    good price! got any 7/8th gen mini pcs deals available op? :)

    I owned this exact one before upgrading to the 7070SSF and I miss these machines so much. These were reliable and had the front fan, so kept cool and quiet. The DVD drives were also a lot better than the newer models. Windows 11 isn't supported, but you'll have updates until 2025 for Windows 10. You also have a single PCIe x16 and a single PCIe x4 slots, which allows you to run low profile graphics card and WIFI/Bluetooth

    I had the follow cards
    1) Intel WI-FI 6 Gig+ Desktop KIT (great kit ~$40)
    2) NVIDIA Quadro NVS310 (crappy used $20 card that worked fine for production as I had problems with onboard DP ports)

            @Ryanek: Just productivity / old school games and YouTube / Facey / study etc. I ran 16GB with a 512GB M.2 and it was more than enough for what I needed. I should have kept it, but warranty was up

        A fairly simple hack… literally

    • smartazz104 on 15/10/2022 - 16:14

      There’s a better chance you could fit this into the 4090…

  • SBOB on 14/10/2022 - 20:25

    Been wanting to give Blue Iris a go for some cameras at home (QNAP's software is pretty poor) , so one of these should be a decent little setup

      If you want to transcode in 4K you need at least a i7 3.2GHz.

      • bob939393 on 14/10/2022 - 22:21

        Most I do is 1080p so should be fine right?

        • Spootage on 14/10/2022 - 22:50

          Interested to know as this would be my use case too.

        • Doowyah on 15/10/2022 - 08:34

          This is good for 1080. I have a similar set up and works without issue

      • asa79 on 15/10/2022 - 07:27

        Who transcoded 4k

      • Void on 15/10/2022 - 09:57

        I think with QuickSync the i5 will do 1 or 2.

      • tonyamazing on 15/10/2022 - 12:32

        My 4770k, an i7 with 3.5Ghz struggled to transcode a single 4k to 1080p.

        With PlexPass you can hard ware transcode with even a Celeron G5900. The iGPU would be doing all the work.

        • Ryanek on 15/10/2022 - 13:56

          Yes struggled, i7 is the bear minimum

    • OzTech74L on 14/10/2022 - 22:49

      It’s very good if you don’t need to transcode. I’ve been using this for over a year then added a Quadro P620 and Plex pass. Been able to transcode 5-7 1080p simultaneously.

    • DreadEmperor on 14/10/2022 - 23:46

      Plex can make use of Intel Quick Sync- To make the most out of this unit, you'll want to drop in a Kaby Lake CPU (7500/7700).

      From Wikipedia:

      Version 5 (Skylake)
      The Skylake microarchitecture adds a full fixed-function H.265/HEVC main/8-bit encoding and decoding acceleration, hybrid and partial HEVC main10/10-bit decoding acceleration, JPEG encoding acceleration for resolutions up to 16,000×16,000 pixels, and partial VP9 encoding and decoding acceleration.

      Version 6 (Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, Whiskey Lake, Comet Lake)
      The Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake and Comet Lake microarchitecture adds full fixed-function H.265/HEVC Main10/10-bit encoding and decoding acceleration and full fixed-function VP9 8-bit and 10-bit decoding acceleration and 8-bit encoding acceleration.

    • tonyamazing on 15/10/2022 - 12:34

      The Intel® HD Graphics 6xx series and newer seems to be what people aim for. This one has a 530. Probably still good as it does have QuickSync.

  • HappyJoyJoy on 14/10/2022 - 21:17

    Do you have anything that will fit 2x 3.5" SATA HDD's? That's on top of a SSD OS drive. Thanks.

      It can take a single 3.5" drive (as well as a single NVMe).

    Five months ago, I bought a refurbed Dell OptiPex 7050 for $239 delivered. It has a 256 Gb SSD and no optical drives or inbuilt WiFi.

    It came with a mini WiFi dongle and works well. It is tiny and quiet.

  • SmartM6 on 14/10/2022 - 22:41

    I miss the Optiplex $109 5040 deal early this week from fusetech.

    • SBOB on 14/10/2022 - 23:10

      With shipping on that deal, this is only $20 more (at least for the price it quoted me shipping when I looked at that deal)

    • Froot Loops on 15/10/2022 - 04:05

      7040 for $20 extra is worth it. It's the next level up in quality / function

  • Death on 14/10/2022 - 23:09

    Any Intel 8 series with Windows 11 compatibility?

  • Bunsen on 15/10/2022 - 11:11

    Went with the 16gb option $199 - $20

    Clicking on the above link for a refurbed Dell OptiPlex 7050 with a 256 SSD shows a price of $199. The machine appears to have inbuilt WiFi.

    got my 7040 today, although purchased via ebay but is from UN Tech..

    Bit dissapointed, has rust on the SSD caddy + a few rust spots internally on the chassis behind the case fan. The front grill is sticky & the metal framework in front of the fan is also sticky & black, sorta corroded. It's almost like it came out of a Fish n Chip shop. The dust is all sticky.

    Am i being pedantic?

    FYI - I went with 16GB option, came with 4x 4GB sticks + a WiFi USB dongle.

    • nik on 21/10/2022 - 15:16

      If the product had been Q.A, I though they need to clean those dusks at least?

      I would be disappointed too !!

      • Bunsen on 21/10/2022 - 18:30

        Yeah, it wasn't dusty per se, just sticky residue where the dust had been & the rusty spots just compacted my disappointment, who knows where it was stored or used & likely the M/B would also be affected, shortening it's life-span..

        All good though, seller got back to me today & they're sending a replacement & a return label..

  • Shadow_1 on 22/10/2022 - 18:31

    @untech Any updates on order shipments? Mine was Order 1323 and haven't received any emails since ordering.

    So, I got mine, went to put in a spare samsung 860 ssd, and … there's no sata data or power cables? What?

    • motk on 26/10/2022 - 20:14

      I actually didn't check to see if the DVD was functioning. huh.

      I suppose I should've checked this, but looking at the prices for the special dell sata power supply cable I guess it's good money to remove them and sell them?

    • Nom on 26/10/2022 - 22:17

      https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/304519447333 is the full drive kit👍

      • motk on 27/10/2022 - 10:25

        Thanks for that, $25 isn't too bad. Surprised that they shipped a completely decorative DVD drive in the first place.

        • Nom on 27/10/2022 - 11:02

          Yeah I would be going back to the seller in this case - the unit was sold to you with DVD function !

          • motk on 28/10/2022 - 14:35

            @Nom: Eh, it said "DVD", not "functioning DVD" and at the price I can't be arsed.

        • SBOB on 27/10/2022 - 12:28

          wait? your dvd drive doesnt work or just isnt powered up/connected?

          i only powered mine up briefly and pretty sure the DVD drive had power

          • motk on 27/10/2022 - 16:29

            @SBOB: There was no power or sata cable at all.

            • timhn on 28/10/2022 - 12:23

              @motk: Just boot up my 7050 and the DVD is working - tested with a disc and read fine.

              The included usb wifi is broken, lol.
