This MUST be a Scam... "Treasure Box" Gaming PC

I'd shower before making a video of I was Linus

Every enterprise dell and hp box I've seen (and I've been in corporate IT for decades) has a permeate Windows license. If you're getting a used PC, an enterprise version is going to be the best.

This is the kind of PC you buy for Grandma and Grandpa. Their only going use for it the internet and it has distracting lights to show off to their friends.

A gt 1030 aint half bad all things considered these types of systems usually half some sort of shitty fermi card

I have a an older i7 office computer with upgraded dd3 ram and a cheap GPU. It runs my racing sim well so all I want to do is make it look cool 😅

If you can get these at a good price and throw another $80 to $100 into it they make a perfect gift for a neice or nephew getting into gaming

This type of pc now is dead, ryzen 3 4350g - ryzen 5 5600g prebuild is $350-$450 in the market now

IDK about the 490 dollar one being a good value when that's about what it would have cost me in parts to build my home theater PC which is infinitely more powerful with a R5 4500, 16GB of ram and a RTX 2070 Super and has no issues playing newer titles if I wanted to,(like if it were something I'd rather use a controller for).

i do have a dell optiplex i got for free with some ram and a gpu put into it and the top of it is very scuffed for whatever reason

It prolly wouldn't be bad if you could fit a decent gpu in, but even then...you could spend a lil more and get far better results, although I do wish more modern pcs had disk drives for movies and what have you XD

So are these pieces of shit worth buying as a temp computer? My idea is to get one because I need something now, and wait until the hardware I really want is available or cheaper? I shan't be doing any gaming btw.

man is so good he can play without using his hands

I bought an old optiplex with a 7th gen intel CPU for my first plex server for $40 on ebay and then realized the benefits of recent gen quicksync for transcoding and got a cheap mini PC with an N100

I work at a tech repair shop and the amont of Hajan ssd's fail is crazy. Like no reliablility, buy a Crucial BX500 or a Kingston A400 never had one fail.

It's not a secret, since channels like tech yes city, ltt and others started spreading fancy ways of building "gamer" pcs with the massive chinese bulk of optiplex servers with cheap xeons, this became a market on its own, and within each market there are even more ways to sweeten the pot even more like these makeup companies.
After all it's a cool business model, they buy them for like 20/30 bucks each (advantages of bulk buying) and end up selling them for 300 each.

ZOV

I literally tore apart the exact same pc in my computer class at school and then I put the entire thing back together by myself

By avoiding e-waste, and helping countries and people in needs, I'm genuinely happy with these.

Hell, an SFF office PC with GPU seems surprisingly tempting as they fit in one of my favorite suitcases and could be a very nice LAN party PC.

Dell PC Treasure Box RGB Desktop Computer Intel Quad Core I5 up to 3.6G, 16G, 512G SSD, WiFi & Bluetooth, RGB Gaming PC Keyboard & Mouse, DVD, Windows 10 Pro $150 usd amazon

that is crap, we have a local store selling these without the glitter for 75 bucks CAD, they also have 6th gen i5 5050's for $150 only, and i put a gt 1030 nvidia gpu in it and its now a pretty good computer for Robox and light gaming.

I got my lad the Lenovo version of the fist one for £30. Spent another £243 and he's got an i5-4570, 2gig nvme, 16gig of ram, and a gtx1660 super. In a bigger case obviously. Beats his friends systems for less than £300. The old office boards are quite good. You need a few workarounds but that's fun as well.

😂 i bought a 9020 sff a couple years ago refurbed, and i have to say quad core 3.2 ghz running at 3.45 ghz is okay . I didn't intended this to be a gaming pc but more for multi tasking , streaming , video editing type use . Ffwd today and 8g of added ram a 1050 i gpu and this machine plays medium demanding games no problem. I get between 60 to 85 fps on american truck sim at ultra graphics settings ..so for budget minded gamers who want to indulge in gaming with limits of high end graphic pigs these dell refurbs work well, just make sure you want to deal with a sff case as i did make a full size gpu card fit by removing the psu with a open case operation ..it works but looks like shit .

The second one is an amongus pc and I cant unsee it now

my computer has only 480 gigs of king fast ssd and it still can boot csgo fater that that thing

Do you have a link to the TecDale PC?

The KingFast 1TB SSD has proven itself to be a horribly unreliable/failure-prone POS. And, all to save a few bucks over many well known but very reliable models/brands. What a shame !

Lowkey they actually look cool

i kinda want a remote controled keyboard, i hate software controlled rgb running in background

One reason those two USB ports might have been covered: They might have been (mis-)diagnosed as faulty and by opting to not letting the customer know that the ports are even there, there is no chance of overselling the computer's capabilities on that front.

I may be a snob but as soon as I see somethings connected via Molex I'm n ot interested.

I took a optiplex and used the 7th gen cpu and the ram and added a rx 580 and I'd cool

I had one of the small ones, with an i5-2400, I took out the CD drive and put an SSD with an adapter in its place. It was not a very powerful machine, but when I put its GTX1050ti and 16 gb of ram, it became an absolute BEAST. It would have been interesting to try a Noctua heatsink, to see if it would stop sounding like a plane about to take off, and add a mini front fan, but well ....

Honestly, for 300 bucks its amazing.

For 300 buckos, that shit is pretty lit i have to admit

Generally, when they put fancy dressing..ie...lights...etc..on something, it generally sucks, and you're better off saving up for something better

This video is really making me rethink some things, as I used to refurb/upgrade and sell used office pcs online and local, and now I do a lot of work with my cricut, and can easily cut vinyl... those old cases would look great with a vinyl covering

Guessing these companies were buying out-dated workstation computers from the businesses in Toronto. Then, they "refurbish" them and sell them to the world. Lol.

When is dbrand doing the glitter stickers?

Why not a mini pc thats like 350bucks?

Hi

This is a huge industry in Southwest Asia and Southeast Asia - business owners that are starting out buy a lot of re-furbished machines

So good at csgo that you kept playing when you left the keyboard.

You are a 🍑!!!

gg is cay

Oh wow I was eating and the set up looked very similar to Advanced skyline technology or the new name they now go by now Sky Tech Global. I was like no it couldn't be them and when Linus said their name I'm coughed because I used to work for them. Well it's interesting hearing Linus review their products.
