I checked Acer website and every detail from chip to in/out ports seem to be the same. They wanted $20 more retail for something. Could be different part they had to sub or newer build etc.. but if you figure it out, feel free to post.

Based on Acer’s product page, it looks like it has one x16 slot and one x1 slot.
The PSU is only 300W, so that will be a limiting factor alongside the size of the case (<4” wide). You’ll either want to move it into a larger case with a higher wattage PSU so you can add a graphics card of your choice, or you’ll want to save the money you’ll spend on those things and get something closer to what you’re wanting out of the box.
Small form factor PCs generally aren’t suited as a basis for being made into a gaming or CAD-type machine if that’s why you’re asking. They’re fine for office environments, but the proprietary components like the power supply limit your upgrade options significantly. Sometimes, even if you can get a discrete GPU in them, the chipsets on the motherboard won’t be able to take full advantage of its power because they were chosen for stability vs. performance.

He also lists cards taht he says are compatible such as Radeon 6400 or GTX 1050, 1650, 1030
Seems basically low profile and low Watt cards which makes sense.

Does anyone know the difference between 001 and 003?

Seems to be plenty for most people. Limited options if you want a GPU.
You might could get a Dell 7060 I5 with six cores for a similar price. It has more ports if you need that but DP instead of HDMI. Just stay gen 8 or higher for Windows 11.

Exactly. I bought it on EBay. Second one the first was a Gen 6 7040 it works fine but I wanted one that would run Windows 11. I paid $251 for a I7 Gen 8. It is the mini Desktop size so four slots and full width. It is still limited on GPU choices. No power supply cord for the GPU. I saw many under $200 with I5's. My 7040 was an I5.
Does this have unused PCI express slots for graphics card?
