I bought a "refurbished", ex-demo machine from PC World. When I opened it, it was a horror story. The components were all reasonable quality for the price, but it looked like they'd literally just thrown them into the case, and hoped for the best. One of the spare power cables from the PSU was even hanging down, and rubbing against the CPU fan as it span.

I stripped it down and rebuilt it, never given me a problem since.
