        Yeh that's what I'm talking about. But should still expensive, should be around $250 range

        I picked up a i7 4770 3years ago for $239

        Most people have pointed out that there isn't much difference between 4th Gen till 7th Gen. It's only till 8th where there is a significant improvements

      • Toxinor on 28/09/2021 - 09:09

        6th Gen doesn't support windows 11, that's the point. Otherwise 4th Gen is enough for most casual processing.

      And by that point, businesses will be even further toward migration to cloud based email and office suites (we migrate more to o365 than you can imagine)…

      It all comes down to the SteamDeck.
      If its a hit; windows loses a chunk of the gaming segment of PC owners to ArchLinux.

      If its a flop, people will still demand windows.

      Im not stupid, i know linux wont 'kill windows' but this is the first time there is a real reason with no "buts" to making the swap; (potentially) better gaming support?! Come on SteamDeck!

    You can polish a turd but it will still be a turd

    • OSienna on 27/09/2021 - 23:47
      +5

      Nah, I wouldn't call the 9020 SFF a turd. It's still very "fit-for-purpose" as an office PC today with an upgraded SSD.

      There was a period when the GTX 1030, 1050, 1050ti and 1650 GPUs were reasonably priced and they paired very well with an Optiplex 9020 series for budget-minded gamers. Those days are a distant memory now

      • mr_fjackson on 28/09/2021 - 16:48

        What would you recommend instead ? It seems everything has gone up, for example the AMD Athlon ( duel core CPU ) has gone up to $135

        I just built an i3 system, but fortunately I had an old graphics card gathering dust otherwise it would have been an expensive build.

        • OSienna on 28/09/2021 - 21:29

          I wouldn't recommend anything at the moment if you're on a tight budget (other than an XBX or PS5 if gaming is your intent).. GPU prices have yet to return anywhere close to pre-COVID levels.

          For those playing older games, I would suggest holding onto your existing PC until supply-side issues are resolved - perhaps upgrade bits that make sense e.g. SSD and RAM; or scrounge around for a proper deal on the used market.

          If you've got a hankering for newer titles, then keep an eye out for stock on the latest generation consoles and snag one if you can.

          Otherwise, a new 5600G or 5700G system if you're desperate to get something now to tied you over.

          But if all you need is an office PC, then any old potato with an SSD should do fine without paying through the nose.

        Fair comment. When apple announces new phones the price of the preceding series goes down, but here when W11 gets announced the EOL of these PCs are more concrete yet it's more expensive than last time

    I think $200 delivered, for 8GB Win 10 Pro, is a good deal. Even if it's a 4570. I still run the 4590 in my desktop on Linux Mint and it's insanely fast.

    For those wondering, you can move to Linux Mint after Win 10 and never miss a beat. So much is now cloud-based, that unless you're a Photoshop Pro or big into MS proprietary programs, you'll not notice anything moving to Mint except a nice speed increase & lack of resource-sucking spyware.

    Just today, I set up Mint installed to desktop, for a woman who still works as a Probus secretary and has had it trying to work with 10. Mint picked up her Optus mobile broadband wifi (usb tethered), as well as her old Canon printer— without me doing anything. It's super-quick (& this is a HDD) compared to 10, by far.

    I'm only writing this to dispel the naysayers who are sh*tting on a perfectly good system because they only like $ XXXX.XX computers. This is a decent PC for most uses.

    I wouldn’t even go with these pcs as they don’t have anything built in like wifi and Bluetooth and processor is old and slow
    Won’t support windows 11.
    But buy a laptop or an iPad which would be much more easier to use with latest updates

    Hi, I have one of these and have tried several wifi dongles but they are all unstable ( it's not the signal because my laptop works fine). Can I put a wifi card in this?

    • superforever on 28/09/2021 - 10:12

      several wifi dongles but they are all unstable

      What kind of dongle you tried? wifi card shouldn't be any big difference.

    • OSienna on 28/09/2021 - 13:19

      I found that usb wifi dongles that sell for under $10 are rather hit and miss (especially the tiny thumbnail ones with no extended antennas). Perhaps something like this might be a better option - it's currently on sale for a decent price too.

      Otherwise, there are two PCIe slots available in the 9020 SFF if you want to go for a proper wifi card.

  • ippybear on 28/09/2021 - 07:58

    I have a couple of these machines, they may be older but they are very high quality builds. Runs Windows 10 or Linux just fine. They take low height graphics cards if you want to upgrade from the inbuilt main processor graphics. I have put a fan cooled gt1030 into one of mine, and a cad style card ( "cheap as" on eBay ) in the other. You just have to watch the height, thickness and power draw of the graphics card you choose. I also added a cheap external wi-fi dongle with antenna, which also works well.
    These are great little machines.

  • ninnypoop on 28/09/2021 - 07:59

    Do these have a small form factor compared to a normal size gaming PC? I'm looking for something like this to run as a server, so it will likely just sit under a side table.
    It's hard to tell the size

    • OSienna on 28/09/2021 - 10:27

      These are the SFF units and are pretty tiny at 8L. They also come in Ultra Small Form Factor size but aren’t very expandable

    • yaziyo on 28/09/2021 - 13:06

      Check out the Lenovo Thinkcentre Tiny range. You can get similar vintage PCs to what's in the OP for similar price, and they're very small. You can find them by other eBay sellers.

      And another one for kodi/htpc that I used $99 shucked 4tb seagate 3.5 hdds for mass storage - with a cheap usb wifi dongle, no issues.

      Don't bother trying to transplant this into a new case. Proprietary motherboard, PSU, fans and cabling make the exercise more expensive than it's worth.

      I'm actually quite fond of the design. It's well built and you'd be hard-pressed to find an alternative case with such a tiny footprint.

  • Geekomatic on 29/09/2021 - 04:29

    Great system. Run 10 until you can't, then install Linux Mint (or do it immediately).

    It's for everyday use, not gaming, so don't expect it.

    Everything else? Fantastic.

    Got one of these for a few years now. Upgraded to DDR 32GB running on Proxmox. Running pfsense for the internet firewall, open vpn for remote access. Added a 2TB NVME on a low profile PCIE M2 adapter for NAS hot storage. Recently upgraded to a 16TB IronWolf SATA for NAS cold storage. Handles 6x CCTV HD video stream like a boss. It runs 24x7 and best thing is less than 15 watts idle. Excellent ducted airflow design. Keeps the rest of parts relatively dust free. The form factor is the winner.

  • Synthesyst on 09/10/2021 - 19:51

    Are there any instructions for setting up the wifi dongle without ethernet first? Looks like it doesn't work straight out of the box which is a little frustrating. Hard to walk parents through driver installation over the phone

    • OSienna on 10/10/2021 - 09:53

      That’s why wifi dongles are a bit of a hit and miss.. if you’re lucky, you’ll get one that Windows has built in drivers for and it’ll be plug’n play - otherwise, it’s a manual driver installation.

      Can be a real pain when it comes to compatibility too. Frequent dropouts, poor signal strength, manual tweaking of wireless adapter settings are just some examples I’ve had to deal with

  • Joyi27 on 14/10/2021 - 18:21

    Can this be upgraded to Win 11

    • OSienna on 15/10/2021 - 11:17

      Technically, you should be able to get it to install from scratch (see here for details). An upgrade probably won't work.

      If you haven't bought one of these PCs yet, I would hold off until you find evidence that others have gotten Win 11 running successfully.

      • affinity on 15/10/2021 - 20:08

        It will never be "supported" for Windows 11, better as a Linux box, but still too expensive for an old machine now, even with a new SSD drive. There will be tons and tons of machines that won't run Windows 11 and be supported, when that happens you might not even be able to give them away; there will be a huge e-waste problem that will really kick in when Windows 10 goes EOL.

      • superforever on 18/10/2021 - 10:24

        It is possible to upgrade instead of clean install but the PC itself is unsupported hardware.
