Main issue I had was that the non k chip variants get a cooler which isn't adequate and the CPU will thermal throttle under load. You can pretty readily find the awkwardly named 0T57JF 0KTDJC cooler and fan combo on eBay which slots perfectly into the Precision T3630 and fixes the problem.
Edit to add - this is pretty much exactly what I got - I think it was a few dollars cheaper: https://www.dellrefurbi

Several yrs ago bought on NewEgg for about $100 - looking for an upgrade!
Any other deals to sweeten this?

Earlier in the year, they were offering 50% discounts, but I don't know if that will be repeated. 40% seems more common lately. Supply and demand. With that said, I've been very happy with the desktop I got back in January. Wife uses it almost daily with no complaints, so can't beat that.
I think it depends on their supply/demand but also specs. Sometimes higher end specs maybe priced much nicer, like 16 --> 32gh upgrade for $20 more for example...
are they faster, or have more storage ability? what is the advantage of these Precision desktops over the Optiplex desk top pc? thanks

You can technically get Windows 11 on old Intel (and AMD) CPUs as well, but it requires a little bit more work.
Edit: as others have corrected me, if Dell says "No OS", that means that it didn't come with Windows when it was first sold/leased. Therefore, you won't be able to activate Windows for free on these machines. I recently picked up an old Optiplex off of Craigslist that didn't have an OS on the drive, but I was able to activate Windows on it. I thought this would be the same. Sorry for the confusion. 🥴

why doesn't it have an OS if it is baked in?
thanks

This wouldn't work on just any machine AFAIK. It has to be a machine that ships with Windows. (And not all Dell machines do.)
