Dell Optiplex 7040 Business SFF Computer Small Tower PC (Intel Core i5-6500, 16GB Ram, 256GB SSD, DVD-RW, WiFi) Win 10 Pro (Renewed)

Based on my inspection, all the seller has done by the looks of it is install windows and make sure it boots. That sums up this Renewal process. When i removed CPU sink, there was years old thermal paste, so old that it was solid, literally chunks. I replaced the paste and it dropped minimal temp from 39c to 28c. In long term, that will extend CPU life, which is important, because thats the hear of the computer. The NVMe was a surprise, but the one i got is sitting at 80% life. its still in okay condition but i dont expect it to survive long, especially when its idle temps are 62c, and under load it gets to 80c. i give it another 2 years at most. The pc was dirty when it arrived, i dont even know if they cleaned it. The CPU sink was clean, but the case itself had black dust spots. The plastic intake mesh was dusty too, and had some white grease on it that i had to clean off. The provided mouse and keyboard was a joke. Theyre not the ones you see on the listed images. And the mouse i got is scratched, very old and has human hand grease on it in many places. They didnt bother to clean it after whoever used. Im not going to make a big deal about it since i wasnt planning to use it, but its still disgusting to find out, and in my opinion, unacceptable. The advertised WiFi adapter is missing. Its not installed on the motherboard and they didnt provide a USB version. My dumb self made the mistake of verifying that after i set up the computer while using LAN. This computer is a present, and i dont want to go through the replacement/return process. Ive contacted the seller and currently waiting on their response, to see if they can provide the missing WiFi adapter. Will update the review when issue gets resolved. \ The seller provided the missing wifi dongle.

Yeah, so this 250GB SSD tower came with two individually formatted 120GB SSDs. tf? The description says 250GB SSD. Come on now. How janky can you be? They werent even the same brand or model.

I do like this little computer dont get me wrong. My only suggestion is junk the KingFast SSD (If yours has that). Install a M2 SSD (Major Brand) instead will be faster and way more reliable. I have had at least 3 failed KingFast SSD they really are junk of junk. Other then that very nice little dell great for office work.

Ive had this little guy for about a year now (since may of 2022) and it worked fine up until yesterday it turned off on me and I smelled burn like something fried. Its likely the PSU since nothing boots at all and the power button doesnt do anything so thats disappointing... Keep this in mind when buying. Also when I had first received the PC a year ago the fan noise on the PSU was a bit odd sounding so it was probably beginning to fail already when it arrived. :( EDIT: looks like it was actually a motherboard short or a capacitor that fried... cause I got a new PSU and it still doesnt boot! the PSU test was successful though so the PSU is working but yeah the motherboard is messed up. Unfortunate :(

One of the slots for RAM appears to be damaged. I have 4 sticks and can only use 3. Yes, I removed and inserted individually to find the problem slot. Looks like the only way to fix it is to replace the whole motherboard. Wont be buy refurbished again.

Wanted to get a solid state drive workstation for my wife as she complained old computer working very slow. Found this refurbished computer with that and a lot more ram and hard drive memory that before. All did $240. Worked without a hitch and easy to set up.

Works as it should. I haven’t had any problems out of it.

Ordered two of these PCs to perform some basic functions at my work. The PCs are a good value and currently performing well. Unfortunately, one of the PCs is missing 8gb of RAM. Two of the slots are filled and identified in task manager, so I guess they stuck two 4gb sticks in rather than 8gb. Also, one mouse came with a broken right click.

Does not work - cannot log in after power on

Have been very satisfied buying refurbed PCs that have lasted for years but my first PC order through Amazon died in 7 months. Selected this item because it included a graphics card with the configuration needed for data , financial and small gaming applications. Unfortunately the system arrived with no card. Asked Amazon Customer Service to send the missing graphics card or adjust the purchase price so I could buy it but their only solution was to return the computer and reorder at a higher price. Couldnt be without a computer for several weeks and spend time to save and reinstall data/applications, so just kept it which turned out to be a bad decision.
