Does anyone have any experience, go or bad, re RF interference to or from the Dell Optiplex FX160 1.6GHz Atom in a multi-multi operating environment? Reply as you see fit, direct or to the reflector.

Mike, I've built a LOT of contesting computers form off-lease Dell boxes; they are all very good as far as RF interference. Generally, they are sold for office environments, where they must meet more

I'm not disputing your positive experience, but exactly the opposite for the above statement, Gerry. Business/industrial falls under Part 15 Class A, which allows the emission of roughly 20 dB more R

Thanks, Mike -- you are right. But, in the commerical PCs, the RFI shielding tends to be much better -- don't get that. I know it's a cost issue on the "home" pcs. Thanks for the reminder! 73, Gerry

HI .. I have two of the `puters like Gerry has, got them on sale @ Newegg for less than $80 per... With Windows 7 Pro! Can't hardly get the OS for that price! They work swell, no RFI probs. I did add

Gerry: While I have found the Dell boxes to be relatively RF quiet, you have the RFI issue backwards. The residential standards (Class B devices) are much more strict than office/industrial (Class A

I have an Optiplex 755 that I got from a guy on eBay for $115. The guys user name is 'computerbase'. Not affiliated, just a happy customer. It's a dual core, 2.8mhz with 2 gig ram and W7. Use if for

Tom, Prices for the Dell Optiplex 755 & 760's on eBay have been dropping. I've gotten some for myself, family & for another ham for under $100 per unit (including shipping and sales tax) direct from

I hope Dell has improved the Optiplex desktops. I had two GX-270's and a GX-280 and they evidently used cheap, underrated electrolytics in those models. The caps would fail and render the motherboard

Agreed, Ron! Put a $100 Samsung 850 256G SSD in those 755's and they wiil boot Windows 7/8 in 3 seconds. Turns an OK PC into a rocket. 73, Gerry W1VE _______________________________________________ C
