Dell optiplex USFF for mesa Ethernet??

Ha, just wanted to point out that dell - HP thing, and got beaten to it!
Time for a nap!
Regards and have a nice one, all.

We have used a lot of the dells and most work great. I think the 780 is good - avoid the 790 though.

I used exclusively dell or IBM ( lenovo now ) for machines, stopped using lenovo's ( still use laptops ) , hated HP for a long time as they had some 8 years of very slow " enterprise" computers and got lots of gray hair due to them, lately HP got much better than dell.
All this I related to enterprise series, no home or businnes.
On PCW's advice searched for a HP 8200 or 8300 but only found a 8000 with some blown capacitors, changed them, works very nicely with Linux Mint 19.1 on an SSD. I like the form factor and the use of power adapter as if I need it to run on batteries I just wire a Bosch 18V one, also have a new HP 32" monitor that I can run on batteries ! And last week I made two battery packs from old laptop batteries, one at over 200Wh and the other at 580Wh, so am ready for the apocalypse !
There is a new dell SFF that I tested last November that had very low latency with stretch and Preempt-RT, it is driving a Mesa 7i76E since then and a 2.5X1.5 meter router. I will check for the model and report back, if anyone is interested. I know for sure it had an i7 and a very fast ADATA SSD that did 560MB/s writes.

8300 is the new one, 8000 is a core2duo .
