Why not a fan of refurbished? Most tech hardware follows a "bathtub curve" of failure rates....either it fails early in the lifecycle, or it lasts a long time and fails near the end of its lifecycle.

These machines were announced around 4.5 years ago (sept '19). They've probably been in service for around 4...about half of most computer gear lifespans, as properly maintained desktops get around 8-10 years of life.

With refurbished, you're delaying eWaste while saving significant amounts on the cost. Computer hardware has been very capable for the 5-8 years -- although there have been performance improvements and more power efficient components, unless you're pushing a machine to the limits, you'll be hard pressed to observe a normal/office use difference between an 8th gen and a 10th/11th gen. If anything, it'd be a modest improvement when compared side-by-side.

And the specs are very decent -- video upgrade, reasonable SSD size, and 32gb ram. That's considerably more than most entry-level systems even in 2024, which still tend to be a paltry 8gb ram and 256gb ssd.

What would be the best graphics card you could upgrade this to? I know since it's SFF and the power supply typically are issues. Novice here so please be nice. 😝

ANY GPU that does not need extenal power, like these:
Beyond not needing external power, you also have to make sure it's low profile...

Dell should give this a 1 year warranty instead of a crappy 100 day. Guess they don't have much confidence in their refurbs.

Mine just delivered. Looks brand new, even inside. Not sure these are refurbs, most likely new old stock. Anyway for $200 its a good deal.

UPDATE: So I plugged the unit in and it won't boot up, just Orange blinking light. Open up the case and THERE IS NO SSD DRIVE IN THE UNIT!!! HOW DOES DELL SHIP OUT A COMPUTER AND FORGET TO PUT IN THE DRIVE????

And obviously no way to contact anyone at Dell, because Saturday is not a BUSINESS DAY!! (well at least according to them).

Mine had everything but was definitely used and even still had dirt and dust in it.I actually don't think it's that great of a deal for $200. Maybe if in better shape but it's too rough for the price. The SSD is nvme and is a chip on the motherboard just in case you didn't know. I'm thinking about returning mine for one in better shape.
