I Got 15 Computers for $30....! 

Yuo wouldn't get it...

Even to 1 is a lottery

the verge also did a horrid build on a pc like that

that was a dark time for pc lovers :/

And stream his gameplay

@@KimKiKi0 exactly He was missing an aio screw, the cable management was out of question and im still wondering whether the pc is alive or not because of that inverted psu which was suffocated so bad

@Saify no they probably decided to throw it away cause of how bad the guy built the pc If there was a sign up that said NEED OF PC BUILDING EXPERIENCE the guy probably would say that he could do it and verge would be fine with it

Why the heck would he do that? Of one of these pcs he would make just a few dollars.. Restoring them and selling them he could get way more

@@eduardoavila646 Who buys a core 2 duo these days ? They consume more power and are way too slow.

TheFinalRevelation Oh tons of people! They are usually cheaper and still good value, even more the quadcore ones. And even if they were pentium 4's, just the price of the motherboard or the processor alone is higher than what you get with its gold inside. If its a c2d or newer, people buy for budget machines, if its older usually people buy for collecting (collectors are a rising thing nowdays!) Just check those retro channels in youtube or the ebay listings. And pentium 4s for example are a good entry point to retrogaming with either msdos or windows98, wich is also a trendy thing nowdays

no he wouldnt

Grinix I dont know to who is this directed, but if its for me, yes he would. A old computer, even a pentium 4 based system, worth more than the little bit of gold that you could potentially take out of it. Not to mention all the work you would have to remove the gold, all the chemicals you would have to buy, and all the time spent, wich reduce the gain you get with that small quantity of gold extracted. Firstly because unlike many people think, gold isnt just super abundant in these pc parts, the most abundant probably will be like Sn, Cu, the 'plastic' and/or glassfiber wich makes the pcbs, silicon, etc. And if you get the pric for the g of gold, calculate gow much you get out from a pc, and search for usuall prices online, you will see the difference. If you clean all the parts, and resell as a retrogaming pc, the profit is even bigger, as many people want to just buy a pc to play some old games. See youtube for example. Now that if you dont, for example, sell to a third world country, as Brazil. Then you would probably be able to have way more profit, these old eletronics can cost like 5-6x times more.

No fatherboards or sonboards. Only motherboards and daughterboards. Damn white man patriarchal society!

@@Dragofang lmao flat earther logic

he would call it tech yes loving without efforts 😂😂😂

Hey Britec09

He has told it in his previous videos that he flips them around (gives them the "tech yes" loving ) For a small profit to help him since RU-vid's revenue simply wasn't enough and I think he started doing this when he didn't have channel sponsors , I think he does it since extra money doesn't hurt and gives him the opportunity to make content as well . Since new launches aren't everyday .

@@SAGAR1996 yep it's a good sideline for a lot of people. I've flipped probably a half dozen this year just by putting together parts I didn't need. Graphics card from a bulk buy with some better RAM and a Dell office server? Boom, you got yourself a deal!

so u strated reviewing pc on ur channel

If you ever get a the last Intel i7 ddr3 cpu motherboard combo for sale I want to skip ddr4 I'm holding out for ryzen pci4 ddr5 motherboard, I believe that last gen i7 ddr3 is better than my fx 4.5 mhz cpu.

Generally free scrap, nobody wants those things sitting around and stacking up (termites and other critters). You might even be able to get one for free at any hardware store since they definitely don't want to pay to ship it back, and its probably going in the dumpster otherwise.

@@jakegarrett8109 alot of hardware stores gotta return them pallets to the "owner" or they gotta pay for them .

I'm dead! 🤣😂😭

I don't think so buddy.... you can make one for under 10 bucks.

pallets are free here, as many as you can take. places can't get rid of them fast enough

Mike Jones I feel bad that nobody could tell you or get back to this comment( I hav no idea btw)

@@henrye561 your sympathy is appreciated!

Maybe you left the case at... Swishahouse? Amirite?

Are you talking about the one at 7:57? Because I found on google that it is called an Alpine EZ-Cool MIDI Case.

Im in brisbane have that case complete working with a core2duo. Im in brisbane australia if you want it. Its for sale.

I'm 99% sure it's an HP P600 PCI-X Smart Array controller. I can see the ports and the battery. I have 3 of those cards.

Looks like a RAID controller to me. All the cables look like SATA data cables.

For an idea of what dual netburst is capable of: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rMCSRhHKI6c.html My name nomination is Cheddar Mill, a pun on Cedar Mill. Or more Obscure: Tejas / Jayhawk, the cancelled Netburst chips. :P

Maybe the board supports "dunnington" 6 core xeons. Those are quite rare though. If it works this could be a 12 core workstation.

@Polaris Lakewell cool.

He can still earn at least $20 *in profit* per computer, ranging greatly on specs and if he sells them all with max/enough RAM other specs maxed enough.

yeah i bought 12 sticks of 1gb ddr2 for like $20 here in brazil and things are more expensive over here than pretty much anywhere else in the world.

Mhmmm. DDR2 is a tough sell. Even ddr3... bought 4x4gb 1333 for $40.

Yeah, even a pile of ddr2 sells better as scrap

thats not what cex gives u thats what cex sells for

Scrap Tech Tips what server and specs? I have an x3550 m1 server with dual x5355 and 32gb ram with drives and no one wants it for $300 Canadian lol

@Autronic @vawa-ID slaps both of you in face with netbook and laptop from before 2010

Why Windows 10 tho? Windows 7 is much more suitable for these machines since it uses less resources, and works better anyway

@@mad_cat431 I have no argument with that. I'm just thinking if he flips them he would most likely be using windows 10. And it's what people will be looking for in a PC. If they see it running windows 7 they might pass on these and find something else running windows 10.

Or he could use one of those Optiplex motherboards. If you update the BIOS they will run up to I believe a Q9650. I have one working with a Q9550 even though Dell's website says a Q6700 is the highest it can run.

Some people need DDR2.

@@janelewis7385 For what? running a system? I really wish he noticed this comment cuz I would like to know!

Some computers need DDR2 or servers. Cheaper to buy more ram than buy a new PC/server

Sales numbers say "Corolla" though. Ouch. Settle fellas, I'm a rev-head at heart too.

Or

I didn't look, but It's probably a old AGP or PCI video card, that won't fit in modern boards (no PCI or AGP slots, nowadays).

@Nilas Grahn him means the processor gen you dickhead, but honestly if the pc doesn't have at least a 2nd gen i5 it's complete useless in the rapid software demands these days.

@Nilas Grahn also consoles are computer I think you mean desktop not computer, a computer is anything with a processing unit

"that's all you need for gaming, its that single core performance!" - most 6700k through 7700k owners

He showed the page, dual cores. Therre Only 10 years old, xeons are server grade cpus so if they were 10 years old and only single cores that would be dumb asf

i mean, people say single core performance is what matters, because games mostly use 4-6 threads. So if you do have 6 threads or more single core performance is what you should be concerned about, not getting more cores. 7700k's easily beats something like an r7 1800x in games, the 6700k is usually on par with the 1800x, but overclocked that beats it too(because it overclocks more than the 1800x).

Don’t think Xeons were ever single cores but okay chief

Just spreading the love, plus it don't cost nothing to promote a good channel like Tech Yes City

@Christie Malry wow... maybe i should sell the bags and bags of ddr2 i have...

@Christie Malry sooo i just checked cex... they buy ddr2 for .80c aud per 2gb stick... they onsell for $4, which is an absurd ripoff and about the going rate for DDR3 on buy/sell forums

@Christie Malry they buy 4GB sticvks for $4, which is not so bad as it's quite a bit rarer than 1 and 2GB sticks, but they onsell for 15, which is again an absurd rip off

@Christie Malry We are sorry to announce that CeX has ceased trading in the United States. LOL !!!!

Denis Nadeau meh I’m better off with using ebay for parts

Absolutely. With 150 or so dollars it could be completely transformed into a gaming beast.

That's not a 771/775 server, that's an old Socket 604 server based on Netburst (Pentium 4) Xeons. It's useless.

Maybe the socket 604 core based xeons might work? I think they went all the way up to 6 core processor variants. Although it would be dependant upon the chipset supporting the tigerton or dunnington chips. Normally, I would assume not, but seeing as there is an abundance of core2 era systems there, it stands to reason that the server would be from the same era.

I wouldn't pay more than 50 for a 775

Mister Coconut honestly

Oh they absolutely can. The dual Xeon one can be extremely powerful with some cheap upgrades.

Dual CPU's don't scale well just like GPU's

@@thomaswepfer Depends on the workload, gaming? They scale terrible for most games. But anything that can handle multiple cores they scale great. Source: I have personally done some virtualization on a dual xeon system.

If only Intel had them unlocked, then I'd buy a couple dozen just for a weekend of LN2 fun, but sadly they are pretty useless except running Linux (but I could run a out 32 virtual machines of Linux at once with my CPU and have it run faster, so its not like I'd want 32 of those systems!). Its just a shame they are locked... Would have been fun!
