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

I put Ubuntu Server on this machine and was able to run a Valheim Server for a few friends and I. Runs great, and has enough power for the price.

Good computer. Good price. Has no WiFi card so for my purposes it’s useless.

This Refurbished Dell is extremely dirty and very well used. Exterior of case & mouse are beat to heck. There should be a difference between Refurbished and well used. I didnt even fire it up. Going to return it. See picture

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.

I had been seeing videos on these, and my dad needed a new pc. May be refurbished but it’s fast. As far as noise- you don’t even know it’s on. It purrs like a kitten.

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.

so far so good

Old monitor plug does not fit!

inauthentic Windows product key / serial. I had to fix the Windows installation with PowerShell because it completely failed the Activation. Took off 1 star for that. Otherwise , its a sweet refurb Dell! I routinely open 50 or 70 tabs simultaneously. Dont forget to grab the Dell Command Update software to streamline driver and firmware updates.

I am using this product for a month and was working fine. All the sudden one day it starts booting and say “Alert! Hard drive or optical drive not found.”
