    I never knew earth week meant there would be a sale on computers.
    I guess they are refurbs so that's going to save the planet.

  • binks on 20/04/2022 - 09:09

    Does Lenovo M910q support low profile gpu?

    • opt on 20/04/2022 - 14:23

      No, none of the tiny/mini/micro ~ 1L computers suport LP graphics cards.

      • misomiso on 20/04/2022 - 15:48

        Hi mate, actually yes,
        Some Lenovo tiny machines can use single slot LP graphic card. For example, Tiny P330, P340, m920q.
        I am using an additional network card on it.

        • CoronavirusVaccine on 20/04/2022 - 22:57

          Where do your source the riser card and the network card? I tried looking for them but the ones I can find were quite expensive

          • misomiso on 21/04/2022 - 09:54

            @CoronavirusVaccine: From Aliexpress.
            Yes, very expensive relatively.

            • CoronavirusVaccine on 21/04/2022 - 21:02

              @misomiso: Was so tempted to get the 4 port NIC but it costs so much might as well just use a separate managed switch.

              Still fantasize about it though….

              There are some Chinese vendors selling an one port expansion that is a mini PCIe that slots into the wifi card slot. Very tempted by those too - a much cheaper solution than the riser card option but only for gigabit

              • misomiso on 24/04/2022 - 12:54

                @CoronavirusVaccine: I think the better choice is to get a 10gbe nic card.

                • CoronavirusVaccine on 29/04/2022 - 09:54

                  @misomiso: That makes sense when you have other 10gbe equipment.

                  Do you know how much power do your 10gbe equipments consume? Curious and would love to get some reference points

                  Personally I am sticking with 1gbe at home - mainly to keep power consumption low, and also my use case doesn't actually saturate 1gbe.

                  • misomiso on 29/04/2022 - 10:45

                    @CoronavirusVaccine: Just did some google research.
                    It looks like a modern 10gbe nic cosumes less than 4 watts.

                    https://www.servethehome.com/qsfp-v-sfp-v-10gbase-t-testing-…

                    • CoronavirusVaccine on 29/04/2022 - 11:34

                      @misomiso: Thank you for this useful reference.

                      From memory 1gbe ports are about 0.5W - 0.7W each, and these figures are per port. So while each port the difference might be small, they do add up quickly in terms of operating costs. Obviously if the use case demands it then definitely it's a small amount to pay. But if the use case don't make use of it, then the additional outlay for the equipment and operating costs are a waste.

                      Other than content creators needing to scrub/edit high-res videos, I've also read running VMs over vSANS can also benefit from high bandwidth networks. Haven't ever had to do those myself though

      Front I/O 2 x USB3.0 (1 for fast charge) 2 x Audio (1 combo) Rear I/O 4 x USB 3.0 2 x DP

      • cms1 on 20/04/2022 - 09:22

        Ethernet?

        • AssociatedCalmago @ Australian Computer Traders on 20/04/2022 - 09:25

          Yes

  • kangaroo on 20/04/2022 - 09:23

    Does the optiflex has free memory slot for expansion?

    • AssociatedCalmago @ Australian Computer Traders on 20/04/2022 - 09:27
      +1

      In terms of expandability

      The machines have 2 x Ram slots (Ram configuration may be mixed) they also are able to have 1 x 2.5" SSD and 1 x M.2

      They make awesome plex servers.

      • kangaroo on 20/04/2022 - 09:34

              @HomeAlone: sorry I mixed up with the Lenovo M910q comment above.

        • Nom on 20/04/2022 - 14:28

          If it's not an HDMI 2.0 port then you can always use an active Display Port to HDMI 2.0 adaptor for 4K60 output 👍

          So it's not a show-stopper if you find the HDMI can only do 4K30.

      • rainbowyen on 20/04/2022 - 09:45

      Yeah and it’s still available. With eBay plus it’s even cheaper by a few bucks but run the risk of no having Wi-Fi and keyboard/mouse bundle.

        Yeah, although looks like with some very minor modding you can make it work.

        Hmmm could be a good plex server (my i5-3470S works fine, wonder if its worth it for power consumption savings).

    • toecutter69 on 20/04/2022 - 10:22

        Just live view of the cameras, that are off site. So just streaming the view really. Full HD

    • c0lch3y on 20/04/2022 - 10:31

      If you can enable hardware decoding (quiksync) it might be ok, but unless space is at a premium id look at the slightly larger sff pcs that have the 65w tdp cpus not the 35w one in this one (denoted by the T suffix) as it is relatively underpowered.

          Nothing on the desktops at the moment.

          Although "Technically" is not supported. If you enable secure boot and the machines already have TPM you can clean install Windows 11 with no issues at all.

            Except that it's slow … stick to W10 on these older devices

            • kipps on 20/04/2022 - 12:16

      A lot of cyclers put a new ssd in these with a fresh install. Not sure about this deal.

      For me these are perfect to go under a tv for those times you just need a pc or for a work from home backup. My elderly patents used this for online shopping during covid on a 60 inch TV and I use one as a torrent box with an external drive for bulk storage of a shared drive. VLC on each firestick can see that for simple sharing. Small quiet and do the job for 1080p viewing g and better over sharing to a compatable device.

    Today my [Refurb] Dell 7040 Micro i5 6500t 8GB 256GB Win 10 for $237.30 was delivered, six days after I placed an order. The computer came wrapped in bubble wrap. It came with a power cord, a mini WiFi dongle and a invoice.

    It is tiny!

    On it's side, it is the size of a mouse pad. It seems to be the size of 2 video cassettes placed side by side..

    It is extremely quiet.

    Part of the SSD is taken up already, I have 194 Gb left.

    After I load MS Office on to the SSD, there will be less space left on the SSD.

    I am typing this message on this tiny computer.

    So far, I am pleased with my purchase.
