Nice video! In my experience with the Optiplex micros, I've found that the lower end models have cheaper VRM, and fewer IO options. I wouldn't be surprised to see HP doing the same.
Great Price on that pickup. Love the different models you find, and feature on here. I've been looking at HP thin clients that are interesting, the thicker ones actually have an internal riser, and PCI-E slot. That would be a neat series if you run out of DMs Material :) I'm interested in the 705 series of EliteDesks as well. They seem to be excellent emulation machines with the Vega Graphics.
I was tempted by those thin clients too. Every review of that add on GPU for the 705 has not been too glowing. I did have one for the 800 G4 but I couldn't get it to work.
@@handmedowntech I wonder if it is the refurb people who pull the heatsink to repaste. or the ones who sell the barebones take them out and forget to put them back.
Crazy. I was surprised that part surfer still had it. I first thought $13 was high on eBay and then saw it other places for $60. On place had it for $9 but wanted $10 to ship it.
Just picked up one of these. Love what it can do. Ran Windows 11 just fine, just to test. Runs 10 Pro fine. It's going to be a great office PC.
They are great - you're getting a $1000 PC for peanuts and it still runs perfect.

Thank you. I'm going to keep my eye out to see if I find any 400s out in the wild, actually in use.

@@handmedowntech oh didn't think of the dedicated GPU, I was interested in the AMD APUs.
I see. I'm not as versed in AMD. The APU is what others call the iGPU?
@@handmedowntech Correct.
That air duct might be a good candidate for some 3D printer project.
I like it.
Such is the world of enterprise hardware.
My EliteDesk 800 G3 65W has that duct at the back of the heatsink.
I feel like the only guy who didn't get the memo. None of mine have it.

Well done sir. Are you on X or IG by chance?
Yes - on IG - but haven't uploaded anything yet. I suppose the shorts might be of interest :)
Do you have Dell optiplex micros?
I've been debating whether to expand into the Dell world vs specialize in HP. Most likely I'd look into something akin to the EliteDesk 800 G3 Mini.
test power consumption with watt meter please. i have this one in home
Check out near the end of the video for wattage info
@@handmedowntechis not with watt meter
I only have the killawatt and that's what I used with the ProDesk 400. At heavy load it is 44 and light load is 10. Sleep is 1.1
@@handmedowntech are you serious this can reach 44w?
Correct. I did a heavy load for 5 minutes and it stayed pretty steady at 44w. That is 100% CPU.
una duda..cuantas tienes en tu poder
Solo tengo uno de los ProDesk 400 G3 mini
60$ for a little piece of plastic? this is a scam!
