    No O/S is actually a great way to save money.. No O/S computers can generally save $2-300 off of a computer. OEM versions of Windows are $80-150, so with some patience, you can get a computer $150-200 cheaper and have it without the bloat ware, or many versions of linux are available for free, I use PCLOS, and it's nice.. Dell windows recovery discs are also dirt cheap on Ebay. Just make sure the computer remains to have a Dell COA.. As far as Dell, I don't care for them, but there not bad. As far as Dell auction. They are probably warranty replacement/ repairs ( how Dell works )They will function correctly, and can make a great deal, just keep in mind, there is little warranty.

    OTOH, Dell parts are dirt cheap, and there not that hard to work on. have to have a steady hand with any laptop, but if somthing simple goes wrong ( keyboards are common ) the fix is probably 1/2hr for unexperienced, a few screws and a ribbon connector usually.. Screens and motherboards are where it can get complex, but still doable
