    I haven't been here much lately, but I'm still at it. Sent a box off a few weeks ago and had the garage nice and clean, which didn't last long. Got a call from one of my regulars and I have more ready to ship as soon as I get some pricing info back. This load had what I thought were thin clients but they turned out to be Optiplex 5060's. All had different components missing except 1. I think I'll keep it as a spare because the PC I usually use is giving me problems.
    Has anyone ever used a 5060 before? This one has an 8th gen processor (i5 8500t) and 2 sticks of 8 gig memory.

    You never know what you'll run into. If you can ... you might go into the BIOS and enable UEFI secure boot & TPM before you install the operating system. That way it would be eligible for the Win 11 upgrade when the time comes around.

    That was something i missed earlier this year. A Cyberpower w/ AMD Ryzen 5 2600 , 8 gb ddr 4 ram, & high end video card came into the shop. Ditched the traditional hard drive for an SSD and then installed the OS. It's more machine than i really need for my purposes but it's fairly current as far as technology goes. Should last for awhile if i can keep updating the OS.

    The thing is that it won't seem to let me enable TPM & secure boot. Best guess is that it should have been done before installing the new SSD & OS.
