Dell Optiplex GX110: Ebay goldmine

Managed to get one of these out of a church's office for free. It hadn't been powered on in 18 years but everything was flawless. It had XP and I have dual booted Win98 for some legacy software. I was genuinely amazed by the design of the case and how easy it was to get in. The slide out of the expansion port blew my mind. Added a period-appropriate GPU and sound card and it's a great machine. If you're wanting something for late 90s/early 2000s gaming this is perfect.

These were the workhorse PCs in the early and mid 2000s

Me and my family have this desktop computer at home.

They're great machines. I picked one up in 2001-2002 when they were first going off-lease. I got mine off eBay at the local eco-recycler for $50. No Shipping! Because it was local! I ran Windows 2000 until around 2005, when XP service pack 2 had convinced me of it's effectiveness. I retired it in about 2007, mainly due to the 512mb memory maximum and the lack of an AGP slot. A 1ghz Coppermine PIII was a cheap upgrade back in the day and made a heck of a lot of a difference over the 600mhz chip I had in mine. I still have it, it's one of my "tweener" machines that I use for moving stuff between different generations of machines. It runs Dos 6.22/WFW3.11, Windows 98 and God help me... OS/2 Warp 3. There IS a Tualatin Powerleap upgrade to allow you to use the later PIII/Celeron server chips with higher clock speed and more cache. This requires you to revert to the A05 bios. There's also a Pin-mod you can do to allow you to use the bare chi, that's still available from a seller in South Korea. Neat Machines, well built. I'm keeping mine!

I just picked up a broken Dell Optiplex 400mh P2 in a G1 tower case. Planning to transplant my old Dell Desktop GX115 motherboard with a P3 933mhz into this case. Hopefully create an ultimate 2000 era sleeper PC. 😁 Only downside is onboard graphics, which I'm still puzzling over what to do with (on a smallish budget). 😕

I used a Dell optiplex GX1 from 2003 to 2007. They were great Windows XP machines.

okay mr regular car reviews.

I have one of these. Got it for free about three weeks ago, and I've decked it out since. I love working on the case. it's fantastic compared to other "mini towers" from the day. Had an HP Pavilion from 2000 and it was a piece of shit to work on. I have not had this work with more then 512 megs of RAM, but I haven't tried. I'm a little dry on PC100 these days. For gaming, mine has an ATI Rage AIW Pro and a SoundBlaster Live, and those run period correct games fantastically. I will admit it weighs like a thousand pounds compared to the Compaq I also got.

I have a desktop version p3. Got it for free back in 2005. Now after more than 12 years i powered it up again. Damn thing still works. My plan with it i to use it as a win98 machine because i want to have the dos option to use those old dos programs again. My machine has sound build in. Also i keep it. Gonna make it run again and restore it. Btw... also using my period correct compaq keyboard without windows key.

What is one of these worth now ? I have one with a cd drive and a cd rewritable drive as well as the floppy . Still works as it should in fact I just hooked it all and actually played a couple games !

I have one those works good and its older brother a gx1. both were free

Just got one of these unopened for free with an unopened marching crt monitor

Do you know how to remove the right panel? Trying to but can't figure it out.

Hello. I have a Dell Optiplex GX110 with 1.0 ghz processor but it wont boot up.Is this machine worth anything ?
