Frequently asked questions

What does the warranty cover?

Our warranty covers all hardware faults, but please note it doesn’t cover accidental damage or software issues. However, we’re here to help with technical support for those matters!

What is a refurbished device?

A refurbished device is a pre-owned item that has been restored to meet high-quality standards. At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.

Unlike used items, which lack guarantees and rely solely on the seller's word regarding condition, refurbished devices come with assurance of quality and reliability.

Dell OptiPlex 3040 SFF — Intel Core i5-6500 Desktop PC

The Dell OptiPlex 3040 SFF pairs Intel Core i5-6500 (6th Gen, 4-core / 4-thread, 3.2 GHz, 6MB cache) with 8GB DDR3L of RAM and a 500GB hard drive in a compact Small Form Factor chassis. Running Windows 10 Pro and backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty, it is a straightforward, dependable desktop for everyday business use.

Key Benefits

  • Quad-core Intel Core i5-6500: Four cores at 3.2 GHz cover email, documents, spreadsheets, and general browsing without strain.
  • 500GB hard drive: Generous local capacity for document archives, scanned records, and file storage.
  • Windows 10 Pro: BitLocker, Group Policy, and Remote Desktop are all included for managed environments.
  • Built-in optical drive: A DVD+/-RW drive is fitted for reading and writing discs — still useful for archive media.
  • Compact SFF chassis: A small footprint that tucks neatly onto a desk or into a cabinet.
  • Wired Gigabit networking: Integrated Gigabit Ethernet for a stable connection at a fixed desk.

Performance in Use

The OptiPlex 3040 SFF is an entry-level office machine that covers the basics reliably. The quad-core i5-6500 is comfortable with email, word processing, spreadsheets, and browser-based systems. For a second desk, a workshop PC, a stocktake terminal, or a home-office machine on a tight budget, it is a practical, low-cost option.

Storage is a 500GB 7200rpm hard drive rather than an SSD, so boot and application-launch times are noticeably slower than a solid-state machine. The trade-off is capacity — half a terabyte of local space for archives and scanned records. If day-to-day responsiveness matters more than capacity, fitting an SSD is a cheap and worthwhile upgrade, and the chassis makes it straightforward.

This is a Windows 10 machine. The 6th Gen Core i5 sits below Microsoft's official Windows 11 processor requirement, so plan around Windows 10. Integrated Gigabit Ethernet keeps the machine on a stable wired connection — ideal for domain-joined desks, point-of-sale counters, and reception PCs. No wireless card is fitted, so a wired network point is required, or a USB WiFi adapter added separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this run Windows 11?

No. The 6th Gen Core i5-6500 falls below Microsoft's official Windows 11 processor requirement, so this unit ships with Windows 10 Pro.

Does it have an SSD?

No — this unit ships with a 500GB 7200rpm hard drive. An SSD can be fitted as an upgrade and makes a substantial difference to responsiveness.

Does it have WiFi?

No. This unit has integrated Gigabit Ethernet only and no wireless card is fitted. A USB WiFi adapter can be added separately if you need wireless.

Is the RAM upgradeable?

Yes. The OptiPlex 3040 SFF uses DDR3L memory across two DIMM slots and ships with 8GB fitted.

What is the difference between the Excellent and Good grades?

Excellent units carry minimal marks. Good units show light wear on the chassis. Both are fully tested and every port and connector is functional.

Does this include a monitor, keyboard, or mouse?

No — the listing covers the desktop unit and power cord only.

What warranty is included?

A 12-month warranty from Reboot IT covering parts and labour for manufacturing faults.

How does shipping work?

Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.

All-in-one Solution for Home Office

I was looking for an in-expensive all-in-one solution for my home office to replace my existing desktop and monitor. I found this EliteOne 800 on reboot IT for under $200. I wasn't sure what to expect. It arrived within two days!!!! I upgraded the RAM, replaced the HDD and installed Windows 11. This is unbeatable value and was the cheapest price online. Coupled with a 3-month warranty, Reboot IT are by far the best online refurbished retailer I have used. Awesome!
