Found one of these in the dumpster with a fried Pentium D and no RAM, HDD, nor optical drive. Dropped $45 for a Core 2 Quad, Radeon HD, and 8 GB of RAM. Surprisingly fast and capable, considering it's a decade old.

For those of you asking what video card he's using, here's the best way to determine what will work: Look at how many amps a card takes up, then look at how many amps the power supply can withstand on the 12 volt rail. You also need to figure in how many amps the processor is taking up, because that's also on the 12v rail. I've had success with the Radeon HD 2400 pro, the Had 3450 pro, and the HD 4550. Look for cards with comparable amps to those 3.

I recently got my hands on one of these 755s (The small form factor version) and discovered something interesting about it. I had upgraded the CPU to a Core2 Quad Q9650 when I realized the Bios now showed options related to Vt-d virtualization technology. Turns out both it's motherboard and the CPU I'd installed supported it. I never got to play with Vt-d and I am a fan of virtualization so I thought about what I could do with it. Naturally, gaming is my first go to when contemplating ideas so I came up with setting up a couple of VMs and see if I can't play some multiplayer between them. So I got my hands on a couple of gt 520 cards (one pci and one pcie x1) with 512mb of video ram and slotted them in. They aren't powerful cards by today's standards, but plenty good enough for some older games I was interested in installing. I gave the system 8 Gb of 800mhz RAM and a 1 Tb 10krpm HDD. I knew that since it was going to end up basically being a server and two desktop computers that even though I was just installing older games, it needed all the RAM and drive speed it could get without compromising storage space for the games to be installed on. I installed Ubuntu Server on the computer along with Linux KVM to be the hypervisor. Then I set up my drive partitions and two virtual machines, and I assigned each one of the graphics cards. Then I installed Ubuntu Desktop on each VM and they were good to go and have the games installed via wine. I debated whether to set up a multi-seat configuration by just plugging in two monitors and keyboard/mouse combos, or whether I wanted it to run as a headless server for a couple of thin clients, but I settled on the multi-seat setup for perfomance reasons. Remote desktop just adds a delay to everything, and for gaming it needed to be responsive. That said, so long as I wasn't trying to remote in over the internet it should have been more managable. I now run it as a headless server with a few cheap thin clients in separate rooms so neither player can complain about cheating by looking at the other's screen.

for anyone asking, you can'tupgrade the power supplies on any of the 745 optiplex series EXCEPT the 745 MINITOWER, the chasis usies a btx? which means virtually everything in it is proprietary. if you check out my chnanel you can actually see the upgrade i did to my optiplex which was upgrades CPU to c2d e6700, and a 6670 HSI thats about as good as its going to get which this platform, i can run any modern game on my platform without issue. bear in mind that with my graphics card i had to physically mod the card by shaving off some of the plastic to get it to fit in the case

Hello! I'm a Computer Tech. I've been upgrading computers since 1998. I have a vendor that sells me used SFF Dell's Optiplex like the one you are displaying here. I only request the Intel i3's, i5's and i7's. They don't have any hard drives or memory which, I can have at my shop. Believe it or not, he sells me the units for $20.00. Of course, they are in great shape. I bring my own hard drive and ram to make sure they are functioning correctly.I just add 1 TB Western Digital Green hard drives, and 8 GB Ram, I install whatever OS it says on the Product Key and that is all to it. Oh! I sell them for only $99.00 each. And I give the clients a 1 year warranty too!

Nice and clear video. Thanks. Now, could you install a second regular size HDD in the DVD bay if you didn't need a DVD drive? I liked your video because I have an old PC very similar to this that I'm also using as a server but it only has an 80 GB HDD and I'd like to add a second storage drive. I have an external DVD that I use when I need it so the server really doesn't need a DVD device in it. The 80GB is fine for it's purpose but I'd like to transfer music and video to a second drive so it doesn't need to rely on an external HDD for storage. What do you think?

It has 3GB of RAM and is using on-board graphics. I intend to buy a video card for it next month (October) and a new video card for it (GT 1030 - LP). I also plan to upgrade the RAM to 8GB and maybe do a Core 2 Quad in the future.

hello! I bought a 780 Optiplex Mini (or micro?) Tower pc, whit the same size on the video. I'd like to ask if there are any options to upgrade it with a vga card? Unfortunatelly it came witha a dell 255 w psu, and official dell servicepoints state that, there are no third party psu-s (with higher performance )compatible with this machine, so I can't change the 255 w psu with a more powerful one, therefore using a dedicated vga card is not reccommended. Is this really true? Anyways are there any low tdp 1gb dd3 graphic cards that can work with 255 watts without destroying the psu? The processor is a core 2 duo e8400 (65w),2x2gb dd3 1333mhz ram, usb keyboard, mouse, are connected. No floppy drive, no dvd rw ...

Hello I currently have a dell optiplex 755 with a 80gb hard drive. I want to upgrade this and I am looking for a cheap 250gb hard drive that I can upgrade it with. Could you please send me a link to get this. Also I wanted to know could I also keep the 80gb hard drive as a second drive and get maybe another 2.5 hard drive like u mentioned and how I would do that and if you could also get me the link for that kind of smaller hard drive?

Hi +TechSteveSD, awesome video. I have an old optiplex 740 desktop laying around which I'm upgrading right now. Im planning on getting the same graphics card as you have, but as you know the PSU wattage is pretty low (275w). Do you think I have to upgrade the powersupply in order to run this graphicscard? Specs: AMD athlon 64 x2 4800+ 6,00 gb of ram (planning on maxing it to 8) Windows 10 pro 64bit And, just a 80gb hardrive (will be upgraded)

Just look for low profile video cards. It depends if you want the best rez. I would do dual hdmi and buy converters to change back to dvi or vga ,so you will be ready for the future. But just about any low profile cards will work. This should get you started bit.ly/14rLcjO

They make different series and builds on computers even though the model number is the same. Go to crucial goo.gl/u2fD0V and download the ram scanner for the proper fit.

Will this upgraded video card support dual monitors? Or perhaps 3 monitors?

I think it can support 2 monitors, but if you want to use 3 monitors you can change things on settings to also use the vga output of the motherboard, but that would be a lot of charge for the computer
