Let me guess, you need more?

The power went out for a few hours. Instead of having to wreak my vision worse than it already is by using my phone I just kept on computing because my laptop has a super compact built in UPS. I will never "upgrade" to a desktop computer no matter how small they make them.

Are these things still dirt cheap? I was thinking of picking one up for emulation purposes.

replaced my desktop with 705 g4 on 2400G back in 2023 as I don't do gayming anymore. never looked back. works great with debian stable. it even came with 3 DP ports

>>105783328
yes, something like this should be more than enough

No, I'm fine. I'd never buy from Horrible Products

Yes I need more, at least an optiplex

has anyone tried that mini RX 560 you can add to some of these?

>>105783202 (OP)
PCIe x8 slot. Like thinkcenter minis do and like some modern mini PCs do

>>105783398
not me, but you will need a bigger powerbrick for discrete gpu

When buying these check the listings carefully as there's 2 different types; 35W and 65W. The 65W ones can take most standard CPUs but the 35W ones need the energy efficient T type of CPUs. Mine came with an i5 6500 but I replaced it with an i3 7300 because I thought 4Ghz with 2cores/4threads might be better than 3.2Ghz 4c/4t. I know the i5 has 3.6Ghz turbo but I don't think it can do that for all 4 cores at once while the i3 is 4Ghz on both all the time.

i prefer the dell ones

Is the 3400GE one better than 2400G pro? The former runs on 35W only right?

UPS can run several time what laptop can provide.

When my last PC died I got one of these refurbished ones for less than $300 and it's been great. I don't see a real reason for more unless you do heavy gaming or compile software constantly.
