Should you buy a Dell Optiplex?

in this video, i got my hands a Dell Optiplex and decided to test it out and see what it is capable of and should you be buying one? i tested if they were a good for office or educational use as well as testing if it was a good option for gaming and tinkering with, it is a very interesting little machine, especially because i had a small form factor machine and not a full tower which came with its own little quirks and issues, it uses the good ol intel intergrated gpu with an 8th gen intel i3 cpu, anyway if you enjoy the video, please like and subscribe :D

I bought an HP Z 440 Dinnasoar in Sydney last year for $230. Couple of weeks later I found a Dell 9020 sff in the trash outside our apartment block. Chucked an SSD and fired it up. So I have two functional Dinnasoars.

I've decked out an Optiplex 5050 with 16GB RAM, SSD boot drive, and Quadro P600, to run my BlueIris server and it handles 16 camera streams very well (4K, 2K, and 1080p combinations)

Thanks for this video. Just ordered my grandmother a 7070 OptiPlex. She’s a retired book publisher. It’s coming Wednesday and she’s excited.

Work (not my choice):
MacBook Pro, i7-8569U processor with integrated graphics and 16GB LPDDR3 2133 MHz RAM.

Home:
i7-8700 processor and B360M MB, 24 GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM, AMD RX 6600 8GB graphics card.

I actually pulled the i7-8700 from a refurbished Optiplex. Before that I was using my i7-3770 purchased back in 2013.

Is This good For Music Production? Will I Face Latency Issues?

[vcommandarv]

do i get this or HP Z420? seems like the z420 is better, can hold up to 4 sticks of ram and I think comes with a Xeon CPU, there are 2 versions of the motherboard and you want the one that supports V2 processors

I bought the new 7010 with i5 13500 for £410 and 3070 with i5 9500 for £150. Am I a sucker? :)

[raginaldmars]

I bought a used one for 50 Euro
added 8 GB of RAM for 15 Euro
1 Tb NVME for 70 Euro
1 Heat sink for 16 Euro
attached an older 8 TB HDD as storeage and Library

= 160 Euro
use it day and night
consumes less than 30 Watt = 50 cents per day...

If you are not gaming, get a Mini-PC. Below are some good options with 16GB of RAM or higher:

- Intel NUC 13 Pro.
- Geekom IT13 with an i7 CPU.
- BeeLink SER7.
- HP EliteDesk 800 G9.

Optiplex and vostro are garbage.. they used to be good but anything made after 2018 is poorly made. We would get about 2-3 units out of 20 being delivered DOA.. motherboard issues every time.. junk. Hp has gotten just as bad. Lenovo M series are great work horse machines. Always loved the toughness of a lenovo m90.

Enough with PC-porn YT-vidz! :-) really...GREAT VIDEO!! subb/liked...My questions please...its now 12/23, and considering one with an i5-i7cpu, would you have a different opinion? Also...what's the most-amount of dd4 RAM that can be integrally-installed on the O7040 (or similar), please? Thanks a terabyte!
I'm an old CAD-guy (73, first using CAD in '83 :-), who now uses ActCAD*, and that super-fine little CAD software's pretty-light on PC-resources. 2D-CAD Planwork is like that :-) I'm looking to buy this little PC & use your upgrade for it doing my CAD-work. No weird lighted fans needed, for that! hahahaaa. * friend, if you need an affordable CAD, check it it. Your welcome.
