Compact business desktop

The DELL OptiPlex 3040 is a Micro Tower system built for everyday office workloads. It runs on an Intel Core i5-6500T quad-core processor at 2.50GHz with 6 MB L3 cache. The unit ships with 8 GB of DDR3 memory and a 256 GB solid-state drive. Windows 10 Pro comes pre-installed and the chassis includes integrated Intel graphics, Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11AC wireless.

Office teams and home workers

This configuration suits users who need a quiet, space-efficient PC for document editing, email and web-based applications. The low-power processor and small footprint fit shared desks or reception areas. Buyers who want more storage capacity or discrete graphics performance should look at other models. The 180 W power supply limits expansion options for high-draw add-in cards.

256 GB SSD boot drive

The solid-state drive provides fast start-up and application loading compared with traditional hard drives. Its 256 GB capacity holds the operating system and a typical business software suite with room for active project files. Users storing large media libraries or databases will need additional external or network storage.

Questions about this item

How loud is the fan on this 180W micro tower when it runs all day?

The 180W power supply and micro-tower chassis are built for the low-power Intel Core i5-6500T processor, so the fan typically runs quietly during extended office workloads.

Which display cable do I need to connect a monitor I already own?

The desktop provides one HDMI output, so you need an HDMI cable or an HDMI-to-DisplayPort adapter for your existing screen.

Will my older USB 2.0 keyboard and mouse work with the front ports on this OptiPlex 3040?

Yes, the system includes four USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0 ports, all of which accept standard USB 2.0 peripherals without any driver setup.
