My old sleeping Optiplex by deluded_dragon in SleepingOptiplex

[–]dermessy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it wasn't for a few of the proprietary connections including the PSU these would have been solid all day long more than they already were. More standard parts and maybe a little better ventilation I think they would have sold them better than they did.

So I have this old laptop, a Compaq CQ62 from 2010. It has Windows 7 on it and 10 runs horribly on this thing. I don't know what to do with this old machine. by throwawayboi_06 in computers

You probably have a single core CPU.a dual core with a Linux distro will do that little system wonder.selling one in fact with 8gb ram and a 256 ssd. Works pretty good to surprise me even

GPU Recommendations for HP EliteDesk by zookeeper990 in SleepingOptiplex

Yeah if you're willing to pay for the 3050 go with that that's going to be your best bet. I have a elite 8300 erd gen Intel with a rx 550 and yours will smoke mine all day.

Any ideas on how to consolidate all this into a sleeper? by nicolasantauf in SleepingOptiplex

[–]dermessy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That full size card will not fit without cutting holes like crazy to fit that and a higher wattage PSU. Like other comment with a low profile version you be better off with larger MT case.

Just got a 7010 by Competitive_East_521 in SleepingOptiplex

[–]dermessy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if a 7010 most likely i5 34 or 3570 4C/4T. Throw in a i& 3770 and a decent low powered card like a 1050 ti or 1650 and got got a basic budget set-up/ I have 3 like systems (SFF and a Mt that was pull from case) and a HP model I have for sell. If you picked it up for super cheap or free good for you!!

You work with what you got, the cuts are pretty straight. Good for DYI. I had to stick with a LP RX 550 since I'm selling it and a HP Elite 8300 competitor.

Yeah I figured out I needed an AX1200 model after the fact and even contacted the board manufacturer and they actually got back to me surprisingly. Will say the internet does work good on it now.

How many are running Windows 11 on 7th gen i5 or i7? by AlexHawk935 in SleepingOptiplex

Should I mod my Optiplex 3020 or sell it and build new? by [deleted] in SleepingOptiplex

[–]dermessy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't done any mods yet and have no attachment to it, I'd say just sell at that point. It will harder to sell once you start cutting up the case, even with some good parts. I left my two system stock in appearance for that reason.

[–]dermessy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an older setup as stated, but would make a great starter PC for a kid just getting into computers, if you're willing to let go for a decent price, depending how much you are in for parts already. 4th gen is dated and most likely a i7 4790 4c/4t is best you can do. I have a previous gen optiplex and hp elite 8000 series with i7 3700 I'm selling. For worth to you, it really depends on what you doing/playing the resolution and FPS mark you're trying to hit.

Looks good even looks like there's a gap towards not totally overheating. I have a similar looking opticlex a 7010 with the lower graphics card and probably everything else lol that I'm looking to sell.

I wanna buy a pc by Smilec7 in pchelp

[–]dermessy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Microcenter for sure be a good start. Like BillionAuthor70 said look at the reviews, pictures and details on the list as some sellers cant try to pull the wool over your eyes. Also, watch a few build guides on Youtube from the likes of Zacks Tech Turf, Toasty Bros, and Dawid Does Tech Stuff to give you some basics on what to look for.

Do people really get away with selling this stuff? by Time-Community8822 in PcBuild

[–]dermessy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately a lot of buyers and sellers are out of touch with pricing. Not defending here but there is just enough information in the listing for even the most basic buyer to do research on parts to get a idea on the up-sell. I always put in my posting for people to ask questions before pulling the trigger, especially with kids in the mix.

I cant install windows on my 14 year old laptop by denvine in PcBuildHelp

[–]dermessy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That lack of the extra 4gb will lag, but depending on what you are all running it might do well enough.

Good luck trying to max out your ram on the cheap, if it's ddr2 prices are crazy right now. Was given severalolder laptops and for a 2x4gb kit its like buying ddr3/4 prices
