There are deals popping up on eBay all the time for 6th and 7th generation Intel CPU desktops with SSD and Windows 10 for less than $100. Seller sent me an offer on eBay item number 394187094679 (search sold items) today for $94.70 shipped, just because I viewed his listing, although it sold since then. It's an Optiplex 5050 SFF, i5-6500, 8GB, 128GB SSD, fresh load of Windows 11.

Check in at eBay regularly and set your search criteria for:

Desktop Computer
Price: less than $100
Sort by: newly listed

Your deal will show up sooner than later. I recently picked up a Dell 3040 SFF ready to go for $60 shipped, and it's a wonderful little machine. Looks brand new as well. And has native 4K HDMI output for my 4K monitor. Good times.

it had better be, at 230% of the price. Both are excellent deals, depending on your needs. I'm a big fan of Acer desktops after owning a couple of them for quite a few years with heavy use. I've had zero problems with them.

I bought the refurb Optiplex 5040 and sent it back. The product description states it comes with 8gb DDR4 ram. It does not. It comes with DDR3 RAM. Dell did not make a 5040 with DDR4 RAM. I contacted Amazon and encouraged them to adjust their listing description.

I ended up buying a refurb Acer Aspire with an i5 11400 and 8gb ddr4 ram for $300. the processor upgrade was worth it, as the machine is going to handle 8 security cams with deepstack AI.

I bought 2 of these recently. Great office computers. I kinda wanted i5 for future proofing, but $100 more is a 50% price increase over these! I would pay maybe 20% more for i5...
I clean installed W11 Pro in these and one of them activated without buying the upgrade license. So I think I got lucky and a pro license was linked to it's bios in it's past life. Also did not have to hunt for any drivers, windows update seems to have taken care of everything. Both looked brand new with protective stickers still on areas. Upgraded them to 16gb RAM and running great.

These must be lightning fast with zero lag in multitasking after the RAM upgrade. I shudder to think of what others are paying for this kind of performance. How do you rate yours on a scale of 10, with Windows 11 and 16GB?

Glad you started this thread. You are experimenting with all these different acer refurbs. After reading your thread on the 88 dollar Acer, I picked up a couple and I'm very happy with it.
I have 2 of these i3-10th gen ACER refurbs too, but your graph that you posted is NOT what I get with the i3-10th gen! It must have a graphics card in tha i3-10th gen benchmark , because this is my benchmark for the i3-10th gen. (also posted the benchmark for celeron 88, and i5-11th gen. So all 3 are the Acer Refurbs that has SD threads on them.
my celeron 88 dollar benchmark https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/53971214
my i3-10th gen benchmark https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/53612952
my i5-11th gen benchmark https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/53609520

this is the link to the benchmark you posted https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Com...5vsm444211
...your link comparing the i3-10th gen to celeron was way too high, super high, because it doesn't mention the graphics card that was installed in the i3-10th gen version k. Smilie

Other than that, I love all 3 versions of the Acer refurbs, they do different stuff. My main PC driver is the i5-11th gen with 16 gb ram.

Tell us what you are up to, since you test these things , and I enjoy your updates.

I didn't post that link; someone else did and I responded that it wasn't an accurate comparison. I'll link the page below where that happened. I recently purchased this i3 Acer, and it's a really cool, powerful little box for $200. I'll probably leave it at factory spec; it does everything I need and more right out of the box. When they release the 18th generation i3's I might do a ram upgrade to keep it more viable. Smilie

Oh and after some HDCP handshake issues with my old 1080P home theater receiver, I splurged and bought a refurb Sony STR-ZA1100ES pro grade 4K AV receiver on the Secondipity Sony refurb deal. A $400 receiver to accommodate a $200 computer. Now that's what I call progress. Ha!

Thanks for commenting. The tech side of Slickdeals is a great place to compare notes (and argue a lot, it would seem, hehehe)

Thanks for the numbers.
Makes me feel good about going i3 over i5. Small improvement for 50% more!

Well, yes and no. The i5-11thgen has pci-4th gen slot so you can put in the latest low profile graphics card like the rx-6400 (150 dollars) which would be double the bus speed of the i3-10th gen pci-3rd gen.

Also, double the NVMe (500gb) and newer chipset features for 100 dollars over the i3 model. I have all 3 models , so there are reasons the i5 is 100 dollars more ... and it is currently my Daily PC driver. Each of the 3 Acers has a different purpose for me. It depends , in the future would you want to add graphics card or not. Understand the i5 -11thgen has INTEL 730 graphics, and the i3-10thgen has INTEL 630 graphics. I do not knock any of these 3 ACERS, just understand the differences.

Are you able to add a second drive? I'm thinking of using this as a Jellyfin/Plex server.

Here's how I am using this desktop

- 2x NVMe (moved the 256gb nvme to a PCIe and installed a Samsung evo pro 2 tb as the primary drive)
- 3x SATA
- 32gb RAM
- The integrated graphics don't support 3440x1440 60p so I plugged in both HDMI's into my same monitor, enabled SBS picture mode and used the merge outputs feature in the intel graphics app.
-Windows 11 is awesome!

I also got 2x 88 Celerons running proxmox+docker with a few homeserver apps. Got another 88 Celeron set up at my parents house for backup, connected through both tailscale and cloudflare tunnel. These machines from Acer are simply amazing and these acer deals are at the top of my favourite slickdeals of all time.

Get one while you can as they will eventually run out of these machines to sell.

Interesting. Are they working on CL16 timings at 3200mhz speed?

If so, they could be faster than the stock CL22 3200mhz RAM that comes with it

Thank you OP for posting this. My hard drive is failing on a 4th Gen Core i3 desktop running Windows 8.1. This refurb will bring me into the modern Windows 11 era at a pretty good price.
