I'm not Just talking about these particular models. Any PC is a business workstation until you stick a GPU in it. And they have many models capable of installing full size GPUs. They just don't have the power supply to support it nor do they give you options to upgrade.
Ahhh No...

Dell Inspiron - Consumer PC
Dell OptiPlex - Business PC
Dell Precision - Workstation PC

They're all different.

Looking for a cheap PC that I can connect 3 tv screens to for a single stretched digital signage. Will any of these work well for that?

Not without an additional graphics card.

ETA: Actually, I stand corrected. The 5050SFF has two DP ports plus an HDMI port, so you should be able to connect three screens. Whether they can handle 3x4k, I don't know.

The MFF only has two total video ports.

Anyone know how much power something like this would typically draw with say 4 HDs vs an equivalent NAS? The Pogoplug DIY setup I have now only hits somewhere around 10MB/s. I'd love something faster but can't get myself to pull the trigger on a NAS since they seem to cost more than a PC like this.... need to consider operational cost over time though...

Depends on which one you choose vs what the NAS is running. I haven't tested this, but I can tell you that ignoring the hard drive consumption (which would be the same on any platform), I tested an idling 9020 SFF with an i5 and got about 25 watts. Figure these will be similar or a little lower.

You can build a NAS with a Raspberry Pi if you want, and many canned NASes use Intel Atoms to really keep their power consumption at a minimum. However, it's worth noting that many of them are designed to run at the limit in normal operation, so if you're planning on running some additional processes that aren't built in, you may tax its CPU capacity.

If you're willing to spend a little more, you can get a 5060MT with i5-8600 [dellrefurbished.com], 256GB SSD and Windows 10 home for $200 after code YES2DELL5060. This one is officially supported by Windows 11. And it would probably make a decent entry-level gaming system with the addition of an appropriate video card. The SFF PCs aren't really suitable for gaming since there are few good half-height video cards.
The code YES2DELL5060 only reduces $150, making that $239.00 before tax.

Yes, all the low priced machines sold out several days ago, after I posted that.

Most of these chips should support 64 GB. That's what Intel says the 6600T can support.

64 GB is almost always going to be overkill, but with DDR4 prices going under $2/GB for some of these slower kits, it's not going to break the bank if you want to do it. Set up a ramdrive or something.

I'll look at the manual to confirm after I get mine.

This one [dellrefurbished.com] is probably your best bet for $130. I assume you mean you want to use it as a STB, not a server.

you still have a working pogoplug? Mine stopped working after they said they're turning it off and I couldn't login to it anymore.
