    Almost worth it for the Windows product key alone.

          That doesn't work. I've tried it. You can't use an OEM BIOS key for another PC.

          • Chandler on 27/01/2023 - 14:31

            @Viospeed: Well, you can try. You probably won't be able to pull the wool over the eyes of the Microsoft rep you'll need to convince to activate it but, and you'll be committing fraud in the process…

          • tonydarcy on 28/01/2023 - 12:36

            @Viospeed: They should work on another PC if it is a Windows 7 product key. I've used heaps of Windows 7 OEM product keys to activate Windows 10 on other computers and never had any issues. Although back when Windows 7 was still widely used, I did sometimes (but not always) have issues using a Windows 7 OEM product key to activate Windows 7 on another PC.

      • rio46 on 28/01/2023 - 08:25

        I think if you deactivate windows on your pc you will be able to use the key on a different pc.

          Exactly. Generating a legitimate Windows license for free has been easy for years. It boggles my mind why people would pay for a dodgy key and then brag about it? All you’re doing is funding a scammer. Might as well pirate.

        What makes you say that? The game isn't that demanding, this system should at least be able to handle it more than fine on low/med settings. Benchmark vids on YT for similar configs (7th gen i3 / i5 / i7 with UHD 620 or 630) suggest the same.

        • Kommodore on 27/01/2023 - 17:40

          Will be laggy and not fun.

          • tonydarcy on 28/01/2023 - 13:45

            @Kommodore: Depends. If you are used to playing games on a $2k gaming PC, then of course it will be a huge step down! But if you don't mind playing it on low settings and don't mind a lowish frame rate, then it should be fine. I haven't played Sims 4 before, but I've played plenty of games on far worse hardware a few years ago and I didn't mind at all.

  • macmanluke on 27/01/2023 - 10:10

    • Lief on 27/01/2023 - 10:34

      If you need the 6 cores and hdmi out it would save some trouble but otherwise no, itd be cheaper to just upgrade the $149 one

    • Godgodgod on 27/01/2023 - 10:38
      +6

      8th gen means free and authorised upgrade to windows 11 and beer security in the long run with TPM 2.0 support.

      8th gen i5 is also a 6 core processor instead of 4 and it is a fundamental leap.

      Gt 730 is ddr5 version normally, capable to run pre-2014 games at 60 fps 720p. I have played and completed farcry 3 on high settings at 720p on one of those cards. If you end up getting a DDR 3 version of the same card it would be far worse.

      General note: these gt730s are very flakey, and breakdown at no notice. I had one replace from the seller a couple of months ago. Some strange issue with video signals could be due to do to HDMI converters provided but it's a constant issue and normal DP cable doesn't work at all. Tries multiple monitors and cables to eliminate the possibilities.

        You seem very knowledgable. I have a stupid question because I have nfi about PC gaming. How well would this run F1 Manager? If the video card dies, can I replace it with something relatively cheap for better performance? I only want to play F! manager.

          Yes.
          Currently the best GPU that would fit this form factor is an RX 6400, at around $250.

          • rosebank on 27/01/2023 - 14:34

            @srb337: Thanks, I think I'd rather get a Steamdeck or an Xbox Series S

        • Godgodgod on 27/01/2023 - 14:25
          +1

          F1 manager 2022 would struggle bad time with this GPU. Or downright not work due to drivers.

          NVIDIA stopped the support for 7 series a while ago.

          Like below upgrade to 1650 super low profile or rx6400 but rx6400 is not a good choice due to the PC architecture on this one being too old

          • rosebank on 27/01/2023 - 14:35

      i5s in this range are 10500 and 10500t.

      Your guess is as good as mine, but based on ebay sale prices from us ebay they are selling anywhere between 500-750+ aud.

      • JimB on 27/01/2023 - 10:37

        $500 to $750? hmmm probably more than I want to spend.

        • dazza826 on 27/01/2023 - 10:56
          +3

          Hard to gauge the exact price.

          This is only an educated guess based off ebay based off completed and sold listings.

          There have only been 2 sales on ebay of the i5 10th series lenovo.

          The most recent was this one here for $375 usd. Was a refurb as well

          https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/134322341223?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mk…

          The cheapest model i5 10th series sff pc on ebay at the moment from any au vendor is this dell one here at $540 aud, but they go up in price from there.

          https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285042071092?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mk…

          Cheapest sold was this one here for $400 aud from a private seller.

          https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/325473825276?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mk…

          This i5 series in a sff pc has sold recently from anywhere from 400 to 725.

          One was 799 with a 20% off coupon making it $623.

          If your lucky will be closer to the $500 price point. If its lower or much lower than that then its a very good deal.

          If I had to guess - $599.

      Be fine. The answer to your other question says it has 2x3.5, 1x2.5 drive bays and a m.2. You should be able to fit a reasonable amount of internal storage.

      If transcoding 8th gen better. If you are direct streaming then it's more than ample.

      • snoopydoop on 27/01/2023 - 12:45

        For Plex, I am running the first gen i7-920 from 2008 (Dell XPS 435T, added SSD and applied new thermal paste).
        I don't transcode any 4k videos, but it (just) gets over the line simultaneously transcoding 3-5 1080p streams down to 4mbps 720p.

        Depends what you're trying to do, but a dedicated Plex machine really doesn't require that much power for basic use. Maybe not optimal, but can work fine. I'll upgrade in the future, but it's worked great for the past 4 years. I'd say the CPU in this rig would be miles better than what I'm running.

        Biggest thing is the drive space here, but for a basic setup this can also be supplemented by external USB drives, running something like drive bender to pool them.

      • skittlebrau on 27/01/2023 - 13:03

        8th gen iGPU is a rebadged version of 7th gen with 100MHz higher clock speed - there's no difference for video transcoding between the two. Sure one is labelled as 'HD Graphics 630' and one 'UHD Graphics 630' - but they're really the same in reality.

        The only real difference that may come up is if you need those two extra cores (i5-7500 4-core vs i5-8500 6-core) for transcoding audio streams while doing tonemapping, but that'll only become a concern if you're maxing out the 1080p streams of which you can reach 10+ on this iGPU. Even then, it would probably still be fine with 4 cores.

        The only reason I went with i5-8500 for my hypervisor box is because I use those extra cores for virtual machine resources (nothing too crazy), otherwise I would've gone for a i5-7500 box for cheaper.

      • tonyamazing on 27/01/2023 - 13:18

        I have a PC with 7400T and as I have mentioned in other threads, it works really well.

    • coxymla on 27/01/2023 - 11:34

      The $309 would be better for Minecraft, but if you can be bothered then getting a second-hand LP card like a 1030 or a 1050 separately and adding it to the $149 should work out better for around the same price.

    • freefall101 on 27/01/2023 - 11:57
      +1

      Not really, it's a 35W PCIe slot (as opposed to the usual 75W) which limits you to a 1030.

      IMO I'd just buy a used Xbox One and get a gamepass subscription given that a low profile 1650 costs $300 anyway (and isn't particularly great).

  • Creamsoda on 27/01/2023 - 11:39

    Can this be used as a media centre? 4k HDR @60fps?

    • skittlebrau on 27/01/2023 - 13:08

      Yes, however I think you can only get 4K 60Hz HDR (10bit) output through iGPU DisplayPort, but I think this box only has DP output anyway. If you need to hook up to a TV, then you can simply use a passive DisplayPort to HDMI adaptor which will pass video and audio like regular HDMI.

    • skittlebrau on 27/01/2023 - 13:06

      SFF and USFF will idle around the same, within a few watts of each other. The main things that will change that is if you're using 3.5" HDDs and PCI-e expansion cards in the SFF box.

    Bought the ELITEDESK g3 7500t as an emulator box (launchbox, fightcade). Works great. The only feedback is the 3x DisplayPort instead of HDMI was annoying.

    Damn good price!!! I'm trying to sell the same EliteDesk 800 G3 but with 16GB RAM. Prices falling fast! :(

    These are great units, very quiet, reasonably powerful, supports ESXi with Intel NIC onboard (the lower spec ProDesk has Realtek), and it has two nvme slots, room for two 3.5" HDDs or a few 2.5" drives. 4 SATA headers in all.

    I run ESXi on mine newer i5-8500 EliteDesk and have it setup as a home server/home lab. It just sits in the corner quietly serving up content, acting as a file server and transcoding etc. Love it!

    • Sfh1975 on 27/01/2023 - 15:31

      I am trying to consolidate my storage and add more storage in the process as I am running out. Currently an old Buffalo NAS with two slots (4 TB each), and three hdds (one 3.5-4TB, two 2.5-1TB each) plugged into an Asus router. Thinking of getting something that can transcode decently (my RPi4 seems to struggle with jellyfin) and act as a server for jellyfin, sonarr, radarr and the like.
      A reasonably low power pc (no solar here) hosting at least 4 but ideally more 3.5 HDDs, running on whatever linux is what I am looking at.
      Any suggestions?
      Thanks.

      • Felixrising on 27/01/2023 - 20:58

        Yeah, I just installed a single 20TB drive (could add two if I cared about the media), have my Plex media server running in its own vm with the iGPU passthrough for hw transcoding (handles multiple 4k streams), I also have open media vault (OMV) with the sata HDD passed through so there is dedicated NAS os doing file sharing, dedicated Plex, and dedicated VM for radarr, sonarr, lidarr and other docker images. I also have windows VM on it which is where the license comes in handy.

        Overall, I recommend the EliteDesk, it works well and is powerful enough for most normal home needs.

        • Sfh1975 on 27/01/2023 - 21:11

          Thanks but isnt it limited to two 3.5HDDs? I already have 3 to begin with :( Plus I want to future proof it for a few years too.
          BTW any benefit for running these under VMs? Just curious.

          • Felixrising on 27/01/2023 - 21:20

            @Sfh1975: You can fit three 3.5" drives in there, but one will be MacGyvered in. There are two nvme slots too… So I have 1 nvme for ESXi and the VMs, and one large HDD. I recommend change our your drives after they've put in a good few years anyway. You can flog them second hand. You'll fit all your data on 1 large hdd

      Depends on what you plan to do. This if you plan on expanding it with a graphics card or add additional drives.

    • Dogsrule on 28/01/2023 - 08:50

      I think it is. The one in your link gets a free upgrade to Windows 11 as it has an 8th Gen Intel processor, whereas the one in this deal doesn’t, the 7th Gen is not supported by Win 11. Win 11 should be supported till about 2031, but Win 10 is only supported till 2025. Pay $150 for 2 years of support or $250 for 9 - the choice seems clear to me.

    Can you drop in a i5-8500 into this or is the mobo not compatible with later generations?

      +1

      No intel only ever supports 2 gens per "socket" and it goes 6th/7th gen then 8th/9th gen.
      Intel did get lazy with 1151 though and didn't even change the physical socket, but they made sure to break compatibility anyway because ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    One generation away from win 11.

    I'd like to get this to sit on top of our strata complex CCTV system box with separate screen

    to add our garage door fob access system to be visible through the same screen (currently accessed via USB cable plugged in a occasional laptop brought about once a month to download the fob accesses for the last month and update any users.

    but guess that would need to add a keyboard the CCTV system doesn't currently use

    and I don't know how I'd connect the screen to display either or both CCTV box and fob access system software

    maybe need another screen and a keyboard ?

    Great value, highly recommended to anyone after a desktop for the usual tasks of browsing, office etc.

    @MetroCom any chance of a killer deal on an 8th gen 16gb laptop? 7490 or similiar?

    But what are you people going to do when these do not run Windows 11 officially , after w10 support ends in Oct '25? are you going to hack it and run w11 without updates or just upgrade to 8 generation CPUs, new 8th gen towers?
