PINCH5 code for extra 5% discount
Is this a good deal?
it's ok but beware their "no refund" terms etc etc.
No refund but 30 days warranty
More or less how old is this model,?
~6 years
$140 before code if you can live with a 250GB HDD: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dell-Optiplex-790-SFF-Core-i5-CPU…
That one has no OS, which makes it much worse value.
It has a COA on it so you can dl Windows and install a legit copy yourself.
You can use the 7 key to fresh install 10, and it will still activate.
I wouldn't use the preinstalled OS either, always wipe and fresh install.
eBay listing states:
Postage rates apply ONLY for metro SYDNEY/BRISBANE/MELBOURNE for all other areas please ask for a freight quote.
Can you confirm?
Free postage
pretty sure it was cheaper last time
Do you think it is possible for a full size atx case instead of the sff mini pcie lanes?
Cheers
Doubtful as offices would not be dealing with full size workstations in anywhere near the same numbers as SFF.
With the addition of a graphics card, would this be suitable for playing Steam games?
If not, recommendations?
Probably worth specifying what games you're interested in.
gTA 5?
No. The PSU is propriety and has very little head room to power a graphics card. Probably best if you seek out the manufacturers manual.
Could a gt 1030 fit in this machine? Easy gaming machine to play less intensive titles.
The 8200 has a rated power supply of 240w.. as stated here

If you haven't; already, you'll have to look around the web for other's experiences
I have one of these machines as my homes primary internet/streaming and after a few upgrades it has been great.
SSD for operating system
Win 7 - Win 10
I haven't done yet, but it would benefit from 8gb of ram.
Their internal layout is clean, upgrades are plug and plug, provided you have the leads.
I bought it at Auction and paid a very similar price as listed here, maybe slightly higher, 18 months ago
