Had a Dell OptiPlex 3020 from 2015 die on me last Tuesday
It was a regular clean-up job for a small office in town, and the thing just wouldn't post. No beeps, no video, just the fan spinning up. I pulled the CMOS battery and tried a known-good PSU, but the mainboard was cooked. They didn't want to spend on a new board for a machine that old, so we just migrated the data and called it a day. Anyone have a good source for older OptiPlex parts, or is it just not worth the hassle anymore?

Check eBay for parts but honestly it's probably time to upgrade.

Upgrade to what though, that's the real question. Feels like every new model has some annoying flaw or missing feature the old one did right. Finding parts can be a pain but sometimes keeping the devil you know is better.
