Is it a pick-me-up? If so, good pricing. The ram and ssd alone are worth more than the cost. If you intend to hold on to it for the long haul though, that's a worse idea. It has no upgrade paths, and all upgrades involve other upgrades to the point where starting fresh with 400-600 dollar build is better.

I used to use hot swap bays. It made it easy for sharing files with a friend of mine, who also had one. Of course this was long before there were even 1gb thumb drives. No need for them once the size of thumb drives grew. This was late 90's/early 2000's.

I've been loving your videos! I cannot believe you guys are so chill about everything that happened to you recently with someone robbing your store. You guys are incredible! Keep up the great work! 💯👍🏻 You guys are true professionals!
holy shit i swear to god im not lying when i say this i wrote that last comment at the beginning of the video and then when you unboxed it i saw its actually THE EXACT SAME pc im talking about. same case and weird ass clear case fans and everything! that's crazy they must've made a lot of these.
This was basically the pc I built for myself in 2015. I played through all of the witcher3 with that cpu and an evga single fan gtx950. Other favorites at the time were Minecraft and warframe
I once back in 2017 found a deal for a Phenom II based PC for around $50. I spent on upgrades and daily drove that b*tch for awhile. I Regarding the fan, It's easy to fix seized fans with some weed whacker motor (or any) oil, by lubricating the spindle. pop the blades off, use a q-tip, or syringe, pop it back in and spin em. I've done this with some fans I got in a trade with an older build.
6 bay icy dock on my TrueNAS server loaded with SSDs. Got sick of having to pull the system out to get at internal drives if one started to fail. So yes, big fan of hot swap bays. Though I use it for easy access. I still power down before swapping out a bad drive.
I have an ibuypower with a fx-6300 from back in the day. Upgraded the 1050 2gb to a 1650 4gb and upgraded ram to 16gb. With Bazzite linux on it the rig plays everything I used to play on windows just fine.
What hurts this pc the most is single core ipc. Same weakness as when fx was current and competing with intel core 3rd and 4th gen. I remember an i3-4130 slapped the snot of a fx-8350 in terms of average fps and 1%lows.
run 1600 by 900 or 1440 x 900 or 1360by768 even if monitors 1080p on older cpus for fortnite it makes the game run way smoother and does not make it look much worse 82% res scale also helps.
I have a very similar system: AMD FX-6300 Zotac GTX 950 Asrock 970A-G/3.1 motherboard SSD 960 PRO NVMe M.2 512GB (yes the MB has an NVMe slot!) Two 8GB DDR3-1600 DIMMs DVD Drive Memory card reader Semi-modular PSU NZXT Source 210 case I am not a gamer so it works fine for my needs. Its not my primary system, might upgrade it to a AMD FX-8320E for the right price.

On something like this, I'd be taking it a part first.... clean it up and put it back together..... upgrading the ram on the way and putting in the hard drive(s). definetly a recycled PC... they gave it away, and all you paid for was the shipping!
I just found one the other day. Found an Alienware X51 R3 with the i7-6700, 16gb ram, missing hd, and a gtx 960 with original power brick for $95 with shipping
Amd FX was a great CPU, I built at least 15 of them and personally used one for 4 months as well I always go Asus 89% of the time and particularly with those AMD FX i used Asus board and that it was a great combo just both worked together perfectly and quite fast as well i had the GTX 760 OC in most of the 15 builds and few had GTX 660 if I remember correctly. im quite certain even in 2024 it's still a very capable system and the 900 series GTX overall a great combo everything!! $77 shiiter with tax ay yo what a hell of a score!! Just the 900 series GTX sells for 50 all day!! Even 65
bought one from my local gamexchange for $124 without knowing a single spec about it solely because i could not pass up what could've been an amazing deal. it was not. fx 6300 cpu 4gb ddr3 ram. rx460 gpu. it was trash and now serves as a stand for my actual pc
this would be a good computer to get if you have other better parts that you can put in from previous builds that died for various reasons, like lets say the psu died on one and you can just transplant a better CPU, provided you got one that's compatible with the mobo, and a better gpu, then you might have something that might be able to keep up with newer games, if you're looking for something that runs older games just fine? then this pc might be great for those looking to play some classics.
yall idk if i did good or not but i bought a T5820 workstation with an xeon w-2125 and 16gb of ram 2tb storage for 150 and a gtx 980ti for 40 bucks. so far its running games i play very nicely

i cant even find a 4gb gpu on ebay for that cheap. ive found 1 listing for an rx470 8gb for $59.99 but its coming from china. this was a good find for the $ tho. Im running the fx8150 8 core in my system and it does great with the rtx 2060 12gb.
Toasty bro who ever sold you this should be publicly named and shamed. No cable management, and more fluff than PC. As a follow up video, could you demonstrate the upgrade potential, and disclose the cost
Hot swap bays where the cheapest and fastest way to move heavy files. Hell, it probably still is because in general a hdd in a hotswap bay is faster then a usb based external drive or flashdrive. I installed a hotswap bay to my girlfriends computer and it made it real conveint to just swap in a whole hd full of movies.
