  1. I'm looking to build a cyberdeck that will run blender 4.0 and Unreal Engine 5, and I've been looking at mini-PCs.
    Battery power would be nice, but isn't mandatory.
    I want something portable, but powerful enough to run the above.
    (of course, if I'm going to spend $600, I might as well buy a more modern PC with the awful chiclet keys)

    This looks like a good enough solution if I can get a cheaper gfx card that will do.

  2. With Arch Linux being a rolling release, it should work great with such a device. I use RichARCH btw. With it I was able to get Arch Linux up and running simply and quickly with kickstart like automation features.

  3. Next upgrade buy the rtx 3050 6gb low profile edition from msi because it doesn't need a 6pin power connector and runs soley from the pcie slot although its not as powerful as a REAL 3050 8gb it does however offer more performance than the t1000 its as far as i am aware of the most powerful low profile non supplementary power requiring gpu on the market

  4. According to what I found, these desktops should have a B350 chipset from AMD, which seems supports a lot more of CPUs than the simple 1000 series.
    At least, with several mainboards from other manifacturers, compatiblity to 3000 series should be granted, at least from AMD side. This obviously don't guarantee any Dell support from that.
    Also, dell released bios version 1.11.0 at beginning of february.
    My hint should be for a Ryzen 5 3600, because there's no Ryzen 7 3700 released from AMD and Ryzen 7 Pro 3700 looks like unobtaium to me. Seems the most effective 65w TDP CPU without a B450 or B550 chipset up the sleeve.
    Last but not least: SFF PSU from Dell IMVHO are quite really reliable, however don't handle that much well being pushed to the limits of the power delivery. Also, while being not that bad (after the GX series which s…ed more than h3ll, are nice to work with. However… While seeming wasted space, minitower models have way more space for allow airflow, even if they're quite empty. Unfortunately, no enough drive bays for a "decent" NAS setup (4×3,5" drives)

  5. These old office PC makeovers have gotten out of hand. Price wise only a few configs are convenient and thanks to YouTubers spamming this content in my country you can’t find a crappy ass optiplex for less than 200 US$

  6. I would have made the power cables longer and made the power supply external allowing hopefully for a proper GPU providing of course than dell didn't cheap out and actually provided the full 75 watts to the pcie slot per the pcie spec. Sometimes dell does not do this.

  7. A bit ago, I picked up a dell 7050 SFF which came with 8GB of DDR4 RAM. On paper, it can handle an i7-7700, but came with a i5-6500. Bought a 32GB pack, but left the 8GB in. So while the RAM is slowed down a bit, 40GB isn't to sneeze at. Will get a i7 at some point as they are quite cheap. Don't think I'm going to bother with a GPU though. There's just not enough room.

  8. I have an old Optiplex 9020 planning to install a RTX A2000 with a mod cooler that can transfer the GPU to 1-slot half hight. The A2000 should provide more than enough performance and the same trick can also be applied on the RTX 4000 Ada because they have almost the same stock cooler.

  9. 7:33 This behaviour in Windows has always perplexed me. I feel like ive seen both values displayed in various builds over time. My desktop has DDR5-6000 which is displayed in task manager as 6000 Mhz, and my laptop with DDR4x is showing the full value in task manager as well.. Not halved. i have no idea how windows picks and chooses whether it will display the halved rate, or the double rate..

  10. I really like these types of homebuilt "build" shows…well within reach of most home users…and it shows that even older hardware can still be used/upgraded to hold it's on in a homelab/server situation.
    Good on you…just glad you don't whip out "sponsored" over $1000 machines on the regular and try to compare to "home user" level stuff (then claim you represent the home brew croud)…that really grinds my gears
    Keep em coming!!!!

  11. I bought three Dell 7020 sff for about $130 in probably 2019. They have played every game the kids wanted. Upgraded ram, added a gt1030, changed to SSD. I am still on the i7 it came with.

    My one regret is that I didn't get the MT, it would be so nice to be able to fit a better GPU in there. I'm actually kindof stuck on this issue. I need a whole new computer, I guess, times 3.

    Separate thought. You could do a divinci resolve video! I edit a little and I'm not sure wether to use 264 or 265 and at what quality… Sometimes the files are huge. Just a thought, but I haven't found that answer.

  12. You should add WoW to your CPU tests. Its very CPU dependant and lots of people still play it. You could always do a trial version. Getting a steay repeatable run together would be an issue but perhaps just putting a character in a busy area like near a bank/auction house in either stormwind or the horde town (been years since I played). Lots of motion to hurt the CPU.

  13. I got the OptiPlex SFF 5060 that had an i5-8500 CPU. Upgraded it with 16GB RAM, 512GB M.2 SSD, added another 4TB SATA SSD for PLEX, a WIFI 6 card and a full dual slot dual fan GTX 1050 Ti Graphic card by using a PCIE raiser and removing the HDD holder mechanics. Its working pretty well for my home server and remote access needs.

  14. i've been using 3 dell optiplex 7060s as my primary proxmox HA cluster for over a year which i salvaged from my IT job. i upgraded the ram for each node to 64gb for a total of 192gb and installed 1tb of ssd for each which gave me 3tb of ceph pool storage. it's been stable and very reliable for me so far and am very happy with it

  15. Why not change memory settings in Ryzen Master? If available it reboot, saves into BIOS without needing BIOS access.
    Nvrmind, got to that part of the video now 😀

  16. When you were testing on Proxmox, did you try the integrated ACS override patch to split up IOMMU groups? I’ve never liked individual drive pass-through, usually results in more overhead and you have to depend on SMART monitoring within Proxmox instead of Truenas.

  17. 4:59 Minor nitpick, the T1000 is Turing architecture, thus not RTX. It's roughly similar to a GTX 1650, maybe clocked lower, though. Other than that, it's probably the best card you can slot into this little system, and that's terrible because it's already nearly 3 years old, still super expensive for what it is, and doesn't have a viable replacement in the same form factor. Nvidia apparently is content to let this market segment ROT. A handful of third-party AIB makers have catered to it, such as SRhonyra, who made a line of cards that fit, but they're 1050's and 1650's. I have a GTX 1050 4GB (!) made by them that I got on a fire sale from Amazon for just under $100 shipped. It's cute, blue, and a nice little upgrade over my GT 1030, but nothing spectacular.

    7:34 It says 1067 MHz. Windows Task Manager erroneously reports MHz instead of MT/s. My older Optiplex (3020) takes DDR3 and reports 1600 MHz, but it means 1600 MT/s, it's actually 800 MHz according to CPU-Z. No, dude, that shit was running at 533MHz for some stupid reason. But the tests don't bear that out, so I'm confused? What is it saying now, after you got it running at 2933?
