Ultra-Small Form Factor desktop for everyday work

The DELL OptiPlex 990 USFF packs a 2nd Generation Intel Quad-Core i5 processor running at 2.9 to 3.30 GHz, 4 GB of DDR3 memory and a 500 GB SATA hard drive into a compact chassis. Windows 10 Professional 64-bit is pre-installed with a Certificate of Authenticity. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 and Gigabit Ethernet handle display and wired networking out of the box.

Check monitor, memory slots

No monitor, speakers or display cable are included, so you must supply your own. The system uses 240-pin DDR3 DIMM slots; verify how many are free if you plan to add memory. The 3.5-inch SATA drive bay holds the provided hard drive; confirm physical space and SATA power connectors if you intend to install additional storage. A USB Wi-Fi adapter provides wireless connectivity.

Included USB keyboard.

A wired USB keyboard and mouse are bundled so you can start working immediately after adding a display. The supplied USB Wi-Fi adapter adds wireless networking without occupying an internal slot. The 16X DVD±RW drive reads and writes optical media. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is ready to use, eliminating the need for a separate operating-system purchase or installation.
