I believe Dell have made an error in their listing by naming it the Inspiron '5675', the correct model number should be 5680. Don't think anyone has received their order from the last deal as the shipping dates were for late Feb-Mar, but this deal is back for those who missed out on the previous deal.

Specs;

  • Intel® Core™ i7 8700 (6-Core/12-Thread, 12MB Cache, up to 4.6GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
  • Windows 10 Home (64bit) English
  • 16GB DDR4 at 2400MHz
  • 256GB M.2 SATA SSD (Boot) + 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s (Storage)
  • NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1070 with 8GB GDDR5
  • Dell Multimedia Keyboard KB216 Black (English)
  • Dell Optical Mouse MS116 Black

Update 21/2: 250 more units added, expiry removed.

Another deal for the slightly lower spec'd 1060 version;

Dell Inspiron Gaming Desktop 5680 i7-8700 | 2TB+128GB | 16GB DDR4 | GTX 1060 $1479.20 Shipped @ Dell eBay

Specs;

  • Intel® Core™ i7 8700 (6-Core/12-Thread, 12MB Cache, up to 4.6GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)

  • 16GB DDR4 at 2400MHz
  • 128GB M.2 SATA SSD (Boot) + 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s (Storage)

    This is a bargain, I've been searching for a new gaming PC and got this email this morning too.
    Just bought it!

    How would this perform as an HTPC?

    • garethds on 20/02/2018 - 10:26

      It would be a great HTPC, its rather large, but if you can hide it, it would work well. The 1070 graphics card can run Netflix and kodi at 4K with ease. Also would be able to run a VR headset (HTC vive, etc).

    • Letrico on 20/02/2018 - 10:31

      It will perform too good to be HTPC. This is better as your desktop rather used for HTPC

    • nereus on 20/02/2018 - 10:35
      +2

      Might be a bit over powered as just a HTPC but if you do the occasional gaming as well this would be good. Otherwise got for something that won't eat as much wattage and do the same job.

    • cyrax83 on 20/02/2018 - 10:59

      way overkill. This is a gaming PC

    • caitsith01 on 20/02/2018 - 11:02
      +2

      This is massively over-specced for an HTPC, and would use loads of power, too.

      You definitely don't need that sort of graphics card (which would be literally half the price of this machine) if you are just playing media. I am happily running 4k stuff from a very modest Radeon card.

      Likewise, you don't need a high end Core i7 for media, which would be the other big chunk of the price.

      Also, I doubt this would be all that quiet, which is important in an HTPC.

      So basically here, three quarters of what you are paying for is a graphics card and CPU you don't need, with Dell's typically crummy other components linking them together and Dell's extremely crappy software pre-loaded on it.

      You'd be better off putting together something from parts you choose. You could get a decent HTPC happening for half this price.

    What sort of profitability can this do for mining on NiceHash at the mo?

    • Letrico on 20/02/2018 - 11:21
      +4

      Pretty bad. Unless you have a proper mining setup, mining with a standard desktop is not worth it. The amount of electricity you pay will be more than the earning unless your electricity is free?

      • CoronavirusVaccine on 20/02/2018 - 11:26

        Oh sorry, I need to clarify my question. It's a given that this would not be able to recoup the initial purchase cost. I am more wondering if I could keep this on for mining while asleep - to generate supplemental "operating" profit. ie. just mining revenue less the electricity cost

        • Letrico on 20/02/2018 - 11:47

          Hard to tell it depends on what you are mining. Using ETH is an example, a 1070 can roughly do 30-32 MH/s but I used 30 in this case. Not counting electricity and pool fee, 24 hours will get you $2.21 USD.

        • Haters.Inc on 20/02/2018 - 21:31

          @Letrico: Smiley-k specifically mentioned NiceHash - which is essentially selling your hashing power. It isn't mining any specific coin.

          The benefits of NiceHash is that it (theoretically) automatically switches to the algorithm which is the most profitable at any one time. The trade-off is that it may be less profitable than other options (e.g. joining a mining pool, mining altcoins directly).

          So instead of comparing it to mining Ethereum, check the results of the hardware in the profitability calculator:
          https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/nvidia-gtx…

    • Haters.Inc on 20/02/2018 - 12:56
      +2

      https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/nvidia-gtx…

      This is assuming $0.20 per kWh

      To answer your question below, yes it would definitely be worth leaving NiceHash running during any time you aren't using the computer.

      • twocsies on 20/02/2018 - 16:25

        I don't disagree with the conclusion. However, the difficulty is always increasing, so some months from now, the profitability might be negligible. (Just need to keep track of profitability and electricity costs.) Also Australian residential electricity really costs closer to $0.30 per kWh (easy to check the real cost using the bill).

        • Haters.Inc on 20/02/2018 - 21:26

          Do people really pay $0.30 per kWh? Mine is around $0.19 (before any pay-on-time discount) and I thought it was on the high side.

          This is in SE Suburbs, Melbourne.

        • Diji1 on 21/02/2018 - 07:47

          @Haters.Inc: SA is more like 0.30. Or 0.5 if your a vulnerable old person who cannot do the stupid process of getting less raped rather than more raped by power companies and your with AGL still.

          For some reason the moronic electorate voted the parties that did this back into power. Apparently because they're more concerned about sending certain non-white people to concentration camps in foreign countries (or "offshore detention" as the government calls it … detention like primary school, it's fine).

        • CoronavirusVaccine on 21/02/2018 - 19:04

          @Haters.Inc: can you share which retailer it is?

        • CoronavirusVaccine on 21/02/2018 - 19:06

          @Diji1: SA has lots of windfarms and now Elon's big battery - someone will have to pay for them.

        • Haters.Inc on 21/02/2018 - 21:12

          @smiley-k: OC Energy

        • CoronavirusVaccine on 21/02/2018 - 23:56

          @Haters.Inc: weird, I couldn't find any prices on their website. Looks like they cater for special situations eg. estate/buildings with their own power gen facilities or, for buildings that are still under construction. These special situations are generally not accessible to everyone and the pricing dynamics can differ to the general retailers.

          By all accounts 19cents per kWh seem like a really good price, lucky you! I've seen previously one retailer jacking up the daily charge even though variable price is at an enticing level acting as a bait. So as long as you've got comparable daily charges then you're on a winner.

        • Haters.Inc on 22/02/2018 - 12:00

          @smiley-k: Yeah I live in a new set of apartments so this was the default energy retailer we were assigned.

          I never really checked the unit price of electricity until now, but because my electricity bills have always been very similar to previous places I've lived (~$300/quarter for a couple), I just assumed it was an average price.

          But good to know I'm getting a decent deal! I checked my bill just then and it's the one flat $0.19/kWh rate - no peak and off-peak rates.

    Does anyone know if I could add NVME support to this with a PCIe m.2 adapter Card?? And then put a 960 Pro on the pcie card and get the full speeds out of it? Does that work? Has it got a spare PCIe slot on the motherboard??

    • Riczter on 20/02/2018 - 17:19

    • MHLoppy on 20/02/2018 - 17:58

      The image shows 1x DVI (unclear which type), 3x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI.

      Obviously it's not guaranteed that the image is correct, but even if it's not 100% correct, it'll give you an idea of what to expect.

      Thank you for your email query.

      Unfortunately, we do not have any information regarding the brand of the graphics card built with this machine. However the GTX 1070 8GB have Standard Display Connectors/ports (one of each): DP 1.42, HDMI 2.0b, Dual Link-DVI.

      Hope this helps.

    Is it worth that price difference between the two?

    How much quality and performance do you lose going lower spec? Not sure what games would require it

    • ciyborg on 20/02/2018 - 18:42

      Going by the GPU alone id say the 1070 is significantly better in gaming performance. https://www.notebookcheck.net/GeForce-GTX-1070-Laptop-vs-GeF… even tho its a Deskptop vs Laptop GPU comparison. FPS gains are between 30-100 on a 1070 compared to 1060. Id say get this if youre a gamer for the long run and if you take gaming and frames seriously

    • Riczter on 20/02/2018 - 20:39

      Its worth the price difference for the GPU alone, but you get the added bonus of double space on the boot SSD which i think is very important as I find 128GB too small these days.
