OUTSTANDING DEAL for an AMAZING computer
I couldn’t believe what we got for so low. I am not the tech wizard, but I have one in my circle who gave this the very high marks. I valued that opinion significantly and it has proven to be true. Fast, reliable system which I have not had a bit of trouble with. Great purchase. (So great that we got another one.)

Excellent value for the price!
I was skeptical to buy this because of the low price, but the other good reviews pushed me over the edge. I’m really glad I bought this PC! It runs perfectly for what I need. It’s absolutely silent, and I have no issues with it at all. It also came with a basic mouse and keyboard, so that was a nice addition. I would absolutely recommend buying from this seller!

Very decent for the money
I am using this for a basic email and web surfer machine. It is very fast….. looks and runs like a brand new machine. Came with a new keyboard and mouse (not refurb) but the most basic cheap KB and mouse. The machine specs out exactly as advertised. Even came with CD/DVD player/ burner. The case is small form factor, so do not get it with the expectation of getting and doing a lot of upgrades. There is a PCI Express. There were NO unpleasant or unexpected surprises. Runs super quiet…. really not bad at all. Here is the deal as to why its so cheap for the most part. The copy of windows is an OEM version issued and licensed exclusively to Dell. You do not get a copy of Windows on disc with this machine, you get a hard drive with an image file on it ( the main drive has a partition on it) which is where the copy is located. You can do full factory restore from that partition and set the machine up like it was the day you got it and it will activate and be a legitimate copy/machine…. BUT it only works on the machine it shipped out with (or one just like it) Microsoft has almost reached the end of life with Win 10…. set for about Oct 2025. I ran the test to see if the machine would take win 11 upgrade and it says NO…however a Google search results many people saying they have run it just fine. The primary reason it fails is the processor. It is not in the recommended list of processors that Microsoft recommends for Windows 11. It passed on every thing else. And like I said there have been many folks who have said they have installed it (win 11) and it is running just fine with this very processor. In conclusion at this price it is almost basically a disposable cup…wait I mean PC, LOL…. you could just buy a new one every couple of years. Or you can do as I am going to and get the latest copy of Linux / Ubuntu Wilma and run that. (free for personal use) You can burn a copy that will boot and run from a USB drive if you want to try before installing (I have no affiliation with Linux or make any thing off this suggestion, its just something I personally like) Ok to end this, I have worked on/built computers for the last 30 + years and have quite a large knowledge base and I just can not find any reason to complain about this PC/purchase.

Pleasantly surprised!
Extremely pleased with the quality of the PC, esp considering it was only $108.I got a keyboard, wired mouse, and a wifi adaptor (looks like a USB bluetooth plug).Very pleased, esp when I saw how well everything was packed. Fantastic purchase and seriously considering another soon

People please be honest with your reviews of Items
This Item was sold, and never mention the age of the unit, and how there was no way to get the sound working without buying additional software. I am so very disappointed (This unit is 8 years OLD and the windows 10 will be discontinued in a couple of months) so I would suggest that purchasers be very honest with their ratings please.

Every-bang-for-the-buck! LOVE my 7040 OptiPlex
My Dell OptiPlex 7040 is GREAT! I can do my audio recording/production on it, as well as have 2 different 20-plus tab browsers open, all with active tabs and STILL run the highest bandwidth, country-wide, looping radar map app, multiple “picture-in-picture” windows of constantly streaming video and run Cap-Cut, ON TOP of handling all 200 windows and background processes ALL AT THE SAME TIME with no lag or bogging down. It flawlessly runs MANY different USB connected devices all at once, and with the Solid State Drive it boots in about 15 seconds. Best $110 bucks I’ve spent in a long time.

Needed a spare system for IoT development that I didn’t mind sacrificing if I messed something up. These inexpensive refurbished dell machines are perfect for that, especially since they come with a licensed copy of Windows 10 Pro bundled in with it.It has loads of USB ports (6 x USB3, 4 x USB2) so I can easily connect multiple devices simultaneously without needing an external hub, 1 HDMI port and 2 DisplayPort ports (so 3 monitors are an option), an old school Serial port, and an ethernet port.The system I received does not have built-in wifi on the board, but it came with a Wifi dongle which worked right away with minimal configuration during the setup process.It comes with a single 16GB DDR4 memory stick, so I purchased an additional 16GB stick for a total 32GB running in dual channel mode, I believe it maxes out at 64gb if the specifications if the motherboard specifications (Q170) are correct.There are limiting factors due to the small form factor of the case in that it has 1 x single lane and 1 x 16 lane PCIE which is only suitable for low profile single height cards, which seriously limits your options to a handful of lower end gaming and older workstation cards with no or very small fans. (Not ideal for modern gaming, crypto mining, or machine learning projects which generally require larger GPU resources).It has 2 spare SATA connectors, but only 1 SATA power connector, but the power supply is only 180w so I wouldn’t expect to be running too many additional devices before needing that to be upgraded anyway.It comes with a rather small 250gb (by todays standards) no-name NVME SSD and a DVD/RW which I’ll probably never use as it makes a horrible drink holder in the vertical position. ;)The installation process was simple, plug a few cables in, boot it up and follow the prompts. I did run into a small issue on the second boot though where the BIOS decided it wanted to boot from a non-existent network source rather than the SSD and did so with a fairly obscure message that your average user wouldn’t understand, a simple change in the BIOS to force it to use the SSD resolved that. As it’s a Dell, it doesn’t tend to tell you how to get into the bios on boot, so I just tried the usual assortment of keys (F2, F12, and/or esc) until one of them worked.It’s not the fastest little beasty when compared to modern offerings, but it works great as a back up development machine and possible cannon fodder for some of my more risky and ill-advised projects. Would probably work great as a basic desktop machine for normal day-to-day stuff, and you really can’t beat the price considering it comes with everything minus a monitor, but a flatscreen TV using HDMI works just fine in an pinch.I’ll probably end up buying a couple of these just to keep some spares around or perhaps to run as a lightweight development or media servers.Definitely would recommend.(See images for detailed specifications)
