Shopee: Komputer Dell Optiplex 9020

Ini ulasan untuk komputer Dell Optiplex 9020 yang saya beli pada 23 Oktober 2020.

Akhirnya ada PC?

Saya beli komputer peribadi (PC) setelah menyimpan bajet sekitar enam (6) bulan dengan mengambil upah dan membuat tugasan kecil serta menerima derma untuk sumbangan saya kepada aktiviti berkaitan perisian bersumber terbuka. PC tersebut mempunyai diskaun semasa saya beli, jadi saya hanya bayar RM568.00 untuk PC tersebut, kemudian kos penghantaran pula dikenakan RM7.21 menerusi J&T Express, iaitu kurier paling diyakini untuk kawasan saya (yang teruknya di kawasan ini ialah PosLaju).

Ambil perhatian bahawa “KUL VIP” di situ menandakan ianya dihantar oleh orang yang diupah dengan kontrak secara peribadi oleh pihak J&T di Kuala Lumpur untuk membuat penghantaran bagi pihak mereka, kerana jumlah bungkusan meningkat mendadak ketika wabak ini kerana orang ramai bertukar kepada pembelian dalam talian.

Tanggapan Pertama

PC tersebut sebenarnya bersih semasa saya menerimanya, bermakna ianya memang komputer diperbaharui (refurbished) yang SEBENAR, bukan seperti sesetengah penjual yang kata mereka jual komputer diperbaharui tetapi langsung tidak membersihkannya. Kalau ada orang yang tidak tahu, barangan yang diperbaharui mestilah bersih seperti baharu bukan seperti barangan terpakai lain yang biasa.

Jenis yang sampai sama seperti apa yang saya pilih semasa memesan, pemprosesan i5 generasi keempat, ingatan RAM berkapasiti 8GB, pemacu HDD berkapasiti 500GB. Saya pilih pemacu HDD kerana saya sudah pun mempunyai pemacu SSD daripada komputer riba (laptop) yang telah mati yang boleh digunakan semula, jadi pemacu HDD tersebut ditukar menjadi ruangan simpanan tambahan. Ingatan RAM dipilih berkapasiti 8GB kerana itu jumlah ingatan RAM paling rendah yang saya rasa selesa untuk gunakan, bercakap dari pengalaman kerana laptop saya yang dah mati dahulunya didatangkan dengan ingatan RAM berkapasiti 4GB dan saya menatarnya ke kapasiti 8GB selepas tiga tahun kerana saya tidak tahan penggunaan ingatan RAM seringkali mencapai tahap maksimum. Laptop tersebut telah mati pada Januari 2020 selepas enam (6) tahun berjasa dan sebab itu saya menyimpan bajet untuk membeli PC ini. PC ini berfungsi dengan sangat baik untuk apa yang saya lakukan!

Lihat perinciannya

Keadaan bungkusan semasa saya mula-mula terimanya:

Keadaan kotak selepas membuka plastiknya:

Setelah membuka kotaknya:

Selepas membawa keluar balutan gelembung di bahagian atas:

Sekarang mari lihat PC yang sebenar:

Saya terus menguji untuk pastikan semuanya berfungsi, kemudian saya buka perumah untuk lihat di dalamnya:

Sebab saya nak tengok bahagian bawahnya, saya juga keluarkan pemacu DVD dan pemacu HDD:

Dari sini saya dapat lihat adanya empat (4) slot ingatan RAM, dua (2) daripadanya diisi dengan dua (2) keping kayu ingatan DDR3 berkapasiti 4GB. Saya juga nampak ada sebuah port SATA yang kosong:

Dan kemudiannya kita nampak slot pengembangan, satunya slot PCIE x4 manakala yang lainnya slot PCIE x16:

Saya sedang menyimpan lebih banyak duit untuk membeli kad wayarles untuk diletakkan di slot PCIE x4 tersebut dan juga kad grafik khusus berprofil rendah untuk diletakkan di slot PCIE x16 tersebut.

Saya memasang semula kesemuanya lalu butkannya semula:

Nampaknya semua baik sahaja, segalanya dikesan:

Kemudian saya letakkannya di tempat yang dikhususkan untuknya, dan ambil video ini. Ini rupanya sekarang, dengar bunyi pemacu DVD dan pemacu HDD tersebut bermula, lihat logo pembutan tersebut, dan lihat semua sambungan kabel yang saya pasang ke PC di bahagian belakangnya, lihat juga penggunaan CPU, RAM dan pemproses grafik bersepadu:

Apa saya buat seterusnya?

Saya juga membeli beberapa barang lain yang saya akan ulaskan secara berasingan, tetapi secara asasnya:

Saya beli pemisah kuasa SATA untuk memisahkan kuasa SATA yang sedang memberi kuasa kepada pemacu HDD untuk turut memberi kuasa kepada pemacu SSD saya sendiri

Saya beli kabel data SATA kerana saya tidak mempunyainya untuk pemacu SSD kerana pemacu tersebut dahulunya dipasang terus ke dalam laptop

Saya ubah sambungan ke pemacu DVD dari slot SATA1 ke SATA2

Saya ubah sambungan ke pemacu HDD dari slot SATA0 ke SATA1

Saya sambungkan kabel baharu dari slot SATA0 ke pemacu SSD saya sendiri

Saya beli kad wayarles supaya saya mampu menggunakan Wi-Fi di PC tersebut

Saya berharap kini saya mampu lakukan kebanyakan perkara yang saya tidak mampu buat selepas kematian laptop tersebut. Saya sudah memasangkanapa yang perlu untuk diri sendiri dan telah membuat beberapa pengubahsuaian terhadap sistem.

Shopee: Dell Optiplex 9020 Computer

This is my review for Dell Optiplex 9020 that I had purchased on 23 October 2020.

Finally a PC?

I bought the PC after saving up for around 6 months by doing small freelance and commissions and receiving donations for my contributions to open source software-related activities. The PC was discounted when I bought it, so I paid  RM568.00 for the PC itself, then the shipping cost me RM7.21 on J&T Express, which is the most reliable courier for my area (the worst in the area is PosLaju).

Note that “KUL VIP” is basically private runner in Kuala Lumpur contracted by J&T to send parcels on their behalf, because the amount of parcels has increased significantly during the pandemic as people shifted to buying online.

First impression

The PC is actually clean when I received, so this is a REAL refurbish, not like other seller who claim to refurbish but didn't bother to clean it. In case people don’t realize, refurbish items must be cleaned unlike normal 2nd hand item.

The variation arrived is exactly as what I selected in order, 4th gen i5, 8GB RAM, 500GB HDD. I choose HDD because I already have SSD from the dead laptop that I can reuse, so the HDD is converted to additional storage space. 8GB RAM because that is the lowest amount of RAM that I’m comfortable using, speaking from experience from before as my dead laptop was 4GB RAM and I upgraded to 8GB RAM there after 3 years because I can’t bear with the RAM hitting maximum usage. The laptop was dead in January 2020 after 6 years serving me and that’s why I’m saving up to buy this PC. This PC works great for what I’m doing!

Look at the details

The condition of the parcel when I first received it:

The condition of the box after unwrapping the plastic:

After opening the box:

After removing the top bubble wrapping:

Now let’s get to see the actual PC:

I actually test it right away to ensure all are good, and then I open to see the inside:

As I want to see the underneath, I also take out the DVD drive and HDD:

From here I can see that there are 4 slots of RAMs, 2 is currently in used by the 2 x 4GB DDR3 sticks. I can also see the SATA ports having one vacant:

And then we can see the expansion slots, one is PCIE x4 slot and the other is PCIE x16 slot:

I’m saving more money to buy some wireless card to put at that PCIE x4 slot and to buy a dedicated low-profile graphics card to put at that PCIE x16 slot.

I put it all back together and boot it up again:

It’s all good, everything detected:

I then put it into the place, and take this video. This is how it looks like now, hear that sound of DVD and HDD startup, see the booting logo, and all the cable connections I had to the PC at the back side, also see the CPU, RAM and integrated graphics processor usage:

What I did next?

I also bought a few other stuff which I will review separately, but basically:

I bought a SATA power splitter to split the only SATA power that is powering the HDD to also power my own SSD

I bought a SATA data cable since I don’t have one for my SSD as it was from the dead laptop

I moved the DVD from SATA1 to SATA2 slot

I moved the HDD from SATA0 to SATA1 slot

I connect the new cable from SATA0 slot to my own SSD

I bought a wireless card so that I can use Wi-Fi on the PC

I hope I can now do most stuff that I was not able to do after the death of the laptop. I’ve since installed what’s necessary for myself and been doing many modifications to the system.

Shopee: Some Phone Accessories from Sarawak

On 23 September 2020, I placed an order to buy a few different items from one seller, 3C Digital Accessories in Sarawak. The items I bought were:

Hard Disk Holder HDD SSD Bracket Holder 2.5 to 3.5 Mounting Free Screw

USAMS 5V 2A Cable U26 Micro USB Braided Data and Charging Cable 1.2M

multi-function adjustable plastic desktop stand folding mobile phone bracket

3.5mm Male To 2.5mm Female Stereo Jack Audio Cable Adapter For Phone MP3 iPod PC (B603)

DVI 24+1 DVI-D Dual Link Male to HDMI Female Converter Adapter

Note that all the names written there are what the items listed as when I was buying them, not what I would call them.

                                                      The previous charging cable for my phone was no longer working good enough, where it will drop the fast charge when positioned in certain ways and it gets annoying. On top of that, I was looking for a way to connect the 2.5mm plug end of the scammed(?) microphone combo cable to my 3.5mm headphone jack on my headphone (explained later in this post), and this was the store that sell such cable adapter so I decide to order from this store, and adding few more items that could be useful for me to make the shipping worth since it’s from Sarawak and expecting it to take longer than usual, since Sabah and Sarawak have their own custom clearance even if it’s still in the country.

All of the items combined costed me RM22.00 in total, and the shipping is actually RM8.48 but Shopee applied shipping coupon of RM4.66 so the actual cost I paid for shipping was RM3.82. I choose J&T because it is the most reliable courier service for my area.

Summary:

Order placed on 23 September 2020, 09:09 Order paid via ShopeePay on 23 September 2020, 09:09 Order shipped out on 23 September 2020, 15:30 Order received on 30 September 2020, 13:33

First Impressions

I actually expect it to take at least 7 days to receive since it’s shipping from Sarawak which have their own custom and immigration etc despite being in the same country, so receiving it in 4 days is actually very good. Here is the package:

I took out everything from the package, it looks like the items are separately wrapped in the bubble wrap and there’s no actual support (like cardboard etc) but I guess it’s fine since the items ordered are not delicate anyway.

I then take the items out of their bubble wrappings. Looks like the cable adapter was not even in any sort of plastic, it’s just placed directly in the bubble wrap.

From here on, let’s look into each of the items, from top left onwards.

3.5 inch bracket mount for 2.5 inch hard disk

The name listed for this item was “Hard Disk Holder HDD SSD Bracket Holder 2.5 to 3.5 Mounting Free Screw”. The actual reason I bought this was that I'm saving up to buy a PC sometime later and I might need this to mount my 2.5 inch hard disk from the dead laptop to the PC, since I’m expecting that PC will only have 3.5 inch disk bay. The price of the bracket is RM3.50.

Nothing fancy here, it’s just a holder. It comes with screw so that’s a plus. I tried to just screw the HDD in advance on the bracket holder:

Adjustable smartphone stand

The name listed for this item was “Multi-function adjustable plastic desktop stand folding mobile phone bracket”. The reason I choose to buy this is because I wanted something to hold my phone when I’m watching video, and also to put my phone to charge wirelessly as I have the bare internal of wireless charger that I get for free from China before. It fits both of my hand-me-down smartphones. The price of the stand is RM3.00.

Trying to put my phone horizontally, how it looked like from the front:

What I was playing on my phone there was HIMEHINA - Utakata yo Ikanaide music video, which you can watch from here. And how it looked like from the back side:

Now I try to put my phone vertically, how it looked like from the front:

What I was playing on my phone there was the archived stream of Shiori Masayume playing No Straights Road, which you can watch from here. And how it looked like from the back side:

Here’s a video of me placing the phone on the stand:

DVI-D 24+1 Dual Link Plug to HDMI Jack Adapter

The name listed for this item was “DVI 24+1 DVI-D Dual Link Male to HDMI Female Converter Adapter”. The reason I choose to buy this is because I wanted to try connecting my older phablet and see if I can get that displayed on my monitor. The phablet has MHL feature and the usual MHL output is an HDMI signal, which should be compatible with DVI signal. Since the monitor is quite old, as it was already a refurbished monitor back then when I bought it, the monitor doesn’t have an HDMI input, but it has DVI input alongside VGA and DP. The price of the adapter is RM5.00.

I tried it that way but it seemed like the monitor doesn’t like the signal from the phone. The image only appear for a short while before blanking to black screen. Most probably the HDMI signal is encrypted, or maybe it’s the MHL output not having correct power to render the image. The adapter itself is not at fault here because what this type of passive adapter does is just reroute the wiring.

How the adapter looked like when installed:

Micro USB Braided Data and Charging Cable

The name listed for this item was “USAMS 5V 2A Cable U26 Micro USB Braided Data and Charging Cable 1.2M”. The previous charging cable for my phone was no longer working good enough, where it will drop the fast charge when positioned in certain ways and it gets annoying. Because of that I go on to find new cable. I choose this one as it’s kinda cheap while claimed to be braided instead of just rubber.

The cable came inside a plastic capsule. The price stated and the amount I paid was RM8.00, though the sticker on the packaging itself wrote RM15.00. It works perfectly, it is fast charging my phone, and the small light make it easier to find in the dark.

Here’s video of it in function:

3.5mm plug to 2.5mm jack audio cable adapter

The name listed for this item was “3.5mm Male To 2.5mm Female Stereo Jack Audio Cable Adapter For Phone MP3 iPod PC (B603)”. I was looking for a way to connect the 2.5mm plug end of the scammed microphone combo cable to my 3.5mm headphone jack on my headphone, and this was the store that sell such cable adapter so I decide to order from this store. The price of the adapter is RM2.50.

What I mean by scammed was that, back when I ordered it, I thought it will have 3.5mm plug on both side, one plug is to connect to the phone’s audio jack and the other plug is to connect to the headphone’s audio jack. What I received had 3.5mm plug to connect to the phone but the other side was 2.5mm plug instead to connect to a headphone. Instead of throwing away, since I do need the inline microphone, I order this adapter so that I could still use that scammed cable. I connect that scammed cable’s 2.5mm plug to the 3.5mm jack of the adapter, and then connect the 3.5mm jack of the adapter to my headphone’s 3.5mm jack.

It don’t actually work correctly, most probably because of the pin proportions. I don’t know if the scammed cable uses different connection than what the adapter was expecting or if it was because the adapter is for pure speaker / headphone connection while the scammed cable plug still had microphone connection as well despite it already having its own microphone inline. The result was sometimes only one side is working, while the other time it’s stereo mixed down to mono, both left and right signal is sent to both side on the headphone.

This is what it looked like, with text annotation:

Over all

For me, I’m satisfied with this order. I will buy again if there is any need, though I will still prioritized buying from peninsular side because it wouldn’t take too long to ship out that way.
