Excellent refurb PC, RAM has been upgraded from 8GB to 16GB, a small but new SSD added, HDD upgraded from 500GB to 2TB (according to Dell's original specs). Nice and clean, SSD properly mounted in an adapator, no visible cosmetic damage, all works fine.
Only minor criticism is that one of the SATA cable has a slightly alarming bend where it attaches to the drive and is squeezed by the case. A SATA cable with a right-angle connector would be better; but it works and after my initial disk drive juggling I don't expect to need to touch it again for a long time, so it's fine really.
Excellent value for money.
However, I would add the warning that like many PCs of this vintage, it only supports Windows up to version 10, which will be unsupported in two years, it will never officially support Windows 11.
This is not a concern for me since I run Linux on it, but if you want a Windows 11 device without any unsupported workarounds, these sort of devices (anything from before 2018 basically) are not suitable.
