Hi Guys
Got about 70 of these machines with a cracking configuration for the price.
Dell Optiplex 9010 SFF
Core i5 3550 3.3GHz (4C)
8GB RAM
128GB SSD
They have 7 Pro but they are imaged with Windows 10.
Our processing section Winds up tomorrow at 12 so we will aim to have as many shipped as we can, but can't guarantee delivery before Christmas.
Thank you all for your support through the year.
Referee: $10 off 1st purchase.
Referrer: $10/$20/$30 off $100/$150/$250 Spend.
too cover the $4 cost price increase.
How does the cost of refurbished stock increase?
Did your rent go up?
You guys know these come from auction right?
How does the cost of refurbished stock increase?
To pay for the Xmas party…
Not that the price rise has anything to do with the discount but $192 with 5% off is still less than $188
How many harddrives can fit in that case?
Just the one that is installed…
but you can remove the DVD to make more space, or just tape another SSD anywhere there is space…
I recently upgraded mine to a 1TB SSD (around $200) and also have an external drive for secondary storage.
i've put 3 ssds inside one. mechanical drives up to 1 but those things are dying out.
I've got the 9020 which is the same inside I think, and I can get two 2.5" drives in it.
Yes, 1x 3.5", but they usually have an adapter for 2x2.5".
It has 3x SATA ports including the DVD.
More importantly what kind of graphic cards does this take?
I’m sure you could find something but your question indicates that SFF probably isn’t the best choice for you.
7010/9010 SFF fits low profile 1050ti in PCIEx16 slot.
9020 SFF fits low profile 1050ti but only in PCIEx4 slot (from memory - not optimal).
Not to be confused with USFF.
I have a 7010 SFF with 1050TI (gigabyte one - fits well) - the MSI one is a little longer and should fit but will be tight.
You'll fit 2 SSDs in there or 1 HDD (with optical drive remaining).
I use for BF1 and BF5. Combination of Low/Med settings to get around 60+ FPS (using 75hz monitor).
Unlikely to be used, my guess it's stock standard running off the inbuilt graphics chip. But the SFF (small form factor) means it can be a pain to fit decent graphic cards as they invariably are too high for the box, and draw too much power for the smaller power supply.
Asl 1050ti single slot low profile
not sure if single slot 1050 ti even exist, you'll want some sort of airflow for cooling…
the other option is to use the PCI-e x4 slot to the left, which has less bandwidth and is slower. this way you can fit a double slot low profile card, with a 1050 ti you lose something like 10-15% of performance tho so not ideal.
yup it exists, I’m using it
Last time I tried to buy a normal 1050ti lp from Msy, the guy from msy is actually advising me not to buy it as he said there is not enough power from the pci x4 and it can only perform like a 1030, so must well buy a 1030….
I use one of these as my home router, with 32GB ram in it. perfect beast of a thing
if only i could remove the shocking cpu cooler and replace it with a stock intel one
Cooler not upgradable?
Prob no space
the cooler that comes with it is a Dell large retarded thing that also attaches to the motherboard, if you replace it each boot you get an error message and must press a key to continue.
useless for any headless devices
I don't mind large heatsink if it does the job, but I cannot stand fan noise.
@nfr: it does the job but the fan noise drives me up the wall, but cant replace it.
can buy a 70 dollar replacement Dell part and hope its more quiet…. or put up with a cpu cooler alarm all the time
How noisy is it?
Wow! How big is your family if you need 32GB in a router?!
I swapped a spare i7 3770 I had into one of these (replacing the i5), running full time as a Plex server and never had issues with heat or performance.
Also 32GB is pretty overkill…
VGA output only?! Was this used by dinos before?
No it was used by office staff. Pretty sure they have display port too btw.
It's also got DisplayPort which you can output to HDMI with an adapter.
Or just get a straight HDMI to DP cable
That's what I ordered after buying this.
If you actually clicked the link you'd see they have VGA and 2x DisplayPort
Been using display port to hdmi with it for a while now
works perfectly with my samsung q6 tv
Could it handle 4k and @ 60hz?
Great machines and always great service from these guys, very very cheap setup for your mum/grandma/home office if you don't need to play games.
Any deals for the 9020? or is there much difference?
3rd gen vs 4th gen. it wont matter a great deal if you are browsing the net or light tasks. i7 dells are worth getting if you are making a cheap gaming box.
but 4770k is much better for gaming
they didn't come with K processors. also are you comparing 3rd gen i5 in this to the 4th gen i7? well no shit. i7 to i7 the 3770 and 4770 are maybe 5% different.
I have two 9020s, the processor is a newer series ( 47xx from my memory ) and they are heaps and heaps faster than the processors equiv for the 9010 units. They cost more as well. It only has 1 x expansion slot for an internal low height video card ( 1030 video with fan series std thickness fits fine, but not with passive type heat sink type cards ).
9020s already have a v high resolution chip built into the proccesor.
9020s are excellent units and very quiet.
Can it run Doom?
1995 doom? Yes
What kind of frame rates should we expect?
Doom was capped at 35 FPS apparently
You'll have to run it with IDKFA
I prefer to run in IDCLIP, on NTSC of course
Is it worth getting the 22" monitor and the wireless USB adapter?
Monitor is $99 and Wireless is $25.
Where
Same seller.
Better off with Gumtree for monitor and msy for wireless adapter. With that price pretty much you can only get single band wifi adapter with crappy speed
You are better off getting a cheap dfo screen from dell, they have the best warranty of any seller.
Great if you want to convert to a Chromebox. Listed as a supported device on Cloudready https://guide.neverware.com/supported-devices/
What's the benefit of using Chrome OS over Windows 10? Not having a dig, just curious.
It's simple, and it's free
And limited AF. Windows 10 is free if you buy the box.
Windows 10 is free for anyone who has a Windows 7 or 8/8.1 product key.
@rogerm22: Would assume this comes with OEM licensed and key for win 7. Just reinstall w7 and upgrade to w10?
Can you add a GPU to this? Thinking of something cheap to run fornite.
Asl 1050ti single slot low profile
I love these little refurb machines. I put a low profile GT 1030 in my Optiplex and it performs well enough to play the games I like. A bargain at this price.
I think the GT1030 with DDr5 memory is the way to go as it is passively cooled and cheap. You happy to run this as a main computer?
Writing to you from it now in between playing Farm Simulator 17. ;)
Installed (with difficulty) a Galax Nvidia (50NPH8DSP2MN) 2GB GTX 1050 OC LP (Low Profile) PCI-E VGA Card.
Difficult due to extremely tight fit.
Hi Techboy,
Was the card a straight fit?
Are the any power issues?
What is the gaming performance like?
Does the machine run better with dedicated graphics?
It's only minecraft (bedrock) but I added a gigabyte 1050ti to one of these and on occasion the fps has hit just over 1,000fps.
don't bother gaming without a dedicated graphics card. the intel 3xxx series would maybe just have enough grunt to run minecraft okay. throwing in a 1050ti pretty much plays every game out there. huuugue difference.
(1) Eventually - like I said a tight fit - hate SFF and trying to get things in/out.
(2) Not that I know of.
(3) Pretty good
(4) Of course.
Was going to buy 9020s for the office, but went for this and saved a few hungy :)
Can you add another stick of ram? What’s the max ram it can take?
32gb
DDR3 8GB RAM, it's got 2 slots? Is it populated with 2 x 4GB now or 1 x 8GB?
8GB is okay, 16GB is better but if I had to buy 2 x 8GB it's less of a deal for me.
EDIT: Beaten by 3 minutes
It's all auction stuff, I'd say the memory configurations would be completely random.
it has 4 slots. Dell in their infinite wisdom list 16GB as the max these Optiplexes take. it's not true. Shady tactic to upsell the bigger models is my guess, but they take 32gb ram in 4 slots.
Awesome thanks. Just realised I will have 4 x 4GB DDR3 sticks free once I build my new computer. I was going to sell them but now I can repurpose them here. Good quality G.Skill Ripjaws.
Pulled the trigger
Given your name, you would be the guy to ask this next question.
Would this computer accept my old i7 2600k? Benchmark comparisons have that CPU leading this one in most areas. Those CPU's do get very hot though so it might throw the whole dynamic out with extra cooling needed etc…
Yeah they are 1155 sockets would fit in no dramas
Them cpus still sell for around 100 to 170 on fleabay
@i7-2600k: My original estimate was $130 so I hope it can get higher. Yeah best to sell the 2600k, I just checked and these Core i5 3550's only get $50-60
Is the machine powerful enough to stream 4k netflix?
yes
Detailed list of questions please:
- Does this machine have a quiet fan?
- CPU benchmark for the I5-3550 is 6947 and the memory is DD3. This compares to current I5-9600K with a CPU benchmark of 13491. Is this going to have ample performance operating to screens for internet and office, some video editing and 4K screen output, using onboard graphics?
The fan in these is fairly quiet.
You may be able to dual screen it however you might be pushing it with 4K.
Great price. Love these machines.
With an SSD this makes a great PC for parents, trust me. ;)
Anyone use this for groovymame to a crt?

No dedicated GPU so it would struggle on both I think Pops.
Thanks for the reply is it possible to install a GPU if I take it to a computer shop sorry I'm not a pc user and any help would be good
Might be possible https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/426385#comment-6751522
The rest of the specs are good for light gaming.
I thought you were being insulting calling someone pops until I checked who you were replying to :D
