Howdy!

To take advantage of the 10% off site wide price I've dropped the base price of the popular 9020 stock.

It's a couple dollars more than the older 20% off promo's, but they do sell out fast and we aren't doing the 20% off promo's anytime soon.

Very popular machine for office / home use. They have the Dell 2.5" HDD Adapters so you can add an extra 2.5" HDD easily

Dell Optiplex 9020 SFF
Core i5 4570 3.2GHz (4C)
8GB RAM
128GB HDD
They have 7 Pro COA's but they are imaged with Windows 10 Pro.

The price will go back up to $339 when either the 10% ends or stock sell out. Only 120 units available

    FYI, you can fit a 2.5" on top of the 3.5" without using the 2.5" hdd adapter

    Also you can fit a 1050ti Low profile graphics card to make it a gaming machine.

    Maximum hard drives you can put in is 3 as it only has 3 SATA ports

    As others have previously shared in previous deals, one can add a low-mid range card (up to GTX1050 Ti) to for some gaming capabilities also. (E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w45ZOcXXzs)

      Perfect solution for a plex server. I personally use the i3 USFF version and it handles it no worries.

      • charlie123 on 27/03/2018 - 10:25
        +1

        Thanks for your response. In your experience, does it handle the transcoding very well? Would adding memory help? Also, can I just stick my external drive to a usb slot for plex? Your help is very much appreciated.

        • AssociatedCalmago @ Australian Computer Traders on 27/03/2018 - 10:42
          +3

          I don't have any issues at all, only have 8Gb Ram. I only watch the bigger file size formats of movies (if you know what i mean).

          Yeah you can use an external drive, but i'd recommend increasing the internal storage.

        • charlie123 on 27/03/2018 - 10:46

          I use the exact same machine to run Emby Server (similar to plex). This machine can easily handle 3 transcoded streams at once.

          Plex usually states you want a cpu passmark of 2000 for each transcoded stream

          https://support.plex.tv/articles/201774043-what-kind-of-cpu-…
          Very roughly speaking, for a single full-transcode of a video, the following PassMark scores are a good guideline for a requirement:

          1080p/10Mbps: 2000 PassMark
          720p/4Mbps: 1500 PassMark
          The CPU Benchmark website is a good resource to see what sort of PassMark score a particular processor received.

          This machine has a 7000 passmark score
          https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-4570+…

        • charlie123 on 27/03/2018 - 10:52

          @xcx: Thanks, that clarifies a lot.

      • charlie123 on 04/04/2018 - 10:09

        UPDATE: So I received the unit & set it up and it works great for the purpose I intended to buy. We tried multiple 720p streams, streaming on chromecast, etc and it works great.

        • hamwhisperer on 04/04/2018 - 10:12

          It's actually a pretty decent piece of hardware, tech has slowed down and this was made a while back but at a 'peak' so to say. I used one as a daily driver PC for me with 16GB and SSD and it was great.

        • AssociatedCalmago @ Australian Computer Traders on 04/04/2018 - 11:14

          Awesome mate great to hear.

    • 4kbargain on 27/03/2018 - 10:25

      If for minimal use get raspberry pi for plex server. It works like a charm for me.

      • charlie123 on 27/03/2018 - 10:27

        I have that in place but it does not play well. E.g. when I try to Chromecast from my Plex app, it will take ages to buffer even though it is in from same network.

        If I use my plex directory on VLC (on phone) then it will work very quickly. I have used RasPi to use it as file serving device and it works great but not same experience for Plex.

        • o53djz7qTPY4der on 27/03/2018 - 10:46

          This is likely a transcoding issue rather than ram. Plex can run on 1gb ram easily but needs CPU power to transcode.

        • charlie123 on 27/03/2018 - 10:46

          @Xiongmao: yup that would be the case. a bigger cpu should solve, which is why I am considering to get this deal.

      From the Plex site

      for a single full-transcode of a video, the following PassMark scores are a good guideline for a requirement:
      1080p/10Mbps: 2000 PassMark
      720p/4Mbps: 1500 PassMark

      This scores 7000 PassMark
      https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i…

      So you should be fine transcoding several HD streams.

      I started this in the forums
      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/368618
      (like you I'm looking for a Plex server),
      Unless you need a server to do other stuff, it looks like a Nvidia Shield might be best bang for your buck as it does hardware decoding on h.264/265/MPeg2, https://support.plex.tv/articles/221099648-limitations-when-…

    These things are getting so cheap. I think the next time my home theatre pc that is cobbled together from about 5 different PCs finally blows up, I will get one of these. The only problem is HDD space. I guess a few USB enclosures or a NAS would suffice.

    • Homr on 27/03/2018 - 10:30

      yeh you can't add more than 1 HDD in unfortunately. Probably the only cons of the SFF case.

      I bought 8TB external HDD and going to shuck it. So my setup is 500gb SSD and 8TB HDD for storage.

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/360589

      If i need more space I'll just get more portable HDD since they are much cheaper than internal HDD

    • xuqi on 27/03/2018 - 10:36

      Look for the USFF version for THPC use. 4K output capable too.

      http://www.dell.com/support/manuals/au/en/audhs1/optiplex-90…

      I picked one up for $100 with i5 4570s, 8GB RAM, 1TB 2.5" HDD, DVD/RW. Added an additional 256GB mSATA SSD for $85 making it a pretty cheap & powerful HTPC.

      Page below has some nice photo's of the USFF which is ~1/2 the side on the one offered here:

    I have one of these just as my dekstop. I purchased the one with 4GB RAM and 250GB hard drive. I just threw some extra RAM in it I had laying around and I managed to to remove the 250GB it had in it and squeeze in my 1TB from my old computer. It hasn’t missed a beat, not that it has a hard life tho but I’d definitely buy another one if I had to. Mine was classified as ex-lease.

      Only problem if you have Win 7 in these machines, after a couple days the Windows Domain (the thing you use to publicly share folders on the network will go kaput, need to restart for it to be accessible again from other computers).

    Was thinking this might be a good way to upgrade an old Phenom II x4 955.
    The price of RAM these days really makes a cheap upgrade much more difficult (for example a new g4560 or i3-7200).Also the I5-4570s are still very capable chips.
