So my friend and I wanted to build a cute little portable gaming rig and whence researching I found what seems to be the smallest pc that supports a graphics card; at all--, buuut, the only issue is that it seems to be nonexistent in the real world. It's the Dell Optiplex 7090 MFF "Discrete". It's essentially just one of their little PC's but with space for a single slot half height graphics card. Literally the only two images that I can find of it, at all--are in the user manual. This begs the question--has anyone actually seen one before--held one? Does it actually exist? I was hoping that maybe someone in this community could help me solve this mystery. (One thing to note--before someone tells me to just; "Get the normal one and use integrated graphics", the point is to have dedicated graphics; and the best that I can get at that--a Quadro T1000. (Performance improvement also pictured via UserBenchmark.))16232134_DellOptiplex7090MFFDiscreteRearIO.thumb.jpg.26cf76a77189a7316e6e8cb8ef5e988c.jpg928509721_DellOptiplex7090MFFMotherboard.thumb.jpg.71273ec8eefca9bd8942180e65244a50.jpg1660338158_QuadroT1000Vs.UHD750.thumb.png.27240b8478e49cbfd3463efb800c53cb.png

It does exist. I've seen one. I have absolutely no idea how you could possible fit even a half-height card in there. If you're looking for a compact, cheap portable gaming rig, buy a SFF Optiplex 790 or 7010, drop in an i7 and the low-profile GPU of your choice.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

Just looked on Dell's site. If you customize the 3rd 7090 listed on the MFF page, you can get it with a low profile RX 640. Just be warned that I created this configuration using Dell's Canadian site and it might not be an available option wherever you are

Highly knowledgeable in all the obscure 2000s hardware & software you'll never need to ask about

Interesting. I'm located in the U.S.; and I know it's a longshot, but do you think you could send me the link?
