OptiPlex 3050 micro

I have an old OptiPlex 3050 micro that I have cleaned up to make it useful again. The machine is Skylake but Windows 1124H2 likes it good enough. I have an 13-6100 in it but I might spend $20 on an i4 CPU such as the i5-7500T or something in  that realm. The B250 logic seems good too.

  • i3-6100
  • 4GB DDR4
  • B250
  • 200GB hard disk
  • 4x USB 3.0
  • 2x USB 2.0
  • WiFi
  • Ethernet

The M.2 slot is nice as I have a WD Green SN350 2TB stuffed in the machine along with 32GB RAM. 

The OEM WiFi is workable but I might upgrade it. I speculate the AX210 is about as good as the machine can handle. Cheap USB AX1000 WiFi antennas as easy to use as well

The SATA port is handy to place a secondary SSD for more storage. I have a 2TB WD green SATA SSD I can stuff in the machine.

I can use remote desktop on the machine to make useful as a media machine or file server.
