        False. $1K is nice, but a used SFF PC plus basic GPU card can be had for under $300.
        $500 will get you an RTX3050, and 16GB 8th-gen, will play plenty.

        • Ulysses31 on 25/10/2024 - 19:52

          I've got free ex corp coming out my ear. But low cheap, low power, low profile GPUs seem to be a unicorn.

          • bargaino on 25/10/2024 - 21:04

            @Ulysses31: I got a GT1030 years ago, still going strong.

            RTX3050 seems to be the way now. Draws 70W from the PCIe, no special connector needed.
            Available in low-profile, double slot, fits Optiplex SFF I beleive.

              @bargaino: I read countless guides, and they all concluded with 1650. But that will always pull big bucks, hard to find. I'm wondering why none say 3050?

              New or used, they're all ~$300
              Does my brain need to change? Cos it seems crazy to spend that, comparing to the PC cost

              • bargaino on 26/10/2024 - 15:27

                @Ulysses31: I just did a quick google, am not up to date.
                But if you want a cheap gaming system, it is not at all unusual for the graphics card to cost more than the used office PC you put it in.

                • Ulysses31 on 27/10/2024 - 13:29

                  @bargaino: You've actually helped (confuse me more?), cos the 3050's are actually available, and currently on special at a few places $278.
                  One 1650 apparently available (and cheap), MSY Tasmania, pickup only.

                Spending that, on these old machines, is absolutely crazy - if you want to play games, then just buy a brand new gaming machine that already includes a modern graphics card - there's plenty of regular deals.

                Some years ago, you could buy a then-current card like a 1050 in low profile for $150 and they were a great deal in small machines like this.

                But it's now five years later - these cards are now multiple generations old, and they still cost $150 😂 The days of low profile cards and machines are long gone - they don't make sense any more.

          Er, an entire brand new gaming PC with a 4060 is $688 at the moment https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/872785

      You can put a (very small) GPU into some of the Lenovo ones like the P340. For a 1L sized desktop, it's pretty impressive and might even run one of those single slot 4060s (although I imagine power supply becomes an issue).

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/872785 - I'd wait for another techfast ITX deal like this instead though.

      Acer Veriton N4640G Mini.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLUzrH0SipU

      It has a 16x PCIe port. You will need to source a PSU for the card and might need to upgrade the power brick this comes with. If you eBay you will find the model with one of those bricks for much less.

      • CasualGoalie on 25/10/2024 - 14:05

        I had to cut the bracket to install a 2.5 HDD, as the slot is a bit thin, it is good for Sata SSD but not so good for HDD. Probably why there are conflicting information about it.

    Is the G2 Micro a better buy over the M700? CPU, extra 128gb storage,Wifi and USB-C for an extra $20. Primary use will be HA.

    Hi Op,

    Is there any chance you have a cheaper M720Q / M920Q option with a Intel Pentium Gold or i3 processor? Even a barebone unit with just Power Supply will be fine.

    Nice selection, OP! Quite tempting.

    For those into budget home-labbing I'd recommend the 93 Tiny. Much faster and cheaper than a Raspberry Pi, unless you need GPIO, a GPU or very low power.

    The M93p can easily be upgraded to around the speed of a i5-9500t by buying a $22 Xeon e3 1275L v3 off AliExpress.

    • desync on 25/10/2024 - 17:25
      +1

      at these prices you are better off going for a new ryzen 5000 series mini pc from aliexpress for around 300

      craps all over that weakling xeon - which will actually overheat and thermal throttle as the cooling on these systems are designed for 35W

      you must have typed the wrong xeon model as that thing is down 2 cores and 30% less power from the 9500T

      • RedHab on 27/10/2024 - 09:50

        Yep, I was sorry wrong, I checked mine. Xeon E3-1265L v3 not the ..75L.

        It uses 10W more (on paper) than the i5-4750T. Mines been going for over a year. Under Prime95 the cooling system and standard 65W PSU can handle the load.

        I actually replaced the Motherboard on an old HP Microserver N36L NAS with the m93 and a 8087-SAS mini-PCIe card.

        Different use case but I rate these. Just be careful with the MMC in terms of wear.

        I put a cheap 16GB DIMM for 20GB total and a SATA M.2 for some storage (note it can not be NVMe). Then removed the WiFi card and replaced with a m.2 PCIe NIC. Runs Proxmox and then pfsense in a VM and a few containers for stuff like pihole, gotify and a few others.

        Averages about 5-7W. About 10W with 4 cores maxxed out.

        • desync on 26/10/2024 - 13:59

          yeah i used one as a htpc media player and jellyfin server with a 14tb external drive, perfectly fine transcoding 4k

          also used as a router with usb ethernet dongle

          they are great little machines with modernish hardware, stable 24/7, consume next to nothing and completely silent

              budget for additional, even better if you already have these lying around somewhere
              - m.2 128gb SSD SATA drive ($15)
              - boost ram to 12gb with a stick of 8gb ddr4 ram sodimm ($20)

              if you wanted double the performance for a little more than double the price then the i5-8500T above is a great option, but it's worth noting it's:
              - actively cooled
              - triple the energy consumption
              - slightly older cpu, 8th gen vs 9.5 gen, not a big deal though, either is great for video work

              i5-8500T is a great chip, 6 cores, so if you're running proxmox or a desktop and want the extra processing it's a decent option

              spend a little more and i'd go the ryzen aliexpress mini pc route to double to power again for a little more dosh

    Hi All. I need to use a software that has the following requirements and I was wondering if the Acer Veriton N4640G Mini would meet my requirement and I can just add the video card separately? If not, please provide me suggestion on how I can make use of a Refurb PC deal? Sorry I am not very savvy when it comes to PCs. Cheers.

    OS: Windows 10 64bit, MacOS 10.12 and older
    CPU: Intel Core i5
    RAM: 8 Gb
    Video Card: dedicated Nvidia card, 2 Gb Ram

    • skyva on 29/10/2024 - 21:45

      if you want a dedicated video card then mini pc's are not the way to go for a beginner. The same company had some deals earlier that are better:
      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/872560

      Of these, this is cheap and ok imho.
      https://metrocom.com.au/shop/computers-tablets-networking/de…

      Bear in mind that these will only take a low profile video card.
      Also, as you need windows 10, you are likely to need windows 11 in 1 year so you want to get at least an i5-8400.

      • Crown26 on 29/10/2024 - 22:45

        Thank you so much. So basically I can buy the above HP PRODESK 600 G4 and add the video card separately? If so, is it very easy to do so by removing the cover? Is there specific graphics cards for this PC or any should fit? Thank you again 🙏
