So, I Bought The Cheapest "Gaming PC" On Amazon AND… 

Get a personalized video from me on Cameo! v.cameo.com/e/OB3LkPbT0rb

That glittery monstrosity is the equivalent of those plug n play games they trick grandparents into buying their grandkids for Christmas.

Rich is on a winning streak with these review videos.

It's always a good day when ReviewTechUSA reviews some tech.

to be fair linus had done the "i took the cheapest thing on (shopping site here) that i could or my interns could find lets slap a gpu into it" granted turning literally a potato into something is always fun its one of those videos that made me wanna build my first pc

I love how many Tech Reviews we had recently. Also the Cameo advert is absolutely perfect

This is a great year, having Rich reviewing tech in the USA 👍

The unintentional humor of you opening that box is just amazing.

That's too funny, it's literally one of those old Dell Optiplex business computers haha. I just got one for my mum for literally 20 USD (2nd hand) with mouse and keyboard.. they're making a killing off of some RGB strips and some sparkly PC case stickers 😆😆 gold

I've actually been using a Dell desktop for about 2 years now (granted a much higher end one than this, like actually having a dedicated gpu for a start,) and it's held up very well for me. I plan to upgrade in about a year or two longer.

This is what we want, tech reviews! 👍

fun fact, that keyboard has like 100 different names, it's not a wish keyboard, it's a dollar tree keyboard basically, unsure of who makes them and why they have so many brand names but it amuses me to see it here lol

All that it needs it's a GPU and a PSU. The i5-4570 is one banger of a CPU, still very capable for gaming today.

Hi Richie, it’s me Ralph. How have you been Richie?

Awesome video, Rich! Miss these reviews... Jay did a killer job editing it too btw! Great stuff! 👍

Is... is that _thing_ covered in glitter or something? No way I'd get anywhere near that thing. Once glitter enters your life, *it will never leave you.* It's like a permanent, sparkling disease that spreads to anything you touch.

This thing makes the Switch look like a power house

"cheap" and "gaming PC" should not be used in the same sentence.

Looks like it's straight off a classic Pimp My Ride episode. "Yo dawg we even threw in a new shiny gaming rig so you can play NBA from the comfort of your own waterbed in your truck!"

02:00 I think I know what a man is now 🐓🐓🐓

I remember having a similar cpu, the intel 15 4460, but I had an ATI Radeon 7770 video card installed which I still have somewhere and had a much better time than this, I am looking forward to the second part of your video. Thanks for all your videos!!

Just saw a similar machine reviewed by Linus a couple of days ago and it wasn't all bad apparently.

Nice overview. The fact that an old classic game, like Half Life 2 was able to run on it, means it has some potential. Question: What happens if you use a DAW like Lmms, or Fruity Loops, or Ableton on it, with some cpu friendly synth vst plugins? Does it still slow down? Anyway, looking forward to part 2.👍😃

These aren't as bad as you think If you buy a decent cheap GPU at 100 dollars and slap it in this machine (something the PSU can handle obviously) it's not a bad deal granted the hardware is a few years old but add a GPU and it's fairly capable ..LTT just did a video on these and I feel like that's what actually lead rich to look at this

Can't wait for part 2.. keep em coming!

Great episode. I lmao while learning some stuff. Can't wait for part 2.

Finally you got 1 million subscribers. I'm been following you over 6 years ago is so awesome because before use to be half a million back then.

If you still have that neumann mic, you should have that setup for these. Would sound better even if it is backed off.

Rich, PLEASE keep up with these tech videos. they are insanely entertaining and you seem much happier doing it. I also am too

Great video keep it up man

Love videos like this, that was great!

Congrats on 1 Mil man!

I saw your video before linus tech tips I prefer yours. Happy christmas rich

Linus looked at this the other day and his channel actually was able to find some certain uses for theirs… so for a kid who just wanted to play certain titles, it was very doable especially with a cheap older GPU.

Its refreshing to see you reviewing tech.

Great video as usual, Rich! This one had me laughing.

5:18 is that creepy uncle moment. lol😂

Crazy that my low-mid range PC from last year runs games better than this lol. To be fair, it was overpriced at like $400 but it still runs everything I've tried so far pretty well at medium for more graphically demanding games.

Could be turned into a alright router with PfSense, could turn it into an HTPC or a NAS. That's the awesome thing with computers you can even make an older computer into something good.

Both of the newer computers that I have are from an Amazon Authorized HP refurbisher, one an older HP Elitebook 8460p, the other is an HP EliteDesk 705 g4, neither the best, but they work for what I need.. great experience for me, though I wish I would have gotten the bigger EliteDesk that I could add a video card into, and an actual Ryzen CPU instead of their A10s... Still good for what I need..

A selling point from the Amazon listing, "The PC Treasure Box RGB will give you a special experience". Not that it couldn't be made better by some kind of GPU. But that statement is hilarious.

Thank you truly for this tech review

Lovin'these types of videos rich! 👍🔥

I picked up an MSI gaming laptop with an Nvidia RTX 3070. It’s been stellar! Zero issues! Even plays pcvr like a dream!

You should buy more tech to review like this. I always come back and watch these

I had the same CPU 2 PCs ago. At the time and keep in mind I had a dedicated graphics card it played well. Can't believe it is legal to sell that as a gaming PC.

Besides the glitter, these are standard business desktops from 2013. Complete work horse machines, but they have a tendency for their onboard graphics output to just die without warning. My company had about 40 of these, and they slowly started failing. Hopefully this desktops being sold keep going!

Good ol' Optiplex 7020. Our school district has been e-wasting these over the last couple years.

11:11 benchmarks

I just watched a video from tailosive tech and now you, and dude, your voices sound so similar that i thought it was another tailosive video, but it is not! Crazy!

Amazon needs to crack down on these “gaming pc’s” and remove them from the store.

The Optiplex 7010s where pretty nice machines for their time... We have a couple evading the E-waste Heap which i may it may not have had a part in

Actually not terrible deal if it's used as an updating Thin Client for a gaming center or if you have multiple gaming PC's. Would save on data and time.

The "treasure box" pc is actually a pretty big racket, I loved Linus's video on it

I'm sure it will end up fabulous 🤩 As Liberace said, "When the reviews are bad I tell my staff that they can join me as I cry all the way to the bank...", so he added..."You know the bank I used to cry all the way to? I bought it...." This "gaming computer" has a lot to live up to...😃

For my mom's birthday I bought her the plain version of this exact pc. It cost me $130, but all she does with it is play the sims 2 and watch youtube so it works fine. She loves it, better than her old celeron j1900, 4gb ram and a 500gb HARD DRIVE where explorer will crash if you open more than a couple windows.

"you cannot play a game at 10 FPS" F/A 18 Interceptor on an amiga 500: "am i a joke to you"?

Rich check that front panel for 2 more usb ports. the sticker maybe covering them no joke. hope all is good.

You can't really give it a fair shake if it doesn't have a gpu besides Intel HD Graphics in there. The specs are actually decent. If you slapped a budget gpu in there, you could be playing some modern AAA games at least on low to medium. Just got to make sure the power supply it comes with has enough wattage for it. My old gaming PC has worse specs with a GTX 1650 in it and it's still capable of playing almost anything I throw at it.

More tech reviews from the usa

I wonder if this PC has enough juice to handle an RX 6400... Adding one would make it kind of decent value. Or maybe even some decent GT1030 variant? Maybe I'm weird, but there's some charm to weird refurbished computers and as Linus said it, keeping stuff out of a landfill is a good thing in itself. I have a refurbished Dell laptop, a kind of professional workstation that would cost obscene amounts of money new... And I absolutely love it. If Treasure Box validates the PCs and do basic refurbishing beside cosmetics, the only thing really "wrong" about these glittery abominations is the deceptive marketing. The tacky aestetic is pretty funny and a properly informed user can likely get a lot of utility out of them. :)

My Beelink SER5 MAX, now can be found for 300-350, and actually has some good specs for 720p-1080p.

that was my question - if you could add more ram or upgrade parts to make better. but then is it worth it? is it cost effective?

This is criminal that companies get away with selling this trash to ppl. What sucks is there's gunna be a ton of ppl who buy this for their kids cuz they can't afford any better and also don't know any better and will get beat for the money they spend on this PC. Thank god there's a channel like yours that shedding some light on this scammer of a gaming PC. What sucks is they will sell a bunch of these this holiday season cuz so many families are hurting for cash with how bad the inflation is that ppl are looking for deals where ever they can find them and In doing so they end up getting robbed for hard earned cash they can't afford to lose. Keep up the hard work with exposing trash like this cuz it's really helping a lot of ppl out there not get robbed for their money

Love the green lights on it

It seriously appears to be approx the same model of deaktop pc my old job used in 2016 and has specs similar to what i buy when im looking for dedicated emulation pcs.

Something with ReviewTechUSA is a perfect series title.

200 smackers for a barebones machine isnt too bad. if there's affordable upgrade paths, then i guess it keeps parts outta the landfills!

Have at you from Monty Python and the holy Grail. Quality stuff Rich

There better be big horses and cucumbers in the next review Richie

@2:16 I thought “have at you” was from the Holy Grail🤔🤣(the black knight)

I can see the use of these for starter gaming PCs, like get the desktop and then buy a more up to date low profile video card. It’s not incredible or gonna knock your socks off, but at least you got a “gaming” pc of sorts imo.

My first gaming pc was a prebuilt half decent it could run triple a games at 60 with some tweaks until I bought newer pieces and built a better one using the prebuilt case.

Think positive Rich, if it's wired there's less latency..and smell has nothing to do with gaming. Maybe they ment retro gaming...if you get a 1050 or 1650 graphic card you can play current games at 1080p sorta at about 50 FPS ☹️

You can probably plug in a low profile 1050ti Nvidia graphics card. That should allow you to run some older Triple A titles above 30FPS-40FPS, possibly. Not providing a “gaming” pc with a dedicated GPU and relying on an old intel processor on an old motherboard a decade old was the final nail in the coffin as far as gaming is concerned. Even over a decade ago, these computers weren't made for gaming, they were suited for office work.

I'm interested in getting my son the mini gaming PC in your palm that you did a review on. I appreciate your content.

Basically a 6 year old Optiplex 790 mini tower that's been running 24/7 the whole time. Probably from a pallet of them that somebody threw out after an office refresh. Then it gets glitter bombed and thrown on Amazon for a 200% profit.

I am in luck, I do have a VGA monitor (but it also has HDMI)! I might have been in the market for something like that recently, a used office computer from 2017 (although I'd probably buy it from a local second-hand computer shop and not pay extra online for the cheesy bling), since I don't have any AAA PC games more recent than a decade old so I presume even a potato PC from 2017 can run them at 600 x 800, but, thankfully, my brother's sending me his older PC (from around the same era but I think he upgraded it for gaming) so I don't need to buy anything questionable that markets itself as a "gamer PC".

I have a Logitech mechanical keyboard at my work desk that outwardly looks exactly like that. But it's obviously not since it's mechanical. Anyway, the problem with systems like this isn't the specs. As many have pointed out, you could grab something like a 1050ti and put it in here for cheap and have an ok entry level system. My roommate had one of these (although only paying $80 for it, and just a regular one, no glitter or RGB), for a few years. The problem with these systems is that they are NOT upgradeable. The power supply, motherboard, and case are all basically e-waste, as they are proprietary and cannot be reused for any other system. So you can't even start out with something like this and upgrade it over time, you have to replace the motherboard, case, and power supply all at once, and the old ones just go in the trash because they're proprietary. But taking one of these 10 year old cheap office PC's, and putting glitter and RGB lighting on it, is putting lipstick on a pig.

Linus did a review on these and ngl slapping in a mid range GPU these pcs do a decent job at 1080p 60fps

This reminds me of those stock cars with all the spoilers and underglow trying to make em look fast. Ricer straight ricer.

"I've seen a lot of things that say refurbished that aren't really refurbished" Famous words before buying systems from DKOldies

I got a regular dell optiplex for way less then this. I don't use it for games but internet and emulators. But I did get a graphics card for it, with a graphics card I'm sure it would work better

Those haven't been "Sprayed with glitter paint". It's some kind of adhesive skin like what D-Brand uses. The people making this are basically all about recycling stuff from the office sector of PCs.

Oh this is gonna be good. Edit: Carlos is the best bird

Damn this was funny can’t wait for part 2

You the REAL IST had me Roaring ... every munchies detail YOU GO PAC MAN jah BLESS ... NERD all GENS stay UNITED :D

Looking forward to you updating the pc lol

Loaded up Tomb Raider and everybody's outfits started looking like the PC console 😂 glittery af

Buying an old optiplex or elite desk and throwing in a GTX 1050ti or GTX 1650 used to be a be a good way to get a cheap semi decent gaming pc. I did this a few years ago for my niece when she was still quite young and just getting in to gaming. It cost about £140 for a sff hp elite desk with the same cpu as this. I added a low profile1050ti and 16GB ram and a SSD, and it did well for a while. Problem is, I did all this when the 10 series GPUs were still relevant and you could still get away with a quad core CPU. These days though, since they still go for pretty much the same price for the exact same massively outdated systems and a 1050ti probably costs more than what I paid for it at the time, it's really not worth it. And as for this particular monstrosity I first saw them a few months ago when someone in my sims group was asking about them. I think it was more expensive too... like 300ish iirc I guess people weren't willing to pay 300 bucks for a vajazzled optiplex😂

I have a stack of these optiplex desktops sitting in my basement. I gotta glitter bomb them all.

Boxception bro I can’t 💀 😂

Holy cow he reviewed tech in the USA no way 😳

The Color on the PC reminds me of The Shockmasters Helmet from WWF back in the Days

This segment should be called “stuff your grandma buys you on QVC”

Rich being high ontop of Jays editing made this review especially funny lmao

Honestly, if you only need a PC for old and/or basic Steam games, this isn't the worst idea. Maybe get an old GPU also, if it can fit. But calling this a gaming PC is a joke. It's basically the Chromebook of desktops, and that's being generous.

Lmao!! That thing is tiny. I like the hoodie rich!

Super Eyepatch Wolf could had had a literal stroke with this one.

15:07 its nanomachines lmao
