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 — i5-3470 4GB 250GB HDD, No OS

The HP Compaq Elite 8300 Small Form Factor is a proven, business-grade desktop built around Intel's 3rd Gen Core i5-3470 processor. With 4GB DDR3 RAM, a 250GB HDD, DVD-RW drive, and DisplayPort output, it ships with no operating system installed — making it ideal for Linux deployments, corporate volume-licence rollouts, or re-imaging with your own OS. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

  • Intel i5-3470 Quad-Core: 3.2GHz base (3.6GHz turbo) with 4 cores handles everyday office workloads, web browsing, and document work reliably.
  • No OS — Your Choice of System: Ships clean with no operating system. Install Linux, deploy Windows via your corporate licence, or use a free imaging solution.
  • DVD-RW Optical Drive Included: Install OS directly from disc — no USB boot key required. The optical drive also handles data discs and media playback.
  • Dual Monitor Support: DisplayPort and VGA outputs allow simultaneous dual-monitor setups for increased productivity.
  • Expandable to 16GB RAM: Current 4GB DDR3 is enough for basic use — drop in additional DIMMs to extend the life of the machine as needs grow.
  • Compact SFF Footprint: Standard small form factor fits under a desk or in a server room without taking up full-tower space.

Performance in Use

The i5-3470 is a four-core Ivy Bridge processor — a solid workhorse for document work, spreadsheets, basic web browsing, and line-of-business applications. It won't compete with modern processors on raw speed, but for organisations that need a reliable, manageable desktop at a low price point, the 8300 SFF has proven durability and broad driver support across most modern Linux distributions and Windows versions.

With 4GB of DDR3 RAM the unit is best suited to single-user, task-focused workloads. Upgrading to 8GB is inexpensive and keeps the machine viable for longer. The 250GB HDD provides ample storage for most office use; the M.2 slot (where present) or SATA bay can accommodate an SSD upgrade if faster boot times are a priority.

Connectivity is practical: dual monitor support via DisplayPort + VGA, front USB 2.0 for peripherals, rear USB 3.0 for fast storage, and a standard RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port. The DVD-RW drive remains useful for OS installs from disc, burning backups, and accessing legacy media.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this come with Windows installed?

No — this unit ships with no operating system installed. You will need to install your own OS. It is compatible with Windows 10, Windows 11 (with a TPM upgrade), and most Linux distributions including Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Debian.

Can I install Windows using the DVD drive?

Yes — the DVD-RW drive is fully functional and can be used to boot from a Windows or Linux installation disc. You can also boot from a USB drive if preferred.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?

Yes — the 8300 SFF supports up to 16GB DDR3 across 4 x DIMM slots. The 250GB HDD can be replaced with a SATA SSD for faster performance. Both upgrades are straightforward.

Does this support dual monitors?

Yes — there is one DisplayPort output and one VGA output, allowing you to run two monitors simultaneously. A DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter can be used if needed.

What are the shipping arrangements?

This unit ships as a freight item. Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.

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.
