Seriously if you want 4 k you can't expect a sixty quid PC to offer it!! Bargain internet and home office setup. Cheaper than our HP staff shop :sunglasses:

Chuck a quad port NIC in this and you have a great little pfSense box.

Cold as a nun's crotch.

If you shop around you can get a much more modern i3 for a little more. Or spend 20-30 quid on a slighly slower core2duo machine from ebay.

This is sensible recycling - we (as a society) should do this wherever we can.
Heat added.

I bought a core2duo base unit from a recyling company on ebay for £21 (that was a hp and turned out the PCI-Express port was not for PCI-Express cards wth) Got a dell for under £30 that I could stick any card in and stuck a quad cord 6600 cpu. not bad for the kids room.

The model with 4K output is only £30 delivered.

It'll handle transcoding as a Plex server with that score.

we had HP Pro 6000 and 8000's at work (all retired now, this may of even been our stock!), they use old Core2Duos, would of been before the Core I days, these are 6+ year old machines

only 3 available

so that makes 2300 on cpu benchmark. my i5 gets around 5900. i3s are around 3000? so not too bad.

if a low profile gtx 750ti fits in this case it would be an awesome set up. so need to check that out but the back of the case looked fine. i am sure I have a small form factor pc.

All the companies I've worked for use tech waste companies to dispose of their end of life IT kit. These companies get the kit for free and are supposed to recondition them and pass them on to charitable organisations but I see so many end up on Ebay or Gumtree.

Did some detective work, this appears to be the CPU found in this little beasty.

But you aren't paying £70 for it. You paid a lot more than that with the provision you had to make a cashback claim to get the price at the end. It's never fully guaranteed to get the cashback, it's unlikely but not unheard of to be declined. This is a guaranteed price, you pay nothing more than what's advertised.

As to the deal, I'm not really feeling it considering that you can get more recent hardware for similar money without the warranty,. this machine is a minimum of 6-7years old and likely has spent it's life running a 9-5 lifestyle. I'd be less than worried about a warranty as a result as it's much less likely to die than a new machine.

processor not explicitly mentioned so will have to google around. dual core 3.16. to be fair have seen i3s for around. but this is an amazing price point!

We're replacing 7000 of these next year so expect to see them even cheaper soon!

processor not explicitly mentioned. will need to google. dual core 3.16mhz for hp8000. i hage seen i3s for around 100 to 120 I think but this is a remarkable.price point. need to check if can fit gtx in but think so.... then 160 quid is awesome spec!

This is a good point. It does not in fact support 4K which is a shame. I do feel that it may be hard to find a PC at such a price that does. The resolution of 2048 x 1536 is quite standard, if not about standard, and would serve many needs bar of course 4K output.

wow. omg. seems amazing for my son. if can get a gtx 750ti in here could steam stream everything to a laptop too. i use an i5 viglen with gtx 750ti. need to check out the processor. probably similar to my dual core m11x ie really slow

According to http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01960471, max output resolution is 2048 x 1536 @60Hz through the DisplayPort. If it could output 4k resolution I would have been interested.
