Thanks :D

Yes, the IPC / single core performance is improved over let's say an older 4th generation i5. Make sure you have M.2 NVME and dual channel…

I don't think they are more energy efficient. AFAIK they have a lower power profile, meaning they will clock less high under full load. But…

This is a GREAT package IMO. With these SFF machines, the devil is in the detail. This one is the 7060 and it is the top model compared to…

Interesting machine. The main difference is that this is the tower model not SFF, so you can upgrade it more easily, use full height cards…

I can also vouch for UN Tech, bought one machine from them but also bought other OEM machines from other sellers, all through OzBargain of…

Great machine and good value if you buy it for the right reasons: Quad-Channel Registered ECC memory, 40 PCIe lanes directly into the CPU,…

Slot 0 (mechanical only) Only for rear bulkhead mounting Slot 1 PCI Express Gen 3 x16 (from CPU) Slot 2 PCI Express Gen 3 x16 (from PCH)…

It's nice seeing Z4 G4 workstations hit the market. How is the RAM configured? One of the highlights is Quad-Channel Registered ECC memory,…

I know just one example, but my MX500 500GB died recently. It's the only SSD that has ever died, just doesn't get detected...

Great for Windows XP Retro gaming, but for modern stuff they are getting a bit old unless you are only doing basic tasks.

So many don't even load XMP profile, the bare minimum :)

Good to see that some things are getting cheaper and not more expensive :)

Really disappointed. Placing a large online order to maximise the 10% was the entire point of going with the Woolworths sim card :(

Yea the GT 730 is sort of a bonus. But the Intel onboard graphics already quite capable. Will do 4K60 and has capable QuickSync for…

Yes this is the way when you collect cheap / free games :D Best way for me to actually play a game is just have one game installed at a…

Can it change the refresh rate when using Netflix, Disney+ and other Apps?

CrossFire is better :D

Grabbed one, thank you!

T means they are lower power. So peak performance might be a bit lower, but they will draw less power maybe run a bit quieter and cooler.…

Great machine! W11 compatible and with 6 Cores it has decent multi-threaded performance. Also video acceleration and will do 4K60 from the…

Decent machine, but not XP compatible. So for Retro Gaming pick one with 3rd or 4th gen Intel. 2 PCIe slots, but the 16x slot is right next…

I have tested heaps of Mini PCs and also used OEM Small Form Factor PCs. A machine like this OptiPlex is heaps better, IF you have the…

This is one is stuck a bit in the middle. Too modern for XP retro gaming, not an 8th gen with 6 cores for an i5 and 11 compatibility...

Define low end gaming?

1050Ti is actually quite a "high end" card for SSF and pushing the power requirements. It will also struggle with modern games and isn't XP…

This one is Windows XP compatible, making for a nice Retro Gaming PC! Add a low profile graphics card and off you go.

Purchased! Great price and these machines are heaps of fun and upgradable to a certain degree...

Bargain, thanks for sharing!

Ordered, thanks for sharing :D
