This seems to be missing the 3080 part.
?? Please explain.
Are you referring to a GeForce RTX 3080 when it’s integrated GPU?
Yup
it also seems to have an extra “0” on the price. crap dell MB, crap dell PSU, crap no xmp RAM. I bought one of these from a closing business(which is where these come form too I’m sure) a month ago with same specs for $40, just for the mediocre CPU.
Yeah tbis seems like e waste
High specs for all around (not gaming) use and you’re paying a premium for a more solidly built and easier to maintain business grade Optiplex model. Since businesses tend to deploy the small form factor desktop, this is a lower volume model.
The seller, CNB is a reputable Microsoft certified refurbisher.
The specs appear to be pumped up over typical to justify the $500 price. Most all around users who want a durable desktop might do well to search out a lower spec (16GB RAM, 512GB storage, perhaps i5 cpu) and be just as happy with the real world performance. And save a couple hundred $.
I believe this is a 2020 model, likely coming off lease and it should provide a solid 6 or more years of additional use… assuming Microsoft does not repeat its ungreen landfill filling obsoleting of otherwise perfectly good hardware as it is doing with Windows 11. (It did not do the same early obsolescence PC sales pumping shilling out to HP, DELL, and Lenovo with the Windows 10 launch.)
Note your older, still perfectly usable windows machine is about to be obsoleted when Microsoft ends support for Windows 10 less than a year from now. This Woot deal runs Windows 11.
While we’ll keep a Windows (11) machine around, we’re finally moving over to MacOS and the seamless integration across our iPhones and iPads has been very nice. Yes, we realize Apple obsoletes hardware, but Microsoft just gave up a big advantage it held over Apple. Good riddance.
These are literally worth the CPU and SSD that’s in them. These are not upgradable, they are not maintainable. Going to have cheap custom motherboard that won’t even take an 11th gen because dell won’t provide bios update. Going to have cheap custom PSU that probably won’t drive even a low end GPU. Like I said when businesses sell these off it’s for like 1/4 - 1/10 this price. The only reason businesses buy these and overpay for them is because they get Dell’s premiere warranty/service plan which basically means you call them they send out another one(because they are that cheap). Businesses don’t “maintain” these they just swap them and when the warranty is up they sell them for nothing.
Don’t buy into the “Dell is better” hype. They are just one of like 3 companies that can sell your company 100 of these in one order and deliver next week. They are the AliExpress of the US PC market. Guaranteed whoever is selling these is making a 500% margin.
1/10th the price? You know where you can buy these for $49? That is pretty cool, perhaps you can help out the community with some linkage.
This is an optiplex model 3080, which does not mean that there is a 3080 graphics card. Please read thoroughly. Great computers with tons of power for the price!
Check your local electronics recyler
I manage about 400 of these (or similar Dell units). I’ve never had Dell send me a new one - they either overnight the part for me to install or they send a tech from four hours away.
Yes just go to your local ewaste shop. Mine had about 300 actually good 3rd party versions of these with real motherboards, real PSUs(flex) and they were selling them for $35/each. I bought a dozen. I also bought a pair of these exact PCs on FBM for $45. Pulled the RAM, Pulled the CPU/SSD and tossed the rest.
