I just bought it for precisely same reason. Already have laptop, iphone and iMac...

But seriously, if you took my comments in a normal manner rather than reading everything as offensive (OK, I admit subsequently doing a couple of wind ups but didn't start that way) I was actually trying to give you some tips because as you know, in my experiences and that of colleagues and friends, refurbed / 2nd hand computers sound like a bargain but often if you're patient / shop around buying a new one is not only not too far away in price, but also far cheaper in the long run (with a longer guarantee).

Trouble with refurbed ones is that you're never quite sure which bits are refurbed and which aren't. I would take one but only at a hideously low price.
