I bought an refurbished NZXT BLD gaming pre-built from eBay and ended up getting a surprise.

Randy must have also sent a 9100f/1050ti to someone who paid for this system and that guy is PISSED right now. :)
I was thinking about exact same thing :)
Luckily ebays buyer protections are really good
@@flamingscar5263 sometimes to good..
@@kaymigiwa Yeah, if you're enough of a piece of shit thief you can return scam just about everything with eBay's "buyer protection". They will almost never side with their sellers in any dispute.
@@kaymigiwa So good that sellers have no scam protections.
I actually work for a system refurbisher for schools and businesses. That first boot into Windows is a built-in admin account to download drivers and install software before a user is created. It's not a bad install, just an unfinished one!
Edit: If you're at the "Choose your Country" screen, press "CTRL+SHIFT+F3" and it'll reboot into said admin account. It's very useful if you're building a computer for a friend and want to pre-install certain programs for them!
Well it's in audit mode which is usually the way to prep a system image. Although it's kind of an outdated method to use for most enterprise users. But yeah they haven't put it back into OOBE mode.
You are a legend
I'll have to remember that
Audit Mode
Yep and the problem occurred because they just unplugged it rather than shutting it down or it was unplugged after it went to sleep or locked.
Weird stuff happens. I once ordered a used Amiga 500 system off of EBAY for $500 C.O.D. So the ups driver delivers it at my door and leaves. Never collects the money. It took me 3 days of arguing with the company before they finally looked it up and discovered they made a mistake and it was a C.O.D. shipment. Long story short, they told me that since I was the first one who was honest & reported it, I could just keep it as a reward for my honesty. Still have it.
Seller probably recognized Dawid and thought “Ohh, I’ll send him something much better than he bought, then he’ll give me really good promotion and feedback!”
Dawid: “So I bought this PC from some rando online.”
Randy: 😢
Na we ordered it on a secret shopper account :)

@@GewelReal lmao
Really nice of you to message the seller back to let him know. I wonder what he'll say! Hopefully it hasn't put him in too much trouble for the work he's doing
I'm thinking the customer support of the seller is so bad that Dawid will end up keeping it lol
@VERY EVIL PERSON FROM ILLUMINATI yeah, that's a good law. It's meant to prevent somebody from sending you something and then demanding that you pay for it. Apparently it used to be a thing where scammers would send something valuable, leave it for a while, and then contact the recipient with a huge bill with the justification that "well you used the item so you have to pay for it". Pretty damn scummy. Having said that it's not usually quite as simple as "yay free stuff". You often have to make a genuine effort to rectify the issue, and return the item if possible. You just can't be forced to pay for it or be held legally liable for the delivery. Obviously this depends hugely on where you live... Some countries probably have no such protection, and others likely have very different rules.
@@veryevilpersonfromillumina5893 here in The Netherlands, if a seller sends you a more valuable product than you had ordered, you are obliged to return it if the seller asks for it. Logically, the seller is responsible for the costs of the return shipment and sending you the correct product.
Only if a company sends you a product without any request from your side, you are allowed to keep it under any circumstance. Would you however decide to return the product anyway, the original sender will still be obliged to pay for costs of the return shipment.
(for those interested, above is based on Dutch law: article 7:7 Burgerlijk Wetboek (civil code of The Netherlands))
@VERY EVIL PERSON FROM ILLUMINATI Might be why, when i ordered 3 cables and got 40 the seller said keep them. And postage.
@@diizzii 🤡
I've bought quite a number of refurbished PCs from eBay/Amazon/Newegg marketplace sellers and in a few instances, a better system arrived than what was in the listing. It was always the same case/chassis, but it might be a generation newer, have a higher-spec CPU, more RAM, and/or an SSD instead of a hard drive. I got in touch with the seller the first time it happened- the system had an i7 for the price of an i3, and twice as much ram as I'd ordered. They told me there was no mistake, they simply send out the same model PC with higher spec components if the one ordered is out of stock.
Thanks for making consistent, very high quality videos Dawid! The quality of your videos for how often you post them is insane!
How is Randy still in business after mess ups like these
Randy don't care, profit is all Randy cares about, whether you get the right system or not. And with eBay fees and maybe even PayPal fees Randy will be out of business in no time... unless... these machines are from a "gray" market shall we say, the back of a Penske truck?
Every Randy is a new Randy so Randy is simultaneously in business and out of business. Kind of like me and my life in my box.
The Randy Paradox!
@@schrodingerthecat Schrödinger's Randy
@@aelaan12 Randy can probably afford the rare mistake since he is probably flush with cash for selling POS i3 9100 & gtx 1050ti pc's for $580 Cdn. Why would Dawid buy such a POS pc for the price to begin with? $580 should be the price for the used pc that he got. (I know Nvidia is keeping their cards prices high.)
I'm confused as to why randy managed to tie the cables down NEXT to the actual cable routing channel that NZXT has built into the case.
bang up job, randy.
well Randy did send him a rtx 3060 not a gtx 1050 so yeah🤣
@@raven4k998 fair
What an honest and upstanding dude Dawid is!
Its probably pretty easy to be honest when you've got 10 other computers and this is purely for entertainments sake.
Good of you for being honest, it may have been a simple error on their part. Happened to me with Amazon once and they just said "hey keep the better crap". A 1050-Ti vs. a 3060-Ti is a hilarious comparison also.
I once ordered a single joystick from Amazon and received a case of them. No regrets. Just meant me AND the boys all got new joysticks.
@@achaerna.6662 you selling any? 😛
Happened to me too, I ordered a PC that should have had a rx550 and an i3 10100 but I received a beast of PC instead... Rtx3060ti and i9
Amazon is so dumb they failed to scan any small package I bought. So if I bought any RAM, NVMEs etc. off of Amazon, they'd always end up being deemed "lost" days later even though I already have them and am using them. And I'm always able to ask for a refund lmao. Thanks for the free stuff, Bezos.
Before screaming 'fraud!' at me, keep in mind I'm only committing fraud against Amazon which works for me. I always buy new, sold & shipped from Amazon themselves. Which means the companies that actually made these parts already got their bucks from Amazon buying in bulk. Only Bezos gets screwed over here.
My coworker isn't a computer guy, but asks basically everyday, "is there a new Dawid video?!" Great stuff for everyone bro!
such a humble man for messaging the customer
*Honest*. But I get what you mean, and that was very good of him 👌
@enrique amaya bot
SFX power supplies can be quite expensive, so that's another win in my opinion. You can swap it out with an ATX PSU and use the SFX in an actual SFF build.
Really awesome if you to let them know of the mistake. Alot of people wouldn't have said anything. Major props!
I wonder if Randy mixed up the Addresses and someone else that ordered a 3060 Ti System got the 1050 Ti system instead? Oops!! LOL!
ohh god big ouch indeed if so...... haha
I googled the model number and looked it up at the beginning of the video and it's called the "starter pro" they sell for $1150 usd. Looks to be all the original parts too.
wow, i paid a lot more for my 3060ti and 5600x build. that is one heck of a deal you ended up with. hopefully the person it was meant to go to, ended up getting this all fixed for them pretty easily and without too much hassle. randy the randos loss, and your gain, since he wont respond to you. haha. thanks for the videos. pure entertainment always. (when I read linode now, it is always in your voice! haha)
"There's a cpu cooler you wouldn't be embarrassed to whip out at a public shower.

Goodness sakes that's one of Dawid's best ones yet 😂🤣
@enrique amaya Hail science
Absolutely 😆
Had me feeling Ozzie Man vibes with that one.
Whip it, Whip it good 😊
I bought a cyberpower prebuilt back in 2017 that came with that foam packing stuff. They also had to leave the power connectors unplugged put had a note inside to let the end user know to plug it in before you do anything else
There's a test I would love for you to do if possible. My friend recently bought an H5 flow and his glass panel was cracked in half... Tempered glass isn't supposed to crack, it shatters. I've never seen a case do this yet and because of that fact, his refund isn't going very smoothly with Canada Computers because they claim it's impossible.
I'm kinda excited to see Dawid pinning a message here about the update, it's been an hour yet.... hopefully the guy from ebay isn't screwed(first time for me to say).
I feel like the seller might've looked you up when buying the system and purposefully upgraded you in hopes it would drive your audience to buy from him in hopes of also getting the "wrong" system
Exactly the thought that first came to mind lol smart move if you ask me...
If this is the case you should name drop him Dawid to throw the guy a bone.
ah just like the "escobar phone" scam way back..
But he got no promotion.
Well then they did a terrible job looking him up, because if they watched any if his other ebay videos they would know he does not promote the seller
Loved the XTREME CLOSE-UP spamming the Del key to enter BIOS 😂
Back in 2012 I ordered a 256gb Samsung SSD on Amazon. Got a BOX with 5 of them. :D
5:56 You can use Sysprep mode to install all drivers and stuff so that the user can create his own account. If you install windows and press crtl shift f3 in the setup screen this mode will open. The seller forgot to close Sysprep mode by clicking ok in the Sysprep window.
I died a little bit on the inside when you used a screwdriver on the thumbs screws 🤣
the fact the advert was over in the first 45 seconds was top tier.!

@enrique amaya DO NOT use this platform for religious proselytization!
Next time I WILL report you.
It is absolutely presumptuous and infuriating to assume you know anything about my religious point of view. If you enter that discusssion with bias towards one particular man-made god, I do not have the time of day for you. It's way more complicated that you could possibly imagine, (and Jesus has nothing to do with it).

Holy f-ck. Using autoerotic asphyxiation to describe the lack of airflow in OEM prebuilts had me in tears laughing. This is why I subscribed. These hilarious euphemisms.
How do you continue to consistently put out good content? I love all of your videos and none of them bore me. How do you put out so much good content?
I'm wondering if Randy purchases open-boxed/damaged PCs that were sent back to assemblers like NZXT and resells them. Probably paid NZXT next to nothing for it, and he's likely not at much if any loss.
Linode must have made so much money thanks to Dawid.
I really love your sense of humor. You are like the 60’s Batman of RUclips tech channels 😊
same man lol
I still maintain that the Alienware from eBay might not be broken. Alienware Ryzen AM4 boards are only compatible with 1 generation. If it came with Zen 3… the. You cannot use a Zen 2 CPU on it. In your video, you only tried 1 CPU… that might have been the wrong generation.
Holy shit that's some next level bs
Yeah, Dell really screwed over Alienware when they bought them. At first, it was just turning them into plastic crap instead of metal. Then they started limiting upgrading by locking the bios down.
@@mattBLACKpunk The unfortunate reality of 5 year socket compatibility. Early motherboards literally didn't have enough memory for every Ryzen CPU.
@@BeerDone yeah I know about the standard size of on board flash being too small some time after gen 3, but 1 gen of support with no possibility of updating bios is 100% on dell
Its the same with intel processors as well and not limited to the alienware line apparently. I know since the company i work with is a dell only house.
Speaking of the peel, just bought an old used case (this model has been discontinued for years) and they *somehow* hadn't done the peel yet.
I almost feel bad for peeling it after all this time. Almost.
The same thing happened to me a while back. I ordered a PC with a R3 3200G and 8GB ram 3200mhz with a 120ssd + 1tb hdd but i instead recieved a PC with a R5 3400G and 16GB 3600MHZ and a 240ssd + 1tb hdd. They had the same case but different internals. This was on AmazonUK.
"Hey man, so the computer you sent wasn't what was on the listing"
"Sorry man, no refunds"
"Wh- Are you sure? I mean, if you don't wa-"
*"I said no refunds"*
"... Okee"
You gotta test it at 1440p. 3060s run it a lot better than people think
Deffo, I'm running a 1080 still at 2k and its mostly good still haha
3060 ti is def a 1440p card
i run a 1080 ti and i run 1440p
Don't know the situation in Canada, but here in Germany you have to report such mix-ups because there is no legally binding contract for the delivered goods. The seller can, at least in theory, reclaim the goods for up to 10 years.
I gotta say, I really love your video's, they make my day! You know how to keep it light and humourous. Keep up the good work!
Dawid even used my secret shopper eBay account so there is no way the seller knew who he was.
Yeah, the way I seem to be is if a seller doesn't message me back within 2-3 days, whatever it is is mine to Keep lol. Some sellers are like that anyway! If they mess up and send a superior product and you're honest about it they'll just say keep it and a lesson learned on their end to pay more attention to what they're sending to which buyer.
I had the exact same situation happened to me when I was purchasing a new graphics card on eBay I was looked at a RX 5500 XT the seller didn't know what they had ended up being a 5600 XT all for $175 a steel.
Why can't I be that lucky LOL. That's one hell of a sellers Whoopsie! LMAO
I remember when I bought a copy of Heroes of Might and Magic 2 for $10 on sale and the lady at the store accidentally put a copy of the newly released Heroes of Might and Magic 3 disc in the case instead! This was totally one of the best things that could have happened to a nerdy 13 year-old in 1999!
Rando that's actually named Randy: "HOW DOES HE KNOW MY NAME?!"
Hell of a deal for under $600, someone done goofed on the shipping lol
It's too good to be true
@@RustedCroaker naw i got a 2080S w/ AIO New in Box for 200 😂it's genuine been running it for months and it rips
Wow, that was an actual decent pc build!
I'd be worried about the ebay sell putting a keylogger or something on that system to steal your info
I thought that too. I reinstalled windows on it before I logged into anything.
Dawid should start his own line of custom dodgy PCs!
@enrique amaya I'm seeing Jesus as more of an AMD fan boi!
Everybody needs a Randy in their life.
This is pretty much how I do thrift shops. The ones that have the ridiculous pricing, usually also don't know when something HAS value. Just keep going.
My local thrift gouges like they are selling new stuff, not crusty junk from the recycling center. and dead peoples clear outs..
They wanted 30USD for a dirty S/H air fryer, because modern and trendy...
Saying that, sitting on the floor unloved and strange, they had a (very nice) 24" HP Business LCD monitor with fully adjustable stand and DP cable for 10USD, got it for 5USD on half price day. Seems a DP cable plug is space alien tech and worthless LMAO.
Pawn shops too. I made a killing selling laptops during the GPU price gouges.
If an ordinary guy experience this they would never contact back the seller
Karma is real.
@@makuIa Technically yes, it would.
An ordinary guy would realize that someone else paid for this and got the potato PC. If they weren't a self-absorbed asshat they'd understand that's not okay.
There is no reason to. If someone sends you MORE than ordered they can't charge you more and that's on them. Only a FOOL, NOT a "good person", would send back an upgrade! This is NOT just some guy doing this to pay for his mom's cancer meds. This is some kinda company who is making big profit over pricing low end systems and clearly they pay so little attention to what they are doing chances are people get ripped off more than they get upgraded for free!
You do NOT own a sell anything if they fuck up in your favor, you only have to say something if you didn't get at least what you paid for!
@@twiztidsidfreak13 You quite literally know none of that to be true and factual.
You sir are a riot! So entertaining, a fun way to learn about computers, thank you!
When he said "Hopefully Randy didn't screw us," all I thought of was that South Park episode where Randy is trying to solve the self-immolation crisis. "We Love you Randy!"
"If you look at the... oopsie." Dawid, the whole PC is an oopsie.
I feel "less dodgy than an Alienware" is a low bar to clear these days.
Crazy, one automatically assumes you were sent a crummier pc. Surprised it was the opposite! Will be interesting to see if the seller responds and what he actually says! Way to be honest n upstanding Dawid!!!!
Gotta love Dawid his 'Punchlines' in all the videos
Dawid im wondering you buy a lot of pc what do you do with them all .. do you resell them >? or do u just have a big storage of computers lol... either way great video.
If this happens in the UK you are legally entitled to keep the upgraded product as the upgrades are covered under our "unsolicited goods" laws, these dictate that the recipient of unsolicited goods become the legal owner upon receipt as long as they are addressed to you. If they are not addressed to you then legally they are the property of the monarch until received by the addressee and opening or keeping them are criminal offences.
maybe randy was feeling generous and threw it in as a late Christmas present lmao
my dude put quite a bit of work into that minecraft linode sponsor piece lmao
Imagine the person who got the wrong PC not even noticing and still able to 'pwn' 'noobs' 'like a boss' in The Sims 4.
My side panel still remains unpeeled 1,5 years after I bought it 🤣🤣🤣
Are those decently large frametime spikes on BF V normal? Never played it before but just looked pretty odd.
11400 and 3060ti are not a good combo? It's what I built for my son to game on, his is running 32gb ram at 3200mhz
I believe the technical term for when that sort of thing happens is 'serendipitous larceny'.
that minecraft server is crazy, love that
I don't peel my side cases or screens as the day after I do they end up getting scratched by the ghost that lives in my house.
So they remain on until. A they get gross. B They naturally fall off. C when I no longer have to do anything with it.
Frosted case side actually looks nicer with the amount of RGB I have case wise it's the one your cat picked in another video. :)
I bought a old broken NES off of eBay for parts or to replair(I've got 4 NESs). A SNES showed up. I contacted the seller and he said that was supposed to go to a different buyer and he messed up. I sent the SNES back. The seller refunded me my money and still sent me the NES for returning the SNES.
You know that 99.5% of people wouldn't never have never mentioned back to the builder for having received something way better that what was expected ? Your an honest dude rare thing nowadays !
okay but too be fair, this guy can afford pretty much any PC he wants, it's not like he NEEDS a 3060 when he can afford to buy 5 4090s and write it off as a business expense
The anemic psu in every prebuild makes my skin crawl. Yes the hack job assembly and mismatch components are annoying but even once all of that is sorted, whould you by a hyper car and put a 9v battery in it and hope it is enough power to support crucial components?

during the gpu shortage i bought a broken not booting asus gpu where i checked the the serial number and it was under warranty so i was going to rma it. I could not find any problems of that gpu, sometimes good surprises happen
Any updates on Randy over a year later? Did you get any response from them?
I feel like this show should be called Dawid hates tech stuff
I enjoy seeing Will Wheaton unpacking PCs
"System disabled" message is major red flag. Randy is a delivery guy and stole that PC, then copied wrong specs from the net. Oops!
Nah. Just accidentally left it in OOBE mode
we demand more prebuilt videos
I sort of had this happen with my pots and pans on ebay.
Over the course of 3 months, I bought 1 400 dollar pan (MSRP) and 2 200 dollar pans (MSRP). Because I got the wrong 200 dollar pan, repeatedly, he ended up giving me a refund...for the 400 dollar pan that I bought months ago. So for the price of 1 damaged pan, I have 3 pans. And after all of that labor, I don't think he actually managed to fix his issue with packaging up the wrong pans.
plot twist: Randy turned out to be Dawid, he sent himself the wrong computer
So it looks like the seller left the System in Audit Mode, where you can mess around with things in Windows without setting up an account, useful for making sure drivers and such are on a PC you plan to sell as a one-off. (If there were more you might as well make an image). Hit OK on the little popup (leave the options unchanged) and it should restart the system and go back to the initial setup. Audit mode also tends to get upset about waking back up from sleep/hibernation, hence the message about the disabled account.
youtube sucks until dawid uploads
what is the name of that mouse on your intro? the left handed mmo mouse. I can only use my left arm to game and my only option to game is with the razer naga left handed edition. I would like to find out but /I looked everyehere and cant find it .
This may sound crude but i would not have said a word about it LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
Surprised the CPU heatsink had thermal contact; looked more than just a little tweaked. Also cringed a bit when the board flexed back into shape removing the first pillow. Oh well, bonus components that work are nothing to complain about - esp. since there's no comment here so I guess it's not worth their time (?)
Imagine the person who bought this pc from him getting yours 😂
I assume NZXT got a great deal on those old Deepcool tower coolers that were much cheaper than using NZXT's own tower coolers.

What is the name app that shows you the gpu/cpu usage of the game you are playing?
here back in 2018 or 19 i ordered a laptop off fleabay, it was a refurbished, very low spec, paid like 200 or 250 for it, and when i received it, i was absolutely blown away by what i had received, it was a brand new dell g7 15. i went to message seller about it, and the seller was no longer on flebay. so i received a 1500 laptop for 200 or 250. ohh and yes it had a full dell warranty as-well.
Better CPU and GPU. Nice little system you got there for the money. I am guessing that still no word from the Randster. Perhaps he was trolling you and decided to give you a better system to see what you would do. Probably not expecting you to get back to him so he could get back to you and say he made a mistake. But I guess he never realised how honest you really are and it took him by surprise.
