      This.
      I run Blue Iris with 5 cameras as well as Plex server on my refurb i7-6700. Cost me $299 with 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD and Windows 10 Pro. (not from this seller)

      • DoomTrooper on 04/08/2021 - 16:57

        Exactly what I plan to do. Which model are you using?

        • Martyroz on 04/08/2021 - 17:38
          +2

          HP EliteDesk 800 G2 SFF Desktop PC i7-6700 8GB RAM 256GB SSD WIN10 PRO.

          Perfect for the job, there's space and cabling for two 3.5 inch drives alongside the included SSD. I had to sacrifice the CDROM sata though.

          These things are built for easy maintenance, HDD install was two mins max.

          It handles 24/7 recording, deepstack AI analysis and plex server just fine. Typically 25% CPU usage, trending to 50% with heavy movement on cams.

      This is a 7+yr old PC… with DDR3

      • bargaino on 04/08/2021 - 15:50
        +11

        And still great desktop machines. Moore's law is dead.
        DDR3 does mean it will cost more to upgrade to 16GB though.

        What has changed a lot since then is GPU power. For games, you'll want to add a graphics card.

        • ThePasserby on 05/08/2021 - 01:14
          +1

          Moore's law was about doubling the number of transistors per CPU every couple of years and not directly computational power.
          With CPUs packing up more cores, Moore's law is still well alive.

          • bargaino on 05/08/2021 - 10:28

            @ThePasserby: Back in the day, I was upgrading my PC every 18 months or so, and expecting at least a doubling of real-world performance.
            Now its not even worth changing phones that often :)

            • ThePasserby on 05/08/2021 - 15:14

              @bargaino: Faster clock frequency CPU requires the transistors to be smaller.
              Smaller transistors require smaller voltages making logic voltage levels closer to each other.
              Thus more susceptible to noise/cross-talk.
              With today's cutting edge tech of 7nm process, the transistors are 35 atoms wide, making doping ratio a bit of a challenge.

              So, miniaturisation/ ability to get faster clock speed quickly reaching its limits…
              That's why the chip manufactures came with the idea of cores…

              While it helps with multitasking, apps coding needs to be adapted to benefit from multi-core CPUs.

              • bargaino on 05/08/2021 - 18:52

                @ThePasserby: Yes, multi-threaded programming is a bitch. I know.
                GPUs have benefited far more than CPUs, no?

                The i5-4570 has 4 cores already, and adding more gives diminishing returns.

      • dogboy on 04/08/2021 - 16:39

        I got one a year or so ago and has been great for the wife. Upgraded with some spare ram I had laying about and threw in an SSD. Perfect for her work and general computer usage. This would suit almost anyone not doing GPU or CPU intensive work like gaming or video editing.

        The only issue I had was the PSU died on hers after about 10 months (she kept letting it go to sleep rather than power off which seems to reduce the life of PSUs significantly). Cost ~$50 to replace as you need the right one to fit in the case.

          These sit nicely under a monitor, SSD makes the unit less noisy.
          They have been a stable machine with bugger all failures.
          These units also have decent air flow so they never really heated up that much.

      It hasn't been doing it lately (touch wood), and I won't be much help because I don't know why. I always assumed it was the PSU struggling. If it helps (it probably won't) I'm currently on Nvidia "studio driver" 462.31.

  • robtheman on 04/08/2021 - 16:08

    These and the Optiplex 9010 SFF have a bit of a cult following as a solid second hand rig.

    I have the 9010 which is similar to the 9020 I believe (only(?) exceptions are that the 9020 uses 4th gen intel processors, 9010 uses 3rd gen). If you are looking to install a video card, check the PSU rating and clearance around the PCIe x16 slot. Speaking from my experience from the 9010:

    Pros:

    • Perfect for LIGHT gaming - can easily pair with a half height 1050ti video card. Of course it's not going to play the latest and greatest games in 4k.
    • Good selection of ports / expandability
    • Great to use as a HTPC or Plex server, especially when paired with a video card
    • 3x SATA ports, standard PSU connectors
    • Bulletproof and good build quality - at least in my experience… mine hasn't skipped a beat
    • 4x RAM slots - you could potentially install up to 32gb of ram if you wanted to

    Cons:

    • DDR3 as mentioned above
    • No M.2 slot - cannot install NVME drives if that's a deal breaker for you
    • PC will not be compatible with Windows 11 as mentioned above - CPU is not on the official support list and it doesn't have a TPM. I think Windows 10 reaches end of support in 2025? So you'll still get some life out of it nevertheless

        I am going by our previous units, not that noisy. They are very spacious inside so there is a gradual constant airflow. That said, depends on where they came from, was their dust build up? Always good to give a good clean out when it arrives. If your confident enough, get it a new seal of CPU goo.

      Are you sure about the 3 x SATA ports? The manual states you can only fit 1 x 3.5-inch HDD or 2 x 2.5-inch HDD

      ah I'm guessing the optical drive takes one of them

      • FireRunner on 04/08/2021 - 16:58

        Correct… I have 2x 2.5 inch HDDs and 1x Optical drive. One of the 2.5s is floating (i.e. not screwed in) - good build I know haha.

        If you wanted to fit in a third drive cleanly, you could always get a optical bay drive converter and replace the DVD drive with another SSD :)
