    Any of these viable to build your own NAS?

    • Leho on 06/10/2022 - 16:27
      +1

      depends what you need to run on it

      • catbarf on 06/10/2022 - 16:30

        File backups mostly but it would probably also include plex or similar in the future.

        • matthewperk on 06/10/2022 - 16:36
          +1

          it'll do all of that well. Though you will run into some limitations with transcoding in plex. But easy enough to plonk in an extra drive or two and have a little bit of redundancy with a relatively performant CPU.

          • Tollery on 06/10/2022 - 17:09

            @matthewperk: Have a look at Jellyfin but the CPU won't be much good for transcoding or converting.

        • Leho on 06/10/2022 - 16:50
          +1

          yeah should be alright, for plex you will probably need to get a low profile GPU (1050ti or similar - I would recommend) for transcoding.

          btw jellyfin is 10000000x better than plex. Try both of them out and see which you like better ;)

          • PainToad on 06/10/2022 - 16:54

            @Leho: Tried Jellyfin for a month. Went back to Plex.

            I wish them well but.

          • Shonky on 06/10/2022 - 16:57
            +7

            @Leho: Jellyfin has a lot of promise but no way it's significantly bettter than Plex. It's missing a lot of smaller features of Plex. Its metadata matching isn't nearly as good either.

            I've tried Jellyfin a few times (have an up to date docker install on my NAS) so just need to start it up and let it rescan. Every time I try, I go back to Plex pretty quickly.

            • Leho on 06/10/2022 - 16:58
              +3

              @Shonky: I think that jellyfin with plugins is way better but its all personal preference I guess 🤷‍♂️

                @Leho: What devices do you use? I liked jelly however device support was limited. No LG C1 app for example.

                • Leho on 06/10/2022 - 17:42
                  +1

                  @OzzyBrak: not sure if im allowed to say here, but I host jellyfin on an ultra (dot) cc seedbox, and use the android, web & chromecast apps. works perfectly + free & open source 😁😁

                  pretty sure there is an lg app but might be a bit difficult to setup 🤷‍♂️

                  • OzzyBrak on 06/10/2022 - 17:47
                    +1

                    @Leho: Yeah. LG app if you register as an lg developer or something.

                    My issue with browser to chromecast is my lg tv supports more formats without transcoding than the browser. I much prefer direct play of hdr content.

                      https://us.lgappstv.com/main/tvapp/detail?appId=1030579

                      says it can be installed on 2021 models and higher, pretty sure the c1 is from 2021 so try install that. doesn't need dev account I think. might fix your transcoding issues 🤷‍♂️

                      • OzzyBrak on 06/10/2022 - 18:01

                        @Leho: Looks like they finally released a client for webos in July 2022. Thanks for letting me know.

                • NobalaKoba on 06/10/2022 - 18:59

                  @OzzyBrak: The C1 got a JellyFin app months ago.
                  Edit: Just read further down the chain and saw you've already been informed.

    • Shonky on 06/10/2022 - 16:47

      Performance wise, sure. Space for disks not so great.

      You can fit one 3.5" or one 2.5" in the standard location and that will be it. Anything more than that will be "non standard" and a squeeze at the very least.

    • Zondor on 06/10/2022 - 17:03

      High power consumption, get an SFF one with a single 2.5" hard drive and upgrade it to a 4TB one. Get a USB external 4GB drive and put Veeam on it also to do your backups.

      • bargaino on 06/10/2022 - 19:16

        Even better for power draw, get the laptop. USB-3 external HDD is fine for your home server (warez/porn/movies/mp3). Bonus UPS (if the battery is not dead.)

        • Zondor on 07/10/2022 - 08:43

          The tiny little sff ones are basically a laptop anyway. They even use a laptop power brick.

          • bargaino on 07/10/2022 - 09:22

            @Zondor: They still use a different chips. The T-series uses less power than standard desktop chips, but more than U-series laptop chips.

    • whitepuma on 06/10/2022 - 17:30

      If you're planning on using it purely as a NAS, it easily has the performance for it. Where you will struggle is the drives, these cases don't fit many drives in them, and external drives can be clunky.

      But performance wise it will do the job and more.

      If you are planning to go beyond the realm of standard NAS use…such as plex/emby, dockers, other server applications….it's all dependant on what you plan to use it for.

      My first Emby server using unraid was a $50 second hand PC from marketplace (weaker than the ones in this post), and they did the job decently. However ofcourse as i become more and more of a power user and wanted to get more out of my system, i started to need a more powerful unit.

      Regardless, i recommend starting small and simple, then as you find other uses, grow from there.

  • AndrewMTG on 06/10/2022 - 16:31

    • jcon on 06/10/2022 - 16:37
      +2

      No way it will last 6 hrs. Even new, these would've lasted 4 hrs max.

      Assume you'll need to replace the battery and/or run it from an external battery pack. For the price, that's not a bad solution.

      • AndrewMTG on 06/10/2022 - 16:38

        Fair, do you think it'll come w the pen though, I see it used to be $249 or so and now it's $120 so must be a steal right haha

    • SlowCarSlow on 06/10/2022 - 16:39

      no way the battery will last 6 hours. Read the description on the page regarding condition.

          well I brought two, they took quite a while to ship for sure and when they did arrive, one had a pretty bad hinge sadly, it would go all the way down past 175° pretty quickly unless U be super careful with it then it won't. The other hinge is a lot better but still probably worse than new, they run alright, screen is super good and if I could I wish I didn't buy the other probably. they run pretty hot if U have stuff open but I wish it could handle like twitch steam at 1080p without freezing up and lagging constantly

    • matthewperk on 06/10/2022 - 16:42
      +3

      you can get low profile graphics cards like the GTX1650 LP - https://www.ebay.com.au/p/3039905983?iid=175141870176
      These would actually make these into a decent 1080p compact gaming computer (though I'd probably get 16gb of ram upgraded from the 8gb)

      • dyziplen on 06/10/2022 - 16:44

        Pretty sure it can't do these since the available slot is at the bottom. So single slot only.

    • AssociatedFuseTechAu @ FuseTech AU on 06/10/2022 - 16:42
      +1

      yep! a low profile will fit nicely, just take care with newer gen GPUs BIOS may be an issue

      • Terence Z on 06/10/2022 - 16:45

        Will the power supplier be a issue?

    • dyziplen on 06/10/2022 - 16:43

      Single slot, low profile. Aka 1030, although there are some 6400 variants around as well.

      • Jimbuscus on 06/10/2022 - 17:00

        RX6400 will fit a bit better than most 1650's, but need to look at PCIe 3 performance rather than regular reviews first.

        Without a brand new PCIe 4 board, the RX6400 loses up to 30% performance due to only having 4 lanes.

        • dyziplen on 06/10/2022 - 17:52
          +2

          6400 won't just fit a bit better than 1650, it might actually fit if you can find a single slot low profile version.

          There is no space for a dual slot card in this box.

          I don't know why OP or others around saying a low profile will do. IT WON'T. Look at the box, there is only the one x16 slot and its right at the bottom next to the PSU, there is no space for a dual slot card like the majority of 1050, 1650 and 6400 around.

          https://dl.dell.com/topicspdf/optiplex-3040m-desktop_owners-…

          Look on pg 23, look at where the x16 slot is, and the psu right next to it.

    • SueyJitSu on 06/10/2022 - 17:03
      +2

      See here.
      Power supply and space within the tower are factors.
      GT1030 Low Profile is probably the best you can put in it.

    • Froot Loops on 06/10/2022 - 17:30

      As others have stated a low profile goes well. I have one with a low-profile GPU and low profile WIFI/Bluetooth and it ran great. Just make sure this case has a front fan, as some models (mainly newer models) have removed the front fan and the pins of the board, which causes the GPU's fan to make noise.

      • dyziplen on 06/10/2022 - 17:53

        You need a LOW PROFILE AND SINGLE SLOT.

        There is no physical space for a dual slot card.

        • Froot Loops on 06/10/2022 - 18:37

          The one I had had 2 slots (as you can see on the back of the case). It had two PCIs slow, 1 being (long version I think its 16) and then 1 really small one (I think x8). Its the same as my current OptiPlex as I moved both cards across. There is also a plug on the board for Graphics

          Edit: From memory 1 was white and the other was blue (sorry I don't know hardware well)

          • dyziplen on 06/10/2022 - 19:18
            +1

            @Froot Loops: The X16 is at the bottom, its just a X1 at the top. Good luck fitting a video card in the x1

            Do you actually have a 3040, or just one looks similar to it? The 9020s etc had two full length slots, with the fast x16 at the bottom. So many took a penalty by using the slower full length slot. But this one literally WILL NOT FIT.

  • Javin on 06/10/2022 - 16:43

    as 6th Gen so no luck for Win11 for now

    • onlinepred on 06/10/2022 - 16:48

      Win10 is still supported for a couple more years, so even if you have to bin the computer after that (you won't) they work out to a bit more than a dollar per week, which is dirt-cheap by any measure.

      • Jimbuscus on 06/10/2022 - 17:01
        +3

        Windows 10 will be supported significantly longer than they want to admit, they had a billion computers update to it & Win11 is too restricted to reach that level in the next 5 yrs.

    Hey OP,
    You may wish to mention if this has a front fan or not. Dell didn't supply them with all of the SFF (mainly newer ones) and removed the pins for a fan, which causes them to make a lot more noise than the ones with fans.

        Okay so i have a look and yes the shipping estimate is not currently working with the new Auspost system. Will be updating soon however the shipping on checkout works Australia wide!

    Hey OP,

    Any batches with 7 or 8 series chips with QuickSync?

    Bought 2in1. My first refurbished product order and step towards sustainability. Hope it's not my last.

    Ignore the shipping estimate not working and try proceeding.

    Where do you guys ship to? I have tried all postcodes I know in Sydney and none of it can be shipped… Might as well list this as VIC only.
