These are brand new, never used, in original HP boxes. They've only been opened by the reseller to check the parts.

These are ultra small, high quality Intel PCs for sale on Ebay. Has everything you need except an SSD or laptop HDD.
Most everyone has one of those lying around somewhere. There is also no optical drive installed if that matters to you.
You can still buy the original HP slim optical drives on Ebay if you need one. Works best with this HDD adapter tray.
Hard drive caddy tray on Ebay Also get one of these Power/Data Cables if you get the internal HP optical drive.
You can also just plug in an external DVD reader writer via a front USB port.
These are about 80% tool less design. You'd only need a screwdriver to put the hard drive into the tray or
to remove the heatsink. High quality steel with no plastic at all in the case other than the small front panel.
Has a Windows 7 Pro COA sticker on the case. These run Windows 10 very well or you can stay with 7 Pro.
In the orange square you can see a slot where a mini PCI-e card can go. For Wifi you'd need a couple of antennas
and leads attached to the card to pick up a wifi signal since the case is thick steel.
OS X will install but you won't get full HD resolution with the onboard graphics. No QE/CI either.
You can use this HP mini PC to make your Unibeast installer if you don't have a Mac or CustoMac to create one.
See this guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-install-snow-leopard-on-the-hp-elite-8000.180800/
Then you can simply install Windows on it and give it to a friend or family member or resell it to recoup your money.
So if you need a mini Windows PC and a Windows 7 Pro Product key for whatever reason, this is a great deal.
You can make an offer of at least $52 and you should get one if you don't want to pay the $54.99 asking price.
It is easily worth that asking price so don't make low offers (below 50) and expect to get one of these.
Also there is a nice vesa mounting bracket that allows you to put this on the back of your big screen
HDTV if you want to make it a Windows 7 Media center PC. A DP to HDMI adapter will work for a TV.
Here's everything you get in the original HP box: KEYBOARD, MOUSE, VESA MOUNT ELITE 8000, PSU (130W)
Keyboard is very good and worth at least $20.00 itself. It's not like a Mac keyboard, much more key travel.
The two fans are both 60mm in diameter and are relatively noisy more so when you stress the CPU. The good news is that you can replace the CPU fan with a Noctua PWM fan and it will quiet it down significantly. Find them most anywhere that Noctua fans are sold. The model number is: Noctua NF-A6x25 PWM A They sell for $14.95 on Newegg.
Seller's info:
This HP 8000 Ultra-Slim Desktop is new surplus inventory that had been previously purchased for business, and was not used in any capacity. This unit is packaged within its original HP box which was opened to ensure condition, and the packaging will show various signs of exterior wear (e.g. markings, stickers, scuffs, etc). The desktop itself is in original plastic and has never been used and is being sold as a new open box item.
I can verify that these are in new condition as stated above. Not a single scratch, dent or spec of dust in the one that I purchased about a month and a half ago.
