BEWARE BUYING FROM THIS EBAY SELLER. I've ordered from them a few times. Mixed experiences each time. When I ordered a mini itx one like this it was fine. Packaging sucked but that's it. When I ordered an actual desktop, the packaging sucked again which led to the glass panel shattering, the GPU being bent and broken, and the power supply being nonfunctional. Then the seller gave me a hard time with returning it/refunding it. I had to file a complaint with the FTC after weeks of back and forth with the seller before they actually did anything to rectify the situation.
@PCGACID yeah what's your point? You can only get to eBay's buyer protection if the seller quits responding and if it's a certain time frame after I'm pretty sure. At least for some reason I was not able to get into contact with eBay
Did u get a refund for the broken pc or did they send a new one? I've sold on ebay a lot and if the item arrives broken or messed up, it's 99% of the time better to just refund the item and move on.
It was probably damaged during shipping. The shipper should pay for the damages then. If I ship a perfectly working pc to you and the shipper destroys it then I would definitely also give you a hard time on return.
The i9-9900k is still a completely competent CPU in 2024. Last year I came across one and an RTX3060 for a whopping zero bucks. Paired it with a Z390ud mobo, threw a bunch of SSDs at it, and stuffed it all in a Fractal Define R5 that I got on trade for old parts. Great machine and plays pretty much everything I want it to play at great resolutions and fps.
Personally, I think all *70k and *90k processors, going back to 2012 or so, are still competent, and don't throttle a 3060(ti) at 1080p or 1440p. Intel's amazing single-core performance, still functions well with anything available on Steam. I was using a 4770k until 3 weeks ago, and even when it didn't meet the advertised recommended settings, it never got hot, never throttled my fps, never bottlenecked my 3060ti. I ultimately only upgraded out of fear of my 11 year old parts dying (my pc has been on nearly 24/7 for 11 years), and wanting to run a CPU demanding console emulator lol.
Probably could go to Jawa or eBay and build the same to even something better in the same price zone. It won’t beat a ps5 but it’ll slap a ps4 silly. 1080p is more than perfect in todays world I wouldn’t stress to much if you have the budget ready. Just search for a bit right now is a much better time, I built my pc in 2022 and over paid tf for probably everything, gpu was $747 it’s a 3060, at the time it was either out of stock or $1000+ during the chip shortage, my build hurts but I also love it becuase it’s still solid and handles everything perfectly fine I wanted a boost from my stock ps4 and I got it.
The question of what these were used for comes down to 3 things. 1. On the individual consumer end they are a PC that could fit in with other living room electronics. 2-A. you'd see these in setups at internet/gaming cafes. Pre-pandemic those did start to pop up again as PC gaming/lan tournaments were having a resurgence but the cafes dwindled in shutdowns. 2-B. Stock trading setups. While a GPU isn't necessary they are nice for running additional monitors compared to a machine with onboard graphics... And you could also game while working. Given the high number that were available I'd guess a business closed or upgraded and sold these in bulk to the 3rd party to deal with.
The noctua L9i cooler is really good for what it is, but it's not meant to cool a hot cpu like that. Even so, what you want to do is avoid thermal throttling, and in this case with that CPU I think you could have considered undervolting. That would drop the heat output of the CPU considerably even though you might need to constrain the max cpu frequency a little. The other thing is that I don't think that case has any case fans. Would reversing the orientation of the cooler fan have helped to extract the heat from the case rather than have hot air recirculate within the case?
Hey toasty bros I have been watching you guys since 2015 I remember your first mineral cooled pc with an amd fx 6950 and rx 460! Ahhh i remember it like it was yesterday... Love you guys, my fav tech creator (sorry zack). Pc specs: I7 3770 gt 620 8gb ddr3 1tb hdd asus prebuilt case and asus b75 mobo. Had it since 2013
Fractal Node 202 is the case, they are very rare and they used to come with a custom fractal psu that was like 400w.....usually sells for about 200 for the case with psu alone.
I've got two case's, in fact I'm going to mod one of them and use it for a portable gaming rig. They also come with a plastic mould so it can also sit upright.
Yeah.... I paid more than that for the same CPU when it came out.... and I paid nearly as much as their price for the motherboard which is the same board but in full sixed ATX..... so for like 1/3 of what I paid for the CPU and MOBO they got the whole PC! Heck thats a great deal, new case it and you have a reasonably competent gaming system still! Just yeah..... New cooler....
Alexander valdemir kowaliuk here, thank you for showing me this i understand it needs work like buying Windows and buying a new cooling setup but even with those issues. 350 is looking amazing i know you guys see stuff like this every day but for me i can get a starting setup thats not horrible.
I'd guess that they may well have been from a school/college computer science or computer aided design room. That would explain the basic design and relatively high spec PCs, and all of them being identical. Those are genuinely brilliant PCs for that price, it would probably be reasonable to sell them for double that price. They could do with a case and cooler swap, but other than that are great builds.
I just bought a low budget computer for my father for about $420 (I live in Sweden so we have the crazy taxes on stuff), for his needs it is more than enough. A Ryzen 5 5500GT, 16gb 3200Mhz CL 16 ram, 500gb gen 3 nvme SSD, ASRock B550-HDV inside of a Kolink Observatory RGB Black case. Im somewhat impressed by the iGPU and that it manages to run games on lower settings at rather high FPS. My father is 81 years old and basically only watch youtube and check his email.
I'm a bit surprised that nobody mentioned Theottlestop, which is literally a one click fix for throttling issues on Intel CPU's. The easiest thing to do is tick the "disable turbo" box, which does exactly that. On my i7 MSI laptop it runs 30 degrees cooler with turbo disabled, and the performance cost is seriously barely noticable.
A friend of mine that just got into PC gaming bought a build almost like this just recently. I9 9900k, 32gb, 2080ti, 360mm AIO, 2TB SSD, mouse and keyboard for $500.
I'd grab one to play with at that price. A good air cooler is a fine purchase for it. Of course, repaste and blowouts as well. Looks like they're gone. Still a good idea for tinkering and old games.
In the early 2000's I had a small local company, but I had good standing with many major retailers. I was able to assemble boss ass gaming PC's for Under $400.

My main game is fortnite. If I am missing something please let me know. Also if you know a way to get windows for cheap please let me know.
That's a great setup, but the case should be a bit bigger for airflow! That little Noctua cooler is nice for other small builds, but not great for the Node 202.

also to note, does not ship to AK/Hawaii, not the biggest demographic for PC gaming, but we do game in these neck of the woods lol :D I typically rely on local Used and Amazon for new due to prime shipping, I stay in the biggest city Anchorage which also has a cpl major retailers such as bestbuy, etc, so I'm not in rural AK, where it's even more difficult to get components shipped to, Anchorage Airport is a major shipping hub so alot of stuff is readily available at local stores also...gg another great vid as always :D
Had to pause this video. The minute i saw the popcorn in the box, i almost had a heart attack, and almost became suicidal. The video is great. i find deals like this one myself, Keep these videos coming.
I think people should buy it, it's cheap, a new cooler is inexpensive. And a case swap (Yes, depending on the case) is relatively inexpensive, and easy to do. I'm no gynorocket appliance and I've case swapped and upgraded my PC part 2x by myself by watching a few TH-cam videos.😊
Intel Core i9-9900k (on EBay) $150.00 average EVGA GTX-1661ti 6GB- $110.00 average Fractal Des Node 202 case - $50.00 average I would replace the case with a full size ATX, add an 850 watt PSU and a 360MM 3-fan AIO to cool that i9! I've got a Core i9-9900KF on a Gigabyte Z-390, GTX1080ti-11GB GPU, 32 GB DDR4-3200 RAM, 5 120MM case fans and a Corsair 120MM AIO and the CPU rarely gets to 80 degrees C under full load in games and synthetic tests. No bottlenecks in the system at all.
if you have $350 get up to a microcenter you can get 7600x, really good mobo AND ddr5 for $299 right now... you dont even need a GPU with a 7600x, you can save up for GPU down the road if you dont live near a microcenter ask a friend, family member or go onto group chat, etc and ask around so somebody can ship you products after you wire them $ for $250 you can get 12600kf, decent mobo but only ddr4

At that price surely it's cheap enough that putting it in a more roomy case with a few fans, changing the CPU cooler and maybe upgrading the PSU a bit would still make economic sense (you could sell on the CPU cooler, case and PSU it came with as is, or maybe use them for a cooler running build to flip)
14:29 Um, you complaining the cooler doesn't work while it is completely blocked by the RAM and VRM heatsink. Air has to flow somewhere. (And no I don't think the L9 cooler will cool a 9900K, but maybe try turning it sideways, an undervolt, and maybe turn off hyper threading so it at least stops crashing )
This is decent if you buy a cheap airflow case with pre-installed fans (mine cost £30 delivered new) and a 20 Quid Thermalright Assasin cooler, you can get the twin tower version for around the £20-£25 range, and then this machine becomes a computer that can evolve. For me the biggest weakness is the PSU, it seriously limits the GPU you can fit which is a problem because I'd be looking to sell on the 1660ti and replace it with a cheap 2080ti to max out the bandwidth capacity on the PCIe 3.0 interface. You could use a more modern gen 4 card but it would need to be one with plenty of VRAM to offset the lack of PCIe bandwidth, say a 7700XT, but then that takes the build away from being a budget build. That said even if you stick with the 1660ti plus the case and cooler upgrade you'd have a pretty good cheap productivity machine that can game well too. Someone looking to get into video editing on the cheap could certainly do worse for around 400 sheets.
Case is a Node 202, a notorious hotbox. Trying to cool 9900k with a NH-L9i is a bad idea but the Node only has 56mm cooler clearance so there aren't many options. AXP90-X47 would be best
I highly recommend the noctua The NA-FD1 fan duct kit for the cooler if you don't want to replace the cooler itself. It makes a decent difference, even though it still might not be enough for that CPU. I used to have a SilverStone Raven RVZ01, which is very similar to this case. Other options are to change the power profile, undervolt, or underclock the CPU since it's a K series.
9900k is 95W TDP, no one has ever run it like that though rofl. This is a little bit after board makers went 'FUCK IT IT HAS INTERNAL PROTECTION, FULL SPEED AHEAD PERIOD'.
maybe this pc or one similar will be below $500 tomorrow when my son in law and i travel 4 hours to get there. We are buying two p.c's from you around that price range!!!!
You could have played games with the new cooler, to see if it wouldn't thermal throttle any longer, those game benchmarks were not stressing the CPU as much as playing games, so they didn't mean much.
450W PSU for 1660Ti and i9-9900k. Yikes... some components will be starved for power. Combine that with the tiny cooler that should be used only on CPU with TDP 65W and lower and I'm not sure why I wouldn't trust this PC to last very long. EDIT: It's good started build. If you replace the cooler for something better and PSU that can deliver more Watts. A lot of issues can be caused by using really weak PSU with power hungry components. So, replace those two and for 500$ you have really nice PC. It's not for beginners but if you have experience in modding or maintaining PC you should be able to handle it.
99% rating on eBay, they are just resellers buying wholesale lots from business, etc. Put it in a better case with proper cooling or, drop an i5 in it and use the i9 in another build, I think it is a decent buy for the price.
these can still def game and the price is outstanding, BUT if you ever need SAM or REBAR these cpu are not what you need, you need 10th gen or amd 3600.... the a750 is dirt cheap right now and new budget king, it took down rx 6600 a few months ago, you NEED rebar for all intel cards. many people still rock 6600 and for SAM you need the ryzen 3600 or higher these pc's are perfect for kids or light gamers, mid range gamers make sure to get 10400 or higher
if i had the money to buy this combo i would take out the motherboard cpu ram and gpu and swap them over to a better case with more room and buy a aio for the cpu and get a stronger power supply.
There’s a $700 cyberpower pc at Best Buy I was wondering if it was a good deal for a first computer? I only want to play r6 but I was also looking at the nzxt player one should I spend the little bit extra money and get that one?

also to note, does not ship to AK/Hawaii, not the biggest demographic for PC gaming, but we do game in these neck of the woods lol :D I typically rely on local Used and Amazon for new due to prime shipping, I stay in the biggest city Anchorage which also has a cpl major retailers such as bestbuy, etc, so I'm not in rural AK, where it's even more difficult to get components shipped to, Anchorage Airport is a major shipping hub so alot of stuff is readily available at local stores also...gg another great vid as always :D
Can you guys make a video, taking this pc and moving into a bigger case that can include a better cooler?
Had to pause this video. The minute i saw the popcorn in the box, i almost had a heart attack, and almost became suicidal. The video is great. i find deals like this one myself, Keep these videos coming.
New case and new heat sink and you're golden.
I think people should buy it, it's cheap, a new cooler is inexpensive. And a case swap (Yes, depending on the case) is relatively inexpensive, and easy to do. I'm no gynorocket appliance and I've case swapped and upgraded my PC part 2x by myself by watching a few TH-cam videos.😊
If i had the money now, I 'de get it. thank you Toasty Bros. have a great weekend.
Cheap tower case possibly free if you can get one and a tower cooler easy fix
I got an i7-8700, 32gb ddr4, 500gb ssd, 1060 3gb, 360w psu, wifi, bluetooth, win11 pro for $232 shipped last week, the deals are out there...
Edit
There is no such thing as a 1660 3gb
@SebastianDruschke good catch, 1060 sorry!
Not a terrible deal if it was ready to boot and clean
@@R3AL-AIM yup, win11pro fresh install on it
Yall my favorite PC related things channel
Intel Core i9-9900k (on EBay) $150.00 average
EVGA GTX-1661ti 6GB- $110.00 average
Fractal Des Node 202 case - $50.00 average
I would replace the case with a full size ATX, add an 850 watt PSU and a 360MM 3-fan AIO to cool that i9! I've got a Core i9-9900KF on a Gigabyte Z-390, GTX1080ti-11GB GPU, 32 GB DDR4-3200 RAM, 5 120MM case fans and a Corsair 120MM AIO and the CPU rarely gets to 80 degrees C under full load in games and synthetic tests. No bottlenecks in the system at all.
Awesome video as always! I just wish you guys would've shown some temps on Fortnite and warzone after ID cooling was installed.
Great home theatre PC. For 350 it is a steal for that purpose.
Should i buy ryzen 5 5600x or i5 12400f for my pc
if you have $350 get up to a microcenter
you can get 7600x, really good mobo AND ddr5 for $299 right now... you dont even need a GPU with a 7600x, you can save up for GPU down the road
if you dont live near a microcenter ask a friend, family member or go onto group chat, etc and ask around so somebody can ship you products after you wire them $
for $250 you can get 12600kf, decent mobo but only ddr4
If the microcenter isn't 1,000 miles away. 😂
@@BREEZYM6015
true, theres close to 20
but youre correct if you live more than 500 miles from nearest micro shipping would negate your savings at MC
70% of americans live on east coast, most of us have 1 200 miles away, mine is 100 miles away in indy
No Windows? How much is windows?
@@TonicofSonic
$17-25 with promo code on ETA prime and other yt channels in their description... do NOT buy windows 10 right now, in 1 year its a dead OS, pay for windows 11
@@TonicofSonic
technically u dont even need to buy windows, you'll always have a watermark "activate windows" on your desktop and you just can NOT 100% personalize your PC... but its $17 with promo code for any ETA prime vid on YT
At that price surely it's cheap enough that putting it in a more roomy case with a few fans, changing the CPU cooler and maybe upgrading the PSU a bit would still make economic sense (you could sell on the CPU cooler, case and PSU it came with as is, or maybe use them for a cooler running build to flip)
14:29 Um, you complaining the cooler doesn't work while it is completely blocked by the RAM and VRM heatsink. Air has to flow somewhere. (And no I don't think the L9 cooler will cool a 9900K, but maybe try turning it sideways, an undervolt, and maybe turn off hyper threading so it at least stops crashing )
I guess one can make much more out of this pc when you pack the components into a propper case and buy a bigger cooler.
pretty cool get this get a new budget case budget CPU cooler and you have a great budget PC
Wish they got an all copper Thermalright low profile cooler to really test this
This is decent if you buy a cheap airflow case with pre-installed fans (mine cost £30 delivered new) and a 20 Quid Thermalright Assasin cooler, you can get the twin tower version for around the £20-£25 range, and then this machine becomes a computer that can evolve. For me the biggest weakness is the PSU, it seriously limits the GPU you can fit which is a problem because I'd be looking to sell on the 1660ti and replace it with a cheap 2080ti to max out the bandwidth capacity on the PCIe 3.0 interface. You could use a more modern gen 4 card but it would need to be one with plenty of VRAM to offset the lack of PCIe bandwidth, say a 7700XT, but then that takes the build away from being a budget build. That said even if you stick with the 1660ti plus the case and cooler upgrade you'd have a pretty good cheap productivity machine that can game well too. Someone looking to get into video editing on the cheap could certainly do worse for around 400 sheets.
Case is a Node 202, a notorious hotbox. Trying to cool 9900k with a NH-L9i is a bad idea but the Node only has 56mm cooler clearance so there aren't many options. AXP90-X47 would be best
I'm the other buyer in the vid, the i7-8700K version cools quite well compared to that i9-9900K
I highly recommend the noctua The NA-FD1 fan duct kit for the cooler if you don't want to replace the cooler itself. It makes a decent difference, even though it still might not be enough for that CPU. I used to have a SilverStone Raven RVZ01, which is very similar to this case. Other options are to change the power profile, undervolt, or underclock the CPU since it's a K series.
9900k is 95W TDP, no one has ever run it like that though rofl. This is a little bit after board makers went 'FUCK IT IT HAS INTERNAL PROTECTION, FULL SPEED AHEAD PERIOD'.
Worst case the m.2 is dying. For 350 bucks getting the i9, 1660ti, ram, mobo is still a hell of a deal.
Great deal for a work station setup, but about in line for a gaming rig. Not any faster than a 5600, if anything probably slower in single core games.
Love these vids
maybe this pc or one similar will be below $500 tomorrow when my son in law and i travel 4 hours to get there. We are buying two p.c's from you around that price range!!!!
haha i had the same set up with a i7 6700k same cooler and it goes warm i can think what is the temperature of this i9
You could have played games with the new cooler, to see if it wouldn't thermal throttle any longer, those game benchmarks were not stressing the CPU as much as playing games, so they didn't mean much.
Those peanuts ARE edible. They are just corn starch lol
I would have tried rotating the included cooler 90 degrees and doing a repaste. The RAM was blocking the airflow.
I’d only buy this to swap the case and the cooler probably. I doubt the motherboard wouldnt fit in any other case
Hello Toasty Bros I always love ur videos
Buy that computer and take it apart and install it in a new case with an improved cooling solution and I think you have an affordable winner.
I would like to see if you undervolted the CPU to avoid thermal throttling what kind of FPS you could still get with something like this.
450W PSU for 1660Ti and i9-9900k. Yikes... some components will be starved for power. Combine that with the tiny cooler that should be used only on CPU with TDP 65W and lower and I'm not sure why I wouldn't trust this PC to last very long.
EDIT: It's good started build. If you replace the cooler for something better and PSU that can deliver more Watts. A lot of issues can be caused by using really weak PSU with power hungry components. So, replace those two and for 500$ you have really nice PC. It's not for beginners but if you have experience in modding or maintaining PC you should be able to handle it.
Oh man! Need one to run my arcade emulation
Is that wanted to swap out power supply for this build?
that cooler is ok with adequate ventalation according to noctua
99% rating on eBay, they are just resellers buying wholesale lots from business, etc. Put it in a better case with proper cooling or, drop an i5 in it and use the i9 in another build, I think it is a decent buy for the price.
Just noticed: why is that katana in the background up-side down? 🤣
Its a reverse katana lmao jk
Should undervolt & add a new cooler might be alright & lower clock speeds if need be for lower voltage
This thing needs a Case swappppp ! It let you use a better cooler even an AIO
these can still def game and the price is outstanding, BUT if you ever need SAM or REBAR these cpu are not what you need, you need 10th gen or amd 3600.... the a750 is dirt cheap right now and new budget king, it took down rx 6600 a few months ago, you NEED rebar for all intel cards. many people still rock 6600 and for SAM you need the ryzen 3600 or higher
these pc's are perfect for kids or light gamers, mid range gamers make sure to get 10400 or higher
I would just cut hole for big cooler to pop out
if i had the money to buy this combo i would take out the motherboard cpu ram and gpu and swap them over to a better case with more room and buy a aio for the cpu and get a stronger power supply.
The 1650 doesn't really get hot tbh. Of all the GPUs I ever used 1650 has been one of the coolest GPUs I ever owned.
I just bought an AOACE gaming pc off of Newegg with an i5 12400, nvidia 4060, 32 gigs ddr4 ram any thoughts on performance?
replace the case and the cpu cooler and you got a great pc
They have on with the hard to find 10850k 10 core 20 thread 5.2 clock, newer socket. Same price.
As always the listing was sold out. Not even 14hours after this video went out
oh nah with that temp its gonna go soon
I don't mind the case but I would modify it with a bigger cooler
does it sell in europe?
guys you know you are a gamer when you get that one kill and exit the game 😂😂 can relate
can you case swap them
just undervolt will run fine
There’s a $700 cyberpower pc at Best Buy I was wondering if it was a good deal for a first computer? I only want to play r6 but I was also looking at the nzxt player one should I spend the little bit extra money and get that one?
for the price i would go full jank and external mount a 240 aio
I had such an odd eBay buying experience getting a £800 gaming pc with a super bad seller, he packed it like shite and then said it was my problem, eBay sided with me and gave me my money back while telling me to keep the pc :) win free pc
I did enjoy this video.
for that price its a good deal!
Thats some nice thermals 🤣🤣
8min in BUY that pc. Grab a cheap ass case $50 or less or use a used case pick up a $30 cpu cooler and your good to go. For that price damn.
Could you possibly take the guts from this case and transplant them into a better one?
