    Where is the VGA port?

    EDIT: Not sure on the neg? Genuine question since its advertised here as having a VGA Port, but then doesnt have one in the listing on ebay.

    • kingmoron on 18/08/2023 - 09:58
      +11

      on the back generally

    • xyron on 18/08/2023 - 09:59

      the ebay ad itself says only 2 DP ports (but the OP definitely says VGA).

      Curious - what do you need a VGA output for? CRT mame cabinet?

      • Fergy1987 on 18/08/2023 - 10:00
        +1

        Old parents have a monitor only with VGA and DVI - not a big issue - i'll get an adapter. But for others who might want the VGA i think the listing should be correct.

        • xyron on 18/08/2023 - 10:01
          +1

          even in that case you'd want to keep the signal digital by converting the DVI to DP

          • Fergy1987 on 18/08/2023 - 10:03

            @xyron: Definitely. Not going to get a vga to dp adapter lol.

              • Fergy1987 on 18/08/2023 - 10:59

                @16k-zx81: Sorry poor wording. I meant i will buy a dvi to dp adapter. Not a vga to dp adapter.

      • r0nmac on 18/08/2023 - 12:25

      it's a fair question.
      other ebay listing's pics for same do not show any VGA output, eg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/CX8AAOSwaeZkTuLi/s-l1600.png

      Agree OP content should be modified

    • tonyjzx on 18/08/2023 - 10:14
      +6

      you choosing beggars really expect a lot out of your $85 pc purchases

      people asking about VGA is fair given some models do not come with it - there's a metal punch out slot which would have been removed in some models

      however the seller did not see this eventuality… he just assumed every model has VGA

      and so people ask in a real obtuse way "wheres the VGA?" rather than does the VGA port exist on this model

      complete confluence of idiocy

      I do appreciate the store stating that it only supports sata m2.

      • xyron on 18/08/2023 - 10:15

        This is a forum dedicated to penny pinchers, after all. We typically make the worst, most entitled customers.

      • Muzeeb on 18/08/2023 - 10:16
        +13

        It takes less than 5 minutes to take and upload half decent actual product images. If all the ports were shown and the description was accurate then this post would have hardly any comments.

        I stand by my statement - the OP is lazy AF.

        I sell a $20 item on eBay and take a few minutes to include clear images and an accurate description. It's not bloody hard or time consuming.

        • CyberMurning on 18/08/2023 - 10:20

          agree. look at those refub sellers, they put ONE photos for 100 second hand listings. photo looks good we got crap items on the mail.

            @CyberMurning: I had an issue with the refurbed Philips 4k monitor that pops up here from time to time. Bought it based on the model number listed in the description. Received a monitor that was not that model. I contacted them and in summary they said I was wrong because the specs listed were correct. Yeah the specs except the model number which is the most important spec of them all (because how else do I research which of these umpteen different Philips 4k monitors this thing is).

            Anyway, got my refund so it was resolved to be fair.

        • Daniel Plainview on 18/08/2023 - 11:53

          The OP is lazy AF.

          Might be just a tad harsh? I'd imagine they have a bunch of inventory and stock, simple mistake and they did correct it on here.

        • xyron on 18/08/2023 - 12:26
          +1

          The OP likely has hundreds of these. I can understand why they wouldn't take a photo of a specific one in this instance - in case someone complained that the one they recieved had a nick or a bump on it that wasn't in the photo (which wouldn't have been a photo of the one they were selling to that specific customer, in the first place).

    WIN 10 PRO if you select any SSD size (License is embedded in the bios)

      (License is embedded in the bios)

      Generally will auto activate when you install Windows (even with your own SSD).

      • Chandler on 18/08/2023 - 11:21

        IF it has had OEM Windows installed prior, which these units typically have (being refurb ex-corporate/government units).

    • tonyjzx on 18/08/2023 - 10:15

      it means if you install win10 yourself the unit auto activates a win10 key

    Good proxmox home lab

  • ReqelinOz on 18/08/2023 - 11:09

    Tempted to get this as a HTPC to play locally stored media (ie, a Jellyfinn front end) as the prices of Rasperry Pi's and other Single Board Computers are getting stupid. Only concerned about the power consumption, but that could be dealt with via a quick boot and an aggressive turn off policy.

    Can the Intel UHD 530 play 4K videos?

    • krammis76 on 18/08/2023 - 11:20

      I got one of these a few weeks ago with the 6600 processor. And while it can play 4K I can’t for the life of me get any hdr out of it. So if that’s something you want you might want to do a bit of research.

      • Yekul on 18/08/2023 - 12:42
        +1

        That’s likely because Skylake processors quicksync (aka UHD 530) cannot decode 10 bit HEVC which is what most HDR downloaded content is.

        That’s why I would recommend UHD 630 minimum for media servers. Ie, Kaby Lake 7th gen like the 7500T for example.

        You’d be far better off using something like a firestick if it’s only to PLAY files and not manage/transcode them.

    • Chiang on 18/08/2023 - 16:15

      I believe as a rule it is worth spending some extra and chasing an 8th gen processor. Then you can more easily read h.265 files and such. Something like an 8500t. That option will cost more though but still reasonable.

      These are typically great as general office machine, low power torrent boxes or as a TV PC though. Price is so cheap.

      • ReqelinOz on 18/08/2023 - 16:34

        I've already got a pretty beefy home server, but a dumb TV. I just want a simple, cheap PC I can hook up to the TV so I can stream sports from totally legit sites, watch some self hosted Jellyfinn content or similar.

        I'll keep looking for something with an 8th gen processor then.

        • Chiang on 18/08/2023 - 16:38

          Firestick 4K max won't get the job done? Can be had for around $50 fairly regularly and many apps can be sideloaded.

        • Chiang on 18/08/2023 - 17:40

          Actually the other item (720) in the listing is an 8500t model. With 256 drive and 16gb it comes down to about $260 with eBay plus.

  • bazingaa on 18/08/2023 - 11:15

    I have one of these as Hyper-V server with Win11 pro. Currently running Home assistant and PiHole servers with 16GB ram. It has only 2 DP ports and I have connected it to TV with a passive DP to HDMI cable.

    I vaguely remember it only suppprts M.2 SATA not NVMe,and I am using a SATA SSD. Originally came with a 500GB from a previous deal.

    • XeKToReX on 18/08/2023 - 11:31

      • ESEMCE on 18/08/2023 - 14:24

        Officially need 8th Gen Intel for Win 11
        So even this deal (6th Gen) isn't officially supported.

      • Dogsrule on 18/08/2023 - 19:42

        Not officially, but it is absolutely trivial to use the Rufus method to get Windows 11 working fully activated.

        I've got a Dell 9030 with a 4th Gen i5 working perfectly with a valid install, and even have a 15yo Inspiron 1720 with a Core2Duo working, albeit unactivated as it originally came with Vista so does not have a valid license key.

        I actually used Rufus to install W11 on my officially supported 8th Gen machine instead of the Windows Media Creation Tool because it allows you to set up a local account instead of a Microsoft account.

    Many thanks

    • bargaino on 18/08/2023 - 12:33
      +1

      Array? Are you building a corporate server? How many terrabytes?

      These are for a simple home server. One 2.5" HDD inside, and maybe a separate SSD for the OS etc. We don't need a RAID.
      But you can use external USB drives for off-line backups.

    • DingoBlue on 18/08/2023 - 12:54
      +2

      A “server” can comprise any amount of storage and any amount of processing power. Raspberry pi running off a usb key, for instance.

    • cobknob on 18/08/2023 - 13:15
      +1

      What do you wanna do? Serve movies, shows and music, create a file server, or just experiment with different types of applications (eg. Pihole, HTPC, virtualisation, etc) - all within a house?

      U can checkout all the previous refurb posts on Ozbargin, and scrounge through the comments. Ton of ideas posted before.

      If your looking to hookup 2/4x HDDs of 4TB+ just get a NAS(Network Attached Storage). You'll be better off.

    • Chiang on 18/08/2023 - 16:35

      Older parents during lockdown had a way to order groceries on the big TV together and skype/teams the family. Still use it for streaming certain grandkids sports and watching streamed auctions.

      General pc use on the tv. These things are so small they can sit under or on the back of a tv. Lots of uses.

      In a draw as a spare pc if you are working on your main but need to dial in for work still. Small enough they don't take up much room.

      Low power use Torrent box. Some people load them up with ext USB drives for serving purposes. (this processer will play h.264 fine (1080p) but not the more advanced h.265 (4k HDR10 or just smaller file sized 1080P)). This will still share out what it won't play. Eg if your network is strong enough will share a downloaded file to a firestick app over WiFi where only the firesticks limits apply.

      This is cheap enough to play around with.

  • DisasterArea on 18/08/2023 - 14:12

    Cannot get enough of these things, and at that price, wow. I've got an oldish one that runs splunk to collect all my router logs, and is my 3D printer driver. I got an i7 for my dad some time back as his main desktop PC (non gaming), and have recommended to a few friends who are blown away at ~$300 and under prices these come up at, .. but when they have something 8gb ram/ 128gb hard disk for just $125? bargain kids study PC, slap it on a screen and off you go.

    I did recently cough up a bit more ($220) for one of those little N100 chip devices with twin NIC that I'm going to try pfsense on, but I think these lenovo babies have a fair bit more capability.
