My 10 year old Dell XPS home PC could use an upgrade. Is there any reason one of these wouldn't be good as a home PC? No gaming...most taxing thing I would do is photo and video editing. My current PC sometimes "blacks out" for several seconds when I select a photo to edit.
I haven't seen Dell refurbished home PC's (XPS and Inspiron) in quite some time.

Perfect for that, this is more power than most non gamers need.
My desktop is having issues, been looking for a deal on upgrading but I would like to be able to pull out the geforce rtx 2060 and put it into something better, but the card is long. I've been using my laptop for the time being but these deals are tempting, even as an alternative to using my old dell laptop from 2016.
SFF, you need a single slot low profile card.
Best value card is something like the RX6400[ebay.com]
If you go to MT format case, you may be able to fit some short 2 fan GPU, but it will be a tight fit. The single fan (itx) GPU will fit.
The other consideration is the power supply. You will have to upgrade to a more beefier one.
I'm someone that always buys new, spent $4K on my Alienware 17.
That said, for a desktop, I would take a refurb $200 Pro machine from Dell over anything at Best Buy, etc., that is new. You're getting the Pro Windows, no dealing with online/only accounts.
Pretty good specs for the price. You guys think it can run blueiris and jellyfin together?
I can't speak for BlueIris, but I run a jellyfin server on a 4th gen xeon with transcoding done by a Nvidia T400 video card and it'll transcode up to 14 simultaneous 1080p streams without really taxing the CPU at all. From what I understand Intel's QuickSync from 7th gen on up can handle even more than that directly in the iGPU. Unless BlueIris is doing something beyond just encoding video streams to tax the CPU, I'd say you should be fine.

any good desktop deals that are not refurbs?
I bought this like a year ago for $225 for my parents, slapped in a RX6400 and some spare ram. My nephews uses it for Roblox when they visits and I also upgraded to windows 11. Been flawless. Why would you need a brand new desktop vs a refurnished? How are you intending to use a desktop? I can see this dell lasting for another 8 years for my parents.
Can you upgrade the memory on the 1-5s? The 16gb seems sold out so i am settling on an 8gb for plex server. Retiring my ds920 to become just storageā¦.

If you want to use that GPU in an OEM system, look at one of the workstations like the HP Z2 G4 Tower [ebay.com] or Dell Precision 3630 [ebay.com]
