1.We only choose the newest and fastest used computers for the CPO Program.

2.These computers are then completely wiped of all previous data and programs assuring they are all clean as well as virus & parasite FREE.

3.ALL hardware is then disassembled and each part is tested and any hardware that is weak or failing is removed and replaced.

4.After all the hardware is quality-checked, the machine is reassembled, retested and "burned in" - This process effectively "remanufactures" your new CPO computer.

5.In the last step, the CPO computer receives its new operating system, in most cases the operating system is Microsoft Windows XP; you will receive the COA sticker on your CPO computer as well as the original disks and documentation. This software retails for $139.95 by itself not including installation (NEVER buy a used computer with Windows installed unless you have the license (COA), media and documentation!)

6.Finally, your CPO computer is backed by Action Computers' ONE YEAR PARTS & LABOR WARRANTY! Many mail order and big box stores only warranty their NEW computers for 90 days and when you do need warranty service, you often need to mail it to them, after LONG phone calls to mostly overseas operators!

All this, combined with our unbeatable prices and industry-leading customer service, is the reason why many customers are saying: "An Action Computers Certified Pre-Owned PC is BETTER than a new computer!"
