Dell Precision 3620 Tower | 6th Gen Intel Core i5 | 8GB DDR4 RAM | 500GB HDD | Intel C236 Workstation Board

Suited to Nairobi architects, draughtsmen, surveying firms, and video editors who want CAD-class stability from a proven second-hand machine


Condition: New




Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice



Dell Precision 3620 Tower is now available at Mascom International for KSh 23,000, configured with a quad-core 6th Generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of DDR4-2133 memory, and a 500GB SATA hard drive. The unit is a carefully maintained international import, never deployed locally in Kenya, and it sits ready for collection at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The Dell Precision 3620 Tower is a certified entry workstation rather than a plain office desktop. Dell built it around the Intel C236 chipset, four DIMM slots, four SATA 6Gb/s ports, and a full-height PCIe x16 Gen 3 slot rated for a 150W graphics card.

Kenya's architecture practices, quantity surveyors, land survey firms, small video studios, and university computer labs keep hitting the same wall. AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks, and Adobe Premiere all want a machine with expansion room, yet new workstations start well above KSh 150,000. The Dell Precision 3620 Tower closes that gap. Four memory slots accept up to 64GB of DDR4, two internal 3.5-inch bays hold two hard drives or four 2.5-inch SSDs, and the chassis carries four full-height expansion slots. You buy a tested platform today and grow the storage, memory, and graphics as your project files get heavier.

Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who sell second-hand towers without naming the chipset or the power supply rating, Mascom International states exactly what sits inside every Dell Precision 3620 Tower we ship. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us that honest spec sheet is why they come back to Mascom International. Each tower is booted, tested across processor, memory, drive, ports, and power supply, then confirmed working before it leaves our counter. Walk in to Kimathi Street and start the Dell Precision 3620 Tower yourself, or order for pay-on-arrival countrywide delivery and pay only once the tower reaches your office in Nakuru, Kisumu, or Eldoret.

Common Questions About the Dell Precision 3620 Tower

Is a 6th Generation Intel Core i5 still fast enough for real work in 2026?
Yes, for the workloads most Kenyan offices and design studios run daily. The quad-core Skylake Core i5 holds a 3.2GHz base clock with turbo near 3.6GHz and 6MB of cache, which handles AutoCAD 2D drafting, mid-size Revit models, large Excel workbooks, 30 browser tabs, Zoom calls, and 1080p video timelines. Where it trails a modern chip is heavy 3D rendering and 4K export, which take roughly twice as long as a 12th Gen i5. At KSh 23,000 that trade-off is easy to accept.

Is this Dell Precision 3620 Tower used or refurbished, and does the difference matter?
It is used, never refurbished, and the difference matters for what you are actually buying. Refurbished means a vendor opened the machine, replaced parts such as the power supply or drive, then resold it under a fresh certification. Nothing inside this tower has been swapped. Mascom International imports these units in clean used condition from corporate fleets abroad, where they sat in air-conditioned offices and were never deployed locally in Kenya. We test every subsystem, disclose cosmetic marks honestly, and sell the machine as it arrived.

Can I replace the 500GB hard drive with an SSD, and is it worth doing?
Yes, and it is the single best upgrade you can make to this tower. The motherboard carries four SATA 6Gb/s ports plus one M.2 22x80 slot supporting a PCIe NVMe SSD. A 500GB SATA SSD costs roughly KSh 5,000 to KSh 7,500 in Nairobi and cuts boot time from about 45 seconds to under 15. Keep the original 500GB spinning drive as a second volume for drawing archives, raw video footage, and project backups. Mascom International fits and clones drives at the Kimathi Street counter.

How much RAM does the Dell Precision 3620 Tower take and what does an upgrade cost in Kenya?
The board holds four DIMM slots and accepts up to 64GB of DDR4-2133, in either non-ECC or ECC form. Your unit ships with 8GB in one slot, leaving three slots free. An 8GB DDR4-2133 module costs roughly KSh 3,000 to KSh 4,500 locally, so moving to 16GB is cheap and moving to 32GB stays under KSh 15,000. Jump to 16GB if you run Revit, SketchUp with large component libraries, Premiere Pro, or several virtual machines at once.

Will AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks, or Adobe software run on this tower?
Yes. Dell certified the Precision Tower 3000 Series with independent software vendors including Autodesk, Adobe, and SolidWorks, which is the practical difference between a workstation chassis and a consumer desktop. AutoCAD 2D and light 3D run on the integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 as shipped. For Revit families, SolidWorks assemblies, Lumion, or Premiere Pro timelines, add a graphics card in the x16 Gen 3 slot. An NVIDIA Quadro P620 or a GTX 1650 fits within the 150W graphics allowance comfortably.

Does it come with Windows, and can I install Windows 11?
The unit ships without a licensed operating system, so budget for Windows or use Linux. Windows 10 Pro is the version Dell certified for this platform, though Microsoft ended Windows 10 support in October 2025. Windows 11 requires an 8th Generation Intel processor or newer on Microsoft's official list, so a Skylake Core i5 falls outside supported hardware. Many Kenyan buyers run Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or Linux Mint here instead. Mascom International installs your licensed copy of Windows or a Linux build at the store.

Can I add a graphics card, extra drives, or more expansion cards later?
Yes, and this is where the Dell Precision 3620 Tower earns its price. The chassis offers one full-height PCIe x16 Gen 3 slot, a second x16 slot wired at x4, a PCIe x4 Gen 3 slot, and a legacy PCI slot. Two internal 3.5-inch bays take two hard drives or four 2.5-inch SSDs, and two external 5.25-inch bays accept an optical drive or card reader. The 290W or 365W 80 PLUS power supply feeds a graphics card up to 150W without a swap.

How does buying a used tower from Mascom International work in Kenya?
You pay on arrival. Order by phone, WhatsApp, or our website, and the Dell Precision 3620 Tower reaches you before any money changes hands, which removes the usual risk of buying second-hand hardware from an unknown seller. Nairobi and its environs receive same-day delivery, and all other major towns receive next-business-day delivery. Prefer to inspect first? Come to Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Monday through Saturday between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM, and boot the machine yourself.
