- After browsing Etsy for a gaming PC I found an "RGB Custom Built Gaming PC", but the seller clearly misunderstood what all those terms mean.
For some Noob-Friendly, Dawid-approved T-shirts, and more, shop dawiddoesmerch.com/

Stumbled across one of your vids. Now I can’t stop watching them. Great sense of humor and energy!
im exactly the same watched 1 now have to watch them all lol
Same here. lol. I do love the sense of humor. Of course with some... ok well with practically all of these buys you have to.
Same
Finally a PC that makes my ancient 2009 Dell feel good about itself.
It makes me feel proud to have an original Xbox One from 2013.
Lmao custom built 2017 mid range gaming pc 😅
Its a second gen I5 (2011) so im sure its much better than yours
@@nicekeyboardalan6972 If he's got a first gen i7 970 with a GTX 280 or perhaps an HD 5970, especially a 5970, he'd be running circles around this machine.
Socket 1366 is quite the drug my dood.
For example, the Alienware Aurora R1, and various high-end workstations.
I3 4170 here did have ryzen 3 but the board died oh well runs some games better than my ryzen 3 1200 did
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.
I mean, that is what you would expect from Etsy. :P
"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.
Haha!! That is exactly what this is.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff thought so XD I've seen so many of those in my high school
You can do that? I gotta get on that then.
@@captinsparklezremix yes just go take a school computer and advertise it as a gaming pc with "super fast" memory and a "beast" of a gpu
@@henry03100 there used all over the place. My work has the same kind and they update like every 2 years. So all the used ones end up selling for cheap. So some guy just found a bunch of them that were being offloaded for dirt cheap and modified it slightly. lol
That's the most jovial I've seen someone after they have quite clearly been ripped off.
He didn't get ripped off lol. Did you see that listing? If you buy something that laughably non-descriptive, its your own fault. To be fair he will also make money by being able to make a video on it.
@@brianm.595 it also didnt function as described (wrt fortnite performance) so regardless of listed specs....
@@RuggedKnight BRO! That fortnite gameplay was FLAWLESS! What r u talking about? I saw no problems. I would trade my 1660 super for that gpu ALL DAY!
I have become a masochist at this point. XD
@@DawidDoesTechStuff and that's what we appreciate about you bud. 👏
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.
a year late but for anyone that sees this. its less "PS2 hits the CPU before USB" its the way that it interfaces with the CPU that differs, USB functions by being "pulled" by the System/CPU, aka the System sends a Signal to the device that basicaly ammounts to "whatsyadoing" and the device responds with what it does.
a PS/2 Device will instead send its own "interupts" to the CPU, basicaly slapping the CPU in its face with "i did shit, work on it now"
That DOES have the advantage that the PS/2 interupts has a higher "priority" then USB for the CPU, and even in cases where the entire systemis experience catastrophic problems that makes the USB Stack unresponsive.. the PS2 interupts shoudl still work
what a chad. comes in over a year and a half after the og comment to drop some interesting and useful knowledge. this is what the youtube comment section should be for. respect.
Was confused thinking you were talking about PlayStation 2.
I've always been very curious about what the sellers actually say when you confront them about the obvious crappy pcs
"An UwU port"
Perfect for your everyday friendship Etsy PC.
Only the best for your Etsy PC
It didn't even have a "Furries are People too." sticker on it though.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff love that the "RGB" fan's LEDs are connected to power, but the fan itself (4 pin plug) is disconnected.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff 03:35 LOL
Perfect for the people that still use 2 button, ball mice that connect with that port.
you should review a friendship bracelet
No. He should review a live strong bracelet. Even what would Jesus do bracelet would be nice.
It'll be an rgb gaming bracelet
@@Graphics_Card live string bracelet, he not fighting static he fighting cancer!
$200 for beads and a piece of string? lol
I don't have the correct testing equipment for something that technical.
Dawid just skipped checking the Ram config to save himself from going mad
Oh I did actually check. It has two 4 gig sticks in it. :P
@@DawidDoesTechStuff at least give em props for not using single channel
@@DawidDoesTechStuff WOOHOO! 🥳

The reason the pc's rgb fan didn't make any noise was because it wasn't plugged in to the motherboard.
"Follow me on whichever Social media you don't hate" XD
I hated too many of them, so that list is now very short. :P
Your pfp is adorable i must say
@@dustt314 thanks :)
@@JoeMama-jf3zd :D
Brb, gonna game on the Optiplex under my desk while watching this
Also that Fornite laughing was infectious
Hopefully you didn't pay too much for it. :P
“Whoa, that’s a snug fit! Although, not quite as snug as you’d like, actually.”
Heh, heh.
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.
Etsy was the only place I could find a replacement part for my car's shifter. The factory plastic cover snapped in half (cheap plastic). Some seller on Etsy was making them, the damn thing is higher quality than the factory part. Go figure!
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
WAKE UP! Never happened... 🤪
You must of never been early then..
@@anno5936 you forgot abt the aliexpress rtx 3070 one?
@@toxicityuser It was "okayish" given the current market, but: single channel, cooling. Yeah, these are only minor things compared to many others and i have to admit i checked it out; in the end those contra-points killed it for me.
Another point: they openly made a statement that they will declare it as a TV box of little value to pass customs... yet what happens, when you bought a DOA unit ?
The last time I was this early Dawid had a PC with dual-channel RAM.
Hahaha “made by an Etsy” - Dawid clearly knows how Etsy works 🤣
hello there!
Paaaaaaaaa
no heart yet :(
Nice soundbite @8:04 🤭
Hahahaha roasted
dude your timing on low key jokes is mint.. love the show lol
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.
I usually pay 200 for shipping on all my friendship bracelets, I dont see the big deal
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
This man's humor is on another level
"The fan is completely choked off...hopefully it's consensual"
I cracked up!
Always on point
Your humor keeps me coming back keep it up brotha 😂💪🏾
Again your videos continue to amaze me
-nice videos Dawid!
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!
Thanks! I hope you have a nice day. :D
Great vid and good to see vids posted often. Please keep it up Dawid.
LOL I love how you can clearly tell at 4:18 that the fan is stuck in place and not spinning
So much laughter but no Old Laughing Man meme thumbnail. You, sir, have officially learned restraint.
Old man laughing meme.... Do you mean KEKW?
@@covrmeporkins38 Yes. That one.
As soon as I saw the display port adapter, I guessed it was an optiplex 😅
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
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.
"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)
No
"an UwU port" Love it.
The combo looks so matching! No bottlenecks
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
Etsy and Craigslist boutta fight for the best used prebuilt belt on PPV July 17th.
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
God, I loved your trippy Fortnight experience so much!
Dude, gotta say, love that shirt. That's one of my favorite paintings.
I would recommend turning on the frametime graph in msi afterburner, as then everyone will be able to visualize the lag spikes
Well, that GTA V gameplay had some pretty visible stutters 😆
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 😅
Love this guys videos. Come for the computer but stay for the comedy and history lessons.
OK Dawid, Been watching over the last month or two, I've seen enough!
I'm Subscribed now! That Sarcastic sense of Humor!! LMAO! 👍🤣🤣🤣
I would have looked at that shipping price, laughed, then cancelled my order. Some people charge ridiculous shipping on eBay as well.
The names you call VGA Ports lmfao, I died.
I bought one of these small form factor computers with the same processor for $50. Five bucks upgraded the ram from 4 GB to 8 gb. Then I tossed in a Radeon r 7 250X, and it does okay. Plays Grand theft Auto V at 1280x800 50-60 frames a second on medium. Little better than a PlayStation 3, works good for a home theater pc. Considered upgrading the processor to the i7, but those go for almost $100.
I bought a second one with the same configuration for my uncle, and he enjoys playing the old call of duty games like call of duty 4 and call of duty world at War, and I installed the 32-bit version of Windows 10 so it was compatible with all of his legacy Hardware, software, and for his peripherals he had, and in the 2 years he's been using it, I haven't gotten a single phone call asking for tech support.
Love your videos man
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?
Right ? I kinda expected him to be my age or a few years younger (I graduated in 2007)
Some people are slower
Dawid graduated in 2012. He's 27 now but was born 35
I thought the same thing! I finished highschool in 2011. I thought Dawid was around 35-38.
I'm almost 30 and they ask me for my ID id when I buy alcohol or energy drinks at supermarkets. Schoolgirls at 15-16 smile at me. Other dudes disrespect and distrust me. I look like a baby. Dawid, on the other hand, looks trice as old as me because of those single channel RAM sticks he had to see throughout his life.
He is an old soul.
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
My Lenovo Legion is a fucking chonker, I couldn't believe it's mATX
my Alienware has an anti-theft feature that prevents it from being stolen by anyone except bodybuilders.
@@cerberusloyalist5038 I'm a 115lb female.. So a 45in box that weighs 50lbs takes up nearly half of my body.
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
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.
"Here we've got a fan being choked out hard. Hopefully it's consensual" - spat crumbs.
I clicked on this vid faster that my dad abandoned me
Same 🥲
same
Oh shits disturbing am I right lmao
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
Love the vid always entertaining.
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.
awesome video. would you do a video on the higher -teir Etsy pc's? I think someone said they had like 800-1000 dollar ones on there possibly water cooled? wanna know if its like this 500 dollar low gaming one...
Instant buy! Great quality and packaged very well for a $500 brick.
Love this brought from the future computer! Haha, I also love that Benq monitor, what model is it?
Love these vids!
Hey man great video! Could you do the predator orion 3000 from acer?
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.
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.
I love this series
Omg, Dawid is doing tech stuff!!!!
I found one of those in the recycling bin at work. Only a bit better specced.
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
9:38 WTF man, you made me spit out my coffee.
I actually like that "airflow effect" on the front, it looks just like Star Wars
Upgrade it! Also what do you do with all these PC's you buy after your done filming them?
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.
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.
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.
"We've got a mesozoic period port" killing me softly over here
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.
“Look at those frame drops, it really helps you nail down those headshots”😂😂
I love these pre-built videos more than any linus video.
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.
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 have to laugh because I went the OptiPlex upgrade route myself: Opti 7020 tower with an i7, 16 megs of DDR3 and 1.2tb of storage for $290. I added a 750w PSU and a GTX 1660ti (biggest card I could find that would fit and match the CPU). It cost me $620 or so all-in (including ~$100 in shipping) and the more of these videos I see here and on ETAPrime's channel, the more thankful I am mine actually delivers solid frames on mid/high settings at 1440p!
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 $400 is definitly way to much for that even in today's market imo.
About to buy this beast. Wish me luck in my e-sport career.
Hi Dawid, just a note: for fortnite, under 'render mode' in the in game graphics settings, there is a 'Performance (Alpha)' setting for lower end PCs to run fortnite properly
Wow... the seller clearly just picked up that thing from an office dumpster/surplus, slapped in a cheap led fan, and called it a gaming computer.
Hey I was watching your twitch channel when you found this!
Good vid haha ! Last year I got a similar one locally. Model 7010 with an i5 4590 with 8gb ram and 500 hdd for some 120$. Slapped in a 250gb SSD and a GT 1030 2gb GDDR5 and it rocks !
wow Just wow! great video, would have been cheaper flying out to pick it up! Well maybe not! but I don't know how they get away with it, many thanks!
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?
As soon as you pulled out the display port to hdmi adaptor I knew what was about to happen.
My son and I currently game on dell OptiPlex 7010. Found some 1050ti's and it does pretty good especially since I'm only into each one for $240. The box for shipping was $100.
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.
You are right, actually these refurbished office machines are not a bad deal. They are small, robust, with clever cooling solution. Usually cheap or even free if you are lucky. Memory is cheap. Easy to clean and service, too. Replace fan with Noctua, plug in SSD and they be surprisingly silent.
With addition of low-profile Geforce 1050 or 1650 it is quite adequate for Fortnight, CS and GTA on full HD.
Last year prices allowed to assemble similar PC with 16G of RAM and Geforce 1650 for 250-300 USD but these prices are sadly gone :(.
But the "upgrades" on yours are hilarious, and price is very high considering that this is standard decomissioned office PC purchased for USD 50 of 100 (including video card - one of the DELL options) with RGB clumsily added
That listing is so wild
Dawid needs a pure comedy channel. No PCs whatsoever. Just describe things and rip on them. 😂
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.
What is the model number for that Corsair Mouse you are using, it looks pretty cool!
Ha I know this system well, I have the exact same Optiplex that I think was given to me by a client after they upgraded their office PCs. Upgraded it to a third gen i7, swapped out the spinny drive for an SSD, put 32GB and a 1030 in it and it's been my Plex server for about 5 years now... and it does the job pretty well. You know, if you could find a low profile 1050-Ti or 1650-Ti it'd make for a very entry level gaming PC for a kid.
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.
