They really are bullet proof. I have seen 100s of them and not a single dead one yet. Also nice and quiet, decent on power and even though they are old now as long as you have 8GB of RAM and an SSD they run really well.
Could I ask exactly what ram you have put in this machine? Need to
Update mine and don’t know what it takes
Thank
YouThe ram that's in our systems is 2x 4GB sticks that are DDR3 unbuffered (PC3-12800U)
WIN10 Home or Pro?
I think we have seen both come through - I don't think we can make any promises here so you should assume it's home.
Shouldn't matter at the moment, they ALL activate.
Click 'I have no Key' during install, and it'll activate anyway.
If you're privacy paranoid like I am, but are still stuck with Windows, try the 'N' editions.Done on 4 machines recently.
What does the N do that the other's don't ? (genuinely interested )
N is the edition they released in Europe because the courts there said they were integrating too many things and advertising too much and whatnot.
@worker: The only down side is it doesn't include some codecs, nor Windows Media player.
BUT if you're like anyone else, and use VLC player, or mPlayer (or you're me, and use the new version of Winamp), then you won't miss the codecs AT ALL.You get an added option in the privacy tab to 'delete history' which promises it'll remove your traces from Microsoft servers (EU's 'right to be forgotten') and it also mines less data to begin with.
All in all? It's a good thing.
Shouldn't matter at the moment, they ALL activate.
Home and Pro really matter.
How so, when you don't need a licence for either currently?
Just install whichever you require.@MasterScythe: What you talking about?
If comes with Pro no need to buy it again, don't tell me to buy those illegal license from eBay.
@superforever: Why would you buy something that's currently free?
You're making no sense.I was advising to upgrade to Pro N.
I was advising to upgrade to Pro N.
I am just asking whether it comes with Home or Pro Australia version. I don't want N version and not good for business license.
@MasterScythe: You are making no sense to ask Australia Business to use the N version which is not belong here.
@superforever: Calm down and think for a moment.
Using the N version isn't a bad thing to suggest, as it isn't limited to Europe, it was created because of EU regulations. They also suggested just using any version of Windows 10, Home or Pro, because currently they are activating without any requirement to enter a key. This isn't illegal activity, either an oversight by Microsoft or they are allowing their software to be used freely.
This isn't illegal activity, either an oversight by Microsoft or they are allowing their software to be used freely.
I have no idea but if I am after this for a business and want Pro version I won't do that. Let you upgrade it to Pro N doesn't really mean it is legal.
@superforever: Certainly does.
Once you own a licenced copy, you may use it for business.
If you didnt need domain access, even home can legally be used in a business.
You need to go and read the EULA on the windows installation again, you completely misunderstand the license terms.
How recent have you done that, wouldn’t it expires after 30 days or something, and then keeps asking you to activate everyday onwards?
Did it about a week ago.
Oldest install using this method is dec'19.
And, Nope, not currently, its "genuine activated" .
With the EOL of windows 7, it appears microsoft is happily activating all copies free.
Believe it or not, the microsoft app store actually makes them significant coin.
More windows 10 = more app store sales.They're learning from android.
Doesn't matter, if you know your worth you will be installing Enterprise on it anyway.
Is that free shipping to metro? Or only ships to metro because Townsville 4810 is showing up as
No shipping options were found for TOWNSVILLE CITY 4810.
Not sure what's up there. Just check out with "TOWNSVILLE" as your suburb, that works and is free shipping.
Am I able to put a LP gtx 1050 on these?
You can technically put a 1050ti low profile card in this, my sister has been running this setup reliably at decent FPS for around 3-4 years but there are a few caveats:
- It will only fit in the 4x PCIE slot therefore bottlenecking the card
- It's a tight fit so airflow isn't that great.
If you are just after 4k HEVC the GT1030 is cheaper and fits and runs perfectly.
If you are after games then the 1050ti will work ok but there are probably more suitable systems to use it with.
There's a lot more discussion about this stuff in our previous deal if you are interested: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/505905
I put a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC Low Profile 4GB video card into one of these for my son and it plays games like Fortnite really well. Cheap gaming PC.
@Ge3ks I’ve just done the same thing but ours is still occasionally running fortnite slowly. It came with a Samsung 4gb of ram, would we need to upgrade that?
Could I ask what ram you use?
ThAnk you!
It's a tight fit so airflow isn't that great.
Very tight, 2cm max. width.
This is actually the last Optiplex you can put a 2 slot Low Profile card into. The 9040, 7040, 7050 + all have the graphics card slot 1 down so you can't fit a 2 slot cooler on it. GOD KNOWS WHY!?
I put a 1650 into one of these I built for my girlfriend. It runs The Witcher 3 on Highest Graphics (Hairworks included) at 1080p really nicely. Would make an excellent media box. She mostly plays The Sims.
Only downside is that high performance low profile cards are kind loud, noticable at idle. You can't beat the physics of shitty ~40mm fans.+1 for finding a girlfriend that plays games
You can with a water block! taps nose and winks
I've got some kind of GT1050 Ti in it and its been working fine for at least a year if not more. Use it as a HTPC but the graphics cards is for playing multiplayer / local / single player steam games.
Are these a good choice for a media server? Most of my Linux ISOs are 1080p.
It Depends on how many hard disks you want in your media server. These SFF machines only have room for 2x 2.5" drives or 1x 3.5" drive within the caddy and most media servers I would assume you would want multiple 3.5" drives.
IIRC they have 4 SATA ports though, right?
So since they don't need to be mounted, you'd get away with 4x SSD's double sided taped in there :)
Yes you could certainly fit 4xssds taped in
@chiefbodge: Bunnings 'bend a bracket' mod (using a bunnings 'make your own bracket' bit of steel as a HDD mount) would certainly allow 4x laptop HDD's also.
These would make a really neat SFF server.
The motherboard only has 3 SATA ports on it. Some computers come with 1 HDD and 1 DVD from the factory, and those only have existing sata power cables for those 2.
This is correct - the motherboard only has 3 sata ports.
The varient that we usually have (and this latest lot) has a caddy in the hard disk spot that can hold 2x 2.5" drives. One is populated by the SSD and one is empty. It also comes with a double sata power adaptor so it has one sata power spare. To add another drive though you will need an extra sata cable.
Still makes for a sizable raidZ1 array. Booting off a USB.
Still good for a home user.
I've been running an i3 version for about 3 years and it has been rock solid. Running Plex and used for torrents etc. Great units. We have heaps at my work and the only issue I've seen is some faulty fans on the front that cool the HDD, not a big issue.
I want one of these for Blue Iris but think I should go 6th Gen Intel at the very least.
I have one if these running Blue Iris with 7 cameras.
Very reliable. RAM sits around 35% and CPU at 55%.
These have a single VGA and two Display Ports. So a lot of people would have to get a DP—>HDMI cable/adapter. It's a minor inconvenience/extra cost but it's best to be prepared for it.
Can these handle 4k displays @ 60hz?
These have intel hd graphics 4600 which i believe should be able to run 4k @ 60hz via display port.
Source: Intel specs on the processor here: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/75043/i… see "processor graphics" section.
I can't personally confirm but it should. The onboard graphics is specced for it and Display Port plugs can handle significantly more than that.
You will of course need Display Port for 60Hz 4K, as this does not have hdmi 2.0.
Yes they do. Source: am using one right now
I use these at work and am starting to feel their age, though I'm not sure if it's the hardware or enterprise bloatware.
If you upgrade the SSD then you'd have to reinstall Windows right?
Yes but they install windows pretty quickly (under 10mins) and most have the windows key integrated into the bios which makes it even easier (some may have a sticker on the side, it depends).
You could copy old SSD to new, and then expand the filesystem to fill the new ssd.
But for a new system, easier to re-install the latest ISO image.
I believe higher up in the comments they've stated you can fit 2 X 2.5" drives so keep the current one for windows and add a 2nd SSD?
Better still, keep the existing SSD for software, and add a few TB of HDD for media.
No option for a larger capacity SSD this time?
The last lot we got a good deal on but they had spinning disks. We didn't think people should use them with spinning disks as they are slow as **** so we offered an upgrade. This time around unfortunately our cost price has been higher and it's a bit of a pain to offer lots of options.
We might do it again in the future but unfortunately not this time around. We do have a limited number of 240GB SSDs available here: https://clearanceguys.com.au/product/240gb-bx500/ if someone wants to DIY it.
Any bulk discounts available? ie for 5-10 units
I could offer $5 off each unit on purchase of 5 units or more but you'd have to buy right away because we only have 8 remaining now and then I would refund $5 off each one bought.
Next time we have a deal I'll make sure to include a bulk purchase option.
Probably won't be this deal but a future deal might look into this, a lot cheaper than other options lol
If you like I can PM you next week - we have some machines coming in that you might be interested in (not a big enough quantity to post to ozbargain).
Can I add two monitors (multiple displays) in "extend display" mode to it - One with DVI and other with display port? or do i need adapter?
The machines only have 2x display port and 1x VGA output so you would need a display port to DVI adaptor for one of them unless you have two display port monitors.
Only 4 left now. If you miss out please sign up for our mailing list at the bottom of each page - we'll send a notification when more stock is available. Also sign up if you are interested in any of our other clearances, we've got a hardware store clearance coming up with screws / irrigation fittings and what not coming up soon which will have many things new in retail boxes 60-90% off RRP.
Edit: Out of stock, thanks everyone. We'll try to have all these sent out on Monday. We do have a spare system available which we'll put up some time monday and I'll post here so long as all the other systems pass our testing / cleaning process.
Got one
damm Just missed out :( i guess ill sign up to the mailing list
Same. Signed up as well
Find your local auction clearing house.
For example, mgs.net.au has a PC auction once a month and there are always dozens of these boxes for sale. Saw about forty of them sell this morning for around $140 each.
What's better is that you can get the i7 4790 version reliably for $240.Thanks for the tip ill check it out
You'll have to outbid 'the clearance guys' if you want one from mgs.
I'm really surprised on this company. this company holds antiquity for 5~6 years lol and this is good price too.
Superb little machine. We've now got three of them so the kids can play Minecraft and my wife can play Planet Coaster. They work really well, and putting a 1050Ti in one of them really helps.
how much did the 1050Ti set you back? they've gone up in price from 160 to 230 :( surely these little gems played a part in this rise
Also keen to know!
We got it about two years ago it was, I think, about $210. This was from Centre.com. I looked just the other week and they'd gone up to $240 approx. Looking around for a cheaper one, they were all around that price, if not higher. They're not ultra powerful cards, and I can't see them being used fro crypto mining, so I'd say the demand for putting them into these little machine is almost certainly a factor.
Snagged one of these with Dell keyboard, mouse and Monitor for $40 the other day. Excellent PC for the money! Drop a low profile GPU in here and you're laughing
Where please?
I'm curious… Did they originally come with the SSD? Or added in after? What brand is installed?
Came with the SSD, they are samsung branded.
Hey i know these are sold out but just out for future ref, how would they go as a hub for Plex, im a tech noob and looking for a cheap pc to run as server i have a 8tb hd with content and just need a device to run through
For a single or perhaps 2 streams @1080p, you're absolutely laughing :)
Transcoding more than that might begin to struggle.
But if your files are stored in a format your device can already play (no transcoding) you could probably get away wiith 3 streams +, until you saturate the network.
A bit late, but I thought I'd add that these make a good hackintosh.
Yesterday these all sold at mgs auctions for $130~$150 + fees.
If you have the time there are places you can get these cheaper such as pickles etc.. but once you add in buyers premium and shipping (if the auction place even does it it's usually incredibly expensive) then you would end up paying more, in some cases a lot more and that's not to mention there's no warranty what so ever and if they describe something incorrectly.. tough. We provide 6 months warranty with each sale and install windows 10, blow out with air compressor and clean them.
But yes if you have time to visit auction place and bid and pickup then you might end up a little bit cheaper than our price.
Would you have any of these without ram and ssd for cheaper?
Unfortunately nothing at the moment.
One more available but it is missing a rubber foot when in the tower orientation..
Trying to buy it, but your site's terribly slow.
Thanks for letting us know, I can see there's a problem and we're looking into it.
No worries, can you hold it for me until you're able to process payment? Happy to discuss over PM
They are selling very similar machines on Catch of the Day
Would anyone know why there's a pink tint on my screen when I boot this machine up?
These are ACTUALLY good machines.
We still have a bunch in use at my workplace, and I'm part of the IT team.
