      Some offices retire their PCs when the warranty expires or when their extended support contract ends.

      In addition, some organisations' office PCs older than Intel 8th gen are being decomissioned because Windows 11 won't officially be supported on them.

  • cowiie on 12/05/2023 - 13:26

    Anyone know if any of these will be okay as a server for the office? Will be networked connected with at least 6 computers to access data (no movies or large files, just multiple requests at any single moment)…

    Our current server is quite old and its replacement broke after 2 years so yeah.

    • cplagz on 12/05/2023 - 14:43
      +2

      Will be perfectly fine, the biggest issue you will have is storing the data itself…. I use one as my home server and added a nvme to 6x SATA card with external power supply and have 5x 8TB drives running in unraid

      • Canopener9587 on 12/05/2023 - 18:21

        Hi @cplagz I'm interested as I'd love to do something similar. Could you please share the links to the parts that you bought? (nvme to 6xATA, power supply, HDD cases, etc)

        • cplagz on 12/05/2023 - 21:22
          +2

          I just grabbed the SATA card off Amazon, the PSU is an old Foxtel one I had lying around with a buck converter wired in for 5vDC rail and the HDD enclosure is a cage from an old case lying around 😁just make sure the PSU has enough power for the drives you intend to use, it's written on them how much each drive requires and I just went with that as 60% load should I add more in the future (looking at clustering another Micro)

      • cowiie on 13/05/2023 - 15:49

        thanks for the insight.

    • hughc on 12/05/2023 - 15:29
      +1

      If you can get away with a few TB of storage for you will be fine, without resorting a mod with external SATA storage snaking out of the case.

      You just need to read the specs of the unit you're buying. Some have dual NVMe slots, some a single. All seem to have a 2.5" bay. If you buy a model with an NVMe boot drive, you can get a ~2TB SATA SSD for your shared files. Add an external USB3 drive for scheduled backup (plus an offsite of some sort) and you will probably have enough data safety for a small workgroup (RAID would be good, but pairing 2 of the same drive in these enclosures is problematic).

      • cowiie on 13/05/2023 - 15:50

        I think i just need 1TB at the most, haven't actually filled the 500GB old ass hard drive yet.

      • gbh on 15/05/2023 - 02:55

        Any idea how to identify dual NVMe slot machines?
        I'm seeing different specs for the same machine (sata/NVMe) but can't find a way to differentiate.

  • Fastjam on 12/05/2023 - 13:33

    Hi, plex server machine only, what would be the best one for that?don't need bt or wifi will be hard wired, thanks

    • gday11 on 12/05/2023 - 13:42
      +1

      This one is perfect. If you have Plex pass you can get at least 8 x 1080p transcodes solely on the iGPU. All you need to add is the storage for media

      • Fastjam on 12/05/2023 - 13:43

        Thank you, will order one the. I don't have Plex pass, is it worthwhile to get?I just have basic package

        • gday11 on 12/05/2023 - 14:05

          If any of your users are transcoding media it's definitely worth it, otherwise transcoding on CPU will bog down pretty quickly. Getting one of the lifetime Plex passes is the best bet when they're below $100. If you're direct playing everything, you don't really need it

        • Grish on 12/05/2023 - 15:02
          +2

          Jellyfin is 100% free and supports HW transcoding and a variety of mobile apps, I switched from Plex and no going back.

          • gday11 on 12/05/2023 - 18:01

            @Grish: Haven't tried that for a few years, last time I did there weren't many clients available, especially for LG TV's or Apple TV. Will give it a crack again this weekend, have seen a few recommendations recently

          • SteveM on 13/05/2023 - 17:00

            @Grish: Good points, but also, Jellyfin is NOT included on 99% of smart TVs like Plex. I can access my Plex library from the TVs at work without any other devices.
            Jellyfin is a good media server, but Jellyfin is not a Plex replacement at this stage.

            • PainToad on 13/05/2023 - 19:27
              +1

              @SteveM: Completely agree. I retried Jellyfin again this week after not using it for a few months. Swiftfin on AppleTV has gotten better. But still not something I'd want to use daily. Back to Plex.

    These are actually cool to have alongside your main machine, especially with a modern keyboard that can switch between devices on the fly. Its often better than using Alt+Tab when running CPU-intensive programs or games, you can either run it into a second screen dedicated or have PIP, or use the other input on your second screen.

    • Jimbuscus on 12/05/2023 - 14:10

    Bought this for $310 couple of weeks ago: HP EliteDesk 800 G5 DM 65w Micro i5 9600 3.10Ghz 16GB RAM 256GB SSD Wifi Win 11 (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/195582334953)

    Anyone know if that was a better deal than Dell OptiPlex 7060 deal above?

    • [Deactivated] on 12/05/2023 - 14:02

      The HP is two generations newer and has Wifi which the 7060 doesn’t. Could probably add a USB adaptor for not much but won’t be as good as built in wifi. Also has 16gb ram instead of 8gb, which can be upgraded but the price would be getting up there. $209 for 16gb/256gb Dell configuration, you still need to add about $20 for wifi, so $80 more for 9th gen HP with built in wifi is a better deal I’d say.

      • Oofy Doofy on 12/05/2023 - 14:10

        Why isn't a usb dongle any better? You can easily have a wifi 6E dongle, with or without antennas, merely limited by it's use of CPU cycles (miniscule) and the throughput of the particular usb slot.

        • [Deactivated] on 12/05/2023 - 19:25

        • ColonialBoy on 13/05/2023 - 11:15

          I used wifi dongles for years until I bought a motherboard with built in Intel wifi.

          The intel wifi just works. The realtek wifi chips work most of the time. I still use Edup dongles for some older single board computers.

      • Westpac on 12/05/2023 - 15:08

        I think it has 16GB (referring to Dell Optiplex 7060 Micro i5 8500 16GB RAM 512GB SSD Win 11 PC $333.52 Delivered)'. However, comparing the HP in the same method you have I think it is a better deal - other than 256 v 512GB

    • smerm07 on 12/05/2023 - 14:19

      was this a 9600 or 9600T cpu?

      • Westpac on 12/05/2023 - 15:06

        Says Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9600 CPU @ 3.10GHz 3.10 GHz in the system information section of the PC. is i5-9600T better?

        • Alzori on 12/05/2023 - 17:36

          9600T is the low-power variant for ultra-small form factor PCs like this. Less powerful but consumes less electricity and produces less heat. Apparently (according to Metro's comment below) you can get USFF pcs like this with full fat 65W CPUs, and I guess you have the more powerful variant too.

        +1

        You are more likely to be given dual channel if you buy 16GB, single channel with 8GB.

        It makes sense for the seller to have 8GB modules and use one or two, rather than having 4GB SODIMM on hand.

        • Oofy Doofy on 12/05/2023 - 20:41
          -1

          Why though? You'll use more electricity with 2 sticks…. unless you need it, don't buy it.

          • Jimbuscus on 12/05/2023 - 20:44

            @Oofy Doofy: Dual channel is a performance improvement for the CPU.

            Single-channel RAM sticks use one 64-bit channel, while dual-channel sticks use two 64-bit channels, totaling 128 bits.

            • Oofy Doofy on 12/05/2023 - 21:41

              @Jimbuscus: Elementary of course.

              If you don't NEED extra "performance", use a single stick and save $ plus watts at the wall.

          • Nom on 13/05/2023 - 00:11

            @Oofy Doofy:

            You'll use more electricity with 2 sticks….

            … and the increase will be so miniscule that you won't even be able to detect any effect on your power bill.
            An extra RAM stick doesn't really affect power consumption. But it does speed up the computer for certain tasks that benefit from dual channel memory…

            • Oofy Doofy on 13/05/2023 - 01:52

              @Nom: If you don't need the extra processing power, don't get it. That's all I'm saying. You'll save money in both instances.

      • Nom on 13/05/2023 - 00:15

        Yes, you can either add a second network adaptor using USB3 or you can just use a separate VLAN for the WAN/LAN traffic and send everything down the single network adaptor. You'll need a VLAN-capable switch to do this.

It's fine for everything except apple tv via chrome, I suspect it's because it's 4k to a4k TV, but apple is very choppy.
