      They are fine. I have an i7 860 (12 years old mind you) rig with an old ati gpu thats probably worse than most igpu nowadays with otherwise identical specs (8gb ddr3 ram in dual channel and a 120gb ssd), ran windows 10 just fine for my parents, and yes, they use chrome, and my dad does a fair bit of stock trading on the side as well.

      Just because they are old doesnt mean they are slow, heck, the 4570 is probably faster than any sub $500 laptop chips out there. But of course I probably wouldnt get this deal because its not exactly the cheapest deal around here. Still doesnt make it ewaste.

      Nonsense, plenty of life in them for non graphical tasks. That said my preference is for the tiny USFF version which takes up next to no space.

      The only negative is that the 4th gen CPUs use intel HD 4600 integrated graphics which does not support native 4k playback.

      Tell you what - if you have "ewaste" of this calibre be sure to donate them to a charity so that less fortunate families can make use of them.

      Intel CPUs since 2011 have only increased 2x in single core performance till now, and the last big jump in performance was to these Haswell CPUs. So on normal home applications what takes a new Intel CPU 2 seconds of loading takes 3 seconds of loading on these, hardly seems like a big deal.

      Passmark - Single Core Performance
      Intel Core i5-4570 - 2026
      Intel Core i9-11900KF - 3598

      Multi-core performance is different of course, but you need to be doing things that actually take advantage of more cores, otherwise the potential is going to waste.

          You can get a BT5.0 dongle for under $10 and wired is usually a better option for a desktop that you are not moving around. A cable guy/girl could probably set it up pretty cheap. Many wireless mice/keyboards come with their own wireless capability, sometimes with BT as well.

          Big busineses have thousands of these on leases, standard lease cycles range from 3-5 years, hence you see the most of a model after about 4 or so years after release, when the business returns these to the elasing companies, to get new stuff

          Also why you rarely see 'newer' models

    • InTheThickOfIt on 28/09/2021 - 08:25

      Along with offices, also some educational facilities buy them heavily in bulk as well.

      The educational facility I worked at had probably over 200 of these models. And at one stage, while storage was at times a problem (RAID bundling some small HDDs fixed it), I had 50 Optiplex 960’s in 2017 still running reasonably strong.

    • Kangal on 28/09/2021 - 19:21

      If anyone is wanting budget PC, I will tell you the "golden standard" is:
      Dell Optiplex 9010 SFF
      …why? It's because the PCie x16 slot is on the bottom, which allows you to use a Low-Profile dGPU. The 9020 has the slot on the top, so you can't use it*.

      Good looking box, very compact at like 8L (about the size of a PS4 Pro)
      DVD drive is useful, can be upgraded to BluRay, or that SATA port can be used for another HDD
      Main HDD is slow, but easily upgraded to a budget SSD
      8GB is decent, 16GB is cheap, 32GB is great (but remember this is DDR3 "slow ram")
      PSU is good rating, but no extra power, only 75W open via PCIe
      Mobo doesn't support many features like dual-booting, etc etc
      Core i7-3770 ("k" processors not worth/mobo doesn't support clocking)
      That CPU is now midrange in terms of single-core, but low-end in terms of multi-threaded performance
      Choice of graphics is: Intel HD iGPU (poor), GT 1030 (poor), GTX 750Ti (XB1 level), GTX 1650 (Xbox One X level)
      HOWEVER, there are no Low-Profile dGPUs on the market. Nothing at an acceptable quantity or price. The above 9010 project started before the PS4 release, and its since been able to stay relevant and out-perform the "Pro" console versions, so it has been a great-value path, but not anymore. It will be 2022 at the earliest for the market to recover. Maybe by that stage we will instead look at the Optiplex 7040 with the 14nm, i7-6700, SSDs, and 32GB DDR4 RAM instead, and see some on sale at a discount (under $300), and maybe we will get an RDNA-2 or GTX-3000 dGPU cards that are Low-Profile too (under $200) for a total price between $400-$600 it might not be too shabby. Currently a XSS, PS5, XSX are far cheaper pathways to get good graphics/gaming in a budget. These older Optiplex's are still good if you want regular PC use without the graphics or bells and whistles, but their days are numbered.

      *can't physically access it. You can use a riser, but then the card has to sit outside the box, which is ugly and unacceptable. Otherwise, there is a secondary Pcie slot available on the bottom for the 9020, but this is a x4 lanes, so you won't be getting the full performance. Anything above a GTX 750Ti and you will notice a drop of 5%-30% in performance. In short, it's wasteful to use this with a GTX 1650 and only getting GTX 1050 performance.

    If you want Windows 11, I don't, then these won't be good down the track; but right now, they would make a reasonable Windows 10 box … or better still, a Linux box for desktop and/or server.

    Edit: I would prefer at least 16GB RAM though, at least.

    Despite everyone being negative on these guys the market is tight as hell and you can thank scalpers pc parts and the economy suffering scomo.

    Got one of these for my old man during the last sale on these and managed to get some cheap ram, a cheap bluray drive and a mid range graphics card and it's made a great netrunner / light gaming / netflix and bluray machine.

      (I didnt neg ya). You're right about the specs being very usable.

      But I really disagree with scalpers buying 9020s. They're still in surplus at every refurb PC joint in QLD I know of.

      Perhaps its per state?

      • typhoonadventure on 27/09/2021 - 21:56
        +3

        the scalpers were just a general effect, not really on these online, I have seen them on adelaide of guys buying them from MGS and trying to make $50-100 a unit to people who don't know better.

        The scalpers hitting GPU's has put everything else out of whack, combine that with all the import issues we're having, I have not seen anything like this since the 90s.

        When I got this for the old man we had such a pain getting ANY gpu at a store at a reasonable price let alone one that could fit in here with the power specs.

        Mate did it recently and found it even worse this time around, but hey we're in an age where ps5's are still being scalped a year after release, so we're in that version of mad max now.

        Where instead of v8's and leather we've got Karen's, scalpers and retail sucking.

        Low profile only. A GTX 1650 LP is technically the best you can jam into one of these but that GPU runs hot and probably isn't ideal for this SFF case (it's only 8L in volume!). A GTX 1050 or 1050ti is more suitable if you can source one for a reasonable price second-hand.

        Fwiw, I built a Lenovo M83 (same specs as this) with a GTX 1650 and it's quite a capable machine.

        You're not gonna be seeing 100fps in the new cod/BF but it will get you 60 fps.

        I did a fan swap for the GPU and zip tied an 80mm fan I had laying around to the GPU heatsink. Thermals were mid 70s before and high 60s. Whole rig is virtually silent as well. CPU doesn't go above 70 pretty much ever. Stock GPU fan is a nightmare, noisy AF.

        I set the "cooling mode" in bios to performance for the case fan and CPU fan.

    While the 9020 SFF is one of my all-time favourite office PCs, they're getting a bit long in the tooth now - especially at this price. For these specs, I personally wouldn't spend more than $120.

        Gumtree is your friend if you're after a better deal. I previously snagged 3 of these for $80 each during the middle of last year. Same specs except that they had a 1TB HDD instead of an SSD.

        Slapped an inexpensive SSD for booting and a cheap, low profile GPU (RX550) for a measly sum of $250 all up. It made an awesome esports PC for a few of my friends' kids who wanted an entry-level machine that didn't cost the earth.

            @boomramada: If you're patient and quick enough, they do come about eventually. People usually advertise their old stuff for way more than it's worth but you never know how much they end up selling for as list prices are generally inflated on those marketplaces.

              @OSienna: This is true, I found a HPz210 full tower, comes with a free crappy gpu that can run gta 5 at 720p30, for 100 bucks.

              But, those are usually comes as individual and not as Ozbargain deals, that needs more than 10 units sold to qualify.

            • boomramada on 28/09/2021 - 10:53

              @OSienna: I agree this probably worth around $120-$150 but this is still a deal as shops like FuseTech and others, they well priced it, that's why these things usually get sold out. Not saying you can't get them cheap, it just like winning a lottery. That is like other day I got myself a tp-link unopened switch for free.

    8 year old processor… not bad if you want to lift nan out of the 2000s and replace her old pentium 4. Otherwise hard pass.

    Optiplex has been the goto PC's in ozbargain for the last 3-4 years. Surely there's a new batch of refurbished office PCs coming soon.

    Corporates usually upgrade every 3-4 years. So the 7th Gen or 8th Gen even shouldn't be too far away I reckon

      You can pick up a somewhat newer Optiplex 7040 SFF for only an extra $109, delivered ($179.99 + $30 - $319) from here. A slightly better proposition but still over-priced IMHO (should be sub-$300 really):

      • Intel Core i5 6500 Processor 3.2Ghz (newer 6th gen CPU - Intel technically skipped the 5th generation desktop CPUs and focused on laptops during that period)
      • 256Gb Solid State Drive (double the capacity)
      • USB WiFi included
