PENNY5TAKE20

Looks like a better deal than the recent Dell OptiPlex 9020s

A teardown video on YouTube shows you how to upgrade this for gaming with a 1050TI (the model depicted in YouTube comes with only 4GB DDR3)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjJGa8dIe2g

Add a cheap cheap SSD and the above mentioned 1050ti, and you'll be set to play most, if not all recent games at 1080p!

Looks like a steal for the price!

I picked up one of these to use as a server.

      I guess you missed the part of the comment, where the OP mentions a 1050TI as part of that scenario.

      Even if he can't play any games, 144hz makes a huge difference on your desktop.

    for OS says not OS, only the Win8 COA (certificate of Authenticity), the Microsoft win 10 upgrades finished long ago unless you need special accessibility, or reinstall Win8 and enjoy.

      You still can, google it.

    • HomeAlone on 07/09/2018 - 10:01

      They killed the upgrade tool, but you can still upgrade using Win10 installation media or even do a fresh install and use 7/8/8.1 key to activate.

        Is this legally ok?

        Thinking about for business use.

        • noz on 07/09/2018 - 13:05

          Personally I wouldn't do it for business. Microsoft usually don't side with them making less money when it comes to grey areas in licensing.
          Technically, the activation should work, but if you are audited they will want to see licenses / COAs.

        • bazza87 on 07/09/2018 - 21:31

          If Microsoft has an issue with it they wouldn't let the earlier version codes activate on their win 10 activation servers… They want everyone on win 10 so they can make cash selling apps and office 365.

          It's perfectly fine for home or business, you just type in the COA that came with the device in the activation prompt, no illegal, no shady practices or reg hacks, just simple legal activation. :D

      If you use a screen reader or keyboard shortcuts occasionally, that's special accessibility.

      • Zorlin on 07/09/2018 - 14:11

        Even the accessibility tool is gone now.

    I just bought a cheap laptop from greys and bought this one as well :\

  • Jamesx on 07/09/2018 - 09:25

    where were they when the 10% is on? always missed the boat…

  • AlienC on 07/09/2018 - 09:34

    Yes these are good value computers but they have been good value for many many months now if not years.

    They are not depreciating or going down in price like many other pc and tech hardware and so not much of a deal really tbh.

    Still one of the cheapest you can get but they have actually been going up in relative price compared to other offerings.

    The tech community is not stupid..

    Selling the same device for same price years later is pretty much akin to raising prices so it is a high pass for me because I don't see the drop in value but actually increase in relative price so drop in overall value performance for the money.

    These should honestly be sub $200 minimum now if following all other hardware prices and trends.

    It is like selling an Xbox 360 at $150 when the Xbox One S goes for barely more than that.

    Lower your prices or get competitive and then we shall see.

    • smileyface on 07/09/2018 - 10:10

      I see your point man.
      Would you please be able to steer me in the direction of a better “bang for buck” for a similar figure?
      Also, would this be the cheapest SSD in the ‘256’ range?

      This has 16gb ram though. When compared to the i5 3rd gen and i7 2gen last year going for 200+ for 8gb, it's basically same price.

      • AlienC on 07/09/2018 - 19:56

        That is true.

  • amanvell on 07/09/2018 - 10:21

    Any idea if the motherboard will fit in a standard case, or does it have custom mounts?

    (ugh non-standard PSU)

  • Skrop on 07/09/2018 - 10:25

    It's good value just for the RAM.

    Trying to buy a new 4 gig DDR4 RAM chip is around $50 so for me it's worth it for that alone.

    These PC's make good VM servers so the more the better.

    • magic8ballgag on 07/09/2018 - 10:27
      +2

      I think you'll find the RAM in these are DDR3, but I agree that they're more than capable of acting as a home server.

    • ywpn on 07/09/2018 - 11:05

      Agreed.
      I need more DDR3 - tempted to just buy it purely for RAM, and sell the rest of the parts.

    • Skrop on 07/09/2018 - 13:03

      Yep I was wrong, it was only DDR3.

      We have similar PC's at work and I misread what it used.

    Add a cheap cheap SSD and the above mentioned 1050ti, and you'll be set to play most, if not all recent games at 1080p!

    Any PC with an SSD and graphics card can do the same, how well they'll do it is a different story.

  • pacificstorm on 07/09/2018 - 10:30

    Any good bargains to be had for a 1050ti for partnering with this unit?

  • Wilburre on 07/09/2018 - 11:01

    So this will only support low profile cards without the requirement of 8pin powah? So limited to 1050ti low profile?

  • superforever on 07/09/2018 - 11:04

    The problem of this kind of desktop, they are using custom motherboard it won't fit into standard computer case. Otherwise can move it to a new case and put in a full side graphic card.

    • magic8ballgag on 07/09/2018 - 11:10
      +3

      As mentioned every time a similar desktop is posted here, most buyers interested in these machines are purely for their form factor.

      • superforever on 07/09/2018 - 16:28

        I understand if they don't make it with custom motherboard like some slim form factor PC they have before. It will be more useful for a lot of people.

  • Toddale on 07/09/2018 - 11:20

    You can actually upgrade the PSU and put a higher powered graphics card but it won't fit in the case…

    • Ghosteye on 07/09/2018 - 11:37

      Do they use proprietary stuff in it? I'm tempted to rip the parts out of the box and getting them into another case with a better psu

      • Toddale on 07/09/2018 - 11:56

        The video seems to suggest the power supply is proprietary but you can solder an adapter together since the voltages are actually the same.

    What is the noise like with these?

    The similar sized Dell are supposed to be very quiet.

      As mentioned above, if you install Windows 10 with the product key for Windows 8, The Activation Status on Windows 10 will state: Windows is activated with a digital license. I have done this on some machines and the activation is legitimate and permanent.

      edit: just realised you were wanting to get Windows 10 by itself, not on this machine.

      • Donkeyface on 07/09/2018 - 14:36

        yes, separate issue. but thanks.

    Anyone who needs the Windows 8.1 installation media can download it through Microsoft here.

    I've already downloaded the Windows 8.1 ISO but I haven't tested it yet.

  • RadioBirdman on 17/09/2018 - 23:10

    Downloaded the Windows 10 ISO using Media Creation Tool,
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10
    created a bootable USB with Rufus, installed, no serial required (imbedded in BIOS).
    Activated, it's Windows 10 Home.

    Just in case some people are going to ask, yes the gtx 1050 ti works and typing on the build as we speak. https://imgur.com/a/UxBHWcS

    total build cost for desktop + gpu = $480

    For around $300 extra, you can get this https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/403605, but of course it's a different PC all together as this is a business grade deskop. This should last me a fair while :)
