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

We use this for general use and small business. Spreadsheets and Quickbooks I personally prefer Dell computers. This refurbished computer does the job well. The description stated it was Wi-Fi ready but it was not. I had to go purchase one to get it upgraded and ready to use. I reached out to the seller and they discounted the price. That was acceptable.

Advertised at 256GB but only has 238GB.

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 :(

Overall the computer is not bad but it did not come with a wifi adapter, it came with a bluetooth adapter. I had two other issues: After I started the computer and windows loaded it could not update properly. After several hours of restarting and trying to recover and update again, I gave up and downloaded the windows install iso from the microsoft website and that installed and updated just fine in a fraction of the time. The other issue is with adding a graphics card which was supposed to be possible according to the answered questions. I bought a 1050ti graphics card to install but the graphics card requires a PCIe slot and is two slots wide. The PCIe slot in this computer is directly adjacent to the power supply which leaves no room to install the card. If you have a graphics card that is only a single slot width it should fit although that wouldnt really be an upgrade over the built in graphics would it. On the good side, my unit was pretty clean when it arrived, only dirt was the blades on the case fan. It runs quiet and didnt come with all the typical Dell bloatware you get if you buy a computer from Dell. The keyboard was pretty poor but I did have a better one on hand.

Computer came perfectly fine, I have experience with this model of computer and this is what i reccomend. However it did not come with the main 2 cords.

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 had to ship my $2000 computer to the manufacturer for repair (I hope), so I ordered this one first. $165, and it really does run like new. Way to go Refurbanana.

Product powered up for 3 seconds, then permanently shutdown. Tried everything. Huge waste of time!

Computer is good overall had no issues so far with it.

was easy for old man to set-up! cant figure out what blue button on back, is for! it has a arrow pointing down?
