respond to solution sugesstion
               ITEM DID NOT TURN ON! I question if they actually test them before they ship
               One day after receiving the pc I ordered, it stopped working. Very disappointe
               Garbage !!!! Do not buy from this seller 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
               Seller shipped 3 computers with defective graphics cards. Never buy again.
              "

              source:
              Feedback for user User Member id discountcomputerdepot

              IMO , he did not hire thousands of people to give him positive  reviews.
              In the eBay rating system you do not see who gave the negative ratings.
              But, if  you have doubts, try somebody else.  :)

                soybean,
                Looks good!
                How did you find that deal?
                Anywhere else it would be $50 to $100 more.
