    Most excellent. These have been $400 in the past for 6500T.

    Idle it uses 10W so is good for an always online PC.

    Edit: Can the ram be upgraded to 16gb?

    Wifi onboard?

    • bdl on 30/04/2021 - 11:59

      Connectivity:
      Wi-Fi Built-in!

      • look at the link…
      • xyron on 30/04/2021 - 12:00

        No antenna connection on the back of the unit (from the photos) though, which admittedly may not be the photos of the actual unit for sale.

        One issue I have had with people selling these as refurbs is that some sellers say they have wifi onboard but what they actually do is just throw in a shitty USB wifi dongle (which is not the same as having 2x2 wifi via mini pci-e on the mainboard!)

        • AssociatedRecomputeAus @ Recompute on 30/04/2021 - 12:12

          Hi there, the do have wifi onboard with antenna on the back. Images are just for reference.

          • xyron on 30/04/2021 - 12:19

            @RecomputeAus: Thank you - looking at buying a couple of these for work!

  • w0mbat on 30/04/2021 - 11:57

    Indeed most excellent!
    Can I please check which SSD they are using?
    Is it the M2 or the SATA?
    I'm hoping it's M2 so I can put a 2.5" SATA drive in it for storage.
    Thanks

    • bdl on 30/04/2021 - 11:58

      M.2 - look at the storage upgrade options on the link.

      • xyron on 30/04/2021 - 12:01

        again, this is a legitimate question because these have a 2.5" drive bay and an M.2 slot - not clear on the specs whether the SSD is actually an M.2 model or 2.5" one.

        • AssociatedRecomputeAus @ Recompute on 30/04/2021 - 12:13

          They have M.2 ssd already.

  • smeng on 30/04/2021 - 12:07

    • Hello22 on 30/04/2021 - 12:15

      I use one of these as my work computer with 3 monitors, runs nice and fast. Would make an excellent streaming machine for many years.

    • Chiang on 30/04/2021 - 17:41

      Yes and this small form sits below most TVs. I use one with a wireless Logitech keyboard and mouse combo. For straight media get a Chromecast but for a PC on the tv this is perfect.

  • ItsMeAgro on 30/04/2021 - 12:08

    Hmm CPU is fast enough for a great budget gaming PC, but often these need to be moved to a bigger case AND given a stronger PSU if you want to put a gaming GPU in it.

    • FireRunner on 30/04/2021 - 12:09
      +8

      Based on the size, I doubt the motherboard has a PCIe Slot

    • bargaino on 30/04/2021 - 12:14
      +9

      Move to a bigger case???

      The only reason to buy these is the beautiful small case.

      The i5-7500T in these benchmarks about the same as the popular Optiplex 9020 SFF, which is cheaper and has room for a GTX 1050ti or similar.

      • bdl on 30/04/2021 - 12:23

        The only reason to buy these is the beautiful small case.

        Plus lower power consumption vs. 9020SFF

        • bargaino on 30/04/2021 - 12:42

          Is there much difference in idle power, or just when under heavy load?
          The 9020 had very low average draw in normal use.

          If not adding a GPU, I expect the newer chip has better graphics power though.

          • yahms on 30/04/2021 - 15:03

            @bargaino: yes. different series of CPU. the micro form factor (MFF) use the same CPU as ultrabooks, the USFF, SFF use higher power parts with a higher base clock.

            the Micro form factor is a great low power machine for always-on use cases, like security software. the power supply being a simple external brick is easily replaced too vs the USFF or SFFs

    • cydia9k on 30/04/2021 - 13:20

      I can't ever see rehousing one of these SFF packages as a good move - you're better buying a motherboard that fits your target form factor and going from there.

      The TDP is limited on these CPUs to keep temps low and therefore cooling noise low.

  • shaybisc on 30/04/2021 - 12:11

    would this work as a NAS, with added HDD? (Plex with 4K)?

    • barge-in hunter on 30/04/2021 - 12:54

      100% - that's how I have mine setup.

      I was considering shucking a 2.5" 5tb drive and putting it inside ( along side the M2 drive), but ended up just plugging in a USB 3.5 I had lying around.

      Plex transcoding does struggle on 4k files, even with the hardware acceleration from this version igpu.

  • ttkc on 30/04/2021 - 12:18

    This looks like a great Plex server.

    • CoronavirusVaccine on 30/04/2021 - 13:43
      +4

      These units run great as a virtualization host at home at low idle power consumption. Put some extra RAM on it, great for running docker containers or VMs: Some examples:

      • file server / Plex, with a large external USB drive
      • domain controller
      • virtualised routers (eg pfSense / RouterOS), VPN server
      • security camera recorder (eg Blue Iris)
      • home assistant / MQTT
      • Minecraft / Valheim server
      • web server

      Performance/$ is excellent compared to a branded NAS but requires a lot more time/skills to configure.

      Great to see 7th gen from corporate swap hitting the market. Can't wait for next year when 8th gen arrives on the secondary market for the 6 cores.

  • mini2 on 30/04/2021 - 12:54

    These aren't bad at all and they aren't anywhere as ancient as the OzB's favs Optiplex 9020.

    Awww I would have bought one - currently use one of these as my work PC, albeit with more RAM and a different graphics card.

    Good price I think for $299

      • CoronavirusVaccine on 30/04/2021 - 20:01

        If storage is not an issue generally the small TinyMiniMicro form factor will have advantages in terms of occupied space as well as idle power consumption.
