I Bought An "RGB Custom Built Gaming PC" from Etsy.com... 

Finally a PC that makes my ancient 2009 Dell feel good about itself.

Stumbled across one of your vids. Now I can’t stop watching them. Great sense of humor and energy!

I seriously expected you to open the box and it be a computer hand carved out of a block of wood with colored bead bracelets for the 'RGB'. To be honest, it might have made it worth the money if it had been hand carved.

"being choked out hard, hope it was consensual" :D

David what happened is some teenager just went into his or her local school and just yoinked a computer and sold it on Etsy.

That's the most jovial I've seen someone after they have quite clearly been ripped off.

PS2 ports are actually really useful as they hit the CPU with information before USB does. Very useful for troubleshooting, tuning, etc. It's actually pleasant when you get a PS2 connector on modern motherboards.

Dawid just skipped checking the Ram config to save himself from going mad

you should review a friendship bracelet

"An UwU port" Perfect for your everyday friendship Etsy PC.

I've always been very curious about what the sellers actually say when you confront them about the obvious crappy pcs

3:22 I have that same graphics card in the system that I built! The GPU shortage hit some like a brick wall at 60 mph.

"Follow me on whichever Social media you don't hate" XD

Last time i was this early Dawid actually bought a good prebuilt Edit : getting these many likes and comments is not what I expected for what is essentially a LIE

dude your timing on low key jokes is mint.. love the show lol

“Whoa, that’s a snug fit! Although, not quite as snug as you’d like, actually.” Heh, heh.

Hahaha “made by an Etsy” - Dawid clearly knows how Etsy works 🤣

Brb, gonna game on the Optiplex under my desk while watching this Also that Fornite laughing was infectious

The reason the pc's rgb fan didn't make any noise was because it wasn't plugged in to the motherboard.

For those wondering, Etsy has LOTS of actually great products. I get almost all my vinyl/decals for my car there, along with some parts people make that aren't sold elsewhere, and have only had a good experience. PC stuff? Ehhh I dunno. But don't let this experience make you think the entire website sucks, there is some great stuff there for that niche stuff you can't find elsewhere.

I usually pay 200 for shipping on all my friendship bracelets, I dont see the big deal

HAHAHA braided friendship bracelets, so true though. No matter how rough my day is going you always seem to make me laugh Dawid. Keep it up man your the best!

As soon as I saw the display port adapter, I guessed it was an optiplex 😅

This man's humor is on another level

Again your videos continue to amaze me -nice videos Dawid!

I would recommend turning on the frametime graph in msi afterburner, as then everyone will be able to visualize the lag spikes

LOL I love how you can clearly tell at 4:18 that the fan is stuck in place and not spinning

Great vid and good to see vids posted often. Please keep it up Dawid.

So much laughter but no Old Laughing Man meme thumbnail. You, sir, have officially learned restraint.

Etsy and Craigslist boutta fight for the best used prebuilt belt on PPV July 17th.

Your humor keeps me coming back keep it up brotha 😂💪🏾

I am emotionally pained that you opened it up before turning it on to see what happens :P I wish you had just plugged it in and gone full send because of the suspense we were building up to

Man, I expected around $200 tops for that pc, but over 300 is bonkers By the way, I actually assembled a very similar pc (well, a 990,but it's basically the same), 8gigs of ram, an E3-1220, and a R5 340, for under $100 a year ago, it's insane how expensive that got

From dealing with a lot of those Dell systems, I'm pretty certain the only thing he's done is mess up the cable management to fit the RGB 😅

Also the fan under the dvd drive is the original OEM dell fan, which can't be unplugged 'cause the system will refuse to boot without it.

Love your content dawid! Remember try to keep your intro the same ! The part where your about to touch the block with your finger always makes me laugh

"This fan under there being choked out hard....I hope it's consensual" Yup I spit a little coffee out onto my keyboard with that one! (cleans keyboard)

I would have looked at that shipping price, laughed, then cancelled my order. Some people charge ridiculous shipping on eBay as well.

Dude, gotta say, love that shirt. That's one of my favorite paintings.

You laughing at 7:30 continuously made me think of Ben Stiller laughing non-stop at the end of one of Limp Bizkit's albums XD

"an UwU port" Love it.

The names you call VGA Ports lmfao, I died.

As soon as you pulled out the display port to hdmi adaptor I knew what was about to happen.

The combo looks so matching! No bottlenecks

I used to work on these at a refurbish company, we generally worked with 3rd gen intel stuff, a lot of the business practices were legal grey area at best

Then there's my prebuilt box from Newegg that was 50lbs and I had to drag into the house over a period of three minutes

God, I loved your trippy Fortnight experience so much!

What comes to mind immediately are the HAF cases from Cooler Master. Also an honorable mention for my still in use as a server 17 years later CM Stacker.

What I'm taking away from this is that Dawid isn't as old as I thought... were you actually still in highschool in 2012?

"Here we've got a fan being choked out hard. Hopefully it's consensual" - spat crumbs.

"We've got a mesozoic period port" killing me softly over here

5:58 I have never seen GTAV clouds look that bad. Looks like a unity game lol.

I clicked on this vid faster that my dad abandoned me

I found one of those in the recycling bin at work. Only a bit better specced.

I actually like that "airflow effect" on the front, it looks just like Star Wars

“Look at those frame drops, it really helps you nail down those headshots”😂😂

Love this guys videos. Come for the computer but stay for the comedy and history lessons.

I sold a Compaq with a Phenom II X4 B95 and a GTX 1650 with a 128Gb SSD, a 2Tb HDD, and 16Gb of DDR3, with upgraded fans (I even did a cutout for an extra one) for $300. Unlike what you wound up with, this thing was a 1080p tank. It was thermally excellent, barely audible, and looked fairly nice 🙂 I was told my price was high, but at the time the 1650 was going for $350 used. I'd put too much work into it to part it out, so that's how things shook out. Great video, you're entertaining and informative as ever.

I love these pre-built videos more than any linus video.

So I guess the molex power plug stuck into the 'RGB' fan didn't seem to affect the fan noise. Either that, or it stopped the fan blades from turning.

Would have loved to see a tear down and that fan stuffed under the CD drive etc etc

About to buy this beast. Wish me luck in my e-sport career.

There's a guy a town over that actually mods a window into the lid. I've actually cosidered getting that done to something like an EliteDesk, drop in my 1030 (hopefully 1650 / 3050) later and keep it as an HTPC.

I actually checked when this video was published once the spec sheet came up

You are thinking outside the box when making videos - That's why i'm still here watching it. Good, fun entertaining content! I still want to know why you have like british accent of sorts when you are (i think) Canadian? :P

Hey I was watching your twitch channel when you found this!

Holy shit. I refurb PCs and I usually sell that same system with a 256GB SSD for about two hundred bucks locally. I am so moving my operation to Etsy. Thanks Dawid, I had no idea I was leaving so much money on the table.

Instant buy! Great quality and packaged very well for a $500 brick.

Dawid needs a pure comedy channel. No PCs whatsoever. Just describe things and rip on them. 😂

WOW! I bought a small form factor Dell Optiplex for my mom on FB marketplace for internet and word processing. I paid somewhere around $100 to $120 bucks for it. The owner upgraded it to 16gb of ram (2x8gb kit), ssd, and 1gb video card. it also had the 3rd gen i5 in it. Thing works great for her and I could not build anything for that price.

That "rgb" fan wasn't even connected XD You can see the 3pin header right behind it XD

Omg, Dawid is doing tech stuff!!!!

I expected it to be made of pallet wood and have a “Live Laugh Love” wallpaper

You got the hospital PC gaming experience right there. I handle those same model PCs daily. Also, did you get some dual channel DDR3? That cooler "cooling something underneath the dvd drive" should be right above the CPU socket itself.

I love this series

I owned a pretty much identically specced system, and it performs SO different from yours! Like, not slower or faster, just specific. For example, I could barely start GTA V at 600x800, but I could play 1080p CSGO at 100-120+ FPS. Maybe because my GPU was a 2GB variant, but slower DDR2 memory?

This reminds me that there is an answer card in Cards Against Humanity that reads "an Etsy Steampunk Strapon" and I think that may be the perfect name for this PC.

When I saw that box I was like: "Dawid... are you SURE that is a GAMING PC?????"

"That fan is being choked out hard, I hope it's consensual" I wasn't ready 😂

I got one of those with an i7 3770 and some similar 1GB GPU for £150 about 4 years ago, when it was clearly a lot newer. Didn't have the LEDs though, so that's where the lion's share goes.

Sounds right, added RGB now it's a custom RGB build.

I see the screws are missing on the VGA port so that means someone really used it and liked it.

I believe the top two ports on the front are USB 3 because it says SS near them. The others all seem to be USB 2

This RGB front fan is glorious as putting underglow lights on a Poney Hyundai XD.

A few years ago I was able to pick those up for like $70 per unit, I used them around the house for a bit, before re-installing windows and I upgraded the ram too from 4GB to 8GB, then sold them for like $100. Not a huge profit margin, and i didn't put a GPU in it lol. but $400 is definitly way to much for that even in today's market imo.

Dawid, I had exactly the same DELL machine with GTX 1650 4GB low profile. Running CS:GO in 150 FPS. GTA V 60 fps +. Upgrade ram to 16gb ddr3 1600mhz and throw in a GPU. You'll be amazed what that i5 can do.

"We are currently living in the world of jaggi's" **Hard flashback to MH4U egg delivery quest on Ancestral Steppe**

9:38 WTF man, you made me spit out my coffee.

That gpu is actually a factory configured gpu. School I work at has an entire lab of these for cad.

I've got a setup almost like that. It's a Dell 3020, instead of a 7010, but very similar machine (I got mine out of the recycle bin at work though). That machine IS very limited in graphics card choices because you can't use any two slot cards (Dell put the 16 lane slot in the stupidest spot) and it has to be low profile (can't require a PCIe power connector either, but I haven't seen anything that meets the other restrictions that also needs one). But there's a massively better card that can go in there. Try the Quadro P620 or P1000. Roughly equivalent to a GTX 1050 or GTX 1050 Ti (specs don't line up exactly, but same silicon). Its really not a bad little machine for what it is, provided you didn't get ripped off on it. Those routinely go for less than $100 on eBay, without the video card.

I use a slightly more modern version (optiplex 7050) of this with just the integrated graphics as a home theater PC. It works great for a low demand application like that. There's no way I'd call it a gaming PC even if I threw a graphics card in it.

A year ago I needed something for casual gaming and I managed to dig up a prebuilt in a Lenovo case, i5 3570, 512gb HDD (sadly), 8Gb of RAM (2X4) and a 1050 ti, the main thing was the price, i got it for like just over $200, used it for 6 months with absolutely no problems at all, it even ran warzone with lower settings. Sold it for $150 later on which is ridiculous

Good vid haha ! Last year I got a similar one locally. Model 7010 with an i5 4590 with 8gb ram and 500 hdd for some 120$. Slapped in a 250gb SSD and a GT 1030 2gb GDDR5 and it rocks !

Ah, the same base optiplex build is 2 metres behind me. I bought it 3 years ago for my son, and added a low profile gtx 1050TI that I picked up locally for £70. It was eventually passed down to my daughter, where I replaced the disk drive bay with an adapter to hold an ssd. This evening my daughter, my partner and I played a Fortnite Trio match and got a Victory Royale. Back when it was possible to get a 1050TI for a reasonable price adding one and an ssd made these optiplexs a great e-sport pc. It also has something most modern pre-builds don't - 2 sticks of ram in dual channel :) If you have a low profile 1050ti it would be great to see a video on the performance uplift for the optiplex.

I love how it went up to 150fps after you got killed

Love your videos man

Lol, I have that exact GPU sitting on a shelf from when I bought a Dell on ebay. Replaced it with a gt 970 and I'm super happy.

6:46 lol the frames went up when he died then back down when he respawned, its like my ping.

You were definitely hosed there Dawid; it was a good cautionary tale though ;-)

Your video channel is a complete trainwreck I'm enjoying watching you buy all of this e-waste It's really amazing Don't change my friend, Don't change.
