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.

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.
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.
