I like the Samsung EVOs ... Just a gut thing. A 1TB is $60. I've been running these for 7 or 8 years. I really like them. I'd like to hear what others have to say.

Looks like they are discounted down to $51.00

SSD is a little small considering how much of it the O/S and Office

Mike,

I assume these are as-is/where-is?

I think, and this is just my opinion, the best way to optimize
these

types of options is to buy in quantity and recycle.

Check your local Linux User's Group for used equipment.  I
suspect
you
will have better success.

* Brand: Dell Optiplex 7040

What are the w23 and 24s?
I probably should pop new power supplies in them and ssds and
all
will be good.
the processor is much faster than the 1.10 ghz celron they
have
in
their present computers.
