@grey I he meant refurbished, in like-new condition.
It's a bit confusing. They are actually not used. But often have been tested.

Hard to believe that they would have brand new servers sitting in a warehouse for 5+ years. Would be good it someone from XByte could clarify.
They've clarified often. They never handle used gear.

The way that refurb Dell gear works is that it is still new, but has been passed through a customer, has had a box opened, been returned on a deal with changed specs, etc. It's not legally new, but not used, either.

From their website --
This means that many of the refurbished machines sold by xByte Technologies are not just refurbished, they’ve never been in production. Often times with a refurbished server, you receive the benefit of never used equipment at a significant cost savings by taking advantage of the realities of made to order manufacturing.
Unlike you, they use the words "many" and "often" instead of "never". But it's good to know that most of their stuff is the equivalent of brand new.

I'm quoting them not their website. They've posted and talked about this a lot, including just at MangoCon. They don't sell used Dell.

Just ordered an R510 from them with 32g ram, eight 3tb drives and a pair of 2.13ghz processors. This will replace my 2950 (still running!!) with 16g ram, six 1tb drives with a pair of processors that are dreadful.

Which one? The 2950 or the R510?
