  • Should put an FAQ in OP as i'm betting on seeing the same questions asked in past deals

    • +4

      Maybe, but the debate is always fun to watch and how different people like configuring their systems is interesting.

      • +7

        Will this blend?

        • +3

          That is the question.

        • +22

          Depends on how hard you jam something into the CPU Fan.

        • Classic?

      • +1

        What's the difference between this and Optiplex 9010? Both use 3rd gen i5

        • +2

          Do you want the Spinal Tap answer?

        • @Steptoe:
          Yes please! šŸ˜€

  • So can this one fit a low profile 1050ti in a x8 or x16 slot? the 9020 apparently only fits into the x4 slot?

    • +1

      It's 16x according to this https://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/optix/en/optiā€¦

      Not that 4x would really put any sort of bottleneck on a 1050ti. I have one in a 9010 and it's fine.

      • Putting a 1050ti in 2.0 4x instead of 3.0 16x can equate 10-20% performance loss depending on the game and resolution.

        The manual you've linked doesn't mean anything. Yes it might have a 16x slot does it leave enough room for the low profile 1050ti to go into it?

        With my testing, I've noticed a 10FPS increase on Quantam Break and 10-15fps on Dota 2, both using 1440P

        • +2

          Why doesn't it mean anything? It points out that the other 16x slor is wired for 4x speed. Yes it has enough room, like I said I have a Gigabyte 1050ti LP in a 9010 myself which is basically an identical PC with a couple of extra USB ports.

        • -1

          @groook: You didn't say you had a 9010 in your original post.

    • Why won't it fit in x16 slot?

      • In the 9020, the 16x slot is located directly above the PSU and the 4x is located above the 16x. Which means it leaves no room for the video card if you want to use the 16x slot but enough room if you want the 4x slot.

        http://76.my/Malaysia/dell-optiplex-9020-sff-core-i5-4570-haā€¦

        the 16x is the blue slot and the 4x is the black slot above it.

        In the 9010, its vice versa, the 4x is located above the PSU and the 16x is located above the 4x

        • In the 9020, the 16x slot is located directly above the PSU and the 4x is located above the 16x.

          WTF were they thinking?

        • +1

          @manic: I KNOW RIGHT!!!! INSANITY!!!!!!

          They had it right in the 9010 but got it so wrong in the 9020 version.

        • +3

          You just need to want it badly enough.(9020 btw)

          https://imgur.com/a/GxpFIQr

        • @AmperSand: That totally defeats the purpose of the SFF case

        • +2

          @Homr:
          i think people are buying this for the price rather than the form factor

        • @Balmaino:
          Can confirm, price to performance ratio is quite pleasing. Core i7 4th gen with 16gb ram + SSD + 1050ti low profile and a little hole in the side of the case is waaaaay cheaper than anything else in its league for the money.

        • @Balmaino:
          Also another cool thing is how much cooler it runs with the extra room in there. Also not having the PSU in there generating heat. Win/win apart from it looking kinda odd.

        • +1

          @AmperSand:
          @ampersand i bought one for a friend and was thinking of doing the same. x16 card in x4 slot and its so cramped in there just doesnt seem right. How'd you get the hole?

        • @Balmaino: Dremel. Could prob do it with a drill, angle grinder or reciprocating saw too.
          Cable length is long enough too, so didn't even need to extend them. Case stays a lot cooler having the PSU outside of it. Also could run some 3M outdoor doublesided tape to secure the PSU to the side of the case if you really wanted to to make it a little neater.

  • How zippy would these be for general browsing the web etc? I presume these are older than 5 yrs?

    I would be putting 8-16GB ram and a SSD inside.

    • +3

      They would be absolutely fine for web browsing.

    • +2

      It will perform fine, these will make great first PC for kids

    • Perfect, I use one as my daily PC, with a 1050ti too

      • Me too, I have the G1 Elite

        I've also put in another 8gb ram to make it 16gb. Cost me $30 from ebay

        • Do you mind sharing ebay listing for the 2x4GB RAM you got for $30?

        • @SmileSydney: How do I do that? It was $37.05 to be exact with the help of 5% off site wide code. It's 2nd hand obviously.

          8GB (2x4GB) Samsung DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 RAM

    • +3

      Yes, roughly 5 years old. We're on the 8th generation of Intel Core iX processors at the moment, and these are from the 3rd generation.

      We bought and deployed a few of the USFF version (I believe from this seller) and they're great. "Old" Desktop CPUs have aged MUCH more gracefully than mobile CPUs performance-wise.

      • Yeh, it's because between the 4th Gen and Current Gen intels, intel had no competition so the performance difference between the CPUs generation had minimal difference. Now that AMD has Ryzen, intel have to step up their game

    • The SSD is all you'd need to make it zippy for those purposes. RAM's a bonus but most probably wouldn't notice the difference.

    • -4

      8 to 16gb ram won't cut it for web browsing. Maybe if you're running a really lean linux distro…

  • Hi op, if I pick SSD as an option, would 250GB HDD be still installed along with SSD?

    • No sorry, SSD replaces the HDD.

    • +2

      Its very easy to install your own one if you have any spare/intend to buy one

  • +6

    • But if you choose a more power hungry CPU, you may need a lot more cooling capacity. So if not approved by Dell with the heatsink and PSU yours came with, you may need to upgrade these at the same time
    • Beat me to it, I was just about to make the same comment.

    @OP

    Did you use legit windows restore cd, We don't want you to end up liek this guy.

    • -1

      Lol. That guys a bit dumb.

      No, we activate using the Licensing attached to the machines. No license = not sell-able to retail market.

      It's so easy to reinstall the OS these days. All you need is a product key.

      • Hey Calmago,

        when will you think the next batch of Refurb Dell Optiplex be available? With the current trend we have now, alot of companies are now offloading 3rd and 4th Gens intel CPUs that they got 4yrs ago. So does that mean we'll be seeing refurbished current optiplexs like the 3470 circulating in 4yrs time???

        • Haven't really see anything at all in numbers. A lot of 4th Gen stock's are coming through now. Most product cycles are 3~4 years, as that's the service/ warranty / fiance cycles.

          It doesn't help that Intel release a new CPU every year.

        • @Calmago: Yeh, so with the current cycle happening right now, the next one should be in 3-4yrs time

        • @Homr:

          Could be tomorrow, there's no consistency in this industry.

        • @Calmago: I doubt that!

      • FTA: "While software licenses transfer when computers change hands among individuals, commercial sellers like refurbishers must buy new licenses for $25, according to Microsoft."

      • can you downgrade to XP? i have XP specific applications

  • HDMI out on mobo?

    • +1

      No, DisplayPort and VGA only I believe.

  • Calmago,
    you must sell a lot via OzBargain.
    Why not run your own website (in addition to eBay listings) instead of paying eBay/Paypal for everything? Do they give you a special deal?

    • +2

      Sorry bud not going to go into those details on a public forum.

      • -1

        An observer might deduce that eBay was indulging in illegal anti-competitive behaviour, but I couldn't possibly comment.

      • It's no secret, eBay gives stores (that sell large quantities) much better rates than your average person trying to sell an Xbox game once a year.

        • The fees are the same they advertise on the website.

          It's only the special promos with specific sellers that you can negotiate co funding rates

  • This might be a dumb question but i saw in previous threads about these Dell machines that you can't upgrade them like putting a graphics card in. Would this PC be upgrade-able? Would I be able to put a graphics card in this PC?

    • Yes, you can put a low profile graphics card into this machine.

  • Warranty only 90 Days? its 1 yr if from Graysonline

  • Hi Rep

    can you put Xp on these machines?

    also i put an best offer for the previous 9020 deal, as i need 2

    any chance it stacks with this deal?

    cheers

    • I guess you could put xp onto them if your keen, getting drivers to work would be the hardest.

      Typically don't accept offers on lower quantities as pricing is pretty low at the moment.

  • What type of ram is compatible, and how many slots?

  • +2

    I have been on Macs for years and am terrible at PC.

    I just want to play Age of Empires II on Steam and use as a Plex server. Are any of these suitable straight out of the box?

  • will it make good budget htpc without installing a gfx card if i connect to tv with displayport to hdmi adapter, no remote streaming required.

    thanks for your help.

    • it will play all your videos , might struggle a little with 4k though. I wouldn't really recommend though, you might be better off with Xiaomi Mi Box if you just wanna watch vids.

      • Thanks mate

        • wouldn't recommend in that it's overkill, will make at least some amount of noise, will suck up a lot of power and won't really be good enough for serious gaming.

  • Would I be able to put my R9 390 into this? And would the PSU have enough power for it?

  • i bought one, just needs to book in a few freight jobs at work & with the voucher is was $170!

  • It's saying I can't apply the code to my order?

    edit: nvm
