Probably an OptiPlex 3010. I got one off eBay for $110 shipped four years ago with an i5 and 16gb ram. Held up with a 750ti then an rx 580 pretty well (after power supply upgrade). The 7010 and 790 was when Dell switched to the proprietary PSU connector.

Do you still have it?

Nope not the 790. The 790(2nd gen) is actually older than the 3010(3rd gen). There is also the Optiplex 990 which is pretty much exactly the same as a 790 but one of them has different RAID support or something. I have both a 990 and 790 motherboard and they both are still from the time when Dell still used standard connectors and stuff.

[@watercannonscollaboration2281]

Oh god these things are so hard to covert to a sleeper. I did it for an optiplex 7010 with an asrock b450m steel legend and a Vega 56 and the front panel headers are very proprietary (especially the usb2/audio header), there are pin outs on forums but be prepared for front panel audio to not work. You also need either a dremel or a sacrificial screw and a lot of force because the hard drive cage is part of the case. You can actually attach a 120mm fan/AIO in the front with 2 screws once the hard drive cage is removed, so I’m very much looking forward to how the next video will look

[@Davidx_117]

Wouldn't it be easier to use a drill bit + drill and drill out all the rivets since the HDD cage is riveted in? It's what I plan to do, and the front I/O I'm thinking of using a 5.25" bay to USB & 3.5/2.5" drive adapter and covering up the old I/O (I don't use front audio ports, and I've also heard front audio ports are not optimal anyway due to interference but I believe it varies based on cable quality). As for the proprietary power/reset cable that should be easy enough with soldering and heat shrink tubing onto standard connectors

Sandy and ivy bridge were really where that style of optiplex MT got it’s start. Before this is the LGA 775 based optiplex 780 which have the black plastic front panels sandwiched between 2 storm grey side panels. 2nd and 3rd gen intel use the same socket of course, so the relatively free of proprietary garbage design was maintained until Haswell came around. Those 4th gen machines look almost identical externally, but make the move to dells weird dumpster juice psu connectors.

Gas Stations here in the US can have great food. The best tasting cuban in my town (so far) is from a gas station deli.

[@ObiWill1]

That description of the gas station, hot dog fart had me laughing pretty hard. Good stuff man keep it up.

[@robredz]

Triassic period Graphics port ouch. The stuck on RGB covering the optical drive bays, looks like an early LCD tV screen.

[@itz_derek8082]

Good job Dawid i always love finishing the week watching one of your videos and it's like every video you upload the quality and content gets better and better keep it up!!!

[@methodmantis3060]

As much as I love this video and all of your work on this channel, and I DO love it... I can't help but feel like there were several points throughout this video that were screaming in agony to please insert a sneaky Quagmire somewhere in frame. Be that as it may, still another banger. Bravo, Dawid

I have that same CPU bought a prebuilt from a local computer store in 2013-2014 and it's still running

[@Thewaterspirit57]

Also the Vega 6 iGPU does better, only because the thing has more cores and a higher frequency than the UHD770. Though lots of people have mixed thoughts about the CPU it’s packaged with. 4 cores 8 threads is good, and the thing is cheaper in the long run if you configure a system well enough, but it still doesn’t compare to 10th or 12th gen i3s.

100% have to do a crazy high end optiplex build, if there was ever an optiplex case to do it in, that's the one!

[@jojak12]

Yes we want to see you put some dope fresh and phat hard ware inside that optiplex

[@NXSProductions]

@Dawid, get yourself the i7-3770, slap it in there and so long as your GPU is the GDDR5 version of the card and not the normal DDR variant, you can easily get 60-90FPS in 1080p on GTA. On low/medium settings, I got mine to run Forza 5 at 60-80+ with no hangups, stutter, or crashes (you must have all game updates applied). These Optiplex systems are still very capable budget machines. Especially considering you are revamping the much more ancient Optiplex/Dimension with the Core 2 CPU in it.

[@pete6300]

Dawid is a beast. This is the only tech tube channel I still watch. I got tired of the others making the same dull "I know you guys can't get a GPU buuut my channel needs a video anyway".

[@justair44]

I am actually surprised they didn't do that... (make a sleeper build) it's got all it needs to be able to easily move over to a higher end matx build rather than the circa 2013 era i5s. The 1030s are hard to get a hold of right now to... (CAD 130ish if you can even find one..) so it would have made some sense to just go to a Amd Ryzen 5600G with no video card and still sell it for 7-800.

[@joshuascholar3220]

You've found your real calling, audio equipment reviews. I can't wait!

[@All_I_can_say_is_Wow]

I kind of like the curve in the infinity mirror, just wish it took up more of the front of the case.

[@christiancomputing8771]

My guess is that the Optiplex originally had a 2nd gen Intel CPU in it and the seller upgraded it to a 3rd gen CPU. All of the Optiplexes I’ve owned have USB 3.0 with the 3rd gen CPUs and USB 2.0 and VGA with 2nd gen CPUs. That’s my guess as an ancient Dell Optiplex aficionado.

[@dariopiovani5077]

NGL that's probably one of the least sinful office grade cases to do a sleeper build in. Looks like it comes stock with some form of ventilation, is that front panel completely punch-through with that cheese grater design? (That and the OEM form factor component mounts, ofc.)

[@Josue31627]

Honestly if that GT 1030 wasn't DDR4 (it has to be, the GDDR5 still beats or matches all integrated graphics) and had an i7 it definitely wouldn't be a scam at all, if it cost less than perhaps around $400 USD but no more than that (already a stretch). It does seem to be based of the Dell Optiplex 3010 which is the cheapest version of the Ivy Bridge-based Optiplexes. How much did it cost? I didn't really recall if you ever mentioned it. I love the Dell Optiplex videos. They're really a relic that's still very much usable in 2021/2022.

[@Alfadragon17]

My first rig was a i5-3470, 16 GB of RAM, and a RX 480 and AIO water cooler. Not the best, but for what I paid it ran Cities: Skylines modded half decently. I eventually upgraded but those old i5 processors aren't that bad.

[@georgeprice4212]

Those RBG on the pc remind me of some jukeboxes from the late 70’s to early 80’s that used similar lighting.

[@lordcron]

The Gas Station fart joke was so funny! LOL!

[@DeerJerky]

Thank goodness it wasn't just me that was just confused as heck on the new Fortnite menu. Sat there for a good 2 minutes wondering where the heck the normal gamemodes were lol Definitely looking forward to that follow-up video!

[@lenwitte]

The front IO is not standard. Putting a MATX MB in will be tough. But you can put a power supply, an i7, 16gb mem, and a GTX 1070 and get respectful gaming.
