Frequently asked questions

What does the warranty cover?

Our warranty covers all hardware faults, but please note it doesn’t cover accidental damage or software issues. However, we’re here to help with technical support for those matters!

What is a refurbished device?

A refurbished device is a pre-owned item that has been restored to meet high-quality standards. At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.

Unlike used items, which lack guarantees and rely solely on the seller's word regarding condition, refurbished devices come with assurance of quality and reliability.

Description

HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF — Intel Core i5-3470 3rd Gen Desktop PC

The HP Compaq Elite 8300 Small Form Factor desktop packs an Intel Core i5-3470 3rd Gen quad-core processor with 4GB DDR3 RAM and a 500GB HDD into a compact chassis. This unit includes a DVD-RW optical drive and ships with no OS installed — ready for your preferred operating system. A 12-month Reboot IT warranty is included.

Key Benefits

  • Intel Core i5-3470 3rd Gen: Quad-core Ivy Bridge processor running at 3.2–3.6 GHz provides sufficient performance for office productivity, web browsing, point-of-sale systems, and basic business applications.
  • 4GB DDR3 RAM: Adequate working memory for lightweight operating systems and business productivity applications. The unit supports up to 16GB DDR3 across its DIMM slots for future upgrade.
  • 500GB HDD Storage: Mechanical hard drive provides plenty of capacity for documents, software, and data storage in everyday office and business use.
  • DVD-RW Optical Drive: Built-in DVD read/write drive supports optical media playback, data backup, and OS installation from disc — useful for users deploying from physical media.
  • No OS Included: Ships without an operating system, making it flexible for buyers who want to install their own Windows licence, Linux distribution, or custom business software image.
  • Small Form Factor Chassis: Compact SFF design takes up minimal desk or shelf space, making it suitable for reception desks, compact workstations, point-of-sale, and space-constrained environments.

Performance in Use

The Compaq Elite 8300 SFF is a practical choice for buyers looking for a reliable, budget-friendly desktop for light productivity or specialist use cases. The i5-3470 quad-core processor handles web browsing, Microsoft 365, and standard business software without difficulty, while the 500GB HDD provides ample storage for documents and applications. The DVD-RW drive is a genuine advantage for teams that still work with physical media or need to install operating systems and software from disc.

With no OS pre-installed, this machine is ideal for IT departments deploying a custom image, businesses with volume licence agreements for Windows, or buyers installing Linux for specific workloads. The Q77 chipset platform is mature and well-supported across major operating systems including Windows 10, Windows 11 (via compatibility bypass), Ubuntu, Debian, and similar distributions.

The SFF form factor occupies roughly the same space as a standard office telephone, sitting comfortably on or beside a desk without dominating the workspace. This makes the 8300 SFF a solid option for reception counters, point-of-sale configurations, and shared workstations where physical footprint matters.

All-in-one Solution for Home Office

I was looking for an in-expensive all-in-one solution for my home office to replace my existing desktop and monitor. I found this EliteOne 800 on reboot IT for under $200. I wasn't sure what to expect. It arrived within two days!!!! I upgraded the RAM, replaced the HDD and installed Windows 11. This is unbeatable value and was the cheapest price online. Coupled with a 3-month warranty, Reboot IT are by far the best online refurbished retailer I have used. Awesome!

Fair tech for price

Fair tech for price, good specs for era, serves the purpose. The black keyboard is an interesting rubber like texture clearly by design to pad the screen and avoid the keyboard touching. Screen is great. Still looking for magic formula to enable computer use in the bright bright sunshine. Keyboard taps are loud for someone who likes silent touch. The perfect PC has to exist, like build a bear.

Works excellently as advertised.

The laptop was sold with a warning about worn keycaps. In fact they had been obviously vandalised (ex school laptops, perhaps?). The keyboard worked fine, and the rest of the laptop too. I'm using it as a file server, so I don't need the keyboard much. So very pleased, and also pleased with reboot-it's service - as always, excellent, and quick responses to any queries.
