- We found yet another random Amazon PC, this one is from the Amazon renewed store. This system comes with a monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and headset. But something happens that makes this system very hard to recommend.

Jonah do dracula flow😂
nah he should do drugs
@@Mr_3Ali stop it... get some help...
Yes
at least dye your hair with the massive widows peak.
Ya
Those front panels look cool but they must turn the PC into an oven by covering up all of the front ventilation
I don't think a 65w CPU 53w GPU that normally runs at a lower wattage gets too hot. Less power than most gaming laptops.
@@lurch789 CPU is in the 50s, it would the opposite if the front panel was the issue, no the GPU being right on top of the power supply is the issue. Having no side panel might help don't think the front panel is the issue in any sort of way.
most of the office pcs like that don’t have actual ventilation up front
Reversing Hot ("Live" on your diagram) and Neutral shouldn't damage the power supply. The outlets in the old house I live in were all wired 'backwards' when we moved in, and PCs plugged into them ran fine. We did switch them over to the correct way and add ground eventually, though.
That is true. Something else has happened to the computer.
Its AC current so it does not matter whatsoever for current flow...just safety reasons
Finally - you uploaded the video yesterday and deleted it afterwards, just as I wanted to watch it😀 Cheeky! Can't wait to watch it now.
I'm an owner of many Dell Optiplex computers and noticing how the front panel of this PC was designed it made me wonder how air was getting inside the PC. Then when it was opened, I realized the intake fan was not even in the right place where it is supposed to be. This is an 8th Gen PC, I own 6th Gen and below, but I'm pretty sure a Fan should still be there.
You guys really make me want to buy and build my first pc, love the atmosphere.
It's really hard to put the Magic Smoke back inside.
That’s what she said! 😂
i love that the environment of this channel is just a bunch of friends having fun unboxing this cheap tech and experimenting w it
That custom front plate covers the space where the air intake fan should be.
9:46 why did his voice sounded glitchy 😂!
I actually really enjoyed this longer episode with all the banter. The smoking PC at the end was just the cherry on top.
isn't that called "content"
surprised I'm the only one commenting about this
but i'm pretty curious on what happened at the end, I was expecting a pc teardown to see what was causing the smoke but no :(
It's not just AMD cards it's pretty much all of them and it's the game causing the studder not the hardware. GN covered this a few days ago. Nvidia cars have the longest frame freezes.
i caught when this was accidentally posted yesterday lol
same
*Everytime I see an office machine I'm like "Here we go again"*
Actually 😂
Price I see is $720 dollars. I can built a pretty damn decent system for less than that and make a profit selling it.
8th Gen i5 Dell Optiplex ($100 - $120 used), 256 GB SSD ($15 new), 1 tb hard drive (likely recycled), RX 6400 low profile ($150 new), extra stick of DDR4 8 GB ($12 used although could be pulled from dead computers), 24 inch monitor (Maybe $90), "e-waste" mouse and keyboard ($20).
I get a total cost of $407 and that is assuming that the computers cost that much and were not bought in giant pallets. The "Bling" is not worth ~$300.
The RX 6400 is not what I would call a keeper. My 2014 gaming laptop's GTX 980M does better at DirectX 12 benchmarks.
Rgb/ e waste tax
For $720 I was able to build a R5 5600 and RX 6600 PC with 16gb of ram and 1TB SSD and I was just clicking at random. If you shop around or buy some parts second hand you might get much better deal than this office->gaming PC conversion that might or might not catch on fire.
I didn't add any keyboard, audio, mouse and monitor to the price but then again you can buy better mouse and keyboard combo for 30$ and monitor you can in theory buy second hand with better quality.
@@JerziTBoss exactly
@@JerziTBoss I did something no so dissimilar a few months ago for my odd job computer. I think it would be little cheaper now. I use the computer for jobs when I use my gaming PC for gaming. Only item important in this discussion that I recycled was an old server case from NZXT. I guess maybe add $40 to $50 for a new case? No tax is included either.
Ryzen 5 5500 = $90.
Asrock B550 Wireless = $100.
Team Group 1 TB M.2 = $40.
Team Group 16 GB ram (2 x8) = $35.
EVGA GTX 1070 (used) = $100
EVGA 600 watt gold PSU = $75
Total cost $440 before tax. $490 adding $50 for a case.
Have $250 for a keyboard, mouse, and monitor before matching the $720 cost of the repurposed business machine.
A computer builder might charge you $50 to $100 to build it? Even at $100 labor, still have $150 for keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
Heheehe... that computer's old enough to smoke. 🤣
All issues aside, RX 6400 is a practical limit for OptiPlex builds due to PSU constraints. If you want to use Chinese "RX 580" , you would need to buy new PSU and motherboard adapter. Technically 1050Ti or 1650 should work, but sometimes they do not and they are somewhat more expensive. Either way, this setup would run games from PS4 era without much trouble.
Hey, I’m new to the PC setup trend and want to purchase something to play GTA RP, maybe Fortnite, do some work on, and in the cheaper end. Do you have any recommendations? My budget is about $600. I know that low, I’m a broke college kid lmao.
This is super weird... One thing you could've tried is to find another sacrificial PC and try the cable on it to see if the PC gets fried as well. What is weird is how the PC behaves but the again if the PSU is even slightly damaged it can send a lot more current than it should down the wire burning the connector.
Seeing though that the PC is modified there might be some damaged wire that is burning.
glad I watched before buying one on amazon, ill go with the $600 build video you put out for my sons xmas gift.
My cousin ordered the Spider-Man gaming pc from you guys he’s hoping it runs real good. I recommend him to you guys so don’t let me down!
It wouldn't shock me if everything together plugged in is drawing too much power plus that cheap power cable doesn't help either.
@@lurch789 the cpu was the i5-9500, which is a 65 watt part as well. There was an NVME drive, plus a hard drive (most hdds are about 20 watts) plus all the other stuff including an aging PSU with not a lot of airflow because of custom front panel/bad design from Dell doesn't help much either. add in graphically intensive games with a bunch of rgb stuff something like was bound to happen eventually. I'm just glad it did not catch fire and nobody was hurt.
It’s now possible to build a complete temu pc they have graphics cards now
It looks like the CPU speed isn't boosting during cs2 like it's locked at 3ghz
i know right.. they really do miss key things like that lately
You didn't wait for Halo to load, it was building shaders, it does it when you first play the game or update GPU drivers.
loading/building shaders either way it was significantly longer than other systems we tested
For 399€ you can get mid range pc build without accesories. Its such a steal
25:19 For Amazon returns just take it to a Whole Foods and they handle all that.
Buying a pre built from y'all soon, hoping to have an amazing experience
That was a "Smoking" good deal you got on that computer lol
Before Halloween starts. We need a pc build battle.
But you both are in the t-Rex blow up outfits. In a small room. With tiny tools. 😂
Pretty sure an inverted cable won't do that unless the power supply is trashy
The only real problem I have with you guys reselling things is you guys are way over pricing them. I mean second gen i5 systems go for under $100 all day every day but you want nearly $200 for one.
i aint gonna lie i kinda like the cheap front panel of that office pc looking chassis 13 yo me would of thought it was the coolest shit ever 36 year old me can still appreciate that
I just built that same pc optiplex 7030 core i5 9th gen and a xfx rx 6400 and it's not a bad little pc ,my nephew love it. It dose run hot. Thank god no magic smoke so far.😅
I bought a similar setup from Amazon. Ironically, I bought it with no intention of gaming. I need a home desktop for when I work from home and to do some video editing and photoshop. Works great for that.
What a smoking Deal.
over 700 usd is a deal?
Edit: Just watched the testing... and I get it. 😅
@@SpoonHurler for something a lot better than the one in the video.
@@floydlooney6837 where's the one in the video?
The Amazon link is in the description, the price has been raised since they made the video. This was a good deal for about $500 but for $700 they aren't as good.
I see no evidence it was ever 458 usd... and there are zero customer reviews. This has scam written all over it.
(edit: actually finished the video... *sigh* )
its ac power. theres no such thing as wired backwards
Just found this channel and ordered a 480 pc yesterday it arrives in 3 days ...and yall got me worried now lol
For halo there is a known issue with the default virtual memory settings that causes Halo to load super slow. It's a 5 min fix, has nothing to do with hardware in most cases.
noooooo hahaha I cant even believe someone wired it like that ....
I smoked a board tonight, can relate. Surprisingly it's fine now.
23:55... Literally Toasty Bros... ✌😁
Hottest deal going... well, maybe going is the wrong word.
Dear Lumos, it's actually not bad if it doesn't catch fire. The GPU is lying right on top of the PSU, that is probably not ideal for thermal reasons. Obviously use an SSD instead of a 14 year old mechanical drive, lol.
It would also be nice if they didn’t focus on mid rgb products/ front panel to jazz it up too
In this episode:
The toasty bros almost became the roasted bros.
Damn that's a massive headset dent
Finally, i can watch the rest of the video :)
Hey guys,DO keep us informed, how it ended with the Amazon!!
15:13 This Camera Angle Is So Much Better
Love ur vids keep it up and im getting in to pcs👍👍
Jonah do Dracula Flow
The magic smoke can never be put back.
smokey smokey that pc brokey!
Thee' RS3 MACHINE. lol.
That one already has toasty in the name.😂
Do you know guys know where to get the front RGB panel?
Bro on floor good? XD
Replace an open airflow - diamond design with rgb. Where is the air meant to get in?
Another banger upload! Keep up the work Toasty Bros!
What if I told you what we have in this box is a bomb
Why is monitor so bright and lack of contrast?
What if it was a bomb Toasty Bros lol?
How do you show that thing that shows fps and other stuff
I have those same speakers, LOL! They don't have the MTG logo on them though.
i would love to see more frontlines
Raise your hand if you love the Toasty Bros ✋

I like the videos for sure. But I don't understand their business. They just buy shitting computers, put it on a video, then resell it on their website? I don't get it. Surely I'm wrong.
@@davycornell8715 The videos produce income for them. They then sell the PC on their website to make more money. Buying these cheap things usually pay for themselves more than twice over. They also sell more PCs than they show in the videos, the ones they film are just those they think are going to pull in the most views (and therefore the most ad money).
What is the best cheap monitor?
"December 13, 2009" If it had been January 18, 2010, I would have been as old as that pc
You are real player after you get some fire from your computer and still keep going at it.
Imagine ordering a pc, then getting an incendiary IED..
The storage is a whole year older than me
reddragon keyboards are AMAZING for the price you cant beat a redragon IMO had mine for 3 years not a single thing wrong with it still sounds great just dont buy the non mechanical ones mines got a metal chassis was like 50 bucks
hate to say this was my first pc but glad to say that i now play on a monster pc with a 3060ti and a ryzen 7 5700g
what was the graphics card?
If the magic smoke escapes, send it back
A whole set up for that price I can see for some people but for most I would suggest getting a ps5 or xbsx for the price n get a cheap monitor instead of this for better performance n visuals
I like sleeper build
RIP "Big Brain" PC... The brain was sabotaged by the faulty power cord. We will remember you forever. HDD 2009-2023 RIP
the boost clock on teh cpu should be going to 4.40 mgz so ur loosing tons of perforamce
Where did you get the mouse pad?
also why was it smoking???????
You guys should try gta rp on some of the pc you guys test out
bro you finally bought my pc
Can this set up handle New World? or games similar to that ? Day Z
People say a skinny pc ain’t goof
30$+ for a windows key a horrible deal fr
Challenge Build a computer on which you can play Titanfall 2 at 200 fps for 500 dollars 😊

Wow did start off nice just bad was bad give little thinking about it now maybe I should just use an old body like that we modify everything😂😂😂 old office pc lol 😂😂😂
love how every time they test with a shooter, they complain about all the things that can also just be the players fault. I mean really? your losing because you need anti aliasing?
Am I having a stroke... did I not watch this yesterday?
