      I have read 7060 is higher model than 5060 :)

      • RSmith on 28/07/2023 - 13:39

        On the untech website, the 5060 can be configured to have 32 GB ram, but the 7060 is only listed with 16 GB ram…

      • Associateduntech @ UN Tech on 28/07/2023 - 14:39

        3060 would be different but 5060 and 7060 don't have much difference except for an extra serial and PS/2 port

        Looking to build up a Blue Iris machine. Both would probably work fine and are very similar, but I've read its easier to fit 2x 3.5" hard drives in the HP then the Dell, by removing the DVD drive. Both officially only fit 1x 3.5" hard drive.

        • chickendog on 28/07/2023 - 16:15

          Keep in mind there's prodesk and elitedesk verisons of the HP machines. The EliteDesk 800 can take 2x 3.5" drives and the prodesk 800 take 1x3.5" drive according to specs

            @60beetle60: Also prodesk has 2 X dimms and one nvme n.2 slot, and elitedesk 4 X dimms with two nvme m.2 slots.

            I have both, the elitedesk doing esxi NAS (RDM passthrough) plus Plex (630 HD passthrough for HW transcoding) and other serving duties, whilst the prodesk is a desktop PC for light gaming.

    This is a GREAT package IMO.

    With these SFF machines, the devil is in the detail. This one is the 7060 and it is the top model compared to the 5060 and 3060. E.G. the 3060 has a lesser chipset and only 2 RAM slots. 7060 vs 5060 is more subtle, I believe the 7060 has more ports like serial and PS/2. But it's the 3060 that I would avoid IMO, it has lesser PCIe slots as well.

    It has one16x PCIe slot and another one that is 4x but open ended, so you can also install a longer card here although it will run with only 4x lanes. 8th gen CPU means you get 6 Cores with an i5 and Windows 11 compatibility.

      Off topic. Love your YouTube channel. Takes me back to my school days.

  • Public21 on 28/07/2023 - 14:03

    Can you add a 3.5" HDD to these cases? I get the impression the answer is no.

    I was tossing up getting Blue Iris and while the SSD is good, I would need more storage so the SSD plus a spinning HDD would be better.

    • bargaino on 28/07/2023 - 14:15

      Sure. the SFF models fit one 3.5", or 2x2.5", as well as an m2 slot.

      • Public21 on 28/07/2023 - 14:23

        So it would come with a 2.5" SSD, meaning you would need to swap that out for an M.2. Luckily I have a spare of that.

        Now I need to research whether the i5 8500 will be good enough for Blue Iris - especially if I put it in ProxMox.

        • Yekul on 28/07/2023 - 14:46
          +1

          It's easily good enough for Blueiris, depending on camera count. Finding it harder and harder to recommend Blueiris nowdays though with their subscription based pricing when there's options like Frigate available now.

          • Public21 on 29/07/2023 - 15:09

            @Yekul: Frigate looks good, but they advise not to use it in Proxmox. I was planning to use this box to run the NVR along with Home Assistant in Proxmox, so that might be a no go.

            The recent issues with Blue Iris losing its server has not made me confident about the BI path.

    • ellos on 28/07/2023 - 14:26

      I dont know for sure that all the Dell SFF cases can fit a 3.5" HDD, but all the ones I've opened can.

      • Homr on 29/07/2023 - 08:31

        Around March this year, alot of miners were selling these for just under $400 which was ok price. The popularity caught up really fast and now 2nd hand ones are $550

        It's the best card available for a SFF build, but you're paying $550 for a 2nd hand card that gives 3060 performance

  • Whomastadon on 28/07/2023 - 14:50

    From what I can tell this isn't a 8500T model CPU so it won't be as energy efficient as if it was ( which is one of the main reasons to buy these if that is something you look for )

    • onlinepred on 28/07/2023 - 15:00

      Aren't the T models the lower voltage, lower performance models?

      • nfr on 28/07/2023 - 15:14
        -1

        Yes. I have a 7060 Micro with T CPU, it's more than adquate for general office tasks. This 7060 SFF has a bigger case and more powerful CPU.

    • PhilsComputerLab on 28/07/2023 - 15:41
      +2

      I don't think they are more energy efficient. AFAIK they have a lower power profile, meaning they will clock less high under full load. But when sitting idle or doing simple tasks, I don't think there will be much of a difference.

      Energy efficient is more a it consumes less power but it also gets less work done. You can go into BIOS and disable turbo boost if you want something that is consistently slower / energy efficient.

  • UncleRico on 28/07/2023 - 14:51

        Many thanks. Sorry for the follow-up, but regarding your earlier comment about including a 3.5" caddy on request, can you confirm whether the standard units come with an Optical drive or not? My limited research indicated the 7060 could have either an Optical drive or a 3.5"…

      SFF can only take low profile (LP) card. these are usually kind of expensive and not that powerful.

        • Budju on 28/07/2023 - 15:09

          The full size elitedesk etc. will take a full size GPU, but you're probably better off on facebook marketplace and just buying someone's old gaming rig with a better PSU etc.

        • onlinepred on 28/07/2023 - 15:19

          Just buy a gaming pc on the cheap. Most of these will require new psu too, I just don’t think it’s worth it at all. I'd rather a cpu that is not at it's limits the whole time, and have a lower temp which will save electricity over time.

          Perfect for plex. Many forums online highlighting the i5 8500-based SFF Optiplex 7060 as being optimum mix of form factor, sclability, power usage and processing grunt for serving plex or any basic NAS functions.

          Finally somewhere to stick my 18tb Ironwolf pro from www.ozbargain.com.au/node/769555

    • PhilsComputerLab on 28/07/2023 - 15:45

      Yes, the IPC / single core performance is improved over let's say an older 4th generation i5. Make sure you have M.2 NVME and dual channel memory for best performance.

      Be realistic with expectations, the latest generations of CPUs have made big improvements with being "snappy". Although there are some news appearing that the 12th generation CPUs have gone backwards in this aspect.

      But in terms of value it seems that the 8th generation CPUs are the sweetspot with an i5-8500. Anything newer and you will pay a large premium for not much gain. But go with something older and you will get 2 less cores and other steps backwards.

    Just a thought for anyone - like me - who grabbed one of these for use as a NAS, plex server or to house a new 3.5" Ironwold drive. The Crucial P3 is a fast, cheap PCIe 3.0 NVMe M.2 drive, and can currently be had for under $58 from Amazon AU via UK if you grab two of the 1tb models one plus something else to avail the 12% discount at www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B0B25LZGGW.

    It's obviously not as fast as latest gen PCIe 4 drives, but since the chipset on the 7060 is only PCIe 3.0, the 3,500/3,000mb per sec speeds of the 1Tb P3 makes it a perfect match. And since the existing used SSD is probably the most likely fail point of these PCs, you'll get a brand-new, bigger, snappy boot drive and free up space for whatever combination of internal 2.5" SSD, 3.5" HDD or optical drives you want.

    • UncleRico on 28/07/2023 - 18:26

    • Jimbuscus on 28/07/2023 - 18:30
      +1

      This has the space for a GPU that is specifically advertised as a Low Profile, which is smaller than a normal Graphics Card.

      A GTX 1650 Low Profile is appropriate, but at a total price of $235 + $200, I don't think its going to be cost effective for the level or performance.

      Edit: This isn't much more expensive, but a great deal more powerful GPU.

      • cristobaljamesy on 28/07/2023 - 20:05

        Thank you for the detailed information

    • Sinnerator on 29/07/2023 - 09:20

      Also you will be limited by the psu normally in the 200w to 300w range with no 8pin for gpu.
      And, often in these SFF machines they have proprietary mobos and power connectors (not always you could get lucky), to stop people from adding larger psus with 8 pins for gpus.

      So as stated you will be stuck with low profile 1650.

      There are better options if you want cheap gaming, see techfast or bpctech deals in computer section.

    • Lionmaru-G on 29/07/2023 - 09:48

      Plenty of room inside, just buy your own. A few TB hdd is a nice addition to the ssd.
      They don't build it for you unless they have used stuff lying around, or the previous owner removed the original drives.

      Is the supplied ssd a sata or m2 nvme?

  • paddywide on 29/07/2023 - 10:48

    I am a bit confused. If I just use pc for home usage, not for game. Should I buy a brand new mini PC. Refurbed PC is cheaper but it has slower cpu. It doesn't look like a bargain, but it has lower spec and the value match that spec. Yes, refurbed pc has more slot and you can plug in more device. For home usage, I don't think this is necessary.

  • kulprit on 29/07/2023 - 14:51
