Who is currently the best Amazon Seller for a Dell Optiplex ?
When buying a 7020 or 9020 USFF/SFF/MT from Amazon, which I recommend you do, you'll need to pick a seller. Only 3rd party sellers approved by Amazon sell these machines. None are sold directly by and from Amazon even though they may ship them for 3rd parties.
I looked for the best deal (in terms of specs) from the seller with the highest rating per number of sales of these.
SKYTECH USA LLC came out on top.
I have no affiliation with this company, it's just my objective analysis. All they sell is PCs. They haven't gotten a single negative review in the past year on over 1,800 sales. To sell that many PCs to Amazon customers and have no complaints is telling you they are doing their refurbs right.

USFF.

SJ computers is also a good reseller, refurbisher. You can use them as well.
Here is the i7-4790 version of the Dell 9020 SFF:
Their 9020 SFF selling for $149.99 has most everything you'll need. It's already upgraded for you. As per the guide, use Windows first to flash the BIOS and test your hardware out. Then clean install macOS over Windows on the SSD. It's really not worth buying one with an old, worn out mechanical drive which many sellers include to cut costs. 16GB of ram is perfect for most use cases. You can add 16GB more.
Here's a direct link to Skytech on Amazon. you'll have to choose them yourself when clicking the links in post #1.
The one with the lowest price will come up first when I post a link to an Optipex. It's definitely worth ten dollars more to buy from Skytech. You'll get one fully refurbished and in great condition.
Skytech also sells an i7-4770/90 version in the SFF or MT form factor. Most people that want a general use hackintosh don't need the four extra threads of the i7. If you can afford the extra cost, it's certainly worth it to pay more for that.
