  • do you know if they have any ex-lease monitor stands? ie. those Dell adjustable ones?

  • 320gb HDD is a bit small, will be needing to budget a bigger HDD or even a SSD.

      There's definitely room to expand, I just thought it was good for a student etc :) Some people struggle to buy something like this for their kids when they need it for school

        possibly a good mix with those cheap ssds going around… looks like a slimline vga which I find to be a pain to get a good one

        • a GTX750 Ti is the best card you can get with a slimline.

      • all in all, not a bad unit at all. great for the office too. and if storage space is that much an issue, nothing a couple of 4TB external HDDs cant fix.

        and if you find it that noisy, im sure placing it under the table will solve the problem for most.

    Make a pretty good HTPC

    • +3

      These days, there is no reason not to go fanless for a HTPC. ARM or atom, the real work is done by the GPU.

      a good price for someone needing a starter pc, or a student etc.

      Why the caveat?
      I'd recommend this for anyone who is not a hard-core gamer. Just replace the HDD with an SSD.

    • Might be a bit noisy, by otherwise nice specs.

    Is Topbuy a good retailer? I am thinking of buying a camera from them. Comments

  • Their "Don't Pay" price seems seriously inflated, found similar models to this on ebay for the same or lower price, where's the deal?

    • +1

      Cheapest 1 I can find of the same spec is $389 Shipped
      Where's the cheaper one?

      • +2

        forgot about that bastard shipping, I stand corrected

    Good price. The newer Optiplex 9020 SFF PCs go for about $500 refurbished or near new on the Dell Outlet. Those usually have the i5 4570, 500GB HDD and 4GB of RAM and all the other usual additions and a 1 year warranty from Dell. They also stock the USFFs occasionally which would be really amazing HTPCs due to their size.

    These are incredibly reliable but I have always used refurbs from Dell and not from third party companies. They are quite modular so if something fails you can just buy that specific part and replace it.

    These units in my experience are fairly quiet and would indeed make a good HTPC or just a normal workstation.

      For 9020 only ram and hdd is generic type, all others like MB and PSU are custom made.

    This code might get you $10 off…no guarantees, but give a go: NEWCUSTOMER10OFF

    Hope this helps someone! :)

      The code working well. Thanks, StewBalls

    Considering these are a business PC I am surprised they don't come with Windows 7 Professional. I think the eBay listed one in the comments seems better value for a few dollars more with the Pro license.

  • Anyone know whether integrated or discrete graphics in this? Couldn't see it on the linked page and google says discrete was an optional extra on these models.

    • With Optiplexes, it's usually always a integrated GPU unless the user has specified for a discrete option. But few people do put one in becaus the GPU is very underpowered — you can't stick in anything better than say a GT730 because it lacks any 6pin PCIE power cabling.

      Dell SFF's generally don't have GPU's included as they are business machines, not for home usage.

      This particular system only has integrated (notice the lack of HDMI spec listed in the ports)

      • You could always get a DisplayPort to HDMI cable. A quick search of MSY shows them starting at $9.
        DVI to HDMI is even cheaper.

  • You can still replace the CPU with an i7 cpu. Look up the Dell website for its 9010 compatible cpu counterpart.
    I got a 9010 at work running an i7 and a Radeon HD card. No idea of the model though.

  • Upgrade with a SSD and a low-profile GTX750Ti, and you've got yourself a decent / quiet / gaming capable system for a good price.

    For those interested these make a stupidly cheap OSX Hackintosh that runs OSX out of the box. Refer to Tonyx86 website for instructions.

    • even more reason to build a hackintosh because the morons over at cupertino thinks that soldering memory modules on mac minis are a good idea. for that reason alone, id refuse to buy the mac mini.

      • Most pc vendors also solder memory onboard these days it's how ultra books came into existence, DELL, HP, LENOVO etc all do similar things with their models. Soldered ram equals thinner machines.

        • i understand the need for things like laptops, ultrabook, ultra portables, etc. but a desktop machine? sounds slightly overkill to me.

  • +1

    NOTE: this is the desktop version, not the SFF (which has a slimline DVD).

    Anyone know it it needs an active DP->hdmi adapter, or will a passive one work?

    • I would like to know the answer as well.

    • CORRECTION: it is SFF, photo and specs are wrong.

  • Anybody had their order shipped?

    • I've got the machine today and is looking into it right now.

      • Please be informed that your order been dispatched on 14/03/2016 from China and the ETA is 7-10 business days.

        China! WTF !? They hid that well. Saying it was local shipping. No wonder it looked cheap.
        Are all their PCs ex-China?

        • Strange, especially for a Dell product… generic email maybe?

          I'd be contacting them about it though

        • @Spackbace:
          Looking back at the emails, I spotted what I missed before: no GST, no "tax invoice".
          And low flat delivery charge - no extra for WA. Caveat emptor.

          :( Hope you enjoy it anyway despite that

          @Spackbace:

          Thanks Spackbace,
          it arrived (from NSW, still no tax invoice), and is the smaller SFF model, not the one pictured, which I'm happy about. Win 7 pro.

          Has a 2.5" HDD, and room for another, so I added an SSD.
          All up, better spec's than a new Inspiron, and half the price.
          Now, time to make a Hackintosh.

  • Looking for some thoughts.

    I am confident this i5 is suitable for word processing; I will probably edit the occasional movie or picture (nothing heavy) and play the occasional game… probably oldie games like sniper elite 2… I also have a limited budget of $700, I am hoping to spend more on a good (big) LCD.

    From reading the threads, the upgrade options seems to be to add:
    - a SSD (can I assume I should also move the OS onto it) so it runs faster?
    - being a SFF there is still 2 expansion slots for a low profile graphics card?
    - with regards to the graphics card, any recommendations that can support up to a 27inch LCD (nothing fancy, low to mid range should suffice or not)?
    - a wireless adaptor or card might be required? I am tending towards a usb adaptor.. any recommendations again?
