I won’t lie, I’ve seen a lot of random stuff involving Amazon and sellers doing some crazy shenanigans, but that’s the first time I’ve ever seen someone send a dummy package to trick Amazon into believing that it was delivered and then shipping the actual product a week later. This is what I come to this channel for.
OH $h!T, is that what happened to me?? Awhile back I bought a PS5 from a seller on Amazon that included a controller charging dock... I got the dock, and Amazon said my package was delivered, but never got the PS5! Amazon, of course helped me out and refunded my money eventually, but not without some back-and-forth. What a scam!
The weight is on the package, you could always let amazon know you got a fake package and you can reverse scam them after they send you the real pc, if they do at all.
Bundling eWaste peripherals with glammed-up eWaste PCs and and then charging a premium for it is literally the definition of sketchy... then add the "letter" they sent to get around the shipping timelines is just the worst.
Yea. Using the letter to 'fake' being 'prime shipping' and meeting the 2-day window because they were actually GROUND shipping the PC/box of e-waste at a much lower shipping cost.

IDEA! You should buy this mini PC off of temu it has like a Ryzen 5 I’m pretty sure in it for like 100 bucks or something it would be pretty cool to watch as I have built my gaming setup from temu to mess around with
you also have to consider what else you can get on the market right now for the same price. You can buy a steam deck with windows OS and run games like elden ring with a dock. Or even a new gen playstation or xbox has similar price points. I've seen a lot of this Ewaste flipping recently online and its important to set standards. Mine are 8th gen intel, 3000 series amd. gtx 1050 and rx 560 should be the bare minimum. Anything below should be considered ewaste.
The bare minimum should be an 3060 RTX 12GB ver, it's the most affordable & popular card on Steam (they're normally around 270 bucks) and can goes down to 220-250 on deals, anything below that will just struggle And you should not have a less than 10400f (which you can find it for 40 bucks locally), seriously never cheap out on your pc parts & get something like what i mentioned above & not less than that
Gaming PC's aren't only for the hardcore PC gamers. Having said that, I disagree with you 100%. What if my only use is for Roblox? a game that I enjoy playing all the time? What if "excellent graphics" are not a big deal for me? and would like to use this pc for school work, apps, movies, or simply browsing the web. You sound like a Lamborghini driver telling people that that's the minimum you should drive to get from point A to point B when I can get there the same way by driving a Toyota corolla. Yes, it will take me an extra 15 minutes, but I will get there eventually. A PC for $350 works for me, I'm OK driving a corolla, if you can afford a Lambo, good for you my friend.

You guys have sold me on Micro Center! Ha. Checking it out now. I haven't heard about it before watching you guys. West coast based and I'm not sure if they have stores here. Anyways, thanks for helping me find a new gaming comp!
Looking at this system makes me wonder if there are aftermarket parts for models of optiplex and elite desk that you can just swap out panels for these custom etched acrylic and glass? If that's the case I would love to mod some of my old units for family as Christmas presents.
Not a bad set up considering the peripherals come with it. $400 for like an entry level set up is pretty stout. Personally I'd go for newer hardware to future proof and cry about the price later lol. I built a budget PC for my sister with a 1070, R5 5600, B550, and 16GB RAM for $550 and idk if I'd deviate far from that given the performance I got out of it.
I would buy one of these Zeus pc's for my son to play minecraft or whatever else 7 year Olds play.. I mean it's eye catching RGB and busy looking, kids love stuff like that👍
I've seen big companies that I work for sending false shipments just to stay in good standings all the time. Very common. Violating contracts only hurts when you're the consumer.
I appreciate the inclusion of cheap peripherals because a new computer owner may get blindsided by it. You need basic devices to actually operate the computer so outside of the display having everything in the box is helpful overall.
The thing about the cheaper computers is there is a LARGE section of people that dig themselves out of debt, end up married, start having kids, and their kids want a PC, but the parents don't know a THING about PC's. Anything over $400-$600 is considered too much. I have a friend that wants to get her daughter a small electronic drum kit, but the $200 price was too much for them on a used Aleais kit . So there are people that are looking for super cheap only because they don't know, or can't afford anything else.
As for the pc going to sleep and full throttle cpu fan… it’s not actually in sleep mode, the pc thermal throttled, and was unable to recover temps, which causes the fans to ramp up all the way and the pc to turn off.
i wish we have a microcenter or something close to it here in the philippines. just so that my mouth would be drooling over the cool but expensive parts.
HP G1 800 sff Intel gen 4. You can pick one of these up with upgraded psu ram and ssd for about $60. The case mod is dope tho. Only fourth gen worth using today is the 4790k
Only 4th gen worth using is the Xeon E3 1240 v3 because of pricing. The 4790k is amazing if you have a Z87/Z97 board, a delidder and some 2400+ DDR3. Blows an i3 10100F out of the water easily. But most people on a budget won't have any of that (because it's not budget) or the know how on how to tune it
"blows an i3 10100f out of the water", lol, wut!? An i3 10100 is 7% higher or so in both single and multi bench marks. My last gaming PC was a cheap 4790 and my kids are rocking xeon e3's. They were cheap, great bang for the buck, but performance wise, there really is not a lot of difference between a xeon and a 4790k unless you overclock the snot out of it. When I experimented with mine, I couldn't get more the 2% higher fps in the games I tested Under normal "boosting", they are essentially the exact same chip. A 10100f is slightly better, if not "on par" with a 4790. Throw a slight oc on the 10100f and it will run away from the 4790k, barely, but it will.
Why are you looking at out of the box benchmarks from God knows what kind of unreliable numbers when I specifically talked about delidding (which includes liquid metal) and overclocking an i7 4790k? Your 4790 with DDR3 1600 numbers don't matter here. I'm talking 4790k, 5Ghz at 1.45V, 4.6 cache, DDR3 2666CL11 or even higher if you get lucky with the silicon lottery. Tuned sub timings, none of that AUTO crap. In fact I made it clear in my original comment that I'm talking balls to the wall overclock. An i3 10100F on a cheap H410 with DDR4 2666CL15 fully locked down isn't going to keep up. I'm starting to think you don't really know what you're talking about. The 10100F is locked. You CANNOT OC it. Some motherboards will allow BCLK, but the most you can get out of it stable is MAAAYBE 102 BCLK. If you did have a Z370 board, you could technically overclock the memory - but IMC voltages on that chip are still locked, so you can't even do much there. Go back and read what I said again. I even made a point for the 10100F because most people don't have the money to sink into an old Haswell platform just to 10-20% more performance than something modern. At that point, you can buy a 10400F and be good.
@@b0ne91 my 10 year old 2nd gen dell laptop doesn't support overclocking, but I managed to almost double it's single thread performance by increase its power usage allowance in bios. I don't use benchmarks to drag race PC's, I use them to make sure my setups are operating efficiently and as expected. User submitted benchmarks are usually done by tech savvy people who want to see what their PC is capable of, and I find, usually higher then an standard "out of the box" experience. Let's take your 4790k. Used, they usually sit around $100 or more on ebay. De-lib, which is usually safe, but can be risky. Couple hundred in watercooling, and you have nearly the performance of a cheap $75 cpu with way more cost and effort. All that effort to beat the slowest, crappiest cpu of that generation, that was nothing special to begin with anyways. I did overclock my 4790k, and as I said, it netted me all of a 2% increase over my 4790. It was all old used hardware, don't know if the last guy burned it up, or if I just got super unlucky, but there was very little difference to anything but power usage before either the benchmarks dropped or I had stability issues. I also did oc my ram, all the way up to I think 2133mhz or so, just to see what the difference was over the standard 1600mhz kit I had. It had zero difference in performance at all, games or otherwise And yes, I mistook the f designation as a overclockable, slip of the mind where normally when I see f, it's with kf. I like 4th gen Intel and newer for dirt cheap bang for the buck gamer systems, but to say it will destroy a 10th gen nearly identical CPU is ridiculous. And the fact that you said "the only 4th gen with buying is the e3 1240" also makes no sense. The 1240 isn't a particularly high clock and and if the higher tired CPU's go for same price on ebay used and have the same 4c 8t with higher clock speeds, until you get the price jump at about the 1290's. But where you cannot overclock the xeon's, there is litterly no performance increase at all that the 1240v3 would have over anything else higher in the stack, bang for the buck or otherwise. Not just trying to dog on the 4790, I am actually quite fond of that cpu, but at the end of the day, it's a decade old cpu and the cheapest "modern" CPU's would clean it's clock, even with modifications and crazy OC's. There was a real lack of innovation generationally until about the 10th gen, but power efficiency, more modern features and longer support life make a newer gen CPU of even similar performance a no brainer.
The sleep mode issue is a compatibility issue with windows 10. I also have an older intel cpu, and when I went from W7 to W10, it would never wake from sleep mode. Had to disable it.
Hello guys, i just want to know if the build pc in your’s website (the 545€ one) is still good for videogames like fortnite, gta5, euro truck.. please let me know, thank you so much!
So my daughter is 7. She has been on mainly phones and now tablets with her games playing Roblox etc and every now and then on my ps5. But one day she asked to get on my computer (I watched very carefully lol). Just for Roblox so I downloaded it and let her play. Now my PC is one of the top ones and is my baby (Threadripper PRO 5965WX, RTX 4070 12GB, 64GB DDR4, 2TB M.2 NVMe and of course liquid) and just by buying her this as her first PC she is in love and can't tell the difference because she isn't playing the games I play and doesn't know the difference. I will start to show her how to build her own soon but for now this does what she needs it to do. This is a good starter computer for a child that I don't want to try to expand it so it's perfect for the price. It comes with everything you need besides a monitor and those are really cheap nowadays. I mean shit my first computer was the latest and greatest windows 2.1, so by all means this is not bad at all. Good video gentlemen.
Juste by getting used parts from my local secondhand site, I managed to put together a PC, with an RX 480 8 GB, Ryzen 7 2700 and 16 GB RAM, in a neat case with the wraith cooler and a 1 TB SSD for 360 €. If I add 100 € I get peripherals, including a 24" 120 Hz 1080p monitor.
Yeah about your sponsor... I'm not going to drive two hundred miles round trip to go to a Micro Center. Because the closest one to me is a hundred miles away in Nashville Tennessee😅
The extra stuff is good for people who arent hardcore gamers and its a great all in one package. For experienced gamers that care about the experience i dont believe this would be a good option simply because experienced gamers usually prefer a great pc overall and we invest enough to already have all the extras in the quality we want.
This package clearly isn't for "hardcore" gamers. This would be for an entry level gamer looking for their first pc. I think it's probably a great deal for them. Anyone complaining about the extras aren't really thinking about the actual target market. Someone who can't afford a normal gaming pc, probably looking for their first set up, everything is in there to get you in a game.
They probably have a deal that gets them peripherals DIRT CHEAP. So they include them to give you that "value" or "I got a steal" vibe. I remember getting cheap peripherals and some RAM back in the day. Got a $1 keyboard, $5 optical mice. Still got that keyboard somewhere.... 😂
While the specs and all the extra stuff aren't great the price is decent, for $450 (not including tax or shipping) you get a 22 inch monitor, 256gb ssd & a 2TB HDD plus all the peripherals + the computer.
This is about 360 dollars when bought separatly, they need money to support the company and the money to save their company but good for those who dont want to build their own computer, looks good too.
Honestly the seller is on the right track here. Get a low profile RTX A2000 and you’re gaming at 1080p on high (even in Diablo IV). ETA Prime has a video on it. If you can get the desktops and the GPU s at a low enough price (along with some dual channel RAM) you’re in business.
As a lifetime pc gamer at ~40 that works in the IT industry, kids around me today don't care about having a 4090. COD and BF games and the like have lost any edge they've had with pisspoor choices and/or lack of innovation(I like 2042, but BF1 is prettier, and it's how many years old?). Other FPSs either don't need the horses or don't bring anything to the genre to warrant them. The same can be said as far as my experience with other genres, but I'm not as experienced with those. When the jump in graphics from a x060 to a x090 is $1000, and you don't really even have a great excuse for a singular x060 generational upgrade to begin with... you start to understand how these systems make a lot of sense. I actually hate this. When I see what the new unreal engine can do, it's honestly a tragic statement of modern game development. It's all about the mobile pay to wins. Even if 1/4 of the gaming community buys into it, they still come out ahead. Why charge $60 for a game, when you could loose 90% of your player base and rest all pay 10x and your development effort is half at most? Answer? Fads and staying power. BF has become a fad relying on it's past staying power that is demising with each release. The fad effect for BF is not and never will be there.
I was going to answer the peripheral question, but would rather say: Don't touch the contacts on the memory. Is this the first time you've taken a computer apart?
I bought this PC for 400$ used ofc CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G 3.90GHz Motherboard: Aorus Elite X570 RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 4x8GB DDR4 3200MHz CL18 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 SSD: 500GB Intel M.2 NVME + 2TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM PSU: Cooler Master 650W 80+ Bronze Case: Focus Gold Seeing this video makes me feel i got the best possible deal .
also, as long as this pos can play BO2 with 1000 modded maps, I dont see why it wouldn't have a market. Man it's been a long time since I tried to game on a 1030, that was a pure nightmare of a time.
Adding cheap keyboard, mouse, WiFi and in this case even camera, is a cheap way to get good reviews. Reason is simple - many people do not know much about the computers. Maybe they had laptop (where everything mentioned is already included) or just a phone before that. Now they got everything they need (except display) and they would be pleasantly surprised. On the other hand, lets say that instead all of that seller included 6400 or 1650 GPU. Better performance in games - yes, but you actually need to buy lots of additional stuff to even start gaming. Same with included HDD, better to have it, than not to have it and run out of the space when you install few games.
This looks like someone buying HP Elitedesks for cheap, upgrading them, and selling them. You can put a low profile RTX A2000 in one of these and have a VERY capable gaming machine.
@@fluffypotato7475 maybe a low profile RX 6400 then. Would get some decent gaming done at 1080p. The overall look of what they did with the system here is great.
For 300$ you get a brand new laptop with Ryzen 5 5500U, which has around 4x the CPU power and similar graphics performance, while drawing third of the electricity from the socket and you get full hd display for free. It's a terrible deal. The price of such PC is around 100$.
3:09 hmmm depends if you have nothing, then you might look at one of these if you already have peripherals then there's no reason to look at a bundle at all unless you're looking at like NICE bundles like corsair kits
Would be nice if they would just ship the desktop alone. Or give options for cheap peripherals and or a monitor. But at that cheap is cheap. Even the desktop alone may not be worth $150-$200 with out shipping.

tbh for a ddr3 system i would never pay over $300 for one its too old and i would rather just get something used that isnt that old and performs much better for the same price.
Out of all of the pc's that you guys sell. I wouldn't sell this one for much. Honestly, take out the 1030 and put a rx550 or 580 in there, then sell it. At least that's what I would do to try to give someone an actually usable gaming pc.
The GeForce GT 1030 was an entry-level graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on May 17th, 2017. Built on the 14 nm process, and based on the GP108 graphics processor, in its GP108-300-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12. This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce GT 1030. really old 2017 gpu jikes bad.

I mean a 1080 is only like 30$ more that would have been a better option.
But if your build was 450$ it would have been a great deal
I would buy one of these Zeus pc's for my son to play minecraft or whatever else 7 year Olds play..
I mean it's eye catching RGB and busy looking, kids love stuff like that👍
I've seen big companies that I work for sending false shipments just to stay in good standings all the time. Very common. Violating contracts only hurts when you're the consumer.
"No free computer for you" That felt personal to me bro, I'm hurt💔💔💔💔💔
I appreciate the inclusion of cheap peripherals because a new computer owner may get blindsided by it. You need basic devices to actually operate the computer so outside of the display having everything in the box is helpful overall.
The thing about the cheaper computers is there is a LARGE section of people that dig themselves out of debt, end up married, start having kids, and their kids want a PC, but the parents don't know a THING about PC's.
Anything over $400-$600 is considered too much. I have a friend that wants to get her daughter a small electronic drum kit, but the $200 price was too much for them on a used Aleais kit .
So there are people that are looking for super cheap only because they don't know, or can't afford anything else.
RGB ram has RGBs soldered onto the ram itself at the top. It's powered through the slot.
The micro center sponsors always remind me that we don’t have any where I live
I have my own peripherals so I don't need any included items when I purchase a PC. They would just take up storage space.
As for the pc going to sleep and full throttle cpu fan… it’s not actually in sleep mode, the pc thermal throttled, and was unable to recover temps, which causes the fans to ramp up all the way and the pc to turn off.
i wish we have a microcenter or something close to it here in the philippines. just so that my mouth would be drooling over the cool but expensive parts.
HP G1 800 sff Intel gen 4. You can pick one of these up with upgraded psu ram and ssd for about $60. The case mod is dope tho. Only fourth gen worth using today is the 4790k
Only 4th gen worth using is the Xeon E3 1240 v3 because of pricing. The 4790k is amazing if you have a Z87/Z97 board, a delidder and some 2400+ DDR3. Blows an i3 10100F out of the water easily. But most people on a budget won't have any of that (because it's not budget) or the know how on how to tune it
"blows an i3 10100f out of the water", lol, wut!? An i3 10100 is 7% higher or so in both single and multi bench marks.
My last gaming PC was a cheap 4790 and my kids are rocking xeon e3's. They were cheap, great bang for the buck, but performance wise, there really is not a lot of difference between a xeon and a 4790k unless you overclock the snot out of it. When I experimented with mine, I couldn't get more the 2% higher fps in the games I tested Under normal "boosting", they are essentially the exact same chip.
A 10100f is slightly better, if not "on par" with a 4790. Throw a slight oc on the 10100f and it will run away from the 4790k, barely, but it will.
Why are you looking at out of the box benchmarks from God knows what kind of unreliable numbers when I specifically talked about delidding (which includes liquid metal) and overclocking an i7 4790k? Your 4790 with DDR3 1600 numbers don't matter here.
I'm talking 4790k, 5Ghz at 1.45V, 4.6 cache, DDR3 2666CL11 or even higher if you get lucky with the silicon lottery. Tuned sub timings, none of that AUTO crap. In fact I made it clear in my original comment that I'm talking balls to the wall overclock. An i3 10100F on a cheap H410 with DDR4 2666CL15 fully locked down isn't going to keep up.
I'm starting to think you don't really know what you're talking about. The 10100F is locked. You CANNOT OC it. Some motherboards will allow BCLK, but the most you can get out of it stable is MAAAYBE 102 BCLK. If you did have a Z370 board, you could technically overclock the memory - but IMC voltages on that chip are still locked, so you can't even do much there.
Go back and read what I said again. I even made a point for the 10100F because most people don't have the money to sink into an old Haswell platform just to 10-20% more performance than something modern. At that point, you can buy a 10400F and be good.
@@b0ne91 my 10 year old 2nd gen dell laptop doesn't support overclocking, but I managed to almost double it's single thread performance by increase its power usage allowance in bios. I don't use benchmarks to drag race PC's, I use them to make sure my setups are operating efficiently and as expected. User submitted benchmarks are usually done by tech savvy people who want to see what their PC is capable of, and I find, usually higher then an standard "out of the box" experience.
Let's take your 4790k. Used, they usually sit around $100 or more on ebay. De-lib, which is usually safe, but can be risky. Couple hundred in watercooling, and you have nearly the performance of a cheap $75 cpu with way more cost and effort. All that effort to beat the slowest, crappiest cpu of that generation, that was nothing special to begin with anyways.
I did overclock my 4790k, and as I said, it netted me all of a 2% increase over my 4790. It was all old used hardware, don't know if the last guy burned it up, or if I just got super unlucky, but there was very little difference to anything but power usage before either the benchmarks dropped or I had stability issues. I also did oc my ram, all the way up to I think 2133mhz or so, just to see what the difference was over the standard 1600mhz kit I had. It had zero difference in performance at all, games or otherwise
And yes, I mistook the f designation as a overclockable, slip of the mind where normally when I see f, it's with kf.
I like 4th gen Intel and newer for dirt cheap bang for the buck gamer systems, but to say it will destroy a 10th gen nearly identical CPU is ridiculous. And the fact that you said "the only 4th gen with buying is the e3 1240" also makes no sense. The 1240 isn't a particularly high clock and and if the higher tired CPU's go for same price on ebay used and have the same 4c 8t with higher clock speeds, until you get the price jump at about the 1290's.
But where you cannot overclock the xeon's, there is litterly no performance increase at all that the 1240v3 would have over anything else higher in the stack, bang for the buck or otherwise. Not just trying to dog on the 4790, I am actually quite fond of that cpu, but at the end of the day, it's a decade old cpu and the cheapest "modern" CPU's would clean it's clock, even with modifications and crazy OC's. There was a real lack of innovation generationally until about the 10th gen, but power efficiency, more modern features and longer support life make a newer gen CPU of even similar performance a no brainer.
The sleep mode issue is a compatibility issue with windows 10. I also have an older intel cpu, and when I went from W7 to W10, it would never wake from sleep mode. Had to disable it.
Micro center is goated , just picked up a Ryzen 5 3600 and a gigabyte b450m Wi-Fi motherboard for $124 brand new
Hello guys, i just want to know if the build pc in your’s website (the 545€ one) is still good for videogames like fortnite, gta5, euro truck.. please let me know, thank you so much!
if only central Florida had a microcenter :( I heard Miami is getting one though
So my daughter is 7. She has been on mainly phones and now tablets with her games playing Roblox etc and every now and then on my ps5. But one day she asked to get on my computer (I watched very carefully lol). Just for Roblox so I downloaded it and let her play. Now my PC is one of the top ones and is my baby (Threadripper PRO 5965WX, RTX 4070 12GB, 64GB DDR4, 2TB M.2 NVMe and of course liquid) and just by buying her this as her first PC she is in love and can't tell the difference because she isn't playing the games I play and doesn't know the difference. I will start to show her how to build her own soon but for now this does what she needs it to do. This is a good starter computer for a child that I don't want to try to expand it so it's perfect for the price. It comes with everything you need besides a monitor and those are really cheap nowadays. I mean shit my first computer was the latest and greatest windows 2.1, so by all means this is not bad at all. Good video gentlemen.
Juste by getting used parts from my local secondhand site, I managed to put together a PC, with an RX 480 8 GB, Ryzen 7 2700 and 16 GB RAM, in a neat case with the wraith cooler and a 1 TB SSD for 360 €. If I add 100 € I get peripherals, including a 24" 120 Hz 1080p monitor.
Not bad, I got a 400$ laptop with ryzen 5 and 3050ti, threw 32 gb ram in it and a 980 pro, can play in 1440p for less than 500$
What is the name of it
Yeah about your sponsor...
I'm not going to drive two hundred miles round trip to go to a Micro Center.
Because the closest one to me is a hundred miles away in Nashville Tennessee😅
The extra stuff is good for people who arent hardcore gamers and its a great all in one package. For experienced gamers that care about the experience i dont believe this would be a good option simply because experienced gamers usually prefer a great pc overall and we invest enough to already have all the extras in the quality we want.
This package clearly isn't for "hardcore" gamers. This would be for an entry level gamer looking for their first pc. I think it's probably a great deal for them. Anyone complaining about the extras aren't really thinking about the actual target market. Someone who can't afford a normal gaming pc, probably looking for their first set up, everything is in there to get you in a game.
We need Micro Centre in the UK they would kill it.
Just wanted to comment and say I miss living near a Micro Center. Probably not planning to put one in Vegas, I'd guess.
Matt says Temu and I get an AD for Temu as soon as he says it lol
Leds on ddr3 rams like those in Crucial Ballistix Tracers are mounted on the ram pcb. No wires ;)
Micro Center needs to open a shop in Phoenix 😮💨
what's the best you can do in this case? if it can get beefy then i think they should sell the case seperately too
Beefy was that Dell spoof in Counterstrike Source.
Why should they? this case looks like crap
They've been teasing my state with one but I haven't heard anything. Not going travel across states for a micro center lol.
Do the amazon HP rgb desktop pc with the 2060 next its 360$
yeah i live in new zealand
we don't have a micro centre...
They probably have a deal that gets them peripherals DIRT CHEAP. So they include them to give you that "value" or "I got a steal" vibe.
I remember getting cheap peripherals and some RAM back in the day. Got a $1 keyboard, $5 optical mice. Still got that keyboard somewhere.... 😂
0:18 I’m not driving about 6 hours to the nearest micro center
While the specs and all the extra stuff aren't great the price is decent, for $450 (not including tax or shipping) you get a 22 inch monitor, 256gb ssd & a 2TB HDD plus all the peripherals + the computer.
i bought a gaming laptop with RTX3060 and its great AND just for 500 dollars
for 368 usd i got a 1070 ti and a i7 8700 and ofcourse a lot more. it was a steal
0:33 yeah i am definitely missing out cus microcenter isnt in my country...
no peripherals, unless they are optional. even if they dont affect the price, E-waste is no joke tbh
i think the speaker Leerfei would be said like "Leer-Fi with the e being silent
This is about 360 dollars when bought separatly, they need money to support the company and the money to save their company but good for those who dont want to build their own computer, looks good too.
maybe im just used to slow computers but this thing seems like it runs awesome
Config is: modified HP ELITE DESK | GT1030 2GB | I5 4570 4/4 3.6GHz | 8GB RAM (possibly 1600MHz) | SuperTalent 240GB SSD | 1TB HDD
They need to put a micro center in the San Diego area.
I'm so glad I don't have one.... terrible rebuild.... to take an old HP and try to modify it.... what were they thinking?
that's shady as hell, glad you got the pc.
i mean with all the gadgets 400 isn't the worst
Honestly the seller is on the right track here. Get a low profile RTX A2000 and you’re gaming at 1080p on high (even in Diablo IV). ETA Prime has a video on it. If you can get the desktops and the GPU s at a low enough price (along with some dual channel RAM) you’re in business.
I got it for $215 a way better price
As a lifetime pc gamer at ~40 that works in the IT industry, kids around me today don't care about having a 4090. COD and BF games and the like have lost any edge they've had with pisspoor choices and/or lack of innovation(I like 2042, but BF1 is prettier, and it's how many years old?). Other FPSs either don't need the horses or don't bring anything to the genre to warrant them. The same can be said as far as my experience with other genres, but I'm not as experienced with those.
When the jump in graphics from a x060 to a x090 is $1000, and you don't really even have a great excuse for a singular x060 generational upgrade to begin with... you start to understand how these systems make a lot of sense.
I actually hate this. When I see what the new unreal engine can do, it's honestly a tragic statement of modern game development. It's all about the mobile pay to wins. Even if 1/4 of the gaming community buys into it, they still come out ahead. Why charge $60 for a game, when you could loose 90% of your player base and rest all pay 10x and your development effort is half at most? Answer? Fads and staying power. BF has become a fad relying on it's past staying power that is demising with each release. The fad effect for BF is not and never will be there.
Hey Microcenter your missing the boat by not coming up to Canada.
This makes the Minisforum UM790 Pro look like a super computer lol.
Everything be I order form Amazon comes in 5 to 7 days anymore
I worked for amazon returns dept.
The items in the box mightve been the only things that were returned & repackaged (“renewed”)
I don't buy pre built but in the budget category e-waste peripherals are a waste of money.
holds the glass panel and his hand i dont think its shattered well holding it right its obviously fine
Junk peripherals is not bad for the price
BUT bad headsets for me are a deal breaker.
I was going to answer the peripheral question, but would rather say: Don't touch the contacts on the memory. Is this the first time you've taken a computer apart?
Got so excited when you included siege cause that’s all I play
I wish micro centre was in the Bahamas
I bought this PC for 400$ used ofc
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G 3.90GHz
Motherboard: Aorus Elite X570
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 4x8GB DDR4 3200MHz CL18
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5
SSD: 500GB Intel M.2 NVME + 2TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM
PSU: Cooler Master 650W 80+ Bronze
Case: Focus Gold
Seeing this video makes me feel i got the best possible deal .
Can your pc run Rust if yes what is the average fps?
Title: EVERYONE buying. Video: would you pick up the zeus, I don't know.
Ayo MicroCentre, come to Australia already, we got shit all here.
also, as long as this pos can play BO2 with 1000 modded maps, I dont see why it wouldn't have a market.
Man it's been a long time since I tried to game on a 1030, that was a pure nightmare of a time.
Older generation i5 and i7 have a hard time with sleep mode on newer operating systems
Adding cheap keyboard, mouse, WiFi and in this case even camera, is a cheap way to get good reviews. Reason is simple - many people do not know much about the computers. Maybe they had laptop (where everything mentioned is already included) or just a phone before that. Now they got everything they need (except display) and they would be pleasantly surprised. On the other hand, lets say that instead all of that seller included 6400 or 1650 GPU. Better performance in games - yes, but you actually need to buy lots of additional stuff to even start gaming. Same with included HDD, better to have it, than not to have it and run out of the space when you install few games.
This looks like someone buying HP Elitedesks for cheap, upgrading them, and selling them. You can put a low profile RTX A2000 in one of these and have a VERY capable gaming machine.
You absolutely can but then you'd be wasting alot of money putting an a2000 which is like more than half the price of this system.
@@fluffypotato7475 maybe a low profile RX 6400 then. Would get some decent gaming done at 1080p. The overall look of what they did with the system here is great.
Would love to be able to purchase the front and side panel only
Since when is Seth Rogen doing tech reviews?
For 300$ you get a brand new laptop with Ryzen 5 5500U, which has around 4x the CPU power and similar graphics performance, while drawing third of the electricity from the socket and you get full hd display for free. It's a terrible deal. The price of such PC is around 100$.
may consider getting this as a christmas gift
3:09 hmmm
depends if you have nothing, then you might look at one of these
if you already have peripherals then there's no reason to look at a bundle at all
unless you're looking at like
NICE bundles
like corsair kits
Would be nice if they would just ship the desktop alone. Or give options for cheap peripherals and or a monitor.
But at that cheap is cheap. Even the desktop alone may not be worth $150-$200 with out shipping.
I'd Rather Pay Less For The Computer And Not Get The Extra Crap With It..... I've Bought 2 SFF Dell Optiplex Computers, 1 Dell Micro Optiplex 7050 Computer, 1 HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini Computer, And 1 Lenovo ThinkCentre M920Q Tiny Computer.... WHICH Means I Have 5 Useless USB Wired Keyboards & 5 Useless USB Wired Mouses...? (Mice....?) - Anyway - Also 4 Stupid $7.00 USB WiFi Dongles - None Of Which I Have A Use For....
Lenovo Actually Came With The Internal M.2 Looking WiFi Card With Antenna Post (No Actual Antenna Though...)
I Use A Wireless Mouse And Keyboard (Logitech) So I Really Don't Need To Get Those With Every Refurbished Computer....
Also - They ARE NOT Portable - Not Really - So I Plug In The Internet Cable Instead Of WiFi....
I use an optical audio for my soundbar setup for my office pc
I would recommend this to a friend for a paperweight.
Love your videos so much
tbh for a ddr3 system i would never pay over $300 for one its too old and i would rather just get something used that isnt that old and performs much better for the same price.
❤❤❤jellybelly was here love the cheap build 😂🎉jackson big back some maple syrup for me
No one told me that review video have jumpscare in it 💀
Out of all of the pc's that you guys sell. I wouldn't sell this one for much. Honestly, take out the 1030 and put a rx550 or 580 in there, then sell it. At least that's what I would do to try to give someone an actually usable gaming pc.
I know this was before it, but how about an update video trying to get starfield playable on this thing
not physically possible.
The case looks actually kinda cool, unfortunate the components are pretty weak.
The GeForce GT 1030 was an entry-level graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on May 17th, 2017. Built on the 14 nm process, and based on the GP108 graphics processor, in its GP108-300-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12. This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce GT 1030. really old 2017 gpu jikes bad.
Thanks chatgpt
I'd rather have the PC be cheaper than get the garbage peripherals.
