- After a viewer sent a link to a "4K gaming" PC on Amazon for $280, I just had to check it out. I also decided to try and see if I could turn it into an actual 4K gaming PC with some subtle mods.

"This is a 4k gaming computer...for web browsing"
And Roblox on 19 frames 4k
Not even browsing could go to 4k
The fact that the advertisement says it can play 4k when the card doesn't even support native 4k it's some straight lie and a very scamy way of profiting out of people that doesn't know about this even if the card is pretty capable of playing the minsweeper to a very stable 60fps.
I mean it can run minecraft at 5 FPS right 🤣
Yeah
Can't even claim a matter of semantics "it could technically run games at 4k, we just didn't say how well or what games" when the included GPU doesn't even support 4k native and has to be forced.
Well i mean it's an ok deal for a full pc, especially with part shortages lately
All the world’s School Computer Labs & Libraries were insulted today for the comparison.
Dawid : Minor tweaks
Says the guy who just dropped in a $400 GPU which is almost double the price of that prebuilt 😂😂😂
Hahaha!! Yeah, that's pretty minor in my eyes. :P
10 times the value of the prebuilt
A low profile gtx 1650 would be a more realistic option?
The card is over double the price of the prebuilt. It costs $600 USD cause it's got an anime picture on it I guess
@@JaytheJaskonian Yeah it's a really silly graphics card.
Here's the thing: If a single mom want's to buy her two boys a new computer, she will read "Gaming PC" and get a nasty surprise when they try to play Forthnight on it. Can and should we expect her to be able to tell the difference between this and a real gaming rig? No, we shouldn't. The price might give it away, but again if it says "Gaming PC" it should be spelled out exactly what experience you will get.
This is a scam.
that is why you should always research before buying something you arent familiar with, plenty of youtube videos and social media groups that can help, i do agree though amazon shouldnt allow this shit but oh well
"Can and should we expect her to be able to tell the difference between this and a real gaming rig? No, we shouldn't"
Yes, we should. We should 100% expect grown adults to be careful with their money and to do the bare minimum of research before spending large sums of cash on things they don't properly understand. That'd be called basic intelligence in my opinion.
You can google, check comments, do any little bit of research before buying a PC. You can't hold peoples hands throughout life. If they aren't capable of doing research/protecting themselves then it's only a matter of time before _something_ makes them lose a lot of money. The more you protect people from any bit of hardship, the less they learn how to function and the less they teach their offspring.
You aren't protecting people. You're robbing people of the chance to learn through mistakes, which means you're robbing their kids of learning from their parents. I know nothing about cars but have never been scammed buying one because I was capable enough to understand that it was beyond my expertise and maybe I should research what I was getting into. It's also how people buy pets that die from poor breeding after a few months, or dump them on the street because they never knew what keeping a pet would entail. People who don't understand what they are getting into need to learn why research is important and how to do it. I'd rather them lose 200 quid on a crap PC than fly off a cliff because the lemming of a car they bought had faulty brakes.
@Suwaki i’d say ~1500$ gaming pc is fine. idk about spending 3k on one
@Suwaki I would say 700+ is fine tbh
I bet it kills at Minesweeper and Solitaire though. Or use DOSbox or something and run Wolfenstein 3D....
As soon as I saw the case I burst out laughing. At my previous job we spent most of 2020 excising these from our locations because they were too old to reliably run Windows 10. They're so old that they were still known as "HP COMPAQ." They were great office machines in their heyday and easy to do basic component replacement on, but goddamn they're ancient.

@Dayton PlaYS exactly my thoughts
I love watching Victoria Secret models talk about high end 4k gaming systems
I actually bought the same pc from a bank headquarters that was upgrading for $100. It was like new.. The cpu is decent, so I just put a total of 16gigs of ram, a 120g ssd, and a geforce 1650 gpu in it. Kept the old psu because the gpu was low power draw. It runs excellent, great for mid range gaming. Total investment of about $300 and I'm very happy. These old office rigs are built like tanks.
"This is half life 2 which can comfortably run on a pacemaker" I remember when gamespot gave hf2 'best slideshow 2004' because it was so hard to run
Speak for your pleb kind. I had a 6800GT. I played everything normal (not farcry 1) maxed at 120 fps (vsync locked) 1280x1024.
@@TheGuruStud I first ran HL2 on an x800xl which traded blows with the 6800GT back in the day. I ran the game at 1600 x 1200 with most of the setting maxed except only 4x AA versus 8x AA. I think I was able to maintain my CRT monitor's refresh rate of 75 HZ at that resolution, but I'm not 100% sure. Far Cry 1 may have run similarly. Again not 100% sure.

The fact that you actually figured out a way to get 4K gaming out of that turd means you are literally my hero! That was very funny and a joy to watch. I'm just glad you didn't blow all the electrical breakers in your house and make your whole neighborhood go dark doing that...HA! Love the video!
So my friend actually bought this thing a while back by accident instead of something else and I looked through the specs on the Amazon page for him after the fact. It says that it's a gaming pc with 4k video playback, so if you can get a movie to play in 4k then technically they're not wrong they're just predatory.

“This is the kind of office Pc you would find in a office” Dawid Does Tech Stuff 2020
YES
*does
Redundant statement is redundant.
Elliot Wyatt DOES spelling
What kind of office are we talking here? An office office? An official office of officing?
I use one of those business machines as my secondary machine. Ivy bridge i7 3770 (3.9ghz) 16 gb ddr3 (dual channel) GT1030 2gb gddr5 with an old ssd and HDD. It does 1080p gaming quite well and only draws 110 watts max from the wall (very quiet too). Originally I bought 7 of those HP machines off ebay for $50 ea. They all had an i5-3470, 4 GB ddr4, 500gb-1tb HDD and onboard video. I slapped some ebay hd 7750 2gb gddr5 cars for $15 each and used them to multibox online games. I ran them all through years of south texas heat with 85-90c ambient pegged 24/7 and none of them failed (one of my routers sitting on the stack died from heat). Those business machines are built to be abused and often are based on my professional experience.
They can be quite good for cheap when done properly. If you get one replace the thermal paste as it's rather old at this point. I also replaced the fans for better air movement and less noise. The i7 was bought off ebay and runs a bit hotter than the original i5s. Hits 57c when maxed out in around 28.3 ambient. GPU peaks around 70c. Furmark/p95 pushes a bit higher but not far past 60c on cpu.

'This is the kind of office-pc that you would see in, like, an office...'

An office pc starter pack indeed, especially the CPU, it looks totally office themed.
P.s cool pfp, dude.
Ey. Another Turk guy! Hello!
Should be illegal to claim shit that’s not true on Amazon listings.
It is lol
Well, the problem is its technically not a lie. It CAN game at 4k. With a very specific set of games. Like Peggle, Carmen Sandiego, Diablo 2...
Thats the inherent problem with calling something a 4k system, too many variables and its very subjective.
It is, but sellers know that a certain percentage will never put in for returns. If that pc was sent back you'd have a refund 100% based on the fact it was clearly not a 4K gaming rig. Its also way overpriced, there are millions of these old office machines out there and you can pick one up for less than £100 with those specs. Actually a decent way to start building/upgrading/tweaking your own PC for those of us on a budget.
@@githane It's intentionally deceptive. None of those games are less than 10 years old nor were any of those games ever advertised as even being 720p ready, much less 4k. That type of defense doesn't actually work, it's just the amount of effort that goes into punishing people for these lies is way too much for what you get out of it.
Why it’s called a scam
You are quick witted and funny.
You've got yourself another fan!
I found that exact same system in the Trash a while back. After replacing the processor and adding my own ram and video card it ran pretty decent as a gaming computer for well over 2 years the only drawl back is the way this case was designed and the fact that the motherboard is on the wrong side of the case also there is a nasty little security lock you have to bypass if you want to ever use that system with out a case cover.

Mine came for a semiconductor clean room industrial setting, as per the local business liquidation stickers, the case took a beating and won't close properly, I have to sort of lean on it and screw it down. During start up is does some weird security password lock, something from the BIOS, it passes after a few reboots and it's left on 24/7, so it's all good.

Imo the worst part is their OEM cases suck but that’s such a minor nitpick. Even the price wasn’t eye watering considering the gpu market, and 2day shipping with the simplified warranty support you get from buying prebuilt.
IT IS A 4K GAMING PC!!! SHUT UP!!!
it just runs at 2fps.
I mean 2 is greater than crash so i kinda agree?
@@Sand2Go lol I guess
It’s probably better than my Gaming PC.
27fps average on Minecraft, not even 2K.
@@delinep7286 be happy mine does not even run java at 10fps
Bhavi bro even with optifine ?
A while back ago, I purchased an HP Elite 8300 just like yours for about $125. These machines make excellent Linux workstations, NAS/file server, router/firewall for SOHO networks. I agree the seller's claims were a bit exaggerated, but almost anyone could see that if they looked at the specs. Too many cant be bothered to read the fine print.
Exactly. All they care about is gaming. $280 is too much. I bought a similar machine for $50. Works great as a linux workstation.
1:50 That's the type of HP junkboxes that they actually had in my university that I went to, prior to them upgrading all of their equipment! I guess there'll be a 2nd or 3rd gen Core i CPU of some sort, 8GB RAM (maybe 16GB if you're lucky), either Intel HD Graphics or some low power display adapter style GPU (like a 710 or maybe 1030), and god knows what in terms of storage!
I was almost first but was streaming the big navi launch lol. Man, I love these Prebuilt PC videos they are extremely entertaining to watch!!!!
Oh cool! I'm really glad you enjoy them. 😁
@@DawidDoesTechStuff keep them coming
the Box alone killd me "Microsoft Authorized" lmao
i remember taking apart and rebuidling that excact pc in grade 9
Laughed my ass off at "will comfortably run on a pace maker" I'm stealing this joke.
my school had one of these systems but they had i3's and no graphics cards i remember taking apart one of them with the school "tech guy" it was really fun one of the first systems i ever took apart.
That's awesome! Sounds like a really great first time taking apart a PC. It's nice of the "tech guy" to do that with you. 😁
Nobody:
Dawid: got this waifu card..
Bad waifu taste tho smh...
Stop it

Just saw this, these computers were included with the graphics card. They were used at my work for Surveillance systems with Genetec camera systems. This is the exact spec from them. The upgraded them in about 2018-2019, so I am thinking these are extras, or refurbs.
i used to hate your videos and avoid you at all costs for no reason other than i didnt like you. now i have opened my heart and cant stop watching you. keep making the vids
“It looks like It dreams in excel spreadsheets”. Love it lol
as someone who has recently had a pacemaker implant, i can comfortably say that i do enjoy playing half-life 2.. framerates get a little low at times, but still playable. 7/10 not bad.
This has been upgraded by another UA-camr and it worked like a champ.
can you give the link if you still know which one?
The weird owo port is a serial port, I think. Precursor to USB- no longer used in most modern systems
