    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.

      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. I think it was 4th or 5th gen Dell started using proprietary connectors.

    A 3010, because it has only two RAM slots on the mobo, the 70XX and the 90XX both have four. Same goes for the amount of USB ports on the front panel.

    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

      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.

      If that i5 is what stays, yeah 1050 Ti level would be fine. I have a i5-3570K here paired with a 1060 and that das alright, so I guess I have some experience on that level of performance.

    Dawd,
    Thanks for the video. I always enjoy your content. However, ...
    I think calling it a scam computer does it a disservice. It looks, to me, to be a responsibly upcycled PC. Contrary to your sarcasm, used PC upcycling is still a relevant thing. There really is no need for a student to struggle with the horribly cheep Chromebooks that schools loan out. Not when a used PC can and will do the job better at a very reasonable price. E waste aside, it is the perfect PC for a fourteen - sixteen year old. It will do the task, play some game and look kool enough for them to feel good owning it.
    love the review.

    and own your dignity like you can afford to share it.

      You can get a new system for near that cost, minus a graphics card. The cost of the upcycled PC is what is a little ridiculous. The processor was released 9 years ago. I have some similar HP systems (no RGB, and no GT 1030, or graphics card) and 4th gen i5 that I'd let go for $120. I don't have that sweet ewaste to go with it though.

    @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.

    Until upgrading this December, I used a Dell Optiplex 7010 SFF with a GT 1030 in it (but the good one, GDDR5). I would never sell it as a gaming PC, but I made my way through D2R and Borderlands 3 with it. You can put a good +600 clock speed on the memory and +200 on the processor in that card and will never see issues. It's now our shipping computer at work. Except I paid the appropriate price for it, which at the time in 2020 was $50 USD on eBay. (GT 1030 not included). 550 CAD is insanity.

    It’s a 3010/7010/9010 model. The x020 models (4th gen) were when they went (more) proprietary. Still uses proprietary front panel connections. Not the easiest thing to swap a normal board into that and use the front panel.
    Also, the last dell to support XP. Throw a 900 series card in it and you’ve got a retro XP machine that also runs Win10 just fine.
