Not bad. But it's very comparable to a 3010 and 3020 speed wise, which you can get for around $60 these days and add an SSD. Just has the 16gb of ram.

But I don't think the processor is compatible with Windows 11. But I'll cross that bridge with my 5 non compatible computers when it gets there. I'm still running Windows 7 which I use on my primary computer and still doing fine for now.

I have used refurbs from ebay for about 15 years. not a real problem yet. buying another is cheaper than upgrading significantly the RAM. tempted to upgrade my last 4 gig rams at this price

How can I get two 2.5G port on this? Any supported dual port NIC that is compatible with this? My internet speed is above 1G and I am currently using UDM SE.

Great deal, I'd jump on this for my PVE cluster but already went with a couple 7010's instead.

Good price for a plex server. Just add another HDD or connect to your NAS.

I have an optiplex micro on an older i5 4560t running ubuntu and plex, 2 ark servers and it acts as a samba share for my home devices. Starting to run low on memory (maxed at 16gb).. Wont upgrade for another few years though..

Get the 7th generation or higher Intel CPU if you want the Quicksync Hardware Support for HEVC format media.
