Howdy!

Taking advantage of the 10% off discount from eBay i've dropped the price again on the Popular 9020 Desktop stock.

Pretty much the same as this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/368948 - However this current stock does not have SSD's :(

Dell Optiplex 9020 SFF
Core i5 4570 3.2GHz (4C)
8GB RAM
500GB HDD
They have 7/8 Home COA's but they are imaged with Windows 10.


Also

I've got about 40ish of the 9010 i7 stock which i've dropped the price on too.

Dell OptiPlex 9010 i7 SOLD OUT

The interesting thing with these is they have standard ATX boards and normal PSU connectors so you can fit them in a normal case if you wanted to build something up. Don't forget these are licensed as well.

  • Does any of these has usb3 ports? Thanks

    • Both do.

    • Just a comment they pci adapter can be pretty easily add for 20 bucks or so.

      • Just to add, this does reduce the amount of available PCI-e lanes if you care about ultimate gaming. Though in reality usually effects performance by 1 to 2%.

        • +6

          I thought I was on the Breville smart grinder page still and reading these comments made me confused at how smart it could possibly be.

        • @StoneSin: What, your smart grinder can't play Crysis?

      2 on the front and 2 on the back.
      They're the ones marked "SSusb symbol" you can see in the pictures.

    We bought the 9020 last time around. That offer had an SSD and we added a normal larger mechanical drive (2 minute job, tutorial on YT).

    Then bought a low profile 1050 video card. All worked a treat. Pretty decent mid-level gaming machine. My wife plays Planet Coaster on it, and it runs that at 1080.

    • Did you have any issues with Windows licensing due to hardware upgrades i.e. your ssd + nvidia cards?

      • No, I did same thing, no licensing issues.

        • Awesome. Then this is worth buying considering the price and spec.

          I built one with similar spec few years ago 4th gen i5 , 8gb ram… still working pretty well.

      • +1

        Windows 8/10 licensing is tied to your motherboard. You can basically change out almost everything else, but as long as you use the same motherboard you will be fine.

    • Just for clarity, the 1050 card only fits in the PCI-e x4 2.0 slot and not the PCI-e x16 3.0 slot. Difference will be 5-20fps depending on the game.

      • Ahh… Does the drive cage block the card, too long? Don't know of any short SFF GPU cards either - that are worth it anyway.

        • +4

          No, the PCIe 3.0 is located JUST above the PSU supply, so the fan/cooler is blocking the slot. The PCIe 2.0 is above the 3.0 slot so it fits it in perfectly. But still, you are losing up to 10% performance by putting the 1050ti into a PCI-e x4 2.0 slot

          Happy to answer more questions because I have both the Optiplex 9020 and HP G1 800 elitedesk

          @Homr:

          Have you tried running some benchmarks on it
          http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/3dmark-download.html

          On my self-built PC

          Score in Fire Strike.

          Graphics Score 7 085
          Physics Score 6 820
          Combined Score 2 514

          Overall score: 5965
          with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (2GB) and Intel Core i5-3570 (3,400 MHz) Processor

          @scrimshaw: I sure have mate.

          On the i7 4770 with 1050Ti using the PCIe 2.0 @ x4 slot, I can't get any higher than 6050. The average benchmark from other users were from 6500 - 7000

          With the i5 4570 with 1050ti using PCI-e 3.0 @ x16 slot, I was getting a score of 6200

          I'm planning to swap over the optiplex i7 cpu to my HP G1 800 elitedesk.

        • @Homr:

          that's cool! in that case it looks like just having a GTX 1050 (non Ti edition) might be enough for some users of the optiplex, if they can live with just 2GB of VRAM.

        • @scrimshaw: Do you own the optiplex?

        • +2

          @Homr:

          I used to have one, it had the same configuration but at the time I was not using a Pascal GPU. I donated the machine to some nonprofit business and now have a Ryzen setup, but I later also bought a Ivy Bridge HTPC with a 1050 in it.

        • @Homr: Interesting… Would something like this fit in then;

          https://www.gearbest.com/graphics-video-cards/pp_1261865.htm…

          Having trouble remember the layout of the 9020 internally. :P

        • We bought it as a cheap machine for the kids to play Minecraft but the machine with a 1050 can really handle itself, relatively speaking.

          Sure, you're not going to get 4k/60fps, and for demanding games you're going to be dropping the details and possible resolution down a notch or two. But for what we use it for, we were really impressed.

          Added the 1050, added a HDD for bigger storage (kept the SSD for the operating system) and bought the caddy for the HDD. If it wasn't for the crazy videocard prices, this would have been even better value than it was (and it was still good).

          I reckon we spent under $500 in total, for a decent, stable gaming machine.

        • @McFly: Yeh…. Got that. Hence why I linked a low-profile single slot 1050ti.

        • @ryang: Wow, what the hell is that ugly, dodgy looking thing? Just get a low profile GTX1050 TI?

      • Could you get one of those PCI-E extension ribbon cables and mount the card somewhere else?

        • the perfect place would be where the PCI 2.0 slot is. Its a huge design flaw from Dell on how they put the longer PCI 3.0 slot just above the PSU supply.

          I really like the Dell, but the HP G1 has better airflow and can fit up 3xHDD while the Dell can only fit 1xSSD and 1xHDD

    • +2

      Definitely needs an SSD. The HDD is the real bottleneck on these and it's a super cheap upgrade.

    • Can you provide a link to the video, please?
      Ta!

      • +1

        I followed this guide
        https://youtu.be/IFcb3SZwtHA

        We had to buy a 2.5 caddy (about $8 off Ebay). You do lose the use of the DVD drive though, the HDD sits in that section.

        • +1

          Ah, that's what I was doing wrong. I couldn't see any space in there. I have a 2.5" caddy, can always get a little mech drive & stick it in there. I guess we could also get an external HDD or an External DVD drive. Works out to the same I suppose.
          Thanks for the link. :)

    • I got the 9020 last time with the SSD as well, I finally got around to picking up a Gigabyte 1050 Low Profile (not the Ti) version, and it works very well… though I'm only playing Diablo 3, so I'm not really pushing the system… for comparison sake, the onboard video would do 1280x720 with medium settings in that game at a reasonable frame, whereas now I can do 1920x1080 at high settings with any real issues (smooth 60fps all the time pretty much)

  • -1

    Price already uplifted.

    • The PAYBACK code is not valid until 10:00 am on the 27/04. Try and use it then.

  • What ram do these use? DDR3 1333?

    • +4

      DDR3 Mate, the should have 1600Mhz but I can't guarantee sorry. Ram configurations are mixed.

  • OP, the picture on the OptiPlex 9010 listing seems to be SFF, not Desktop, or am I miss something?

    • I'm not to sure what you're seeing but it is the desktop version.

      Hopefully this pic bellow helps.

      Picture

      It goes

      USFF -> SFF -> Desktop -> Tower

      • Ahhh, I see. I've a preconception that slim casing means SFF.

        • +1

          just to make it confusing for you HP call them SFF even though they are desktop format >_<

  • which would be the better of these 2 in the long term? cheers

    • 9010 is slightly better and can presumably fit full size GPU etc.

      • +1

        No, 9010 won't fit full-height video card either.

    • CPU comparison:
      https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i5-4570-vs-Intel-…

      I just grabbed one of the 9010s for my parents. Slightly older but slightly faster. Personally I prefer the standard PSU plugs/sockets too, easier for me to fix it or upgrade in future.

  • I got an i5 3570, would either one of these pcs be a welcome upgrade to my PC? Thoughts.

    • +3

      Not really.

    • +1

      do you have a SSD or HDD as your primary/OS drive?
      how much RAM does you i5 have?

      • 16gb, ssd primary drive.

        • +1

          cool, just asking to see if you didn't have a primary SSD + decent RAM.

          as coxymla says - these pc's would give minimal improvement on performance.

  • OP please comment. I am looking for one. I want to connect it to my TV through HDMI for streaming through Kodi and some occasional adobe premier pro use. Which one would you recommend?

    • The 9020 SFF (because of size), but you'll need a Display port to HDMI Cable/ Adapter or add a cheap Low Profile video card.

      • Mean these do t come with HDMi port? How mucb that should cost?

        • No HDMI ports, cables/ adapters are pretty cheap.

    • I bought one of these and got a decently quality DisplayPort to HDMI cable on eBay for $4.65. Works fine.

      • +1

        Needed one of those the other day and ended up paying $21 in JB. Amazing they are still ripping people off with cable pricing these days.

        • Ebay takes time to arrive. So plan ahead.

        • @lordra: True, but I thought some place would have a reasonably priced option. Tried two dollar store and they didn't have any. Kmart sells an adapter for $10 but it was out of stock. $21 was the cheapest I could find from a quick search of physical stores in a typical Westfield. I knew they were cheap online but was a last minute requirement.

        • @nubzy: MSY have them for as low as $9 for 2m for local stock. They are well priced if you don't want to wait for postage or need something on the day

  • Damn I would have bought if it had the SSD

    • +1

      Here is the one with SSD config.

      • I was hoping for the $283.50 one from previous deal

  • G"day rep
    Please iam after a I5 2500K cpu ,haver you got one by any chance?
    Thanks heaps
    :-)

    • +3

      Pretty unlikely to get K CPUs in office PC disposals.
      Go on OCAU forums and/or Buy/Sell/Swap PC Parts (AU) group on facebook.

      Sorry mate don't see that sort of stuff.

  • If you want to use two screens then a Lenovo M92P is better as they have two displayport ports, one hidden on motherboard on the inside. Very similar price.

    • +2

      Both of these machines have 2 Display Port connections.

  • Considering trying one of these PCs out as it'll damn well be faster than my old Phenom II x4 925 (which my laptop processes outspeeds). Thanks for posting these OP, I was wondering if you know about the board configuration of the Desktop 9010, mostly just to know if a video card could be installed in the PCIe x16 3.0 unlike in the SFF model?

    • My i5-3570 Optiplex 9010 refurb is faster than my Phenom II x6 1055 :)

    • I've upgraded from Phenom 1055t and my PC is noticeably faster

  • +3

    bought one of these for my father in march with an SSD upgrade. It has been an excellent upgrade, convenient, and quickly shipped. i never got to email a thanks to you, so giving you a thank you now for a great system.
    Cheers fellas.

    • +1

      This ^^.

    • Agreed - really fast service, and the machine was in great condition. Zero issues after 2 months using it.

    • +1

      Great to hear. If you haven't already we'd love the feedback through eBay. Nobody leaves feedback anymore.

  • Interested in buying the 9010 for my in laws. If I want to go in for the 240gb SSD and 16gb ram upgrades do i have to add three items to my cart and checkout?

    • Yes

  • Quick question.. which is better out of the i5 and i7?
    Also can is there enough room in there for me to add another HDD?

    EDIT: Also if i upgrade to the SSD, do i lose the 500gb HDD?

      • I followed that video when I was trying to install SSD and HDD together.

        Hard drives bigger than 2TB are physically bigger than the one on the video so it will NOT fit the SSD and the HDD inside the caddy together. You have to put the SSD under hard drive caddy

    • i taped the SSD from the old PC onto the SSD from the new one. too cheap and unprepared for the caddie. it had the extra power cable to have it connected, and i had a spare sata cable to use. I also put 4gig of ram from the old PC (pretty much the same ram, not running dual channel because my father doesnt need it).

      see mcfly's youtube

      • You TAPED them together? Ingenius! I would have thought of double sided sticky tape. Maybe even stick it on the roof or the wall of the cabinet.

        • one on top of the other

  • We bought one from the last deal to use it as Plex server and it works great. Easily 2 or 3 720p streams simultaneously.

    Rep: we need one for office. Just for a conference room. Any suggestions on lower spec models? Thanks in advance.

  • Thanks for the post. Question to seller, do you have any good deals on still usable laptops, also do they even come with a small warranty to make sure there is no defects on arrival?

    • Might be worth taking a look here. Always have great pricing on i7 stock

      http://stores.ebay.com.au/Australian-Computer-Traders/Laptop…

      • Some very good deals, especially if you don't need brand new. What is the warranty situation with them? Of course I wouldn't expect 12 month warranty on refurb stuff, but it would be nice to know they were covered for a month if they have DOA problems.

        • everything we supply has a base 3 Month RTB warranty.

  • FYI the i7 3770 is better and cheaper than the i5 4570

  • Too bad low profile 1050ti 4gb cards are more expensive than before :(

  • "They have 7 Home COA's but they are imaged with Windows 10."
    Is that legal?

    • +3

      Yes, MS wants you on Win10 so they will let you activate with old keys.

      • source? I wouldn't assume anything with MS. You can activate certain versions with volume license keys also - doesn't mean it's legal.

        • +1

          This is very old news, Win 10 was a free upgrade for Win 7/8 users for a fixed period upon release. They ended up extending indefinitely and in the first major update added the ability to use 7/8 keys on a clean install, not just for upgrades.

          https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10…

        • @ashanrath:
          Yes, The MS free upgrade to Windows 10, as far as I knew, lasted for a certain period. The free upgrade now, I thought, was only for customers who use "assistive technologies".
          So, yes I know it works. You can upgrade. But is it legal if you aren't an "assistive technologies" user?
          The link you provide was written in Feb 2016 whilst the upgrade was free for everyone.
