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.

Description

Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF — Compact Business Desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 7040 Small Form Factor delivers dependable quad-core performance for everyday business and home office tasks, backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty. Powered by an Intel Core i5-6500, 8GB DDR4 RAM, and a 240GB SSD running Windows 10 Pro, it’s a proven workhorse that fits neatly in any workspace.

Key Benefits

  • Intel Core i5-6500 Quad-Core: 3.20GHz base with 3.60GHz Turbo Boost reliably handles office applications, web browsing, and video conferencing.
  • 8GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM: Smooth multitasking across browser tabs, spreadsheets, email, and communications tools simultaneously.
  • 240GB SSD: Up to 5x faster than traditional hard drives — fast boot times and snappy application loading every time.
  • Triple Display Support: Intel HD Graphics 530 drives up to 3 monitors via 2x DisplayPort 1.2 and 1x HDMI 1.4.
  • 10 USB Ports: 6x USB 3.0 and 4x USB 2.0 — plenty for keyboards, mice, storage, and other peripherals.
  • Windows 10 Pro: Enterprise-grade OS with BitLocker encryption, Remote Desktop, and domain-join capability.

Performance in Use

In a typical office environment, the OptiPlex 7040 SFF handles the daily workload with ease. Whether managing spreadsheets, running video conferences, or juggling multiple browser tabs, the i5-6500 and 8GB DDR4 keep everything moving smoothly.

The 240GB SSD means Windows 10 Pro boots quickly and applications load almost instantly. The unit operates quietly under normal loads — a comfortable companion in open-plan offices or home study spaces.

The compact SFF chassis (29.0 x 9.26 x 29.3 cm) fits on a desk corner or under a monitor. Despite its small footprint, it offers 10 USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet, and an optional PCIe x16 slot for future expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this desktop include a monitor, keyboard, or mouse?

No — the OptiPlex 7040 SFF is sold as a unit only. Monitors, keyboards, and mice are available separately in the Reboot IT store.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?

Yes. The board supports up to 64GB DDR4 across 4 DIMM slots. Storage can be upgraded with a 2.5” SATA SSD or M.2 NVMe drive (if the M.2 slot is fitted in your unit).

Does it support Windows 11?

No — the i5-6500 (6th Gen) does not meet Microsoft’s Windows 11 CPU requirements. This unit ships with Windows 10 Pro, which remains fully functional with extended security updates available.

How many monitors can it support?

Up to 3 monitors simultaneously via 2x DisplayPort 1.2 and 1x HDMI 1.4.

What is the warranty?

All units include a 12-month Reboot IT warranty covering all hardware. Our Melbourne-based support team is available if any issues arise.

How does shipping work?

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

Is the data wiped?

Yes. Every unit undergoes certified secure data wiping as part of our refurbishment process. Windows is reinstalled fresh from official Microsoft media.

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!

Fair tech for price

Fair tech for price, good specs for era, serves the purpose. The black keyboard is an interesting rubber like texture clearly by design to pad the screen and avoid the keyboard touching. Screen is great. Still looking for magic formula to enable computer use in the bright bright sunshine. Keyboard taps are loud for someone who likes silent touch. The perfect PC has to exist, like build a bear.

Works excellently as advertised.

The laptop was sold with a warning about worn keycaps. In fact they had been obviously vandalised (ex school laptops, perhaps?). The keyboard worked fine, and the rest of the laptop too. I'm using it as a file server, so I don't need the keyboard much. So very pleased, and also pleased with reboot-it's service - as always, excellent, and quick responses to any queries.
