    Great system, bought one with 8GB for a little bit cheaper in Jul from eBay (with a 22% off plus voucher). Mine only has 3x DP (and no HDMI etc.).

  • BLAIL on 19/08/2023 - 15:41

    Does the USB C port support displayport for 3x monitors or just data transfer only

    • Associateduntech @ UN Tech on 19/08/2023 - 15:42

      There are only 2x display ports onboard. USB-C is only for data. No display possible

      • BLAIL on 19/08/2023 - 15:56

        Is the one for $253.80 - the same?

      you will need at least a G5 or above if you need usb-c alt mode.

  • stevenmartiiin on 19/08/2023 - 15:56

    Okay, techphobe here with a quick question. We have 2 monitors and are looking for a PC to use at home, will be used for basic word, excel, watching YT, small amount of photoshop, Son may play some games (think Fall Guys). How would this PC fit our situation?

    Thanks

    • nick90 on 19/08/2023 - 16:02

      It should be ok for your needs. I think it might struggle with your son gaming requirement, but you can always update the graphics card if you want.

    • BLAIL on 19/08/2023 - 16:07

      if youre a technophobe - try to find a desktop PC with a graphics card already installed like this one https://www.untech.com.au/products/hp-z2-g4-tower-i7-8700-32…

      OR buy this mini PC then go to a local computer store and ask them to install a low profile graphics card like the GTX 1650 mini

      • bdl on 19/08/2023 - 16:10

        It only fits single slot low profiles - I found out the hard way :|

        apart from that, it's great :)

      • stevenmartiiin on 19/08/2023 - 16:10

        Probably easier to buy one with the graphics card already installed like you say. So these PC's are pre-installed with Windows 11, do I have to pay a yearly fee for that and does it upgrade for a number of years?

        • Associateduntech @ UN Tech on 19/08/2023 - 16:21

          These PC's have license embedded. Unless Microsoft starts charging for new versions. It's for lifetime

    • morebunnings on 20/08/2023 - 08:55

      You'd just have to make sure your monitors have display port. Cheaper monitors usually just have HDMI/DVI ports.

      • skillet on 20/08/2023 - 10:51

        Just make sure you go ebay and get an under $10 DP to DVI cable.

      I have one of these just to play around with proxmox, truenas etc and works great. Also got the equivalent Dell and not much between both.

      • nick90 on 20/08/2023 - 00:43

        I wouldn't mind given it a shot. I know their business series are miles better then HP consumer grade products. However, after dealing with eight Aruba switch failures in a span of six weeks, I'm a bit put off HP…but that just me.

  • ozivillan on 19/08/2023 - 16:09

    Will this run a 34" monitor for office documents?

      Easily

    • PainToad on 19/08/2023 - 19:52

      Size of the monitor means nothing. It’s the resolution that’s relevant.

    Hi OP, would this particular version of the Elitedesk be able to take a 3.5 HDD alongside the SSD?

    • Associateduntech @ UN Tech on 19/08/2023 - 16:17

      Yes, possibly you can install 2 x 3.5" HDD

      • JohnB100 on 19/08/2023 - 17:16

        It can fit 2x 3.5" and a 2.5". Has 3 sata ports.
        Also comes with 2 NVMe slots.

      • Rorschach on 25/08/2023 - 04:25

        Hey OP, when will these be shipped? Haven't received any notifications, has been 3 days since purchase.

    • skittlebrau on 19/08/2023 - 22:48

      Just be aware that the SATA power cable from the motherboard is proprietary, it’s not the standard SATA power cable direct from the power supply like you’d expect from a standard system.

      Get it in writing from the seller that the one you’re buying has the correct cables included. I didn’t check this and mine didn’t arrive with one (not from this particular seller - from ACT) and I had to resort to buying one from eBay elsewhere.

  • chickentaste on 19/08/2023 - 16:26

    We have these at work on rolling three year leasing cycles. They always seem to s**t themselves about 2.5 years in and start massively slowing down. Never figured out what it is that causes it but I'd never buy one for home use.

    • Gravy on 19/08/2023 - 16:39
      +3

      Thermal paste breakdown issue perhaps resulting in throttling?

      • chickentaste on 19/08/2023 - 18:53

        Possibly? We don't do anything intense with them, it's purely office stuff. Never had the same problem with Dells though.

        • Frayin on 20/08/2023 - 11:04

          Purely office stuff to me equates to device powered on 24/7 with little to no reboots (maybe when they're forced to reboot due to uptime causing issues).

    • onlinepred on 19/08/2023 - 16:51

      I've had 5 over the last decade, they are all still going strong, some where old dev PCs and now media servers that are always on.

  • viper8548 on 19/08/2023 - 16:30

    Why do all these come with win11 instead of 10? :(

    • stigsphilocousin on 19/08/2023 - 17:30

      Because MS stopped selling W10 licences earlier this year directly (retailers can still sell them if they have the spare keys/licences on hand).

    • iPodVideo on 19/08/2023 - 19:10

      I believe you can just install Windows 10 and it should activate

    • Nom on 19/08/2023 - 20:18

      Because Windows 10 reaches its end of life in Oct 2025.
      Why would anyone want to buy a PC that only has two years of life left ?

      • viper8548 on 20/08/2023 - 20:16
        +1

        Because windows 11 is a memory hog, and windows 10 doesn't just magically stop working at end of support.

  • khell on 19/08/2023 - 16:37

    What's idle power consumption at wall?

    • bbcw1980 on 19/08/2023 - 17:07

      very low maybe around 50w…..

      • orangecarpet-22 on 19/08/2023 - 17:25
        +3

        You can do 10-12W with the USFF so I think 50W is considered high usage. At 24/7 it’s about $88 per year cheaper at 25c per kilowatt hour, therefore I think the better buy is the USFF.

        Speaking of which the USFF Optiplex with same specs is $210 on eBay.

        • eraser215 on 19/08/2023 - 21:32

          The dells are built Iike tanks too.

      • BROKENKEYBOARD on 19/08/2023 - 18:05
        +4

        Where are you getting that figure from? I would expect "basic" systems like these to idle around 20W.

        • bbcw1980 on 19/08/2023 - 19:12

          including monitors etc etc. at most 50 watts.

      • bargaino on 19/08/2023 - 21:27

        In what decade is 50W considered low?

        I'd have expected around half that.

        • skittlebrau on 19/08/2023 - 22:52

          Likely they’re including a monitor that’s powered on and idle at desktop with that estimate.

          These SFF units idle between 15-20W. The USFF version idles around 7-12W.

          • drojf on 20/08/2023 - 10:44
            +2

            @skittlebrau: For this particular model (HP EliteDesk 800 G4), the datasheet says the mini (USFF?) and the SFF draw about the same idle power, about 12W (although dunno how accurate / real world HP's measurement is). I know this usually isn't the case though, for HP's other models (the 400 and 600), the mini usually draws about half of the SFF, according to the datasheet.

            HP EliteDesk 800 G4 Quickspecs: https://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c06040430.pdf (search for idle)

            • skittlebrau on 21/08/2023 - 10:21

              @drojf: Actually you’re right, they should idle similarly. There isn’t enough components onboard the SFF version for it to make more than a couple watts difference over the USFF version.

  • stubro on 19/08/2023 - 17:22

    Thinking of grabbing one for Plex server and running all the Arr apps. Is there a reason why the Dell Optiplex seem more popular than these?

    • orangecarpet-22 on 19/08/2023 - 17:30

      Go USFF. Smaller, quieter, less power and same price or cheaper.

      • Mitch889 on 19/08/2023 - 19:21

        SFF makes for a better Plex server as you can fit multiple 3.5 inch drives.

        • bargaino on 19/08/2023 - 21:31

          My single 5TB 2.5" is still far from full, and Netflix pales to my library.

              @Yekul: OK, I googled, and apparently Netflix has 3800 movies, which does come as a shock to me. It felt like a lot less, when I went looking.
              Is there a way to get a list?
              I have less than 1000, but due to an obvious bias, higher quality.

          • Mitch889 on 20/08/2023 - 13:41

        • Shermanpk on 21/08/2023 - 15:12

          I'd only go SFF if you are planning on running something like external SAS.

      • Nom on 19/08/2023 - 20:21

        USFF won't take graphics card or hard drives - it's not a viable alternative if you need these things.

    • Mitch889 on 19/08/2023 - 19:23

      I’ve had very good experiences with the Dell units so have continued buying them. Recently upgraded my Plex server for the third time to an Optiplex with an i7 8700.

    • eraser215 on 19/08/2023 - 21:33

      Dell better built. Hpe have been jerks in pay walling server software updates, but not sure around desktop.

  • stigsphilocousin on 19/08/2023 - 17:32

    Im tossing up between this and building a low cost (thing 5700G and 16gb of RAM) PC for my parents to use as their current system (also a refurb Dell running an i5-4770 is now running like molasses even though I swapped their drive at the time from a mech to a SSD).

    Obviously diff price points but not sure if its worth spending the extra now and get them something that will last but also can be repaired easily if a component fails..

    • Mitch889 on 19/08/2023 - 19:26
      +1

      IMO you’d be better with an ex-corp unit (my preference is the Dell ones), they’re dependable, cheap and you can easily swap them out for a “new used” one when you want to upgrade.

      My current Windows 10 install has been running for over 5 years across three different chassis, simply moved the NVMe drive from one to the next when I upgraded.

  • browser on 19/08/2023 - 17:48

    How's HP and Lenovo's business line up comparing to Dell Optiplex?

    Bought a Dell from this deal, later added another 8GB RAM, it has been rock solid.

    My parents saw it and they are super keen to upgrade their big metal boxes (as they call them), so I'm looking out a deal for them.

    One has I5 3550 (11 year old), another i3 6100 (7 years old), so an 8th gen or later setup would be a decent upgrade for them.

  • Shermanpk on 19/08/2023 - 18:06

    One stick of 16 GB or 2 sticks of 8 GB?

      It's nearly 6 years old, and low profile video cards are limited and expensive.

      They're not good value for your $$$ for gaming - buy one of the Techfast machines instead - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/search/node/Techfast%20sort%3Ac… - they're six years newer (so they'll last six years longer…) and the basic models start from just a few hundred more.
