I bought one of those for my mom, and i think it will outlast us all.
It's scary silent.

I bought an optiplex 720 used on eBay a few years back and I honestly don't really have complaints with how it ran. Obviously the weird motherboard form factor which fucks upgradability is pretty retarded but it works and works pretty nicely

Appropriated a think center m93p from an old employer.

Gave it to brother as a 1080p gaming machine. Ran dead silent with great temps.

They have a PCI-E slot so you could install a cheap low-power GPU like a GTX 750 and use it for a 2000s gaming machine. It would have PS3/360 level performance.
You could also use it for playing emulated games via RetroArch. The GPU power would be enough to run shaders so games would look quite good.
With the quiet fan and simple looking design it would look pretty good in a budget emulation set-up.

Since it is supposed to be a very quiet PC you could replace the HDD with a SSD and use for your home cinema machine. Or turn it into a local server.

It would be better than that. Same graphics but much better frame rate.

I have a 9800gt and it absolutely demolishes the 360/PS3.
The GTX 750 probably put it closer to the Xbone.

>990 with a 1050ti
exactly what i have as my back up rig that i take to parties
Anthony Cook
nice. i was thinking about shilling for a newer one and shoving a 1080 in it but the 990 with a 1050ti works great.

Years and years ago, when I was working in the military, I loved to buy Micron PCs. They were always reliable, and used generic internal connectors for everything.
