There is space for a 2.5" HDD. Is 4TB or so not enough for your video hoarding?
It skipped my mind one of those would fit, I had an old SSD there until it failed last night. Have now upgraded to one of these:

If it has an E key m.2 slot for a Wi-fi card you might be able to get an E to M key adapter and install another NVMe in there.
Before doing that check that Dell doesn't whitelist cards for that slot though.
I currently have a HP ML10 with 16TB usable, and I've set up cleanup scripts to delete items that have been watched, otherwise I would have gone through that ceiling many times over.
I do the same but with a 2bay external case and two 16tb drives. Works well, but a little noisier than I'd like (noise comes from drives). Small SSD for OS and a 1tb 2.5" HDD for temporary torrent storage.

Can tell what's the average temp of the drives? Need 2 bay case and I'm not sure if this is ideal for running 24/7
I also use (currently a 7050 Micro) as a 24/7 Jellyfin server. It works really well.
I added a 2TB SSD and have a total of 32GB DDR4 (overkill I know)
I use RD when I want to go sailing and remove content that I have already watched that I deem not worthy of staying there.
I have a 7050 too with Proxmox and Plex in an LXC container.
iGPU pass through works perfectly.
i have a texhoo mini pc with large quiet fan nearly silent, running proxmox N100 its a dream
I’ve just changed my Jellyfin server from an old surface pro 4 to a 7060 but it’s an i5-8600. It’s working perfectly with an external drive. Why bother with internal? 8GB RAM is sufficient as well
What are the condition of the outer shell OP? Are they heavily scratched?
Can we get confirmation if this is 2 x 4GB or a single 8GB SO-DIMM?
just noting the 9600T is a hot and fairly loud chip in a tiny package, id go with the 8500t version
Non t version ok?
Confirming if USB-Wifi means a separate USB wifi adapter is required but not supplied?
No, onboard WiFi.
Excellent, thanks. Unsure why I’m getting downvoted.
Hi it doesn't come with onboard wifi but a usb wifi dongle will be supplied.
It should've said so in the description that it is a USB WiFi Dongle. Otherwise, people expect it to be onboard. I certainly would've.
If you really must have it, you can get m.2 cards ranging anywhere between under $10 to $30 on Aliexpress, depending on what you want (i.e. if you want WiFi 6E + BT5.2)
@KnifeEnthusiastBoi: I personally don't, just a suggestion. Its the finer details sometimes that help.
Yeah I was expecting my 7060 to have wifi which it didn’t. Just picked up a cheap usb dongle from Amazon but I have it connected to Ethernet anyways so I don’t really need it. But it would’ve been nice to know that there’s no wifi
Thanks, I was a bit disappointed when i missed out on an ebay sale but this is better.
The eBay sales were heaps better imo
I am thinking of jumping on the 9600T, what your thoughts ozb community? I need it for my personal admin use, emails, shopping and the usual low profile stuff.
Easily fine. I’m using it to run a few servers and home automation, this is fine for browsing and light work.
Any discounted 12th gen+ units available?
Most businesses lease/buy PCs for 3-5 years so you’ll need to wait a bit longer before 12th gen PCs show up en masse.
Would this arrive before Xmas?
can I put a rtx 3050 6gb LP with this?
also for 40 extra yall think its worth going 16gb ram and 256gb ssd
The GPU is bigger than the entire case, so no
lol ic thanks for letting me know
I'd probably save the $50 and go the 8500T, you're not missing out on anything, then get a bigger SSD. You can have 1 M.2. drive and one 2.5" SATA drive in this.
The front USB-C port is also USB 3.1 Gen2 which is 3.2 Gen1? Either way its 10Gbit so you could hookup an external enclosure to it or a DAS box.
Can these machines do jellyfin transcoding?
Yes, I've been running a 9500T based system for plex and it can handle 4k transcoding just fine. 8500T has the same quick sync chip so it should be the same.
thanks mate
Yep. Look for chips that have intel UHD 630. I think most of these processors do.
2 x DP port
:(
no HDMI, good for streaming, most TVs (if not all) have HDMI only
$11
4K DisplayPort to HDMI Cable Adapter 1M, JSAUX
There’s others cheaper. I got an adapter for $4 does the job
Is it worth upgrading 8gb ram if it's used for emails/word/temp photo storage?
Yes
Which would suggest for an unraid box, running plex, home assistant and blue iris (nvr)?
I got a 7070 for $140 last month. Upgraded the RAM, added an SSD, and put in a low profile RX 6400 GPU. Works great as a Steam gaming console.
Note that these are very particular when it comes to the RAM you get. The Crucial website has a selector tool to let you know which RAM to buy.
I'm guessing that would have been the sff not the micro ones in this deal.
Ah yeah, sorry. Will delete comment.
It seems that the SFF version is on sale as well? https://metrocom.com.au/shop/computers-tablets-networking/de…
What's the diff between used and refurb in terms of condition?
Would this be a good buy for a batocera machine or are the mini PC's the go?
Batocera works well on these mini PCs. You can emulate up to Wii U, with occasional frame dips in demanding titles.
Appreciate the response!
I would go for the non T version, it also has 16GB RAM instead of 8.

Can these Dell Optiplex mini PC's in T & non T version operate in harsh non air conditioned environments, ie 40 heat wave conditions?
I really want to get in on these Dell PCs but my main use case would be hobby web development projects that are essentially tools that help me and a few others friends/family, so they would need to be reachable via the internet. I'm not too fussed if it does go down. Would anyone know if these are okay to run all the time, and if such an idea is viable to run from home (securely?)

I use a 7060 Micro as a 24/7 Plex server, not a bad setup apart from needing an external Hard Drive due to it only taking an M2 + normal sized SSD.
