Dell OptiPlex 3040 SFF Business Desktop

This small form factor desktop ships new with Windows 10 Pro pre-installed. It uses an Intel Core i5-6500 processor running at 3.2 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo across four cores. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 drives up to two displays via HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.2. The 8 GB of DDR3 1600 memory and a 250 GB 7.2K SATA drive handle everyday office workloads.

Compatibility Check Before Ordering

Verify that your peripherals match the available ports: four USB 3.0, four USB 2.0, one RJ-45, one serial (optional), two PS/2 (optional), one universal audio jack, one line-out, and one VGA (optional). The half-height PCIe x16 and PCIe x1 slots accept only low-profile expansion cards. The 180 W power supply limits additional components, and the chassis provides one 3.5" bay plus one 2.25" slimline bay for storage upgrades.

Build Integration Notes

The compact 11.5 x 3.6 x 11.4 inch chassis fits tight desk spaces while leaving two DIMM slots open for up to 16 GB total DDR3 memory. Dual-display support frees desk real estate without a discrete graphics card. A DVD-RW drive is included for legacy media. Power cable is supplied; mouse, keyboard and video cables are not. Expansion is restricted to half-height cards and the 180 W budget.
