    Can i put any 3.5s in this?
    Really need somewhere to put a few extra HDDs

      Sure can! Has both 2.5" and 3.5" available

        Thanks OP. Just the one slot or multiples?

          Just the one slot, with caddy's for both 2.5 and 3.5

    DELL OPTIPLEX 7040M

    Does this have onboard ethernet port?

    • AssociatedFuseTechAu @ FuseTech AU on 21/11/2022 - 16:17

      sure does!

      Do people prefer windows 11 on these? we can definetly change it too that (works fine + updates it does get)

      • Gav on 21/11/2022 - 17:16

        No, it's horrible. W10 is better.

        • Gav on 21/11/2022 - 18:30
          +3

          Free upgrade to W11, which is hopefully decent by then. It's lacking major features compared to W10 right now.

        • jcon on 21/11/2022 - 19:52

          Even if you assume that you'll have to strip these for parts in mid-2025, you've still got 2 1/2 years of good quality computing for about a dollar a week.

          If you install Linux or something on these in 2025 and use it for Google Docs and other web apps, it'll be a good-enough PC for years afterwards.

          If you need a computer, these are a pretty good risk.

  • MichaelBuble on 21/11/2022 - 16:12

    Rep, just confirming I'll get the Dell keyboard if it's listed on my order confirmation? I noticed after purchasing this deal has been revised to remove mention of it.

    • AssociatedFuseTechAu @ FuseTech AU on 21/11/2022 - 16:17
      +2

      We've removed it due to shipping box reasons primarliy, but send through a message and ill make sure its added for you!

      • MichaelBuble on 21/11/2022 - 16:23

        Sent, cheers!

        • 1parle on 21/11/2022 - 22:46

          Is the keyboard included with 3050 or 7040M?

      • 1parle on 21/11/2022 - 23:00

        @FuseTechAu can you please confirm if the Dell keyboard is still included with both models?

        • AssociatedFuseTechAu @ FuseTech AU on 22/11/2022 - 16:40

          Its currently not, for the people who first ordered we made exceptions, just a shipping hassle with boxes, want to make the cost low for shipping for you guys!

  • Fergy1987 on 21/11/2022 - 16:13

    Could I rip the internals out of this and put it in a separate case? or is it all weird layout stuff

    • voltafunk on 21/11/2022 - 18:39

      The PSU and motherboard are vendor-specific in these.
      Proprietary power pinouts and board mounting all over the things.
      Front panel ports are directly soldered onto the motherboard instead of being on cables as you'd expect for a standardized ATX or similar case.
      The only things that bother following common sane person specs for interchangability are things like the disk drives, RAM, CPU, cooling, and PCIe addon cards.
      I believe this is common practice for these Dell/HP/Lenovo corporate machines.
      Here's the manual section showing the motherboard: https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/optiplex-3050-des…

      In summary, always do a search for the manuals (both owner and service) and specifications for the hardware you're buying before you commit to paying.
      As an example, in this case I would search for: Dell OptiPlex 3050 SFF and grab the owners manual - which for Dell seems to usually include photographs of the internals.
      Then I'd look at those manuals to determine if the device actually has the features I care about.

  • BigDaddy365 on 21/11/2022 - 16:26

    Can someone please link the cheapest GPU that will fit inside this and work with stock PSU?

    • LeifSmart on 21/11/2022 - 16:45

      I'd like to know this also,
      or alternatively, one that would work in the DELL OPTIPLEX 7040M listed

    • jcon on 21/11/2022 - 19:54

      I wouldn't bother with that, finding low profile GPUs is pretty hard these days and increasingly expensive. The days of the Dell Optiplex ghetto gaming box are sadly over.

    • Windows7forever on 22/11/2022 - 05:39

      Seems it won't fit a regular GPU. I don't think there would be sufficient space for the fan/heatsink, unless it was something slim like a Quadro 2000 or similar.

    • PhilsComputerLab on 22/11/2022 - 13:46

      Older cards like R7 250 are cheap and decent enough for older games.

  • Dema on 21/11/2022 - 16:31

    Is that a cd drive with it as well?

  • Lonewolf1983 on 21/11/2022 - 17:14

    Purchased, want to do CPU swap in another PC that has a 6100 in it, and pilfer the SSD for a spare laptop

  • OzBerghainer on 21/11/2022 - 17:46

    6th gen, this is a good buy. Perfect for a home pc, or to make it into a router or server

  • Nillionaire on 21/11/2022 - 18:18

    Can I upgrade it to Windows 11 for free?

    • TilacVIP on 22/11/2022 - 08:08

      no, not supported with this model

    DELL OPTIPLEX 7040M is it 1x8gb ram or 2x4gb?

    • AssociatedFuseTechAu @ FuseTech AU on 21/11/2022 - 18:28

      Hi, its 1x8GB

      • Irishness on 21/11/2022 - 18:31

        great thanks

      • dodonohue on 21/11/2022 - 18:36

        Does it come with the DVD drive as per the picture?

  • Plumwhat on 21/11/2022 - 19:47

    Hey Rep, Can the 7040M have an additional HDD or SSD like the 3050?

  • fatlikeyamum on 21/11/2022 - 20:23

    For anyone needing a PC for the office or home this is a steal.

  • bulaboy on 21/11/2022 - 20:55

    Does anyone know how big a 3.5” HDD could be put into one of these. Is something like a 12tb or 16tb possible? Does the BIOS have a limit in terms of recognising newer (larger capacity) drives?

  • tonyamazing on 21/11/2022 - 21:38

    Will work as a Plex or Blue Iris server. I already nabbed a couple of SFF 7400T as my two servers, but would have preferred this for Blue Iris since it has 3.5 slot and better CPU for AI analysis.

    • Xheis on 22/11/2022 - 10:06

      Will work, but note that the 6500 series can't decode 10bit HVEC with hardware acceleration. Google if you need more guidance, but yes this will work perfectly as a Plex/Jellyfin server if you're not trying to transcode some that specific content.

  • MingMerciless on 21/11/2022 - 21:48

    Hi OP, for the 3050, is it 1 x 8GB DDR3L or 2 x 4GB? And your site specs is DDR4? Can you clarify please.

  • 1parle on 21/11/2022 - 22:49

    Noob question - which one is better 3050 or 7040M? and which one will take less desk space?

    • TilacVIP on 22/11/2022 - 08:13

      i wouldn't pay $40 more for a slimmer case.

      Spec wise, basically the same

  • Geekomatic on 22/11/2022 - 00:25

    Great deal. I'm waiting for the USFF w/USB-C front & HDMI out.

  • Asterpin on 22/11/2022 - 00:58

    Is the Additional 1TB hard drive is new or used?

  • babubhat on 22/11/2022 - 06:01

    Do you have any 3050 with optional vga output

  • bazingaa on 22/11/2022 - 08:49

    anyway to power up 7040M using a power bank or so

  • corkddd on 22/11/2022 - 20:11

    Thanks for the deal, does this have a PCIe slot? I would use a SAS HBA with this to make a NAS, would that work?

  • jmu93 on 22/11/2022 - 23:58

    Any more stock? After one for our footy clubsl and it appears to be sold out

  • windix on 23/11/2022 - 23:42

    Hi rep, no free shipping for DELL OPTIPLEX 7040M MICRO?

  • auxilrod on 23/11/2022 - 23:47

    Just a feedback, on FuseTechAu.. Support is almost not existant! (support is available to buy, but no support after you have made payment). Tried reaching for a support but just silience from their end. So buy at your own risk!

      100% will be setting notifications to their deals to warn others.
      Bought a desktop that is faulty.
      emailed them, no response.
      sent them a facebook message from their site, read but no response
      Sent PM on ozbargain, no response.
      No phone number to call.

    • Bargainlife on 23/12/2022 - 10:15

      100% have a broken keyboard in my T70s and its been ages, trying to contact them through PM, through email and other ways and no replies at all

      very very dodgy, after all their " we have a new support guy to read emails " … what happened to that new hire

      it seems like from others and my experience, no testing besides maybeee powering on is done at all. keyboard issue on my laptop would have been picked up right away, since any letter on the E row produces a beep and then ewerweweqwe like that making typing impossible

      it did this when i first got it, but it went away for a couple of months and now its back again and nothing i can do seems to get it working again, its either a loose connection, a short.. or keyboards dead

      They offer a 1 year warranty but don't service those warranties, i understand its a busy time right now but a simple "we've got your email and we'll help you out as soon as we can" would help a lot instead of ignoring people

  • OxfordMD on 02/01/2023 - 13:36

    Wanted to share my experience, bought one of these and has a faulty HDMI port and have not had any response from FuseTech since I unpacked it when it arrived in mid December.

    I've sent another email today. Will see how we go.

  • OxfordMD on 05/01/2023 - 14:35

    I've just checked the website and it's 'temporarily closed' for the holidays. Will see if this changes over the next week.
