Hi

I'm in the market for a second hand well loved (and dusted) i5-11500 or i5-12500 small form factor or smaller PC. Ideally with 16GB RAM and at least a 256GB SSD and a spare NVME M2 slot. 

Let me know if you've got something you want to move. I won't need the Windows licence. Please keep.

cheers

 

Tim

I have an Optiplex 7070 Micro with an i5-9500T; bit older than what you want but might do the trick?

 

 

 

Has both a 2.5" and M.2 SSD slot and 2x DDR4 SODIMM slots.

 

1x8GB of RAM in it currently and I can find some suitable SSD(s). 

 

HDMI 2.0 port and 2x displayports. 

 

No WLAN card but you could add one or use USB.

 

Previously been modded to be fanless with a brick of a copper heatsink (performs decently if mounted vertically) but the stock fan and heatsink can be trivially reinstalled. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

$250 plus $70 for a Seagate Q1 960GB 2.5" SSD, leaving the M.2 slot free?

 

Including shipping and PSU.

Thanks for the option but it's not what I'm after.
