Buying a new comp.. refurbished?

[Azalie]

Alright its time to get me a new comp!!

Right now i have

windows me, ~380MB ram, 25gb HD, 4mb video-card ram-ness whatever, a dying sound card, CDRW, DVD-ROM

and im seriously looking at this one..

it has

Gateway Refurbished Intel Desktop Computer - Intel Pentium D 820 2.8GHz, 1GB DDR2, 320GB SATA HDD, DL DVD±RW, DVD-ROM, Flash Media Reader, TV Tuner, Wireless LAN, Windows XP Media Center

for 400$

ive been looking for a new comp for about 4 years now.. and this looks like an incredible deal to me..

Does it really make a difference if its refurbished or not?

I bought a refurbished laptop.. and it worked fine.. it's finally dying now i think (but its windows 95 still so i understand XD)

so what do you guys think? :3


oh btw: Im using this for..

gaming (not super high games.. but like.. Diablo II, Ragnarok online, second life), Graphics editing (im going to college for graphic art), simple movie making (with windows movie maker 2), web browsing... web development.. (not hosted on this comp), Instant messaging, movies.. stuff like that :3
