In today’s fast-paced tech world, it’s always a challenge to keep our IT systems up-to-date without breaking the bank. One of the smartest choices is opting for refurbished hardware, which delivers unbeatable value, reliability, and sustainability. Our team at Bargain Hardware takes pride in offering top-quality refurbished servers, workstations, laptops, and components, helping businesses and consumers meet their IT needs affordably and responsibly.

Key Benefits of Choosing Refurbished IT Hardware for Your Business

1. Cost-Effectiveness

One of the biggest advantages of buying refurbished IT hardware is the significant cost savings. You can expect to save 50% to 90% compared to purchasing new equipment. Our products—sourced from corporate environments and professional lease returns—allow you to access high-performance, business-class IT hardware for a fraction of the cost. This enables companies to invest in premium-quality servers, workstations, and more while staying within budget.

2. Proven Reliability and Rigorous Testing

At Bargain Hardware, every product goes through a comprehensive refurbishment process to ensure maximum reliability and performance. Our process includes several key steps:

  • Cleaning and Grading: All equipment is thoroughly cleaned, with any cosmetic issues addressed before grading (A+, A, or B).
  • Component Testing: We run extensive diagnostics on components like CPUs, RAM, and storage devices to ensure they are fully operational​.
  • Burn-In Testing: We simulate real-world loads to ensure that all systems can handle business-grade performance demands​.

By the time you purchase one of our machines, you can trust that it’s been tested to meet original manufacturer standards. We’re so confident in our process that we back most of our products with a 3-year return-to-base warranty, providing peace of mind to our customers.

3. Environmental Sustainability

One of the key benefits of investing in refurbished IT hardware is the positive impact on the environment. With millions of tonnes of e-waste generated globally each year​, choosing to give tech a new lease of life helps reduce the need for new manufacturing, cutting down on resource consumption and waste.

At Bargain Hardware, we contribute to the circular economy by giving new life to products that would otherwise be discarded. This makes choosing refurbished not only a financially smart decision but also an environmentally responsible one.

4. Access to Premium Business-Class Equipment

Refurbished hardware isn’t limited to outdated consumer models. In fact we focus on business-class products that offer superior durability, reliability, and performance compared to standard consumer-grade devices. These high-end products, such as Dell Optiplex desktops or HP ProLiant servers, are built for demanding business environments​.

By purchasing refurbished versions of these professional models, businesses gain access to premium features—like robust processing power, enhanced security, and durable construction—at a fraction of the cost of buying new.

5. Industry-Leading Warranty and Support

At Bargain Hardware, we stand behind the quality of our refurbished products. Our warranty coverage includes:

  • 3-year return-to-base (RTB) warranty on custom-built servers and workstations (excluding HDDs, SSDs, batteries, and GPUs, which have a 1-year warranty).
  • 1-year RTB warranty for laptops and PCs over £1000, with a 90-day warranty on batteries.
  • 90-day RTB warranty for individual components and non-complete systems.

Our customer support team is also available to assist with any issues via phone, email, and live chat. This means that even though you’re purchasing refurbished hardware, you still receive the same level of support and protection you’d expect with new products​.
