Business desktop for office workloads

The Dell OptiPlex 990 is a desktop computer built around an Intel Quad-Core i5 processor and 8GB of DDR3 memory. It ships with a 1000GB hard drive, a DVDRW optical drive and Windows 10 Pro 64-bit pre-installed. A USB Wi-Fi adapter, keyboard and mouse are included in the box.

Suited for general productivity and legacy software

This system suits users who need a ready-to-run Windows 10 machine for document handling, web browsing and older business applications. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 and the 10/100/1000 Ethernet port cover basic display and wired networking needs. Buyers who need more storage capacity, faster memory technology or a discrete graphics card should look at other configurations.

1000GB hard drive capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 1000GB mechanical hard drive. It determines how much local data the machine can hold before an additional drive or external storage becomes necessary.

Questions about this item

How loud and warm does the OptiPlex 990 get when the Intel Quad-Core i5 runs at Turbo Boost speeds all day?

The chassis uses active Power Factor Correction and standard Dell thermal design for the Intel Q67 Express chipset; typical office workloads keep fan noise low and case temperatures within normal desktop limits.

Which peripherals must I already own to start working, since the listing mentions a keyboard and mouse are included?

A monitor with VGA or DisplayPort input is required; the Intel HD Graphics 2000 Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0 drives the video output, and the bundled USB 2.0 keyboard and mouse handle input.

Will my older PCI add-in cards and parallel-port devices work inside this OptiPlex 990?

Yes, the motherboard provides legacy PCI slots and a parallel port alongside PCI Express x16 and serial ports, so older expansion cards and parallel peripherals remain compatible.
