Compaq Evo desktops are not as easy to find as they used to be. Compaq Evo used to be one of the lowest-priced line of desktops Compaq had to offer, however Hewlett-Packard/Compaq has not manufactured new Compaq Evo desktop models for quite some time. That leaves refurbished desktops as the only Compaq Evo option available and there aren't that many on the market. The cheapest refurbished Compaq Evo desktop is more than suitable for basic computing requirements such as surfing the internet, checking and sending email, listening to and burning CDs, and downloading or saving a reasonable amount of files. Refurbished Compaq Evo desktops are targeted at consumers who have basic desktop computing needs. Evo desktops are a solid fit for people interested in buying an older style of refurbished Compaq desktop. The refurbished Compaq Evo desktop models currently available typically include Intel Celeron or Pentium 4 processors, 256 MB system memory, 20 GB hard drive capacity, CD-ROM, and Windows 2000 or XP.
