    Dell refurbished laptops... safe buy?

    Thanks guys! My price range is pretty much $399 or less.... but I'd prefer $375 range. Screen size would probably be 15.6" or 14.0. The ultrabooks are too small. I've been eyeing an Inspiron 15 for $399, but I wanted to check to see if I could potentially find a better model refurbished.

    AX1200 Fan Direction: Does it blow into the PSU?

    I have the AX1800... mine does not have coil whine, but I did have another unit that had horrible coil whine (it was RMA'd shortly after I got it) Corsair was great and they sent me a replacement before I even sent the PSU out to them. You should try getting in touch with them.

    Please help with Windows 7 not booting

    Thanks for the sympathy and backup advice. I've never used those... but now I'm definitely considering in the future. I actually had most of my important stuff on other drives... its just the nightmare of reinstalling programs and preferences... and updating, etc. That is the big hassle for me.

    Would you buy a refurbished monitor from Dell?

    I was looking into getting a Dell U2412M as a secondary monitor. I was wondering if anyone has had experiences with Dell refurbished models. Does it mean I'm likely to get a monitor that's been sent back because of dead pixels? Would I really be playing the monitor lottery? Just looking...
