Howdy!

We are taking advantage of the 10% off promo and lowered the price of the Popular 9020 stock. This will give us the lowest level of pricing during one of these 10% off promos.

I've also added some very cheap i3 Desktops to the mix as well.

There are 85 of the 9020's with a SSD configuration. Once they sell out, the listing will revert to units with a 500Gb HDD.

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

    pity it is SFF, else if it was full size then you could swap power supply add a graphics card.

    • djevoultion on 31/08/2018 - 08:36

      You can still add a gtx 1050 or gtx 1050ti to the optiplex 9020 without swapping the power supply. It's quite easy. I'm running a gtx 1050 on it now. Works great.

        It has to be a low profile one, correct?

        • Homr on 31/08/2018 - 10:11
          -1

          Yes correct.

          Keep in mind, 1050ti can only fit in the 4x PCI slot and not the 16x PCI slot. Depending on the game, it can range between 10 - 20% performance loss

        • djevoultion on 31/08/2018 - 11:15

          Yes that's right. Forgot to add that. Has to be low profile and it fits in the 4x pci slot.

        • leftspeaker2000 on 31/08/2018 - 13:12

          @Homr: 16x to 8x slots don't matter at all. Not sure about using a 4x. I cant imagine it would be anywhere close to 20%.

        • Homr on 31/08/2018 - 13:20
          +1

          @leftspeaker2000: Yes I know that 16x and 8x don't matter at all, thats why i said 16x and 4x. Also, the 4x slot is PCI 2.0, not 3.0

          Some games had 20% loss in performance, I think BF4 was one of them when you're playing in 1440P

          The majority games were about 10% loss. 10% loss is a HUGE dip when it comes to gaming, that's going from 70fps to 63FPS or 60fps to 54FPS etc

        • leftspeaker2000 on 31/08/2018 - 13:45

          @Homr: Interesting. The more you know ! Yeah 10% is pretty big when gaming. I would only be using something like this as a HTPC. I would just need a video card with a h.265 decoder built in.

        • O O on 31/08/2018 - 14:45

          @Homr: It's better off having an HP EliteDesk 800 if intended to use dual slot PCIex16 graphics card, isn't it?

        • Homr on 31/08/2018 - 14:46

          @O O: Correct, that's the one I'm using now.

          Also the Elitedesk 800 can fit 2HDD and 1SSD without removing the optical drive.

          Another advantage of the Elitedesk it provides better airflow inside as it is a little bit bigger than the Dell but not too big.

        • Cartman2530 on 31/08/2018 - 15:35

          @Homr: True, I've just gotten a HP Prodesk 600 G1 SFF which looks pretty much the same as the elitedesk.
          Really happy that it can fit 2 3.5" HDDS plus a 2.5" SSD in it!

        • Homr on 31/08/2018 - 15:37

          @Cartman2530: Do you know the difference between the Prodesk 600 and Elitedesk 800?

        • Cartman2530 on 31/08/2018 - 15:43

          @Homr: Pretty sure the elitedesk is a high-reliability version of the prodesk with a few extra features.

          I was talking about the SFF case, its the same for both, both can fit 2 3.5" HDDs and a 2.5" HDD.

        • Homr on 31/08/2018 - 15:43

          @Cartman2530: Nice

        • jnewau on 31/08/2018 - 15:51

          @Homr:

          Mostly stuff around manageability. It also has a longer lifecycle (HP call it their Stable Image Platform for long term SOE deployment for corporate customers)

          In short, nothing you need to worry about, the Prodesk 600s are fine.

        • Homr on 31/08/2018 - 15:59

          @jnewau: Lifecycle? Isn't that based on Motherboards and CPU?

      Pity? I'm pretty sure one of the main reasons people buy these second-hand desktops is because of their form-factor.

      • Occas on 31/08/2018 - 08:59

        My first “gaming” PC was an ex govt PC (like I assume these are) with a gpu added. Was totally fine for UT and the other games of the day. The base specs are not too shabby for such a purpose, but agreed a larger case/psu to enable a full gpu would be better for that use case.

        Are these the same as the ones I use at work in that there’s a second sata data cable but not a second sata power cable so you can’t plug in a second drive?

      • garage sale on 31/08/2018 - 09:01

        SFF is great in offices and if people just want a PC and screen perhaps at home , but expansion is very limited due to the physical,size and wattage of the power supply, and card expansion due to space above the slots ….. we still have a machine at home 2nd gen i5 and after adding an rx480 graphics card is used for gaming.

        just depends what people want to do, but the current cost of RAM makes used machines attractive if they can be expanded.

      • hamwhisperer on 31/08/2018 - 10:03

        Yup 100% that, it's a very small, quiet, simple and reliable machine which is quite fast.

        • RedHab on 31/08/2018 - 11:52

          How quiet are they?
          I was thinking of turning it into a home theatre PC, with a fanless low profile GTX 1030 for the x265 decoding.

          @RedHab: Fairly good to be honest, it's not dead silent but it's pretty quiet.

          When you initially turn it on a little fan test happens for 2 seconds but after that, very quiet.

        With things like the 5th gen cpus which we had, we upgraded from Win 7 SOE to Win10, so it was done with new hardware, someone worked out it was better idea than opening up the machines, adding more RAM, telling people to go to lunch, reimage, etc.

        If people are costing you $60-$100 per hour you minimise disruption and risk and keep people working.

      As you said. It came with 3mths warranty and the pc failed within 1year, which mean its out of the warranty period. You are lucky they even tried to help you by sending you a user manual to self diagnose, because if you bought a pc from Dell direct and contacted Dell for after support they will just direct you to their sales dept.

    Once you've added 16GB of RAM and a 1050 ti how far off are you from buying just a second hand gaming rig or one that someone has already upgraded?

    i.e. here is one for $650 - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Gaming-PC-Dell-Optiplex-9010-SFF…

    • railspider on 31/08/2018 - 12:26

      That's only $585 after the 10% off, pretty good!

      But this deal is $261 + $170 for the 1050 used in the deal you linked:
      Only $431

      Your ebay deal has a slightly larger SSD and another 8GB of RAM (although one gen older CPU), not really worth the $150 more you're paying but not terrible for prebuilt.

    • garage sale on 31/08/2018 - 13:06

      check power saving and sleep mode, sometimes when it goes into power save it shuts down the USB port, when it powers back up, it might not sense the dongle coming up or check for it. Buy a cheap wireless card like TP-link and use that if you want quick fix rather than fault finding.

      Hi Balmaino, sorry just a quick question, I'm looking at doing this too, I have watched a few youtube clips on installing 1050ti which looks fairly simple. However when the computer reboots after putting the graphics card do you know if it will auto install all the required drivers and start working or will I have to manually install the drivers etc for the new graphics card to start working?

      Sorry I'm a computer spastic and my kids have been bugging me for a computer to play fortnite on and I think this is going to be my best option, thanks mate

      • Balmaino on 31/08/2018 - 14:39

        You'll have to pop the graphics card in, then head to the nvidia website and download drivers, nvidia have a package that makes it pretty easy:
        https://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/109860
        after install you may need to reboot, then change the monitor connection from the computer's monitor ports to the graphic card's monitor ports and that's it

        • Homr on 31/08/2018 - 14:44
