Ready-to-use desktop bundle

The Dell OptiPlex 3040 tower arrives with a 24 inch LED monitor, wired keyboard, mouse and Wi-Fi adapter so you can start working immediately. An Intel Core i5-6500 quad-core processor runs at 3.20 GHz base and up to 3.60 GHz turbo. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed on the 256 GB SSD with 8 GB of system memory.

Simple plug-and-play setup

Connect the monitor via HDMI or DisplayPort, attach the keyboard and mouse to the front USB ports, and plug in the Ethernet cable or use the included Wi-Fi adapter. The tower uses a proprietary motherboard layout, so internal upgrades are limited to standard 2.5 inch drives and low-profile expansion cards.

Check your workspace and peripherals

Verify you have desk space for a full-size tower and a 24 inch screen. The system provides four front USB ports, one front audio jack and a single RJ45 port for wired networking. If you need additional video outputs, extra USB ports or a discrete graphics card, this configuration will not support them.
