PAYBACK

Howdy!

Taking advantage of the 10% off discount from eBay i've dropped the price again on the Popular 9020 Desktop stock.

Pretty much the same as this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/368948 - However this current stock does not have SSD's :(

Dell Optiplex 9020 SFF
Core i5 4570 3.2GHz (4C)
8GB RAM
500GB HDD
They have 7/8 Home COA's but they are imaged with Windows 10.

Also

I've got about 40ish of the 9010 i7 stock which i've dropped the price on too.

Dell OptiPlex 9010 i7 SOLD OUT

The interesting thing with these is they have standard ATX boards and normal PSU connectors so you can fit them in a normal case if you wanted to build something up. Don't forget these are licensed as well.

Dell Optiplex 9010 Desktop Format
Core i7 3770 3.4GHz

      • FabMan on 27/04/2018 - 14:08

        Just to add, this does reduce the amount of available PCI-e lanes if you care about ultimate gaming. Though in reality usually effects performance by 1 to 2%.

    We bought the 9020 last time around. That offer had an SSD and we added a normal larger mechanical drive (2 minute job, tutorial on YT).

    Then bought a low profile 1050 video card. All worked a treat. Pretty decent mid-level gaming machine. My wife plays Planet Coaster on it, and it runs that at 1080.

    • davidl820 on 27/04/2018 - 09:42

      Did you have any issues with Windows licensing due to hardware upgrades i.e. your ssd + nvidia cards?

      • bdl on 27/04/2018 - 09:49

        No, I did same thing, no licensing issues.

        • davidl820 on 27/04/2018 - 09:55

          Awesome. Then this is worth buying considering the price and spec.

          I built one with similar spec few years ago 4th gen i5 , 8gb ram… still working pretty well.

      • fenric on 27/04/2018 - 11:59

        Windows 8/10 licensing is tied to your motherboard. You can basically change out almost everything else, but as long as you use the same motherboard you will be fine.

    • Homr on 27/04/2018 - 09:54

      Just for clarity, the 1050 card only fits in the PCI-e x4 2.0 slot and not the PCI-e x16 3.0 slot. Difference will be 5-20fps depending on the game.

      • ryang on 27/04/2018 - 09:56

        Ahh… Does the drive cage block the card, too long? Don't know of any short SFF GPU cards either - that are worth it anyway.

        • Homr on 27/04/2018 - 10:30
          +4

          No, the PCIe 3.0 is located JUST above the PSU supply, so the fan/cooler is blocking the slot. The PCIe 2.0 is above the 3.0 slot so it fits it in perfectly. But still, you are losing up to 10% performance by putting the 1050ti into a PCI-e x4 2.0 slot

          Happy to answer more questions because I have both the Optiplex 9020 and HP G1 800 elitedesk

          @scrimshaw: I sure have mate.

          On the i7 4770 with 1050Ti using the PCIe 2.0 @ x4 slot, I can't get any higher than 6050. The average benchmark from other users were from 6500 - 7000

          With the i5 4570 with 1050ti using PCI-e 3.0 @ x16 slot, I was getting a score of 6200

          I'm planning to swap over the optiplex i7 cpu to my HP G1 800 elitedesk.

        • scrimshaw on 27/04/2018 - 11:56

          @Homr:

          that's cool! in that case it looks like just having a GTX 1050 (non Ti edition) might be enough for some users of the optiplex, if they can live with just 2GB of VRAM.

        • Lane Myer on 27/04/2018 - 12:17

          We bought it as a cheap machine for the kids to play Minecraft but the machine with a 1050 can really handle itself, relatively speaking.

          Sure, you're not going to get 4k/60fps, and for demanding games you're going to be dropping the details and possible resolution down a notch or two. But for what we use it for, we were really impressed.

          Added the 1050, added a HDD for bigger storage (kept the SSD for the operating system) and bought the caddy for the HDD. If it wasn't for the crazy videocard prices, this would have been even better value than it was (and it was still good).

          I reckon we spent under $500 in total, for a decent, stable gaming machine.

        • ryang on 27/04/2018 - 14:05

          @McFly: Yeh…. Got that. Hence why I linked a low-profile single slot 1050ti.

      • Beanvee on 27/04/2018 - 12:22

        Could you get one of those PCI-E extension ribbon cables and mount the card somewhere else?

        • Homr on 27/04/2018 - 13:16

          the perfect place would be where the PCI 2.0 slot is. Its a huge design flaw from Dell on how they put the longer PCI 3.0 slot just above the PSU supply.

          I really like the Dell, but the HP G1 has better airflow and can fit up 3xHDD while the Dell can only fit 1xSSD and 1xHDD

    • ryang on 27/04/2018 - 09:55

      Definitely needs an SSD. The HDD is the real bottleneck on these and it's a super cheap upgrade.

        I followed this guide
        https://youtu.be/IFcb3SZwtHA

        We had to buy a 2.5 caddy (about $8 off Ebay). You do lose the use of the DVD drive though, the HDD sits in that section.

          Ah, that's what I was doing wrong. I couldn't see any space in there. I have a 2.5" caddy, can always get a little mech drive & stick it in there. I guess we could also get an external HDD or an External DVD drive. Works out to the same I suppose.
          Thanks for the link. :)

    • aeon on 27/04/2018 - 15:30

      I got the 9020 last time with the SSD as well, I finally got around to picking up a Gigabyte 1050 Low Profile (not the Ti) version, and it works very well… though I'm only playing Diablo 3, so I'm not really pushing the system… for comparison sake, the onboard video would do 1280x720 with medium settings in that game at a reasonable frame, whereas now I can do 1920x1080 at high settings with any real issues (smooth 60fps all the time pretty much)

    • AssociatedCalmago @ Australian Computer Traders on 27/04/2018 - 10:09

      The 9020 SFF (because of size), but you'll need a Display port to HDMI Cable/ Adapter or add a cheap Low Profile video card.

        I followed that video when I was trying to install SSD and HDD together.

        Hard drives bigger than 2TB are physically bigger than the one on the video so it will NOT fit the SSD and the HDD inside the caddy together. You have to put the SSD under hard drive caddy

    • DarthAntz on 27/04/2018 - 12:13

      i taped the SSD from the old PC onto the SSD from the new one. too cheap and unprepared for the caddie. it had the extra power cable to have it connected, and i had a spare sata cable to use. I also put 4gig of ram from the old PC (pretty much the same ram, not running dual channel because my father doesnt need it).

    Too bad low profile 1050ti 4gb cards are more expensive than before :(

    "They have 7 Home COA's but they are imaged with Windows 10."
    Is that legal?

      Yes, MS wants you on Win10 so they will let you activate with old keys.

        source? I wouldn't assume anything with MS. You can activate certain versions with volume license keys also - doesn't mean it's legal.

          This is very old news, Win 10 was a free upgrade for Win 7/8 users for a fixed period upon release. They ended up extending indefinitely and in the first major update added the ability to use 7/8 keys on a clean install, not just for upgrades.

          @ashanrath:
          Yes, The MS free upgrade to Windows 10, as far as I knew, lasted for a certain period. The free upgrade now, I thought, was only for customers who use "assistive technologies".
          So, yes I know it works. You can upgrade. But is it legal if you aren't an "assistive technologies" user?
          The link you provide was written in Feb 2016 whilst the upgrade was free for everyone.
