So did I as I installed 1,500$ worth of parts in a cardboard case, but it works amazingly and stays cool and quiet without a single case fan.

 

And yes my desk is messy, I live at tesla practically and dont have time to clean shit lol

I have a whole 5 foot stack of Optiplex motherboards in a corner somewhere. Yet my desk is the cleanest thing in my shop lol

He needs a low profile card with a custom PCB.

That is a full profile 750Ti.

If ever you wanna find small GPUs in Amazon or new egg jsut put the model and low profile at the end usually finds them. I;ve seen 1050s noen TI versiosn too which are even cheaper but yeah a 1050ti would be a fine GPU for basic gaming.

Basic? I run Fallout 4 on Ultra on my 1050ti FTW. Lol this tiny ass Optiplex that's the same size as an xBox is gonna run FO4 on Ultra lamo. Same as GTAV and pretty much everything else.

 

Oh and he's got a Samsung 850 Evo in it too. I'll take pics and benchmark it if the guy lets me.

@H0R53 hope my advice andl ink helped you out. The TI is an overall I think better deal cause both max out at 75 watts for maximum power consumtion makign them ideal for PSUs without extra pin connectors. Also both reccomend only a 300W PSU for system.

Yeah, I couldn't find the 1050ti 4GB on Amazon for some reason. I've already purchased it and the waiting game begins.

 

If everything works well I'm gonna get me one for myself. Most people don't realize how small the 990 USFF really is.

Yeah, this guy's gonna be happy as hell in about a week when it comes in. Console killer.

 

Literally, the 990 is the same volume as the xBox One, and with his i7 and 16GB of RAM this GPU is gonna kick some console butt!

That's going to be a hell of an upgrade from GT 710 to GTX 1050 Ti. Still not as big as when I upgraded my shit from GeForce 8400 GS to GTX 970 though. 

[Tellos]

@H0R53 I;ve worked with WAY too many optiplex models during my internship in college. The network coordinator and I found ways to figure out how to make them do a lot. I like dells for basics or if oyu plan to modfiy it to do more. I say jsut knwo what your getting into. But Yes I;ve owned one even and utiliuzed it for things. Dells are if nothing else reliable usually in a bare bones sorta way.

I've run Fallout 4 on a GT 710 before. It sucked.

I will wholeheartedly admit that I am a Dell fanboy. I absolutely love every Dell computer I've ever owned, and to list a few:

Vostro 1500

Latitude 2110

D430

D620 x3

Latitude 3340

Countless Optiplex's

Inspiron 540

Inspiron 17R Special Edition (i7 3612QM)

@H0R53 I have a still running Latitude 100L. maxed it's RAM out at 1.24gigs [cause mobo cannot read all of it] still runs to this day and has outlasted a XPS 400 a Optiplex 560 and two of my folks Asus PCs. It shows it's extreme age but it is a fuckign tank when taken care of.

I have a D620 that I found in a dumpster behind my store. It had 1GB of RAM, an 80GB 5400 HDD and water damage on the screen. I fixed the screen, added more RAM, upgraded the CPU, bought the nVidia chipset (OG was the Intel chipset...lame), and I'm just waiting for the heatsink (Cause the Intel one is missing a heatpipe for the nVidia variant) and new charger.

 

I had a D830 that could run Skyrim.

 

Dells are extremely good machines. They're well built, easy to manage and seem to take care of themselves. If you take care of them and they last forever, they gain a lot of character.

@H0R53 my 110L I had to canibalize a borken dell to replace the bulb. Wasint a perfect match but jsut means being VERY careful on the hinge.

Those CCFL tubes are stupid fragile, I've broken many dead ones removing them for replacement. You can get new ones cheap from China but they often break in shipping or even just opening the box they come in.

Dell Alienware M11xR3 that served as my daily driver and main gaming PC for 4 years I retired recently

 

Dell support were insanely good. Cooling system and battery is fucked now and I don't need the dGPU that the M11xR3 offers so I bought a new machine. 

 

It still looks kick ass, and that's something my new EliteBook doesn't offer

Hell I have two Alienware systems I'm working on. One I found in a dumpster with just the mobo and a QX 6850 and the other is a client's. needless to say they both still kick ass. Both mine and the client's run dual GTX 550ti's in SLI, but mine's got a Xeon X5460, and he's got the QX6850 (huge u/g from the E4200 his had before, lol).

They can both run Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition.

 

I plan on getting water cooling (on order) and 2 GTX 950s (already got one) as well as a little more RAM for mine, gonna push the X5460 past 4Ghz. Dell still has documentation for it on their site.

 

One of the three monitors I use on my desk is a Dell VGA monitor from 2001. 85Hz and no dead pixels.

They're insanely reliable pieces of hardware. All that died in my system was the fan bearing, but it is on a seperate board soldered to the heatsink (????), so the replacement part is like $70-80AUD. Battery is $80AUD - dropping $160 on a machine that has a U-series Sandy Bridge dual at 1.6Ghz and a GT 540M isn't worth it. 

 

Instead, I purchased my EliteBook 2570p for $220. 

It's an Ivy dual-core with room to upgrade to a 45W quad

And has dual HDD/SSD support, as well as external GPU support. This thing is a fucking workhorse lmao

Single slot GPU - go all the way and get a GALAX Katana 1070 - absoloute beasts

I got the D620 heatsink in today, and reassembled the whole machine.

 

Dell makes their best laptop cases out of magnesium alloy, so it's incredibly tough. Their motherboards are the most resilient electronics I've ever worked on.
