Business Mini Tower for Office Tasks

The Dell OptiPlex 990 MT is a business desktop built around an Intel Core i5-2500 processor running at 3.3 GHz with 16 GB of DDR3 memory. It includes a 1000 GB SSD and ships with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit installed. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 drives the video outputs. This configuration suits general office productivity and legacy application support.

Check Expansion Slots and Power Budget

The chassis provides one full-height PCIe x16 slot, a second full-height PCIe x16 slot wired x4, one full-height PCIe x1 slot and one full-height PCI slot. Ten external USB 2.0 ports and one internal USB 2.0 header are available for peripherals. A standard 265 W power supply unit is fitted, so any added expansion cards must stay within that power envelope. Verify that your intended add-in cards physically fit the full-height form factor.

Integrated Graphics and Modest Power Draw

Integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 handles display output through VGA and DisplayPort without a discrete graphics card. The 265 W PSU powers the entire system, including the quad-core processor, memory, SSD and optical drive. With no dedicated GPU, heat output and acoustic noise remain low during typical desktop workloads. The DVD-R/RW drive adds minimal thermal load when idle.

Questions about this item

Does the OptiPlex 990 MT include a monitor, keyboard and mouse, or do I need to buy them separately?

The unit is a desktop tower only; no screen, keyboard or mouse is included, so you will need to provide your own display and input devices.

Which memory upgrade path does the 16 GB DDR3 configuration leave open?

The board has four DIMM slots supporting dual-channel 1333 MHz DDR3 up to 16 GB total, so the installed 16 GB already fills the maximum capacity.

What does the 3.3 GHz Core i5-2500 with Intel HD Graphics 2000 deliver for everyday office work?

The quad-core 3.3 GHz processor and integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 handle typical business applications, web browsing and video playback smoothly within the 265 W power envelope.
