    Chuck an SSD in one of these and it would be a nice cheap home PC.

    • AssociatedCalmago @ Australian Computer Traders on 27/06/2018 - 09:51

      Yep, I personally have on of these as a plex server, you can fit two hdd's. but they must be 2.5" and use a sata splitter. It's a bit messy but it does work.

          First, Ironpaw linked to a product that can't even be used in a desktop SFF machine. That's a laptop mini-PCIE wifi card, it will not work with this machine! Then he links to a USB Wifi card that costs $120. This is IMO very bad advice for him to be telling others, as you will either get a product that doesn't work, or one that costs more than 20 times as much as something that will work fine for you.

          You can get away with a USB Wireless N adaptor for around $5. Seems crazy what people are suggesting here. You don't want to purchase a wifi card that won't work at all, nor do you want to purchase a $100+ USB wifi dongle when a $5 one will work fine.

          There's a lot on eBay. Here's an example:
          https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/USB-WiFi-Wireless-N-Adapter-Wi-F…

        • chichi on 27/06/2018 - 12:04

          As for USB Wifi dongle, I can guarantee you that your $5 dongle won't do 20MB+ per sec throughput. That's why I asked if chichi had AC1900.

          @ironpaw:

          If you read that users manual, you will find that it needs to be configured to come with it from the factory - otherwise you would need to purchase additional brackets, antennas and sockets.

          https://www.dell.com/community/Desktops-General/Optiplex-701…

          I understand you waited many hours for someone with more knowledge than yourself to find that indeed it does come with an mPCIE socket, so that you could reply to me with personal insults. I admit, yeah it does have the socket (I got that wrong, but it still needs a lot of additional parts to work, not included with this 7010), but silly you - didn't look further into how to actually use it. So now you have to stick by your suggestion that mPCIE is still a good idea when you now know that you need all those additional parts (expensive) to get the same wifi experience as a $5 USB dongle.

          He isn't asking for a 20MB/s solution, and surely you would be aware that the mPCIE card you linked to doesn't either!

        • c0balt on 27/06/2018 - 18:01

          @manic:

          It's more expensive and lots more work - Chichi wanted to know if the TP Link USB N150 USB WiFi dongle for $25 from the same seller was a good deal. He isn't after anything that requires additional fabrication work, and wants to spend the least amount possible.

        • c0balt on 27/06/2018 - 11:45

          No, it can't even be installed on these SFF machines as they don't have mini pcie. It's for a laptop, or one of the very few desktop motherboards that support mini-PCIE.

          People should research that before they upvote him. Suggesting that or a $100+ wifi adaptor is crazy.

          Stay away from wifi adaptors that use PCIE solutions. There's no need to waste a PCIE slot on something that USB2 will even be fine for - more expensive and takes times to install.

          @DarkLotus:

          Well there you go.

          However, there's no antenna. You can't run a length inside a metal PC case and there's no where to mount one externally. It's not designed to take a mPCIE wifi card, even if it has the slot, if it didn't come with additional parts from the factory as seen in the link below. Those additional parts are not free, they cost more than a cheap wifi card by itself.

          https://www.dell.com/community/Desktops-General/Optiplex-701…

          So you would have to track down the correct parts, cut into the case, or be very creative on how to DIY an antenna.

          There are $5 USB WiFi adaptors that are external and come with an antenna, still seems crazy to me to suggest mPCIE over USB option for a wifi card. I even took the one out of an older iMac so I could put in a USB3 card instead. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mini-PCI-E-to-USB3-0-PCI-Express…

        • ironpaw on 27/06/2018 - 16:58
          -2

          @c0balt:

          Why does it seem crazy? The part is obviously available. I guess it all depends on your level of skills dealing with PC's. Just because you don't know how to install it doesn't mean others cannot.

        • c0balt on 27/06/2018 - 17:03

          @ironpaw:

          If it was obviously available, why didn't you link to those parts? You said you have great IT skill, so surely you would have mentioned it needed the brackets, antenna and socket and linked to those also?

          The additional Dell SKUs to get a mPCIE wifi card working in an Optiplex 7010 are; F5JH5 (antenna and socket) & RU297 (external antenna). Why didn't you link to those if you had such foresight to recommend a mPCIE solution?

          A cheap USB solution is the best solution here, not your solution to go a mPCIE card or to spend $120 on a USB wifi solution when a $5 USB dongle will do.

          You are welcome to make as much additional hard work for yourself and spending more money than you need to because you think you have great IT skills, but shouldn't be recommending that to others. FYI recommending a convoluted, expensive and uncertain solution is what I would call the opposite of skill.

        "Better" is subjective, SFF is better for expandibiliy, USFF is better if you just need something decent and compact. Performance wise there won't be much difference between the two.

    • codinghelloworld on 27/06/2018 - 10:29

      • terrys on 27/06/2018 - 10:37
        +1

        They mistook it for the SFF [small form factor] which will take a half size GTX 1050i. These ones have room for nothing except swapping out the HDD for two slim drives using a splitter. the power supply in this one couldn't run the 75 watts of the 1050ti even if it would fit.

        They are still a good deal for a you-tube/steam/i-view box that can do a bit of office-work…

      • c0balt on 27/06/2018 - 10:39
        +2

        There are SFF (not just Optiplex, and not just USFF) machines that while on paper should take a GPU, people have found out the hard way that not even a 1030 that draws ~30w works.

        Some USFF allows LP PCIE (this one doesn't), it's not just a size limitation. It can also be because of a locked bios not allowing either enough power or communication through the PCIE port: (example) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejyP8QJtDNc&

      You might be better off with a raspberry Pi3 if you are talking NAS rather than 4K streaming media server as far as cost goes. You can mount it headless and access it via PUTTY [command line] or they come with a home user account for VNC viewer if you want to use an X-server.

    • mick01 on 27/06/2018 - 10:51

      Not a good option for a NAS. Power usage for one reason, yes. Also the lack of space to fit 2 x 3.5" drives.
      If you need a NAS get a new, purpose built one. For example, this two bay Synology for a similar price: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Synology-DiskStation-DS216SE-2-B…

      So it will be fine taken you enable quick sync for each camera and restart blue iris.
      Though many people favour to use desktop CPUs rather than ultra Laptop ones for better performance along with Win 7. Do some research on that.
