Not a bad price for a cute little SFF refurb with a 3.2Ghz (base) i5 Haswell quad-core. Only a HDD and 4GB of RAM, needs some upgrades, but it comes with WIndows 10.
Note: REFURB, GRADE 'B'.
Great for a Mom/Grandma/Kids PC, and could probably stick in a low-profile GTX 1050 / 1050 3GB / 1050 ti, too, if you can still find one.
Edit: Was going to pick one of these up, as I have a GTX 1050 3GB LP card BNIB waiting for a rig, but then I went looking on ebay to check prices, and found a "Used" Optiplex 9020, in clean shape, for $115 FS. No OS installed, no Win10 COA, but it did claim to have a Win7 COA, which should be enough to activate Win10 on it. It wasn't from a volume seller, it was a one-off. Hopefully I don't get burned. But at least from the photos, unlike the Optiplex 3020, which you will also find with this Haswell i5 CPU, and has a proprietary 8-pin mobo power connector, the Optiplex 9020, at least at first glance, appeared to have a 24-pin ATX connection (not sure if pinout is proprietary at this point), 4 SATA ports, 4 DDR3 DIMM slots, and a PCI-E x16.
Edit: I may have already gotten burned. They showed pics of a Dell with a 24-pin mobo power connector, but this article seems to show the Optiplex 9020 with the same proprietary 8-pin mobo connector that the Optiplex 3020 has.

I guess they put up wrong pictures on ebay.
What a PITA. (I do have the adapter wiring harness, I refurbed a 3020 recently into a gaming rig, and didn't use the harness to replace the PSU, instead, I used a video card that didn't need supplemental power.)
