PENNY5

Was looking at upgrading my media PC and saw that the 9020 seems to be best bang for buck for one. Doesn't have an SSD like some of the other deals posted, but is also about $80 cheaper.

  • Lief on 10/07/2018 - 22:30

    E3 1200 V3 is an intel processor, not a gpu.
    I am very confused and curious about what is inside this thing now.

    • airal3rt on 10/07/2018 - 22:32

      With this price and these specs, it's integrated graphics.

    • Shonky on 11/07/2018 - 09:33

      Yeah it won't have a Xeon. It will be the i5

      There isn't even an E3 1200 v3 CPU. 1200 is the range of CPUs

    • RJK on 11/07/2018 - 10:03

      It'll have the HD 4600, which was a decent step up from the HD 4000:
      https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/haswells-hd-4600-gra…

      It'll be more than adequate for most media tasks.

  • yoshi864 on 10/07/2018 - 22:34

    Has anyone here had any experience Hackintoshing this unit?

    • bargaino on 10/07/2018 - 22:52

      google it. IIRC, you need an i7 or discrete graphics.

      • yoshi864 on 10/07/2018 - 23:54

        I have, indeed I've actually tried installing a few months ago. Just couldn't get video output working with the Rx250 low profile in there.

        Guess a low profile GPU is the way to go :P

    • tor on 10/07/2018 - 23:07

      I have one, it's an i7 though, and I put an nividia gtx750ti low profile graphics card in it to get 4k video output. I have been able to get usb3 working with 10.11, but it needs tweaking the config file. It was fairly straightforward with unibeast & multibeast, but i think i used a different sound driver that I downloaded from somewhere. I haven't tried upgrading to the latest version of macos.

      I don't see why i5 vs i7 should be an issue though?

      • yoshi864 on 10/07/2018 - 23:56

        Many thanks for the info. I've been looking for a "workstation" Hackintosh to replace my aging iMac and this 9020 looks ideal. It's just frustrating that there's so much tweaking involved - especially after upgrades.

    • mduncan2 on 11/07/2018 - 10:10

      The CPU is a i5-4590 , so it should have a HD4600 onboard graphics.
      That HD4600 CPU is supported in Hackintosh world(s). So it should simply work with multibeast/unibeast/clover configurator.

          Yep 99% chance the Windows 8 key on the sticker will activate Windows 10 (probably Pro edition as this is an Optiplex).

          @ozbargainer88:

          OK, Windows 7 should be OK but OEM Windows 8 on this kind of machine they won't have a key on it.

        Also most likely it'll be a Pro licence, meaning you can downgrade to Windows 7 Pro. It runs Windows 10 very smoothly too.

        I wouldn't put on Windows 8 unless you really hate enjoying using computers.

          Case looks ugly as, you'd want to hide it away. Also that PSU doesn't seem that reliable, I'd look at a better quality one.

          Also missing data storage and OS.

    • djkelly69 on 11/07/2018 - 05:21

      From memory a couple of other brands make a low profile 1050ti (MSI and ?).

    • FabMan on 11/07/2018 - 09:13

      I assume you are gaming and want the fastest for the size available $245 at uMart for 1050ti. However if you aren't intending to game much there are a lot cheaper low profile cards that can run decently and out perform AMDs integrated offerings such as: $105 at uMart for 1030

      Gaming on 1030

      • Nitrous on 11/07/2018 - 10:55

        Thanks. Will these be ok for 4K video editing? Will also change for a good SSD.

        • FabMan on 11/07/2018 - 12:04

          I just checked for video editing and yes, it's all good for editing 4K video. The max resolution its supports is 8k and it works well for video editing 4K @ 60fps. More powerful machines of course offer greater performance but you won't find it sluggish.

          Specs

          The one I linked in earlier post uses GDDR5 at 2GB instead of SDDR4, so that is the better performing version of GT 1030. When it comes to gaming a 1050ti is close to twice as fast as a 1030, so the 1050ti is a better gaming card. But more than twice the price and uses more power too.

    • RedHab on 11/07/2018 - 09:38

      You can put in a GTX 1030 low profile for ~$100. Good for media decoding and Hackintoshing, not so good for games.

    • Homr on 11/07/2018 - 10:10

      Where are you seeing 1050ti for $300+?

      I got mine from PCbyte with the 20% ebay site off for $237

      • RichardL on 11/07/2018 - 10:26

        Doing a quick search on eBay. Prices are most likely inflated in preparation for tomorrow's 20%/25% promotion.

    • iforgotmysocks on 11/07/2018 - 11:10

      1050, 1030 low profiles. GTX 750ti, GT 730. RX550.

      Depends on the use case. If you're trying to add monitors then something like a 1030 or GT750ti/730 or RX550.

      If you're playing games then a 1050 is perfectly capable for lightweight or e-sports titles.

    I'm surprised there isn't a wiki for these Optiplex machines yet, considering its popularity. Something like the HP MicroServer N40L Wikia.

    Is there something similar on the Internets? My Google-fu isn't up to scratch.

    • bargaino on 11/07/2018 - 11:36

      The Optiplex is more generic. There is a good wikipedia page comparing models.
      What else do you want to know?
      The only common question I can think of is which graphics cards fit. Easily googled.

  • Kuzdog on 11/07/2018 - 11:11

    Quick questions from a first time optiplex buyer:
    What is needed to make it a dual display?
    Anyone know any cheap deals on monitors? Used is fine, not being used for gaming.
    Does it have a slot to take an extra hard drive (SSD)?

    • mduncan2 on 11/07/2018 - 11:19
      +3

      It appears to have 3x internal SATA ports (2x are currently used for DVD drive and for 500gb 7200rpm hard drive).

      You'll need to get a power splitter cable if you want to upgrade/keep the HDD and add an additional SSD. It doesn't have a spare power cable for an extra drive.

      I think the machine has 2x Display port outputs. So you just need to screens and appropriate cables, and you can have dual monitor easily.

    • RichardL on 11/07/2018 - 11:28

      What is needed to make it a dual display?

      This unit has 2x Display ports & 1 VGA. So it should be able to do dual monitor. If your monitor doesn't have display port input, then you can purchase a Display Port to HDMI Converter for ~$2-3 from eBay

      Anyone know any cheap deals on monitors?

      What size are you after?

      Does it have a slot to take an extra hard drive (SSD)?

          If you don't mind secondhand, look on Gumtree or eBay for Refurbished stock. (Just note that purchasing monitor online, usually incur a postage cost)

          If you prefer brand new, Officeworks/MSY has some 20" for ~$100 each

    • bargaino on 11/07/2018 - 11:38

      FYI, with DP you can daisy chain to run two monitors off one port.
      So the dual DP is not even needed.

          @Tonetoro: I may be incorrect as I have yet to receive mine, but I believe that the GPU fits into the PCIx1 slot (the black slot)

        • bargaino on 12/07/2018 - 21:44

          @Tonetoro:
          The one in the video looks like my 9010, which has the x16 slot near the CPU, allowing for a double-slot-size GPU card.

          But google images says 9020 motherboards have the x16 slot next to the power supply.

          @RichardL:

          I think you are right, I was wrong. I've never thought those smaller pci slots could fit a gpu, but googling and reading what Homr wrote in the other post makes me believe it will work, just with a small performance hit.
