You are a good person for helping out that person. We need more like you. Cheers
Nice save and mod! Love the rgb strip addition. You're always very creative.
You’ve performed a kind and generous service. Good karma will follow you 😊
I never got scammed, but I did get a pretty awesome deal a year or two back! I'd say it was a few months before the Quest 3 launched, I posted my Quest 2 with a few extras on marketplace. Ended up in a trade, I got a Ryzen 5 5600 & Rx 6700XT for it! The guy was just really interested in checking out VR & had upgraded away from these parts, so I ended up with a hella good deal on my end. Still using both today 👌
I never buy off Facebook market place. I only buy computers at $25 a pop from my local E-waste recycler.
yes most pcs are xp ones hear better ones on Ebay
@@EastAngliaUK XP PCs are still useful for those that require such a PC, very good for running older games and programs that won't play nicely with newer operating systems.
Hey man we all aren't like this. I sell lots of my builds on market place. I buy lots of parts too through market place. That being said I've also wasted a lot of gas from people trying to scam. I report those people right away so nobody else gets scammed.
@@TheSpotify95 core 2 quad PC’ s are great if you are learning how to code. I’ve gotten most modern games with the exception of Easy Anti Cheat games to play on the core 2 quad using Intels SDE instruction set emulator.
Anyway, dont know how my question deviated discussing XP PC’s etc. you can get 10th gen intels, and modern ryzen PC’s at the e waste recyclers for $25
@@forzaflyracer3473 Im a cheap bastard. 1- you can never beat a broken or used PC for $25. There is very little risk because even if it wont work from a bad mobo, powersupply, CPU, or RAM dismantelling will yield a minimum of 100% against that computer not working.
Now if I buy from some douchebag on Facebook Market Place and pay $75 to $100. I would have to spend more time and energybon the part out its just not worth it.
FACTS from doing craigslist/FB Market place/ Offer UP. There are no returns and people ghost others. When I use to do these inline market places. 70% of GPU’s I would get prior to my testing were bad and 50% would ghost me. On PC’s even if they do work, I have to waste my time and energy to get a hunk of junk to work minimizing my profits. That happens with atleast 50% of computers on these online market places.
If you have access to Ewaste for $25 with no discretions. Why even waste time, energy and money with someone on these market places? I would rather pay a mark up on places like ebay with a money back guaranty if a seller ghosts me.
Check for hair in the fan of the GPU I had a RX570 or RX580 do that and it was a long hair wrapped in the fan.
That was very decent of you to help that person out. However, you're message of "Buyer Beware" is very real! Since I'm a builder, I've never purchased a used PC from anyone, but I have picked up some second-hand parts on rare occasions. In truth, I've experienced about 50 % luck going that route. Nonetheless, the sellers were gracious and refunded me the money.
I have that same case with a a ryzen 3800x and 2070s in it. Even with a cooler Master cooler, I still have to keep the glass off cause it runs so hot 😂
Thats a shame cause the case itself doesn't look half bad tbh lol
Dang, that was unlucky. I had something similar just recently. Bought a PC for an Asus Poseidon that "didn't post"
Turns out the motherboard and RAM was also bad.
Sometimes you just gotta move on.
Good video.
Yes if you are going to look at a system Id recommend taking the portable version of HWInfo with you on a USB stick and running it on the PC. Itll list all the specs of the hardware without disassembly which you can check against the listing.
Wow, i am first for a change. That pc is terrible. Nothing in it, is as described. Poor guy :(
Dope spider-man picture.
Great to see some love, rare these days, all best wishes and luck to you.
When you took the side panel off i was like dang it looks worse then the Verge PC. 🤣
That was a really cool thing you did to help that guy out! I hope he appreciated it as much as we did! I like that case. Something about white. Maybe it's just because it's different or a departure from the ordinary. You are right about buying used PC's. It seems like people are trying to scam way more now then they have in the past. It's unfortunately because of the anonymity of the internet. You can hide behind a user profile. It makes the rest of us look bad too.
Glad to hear that you managed to get the system up and running again! That's exactly what I would have done as well - get the system up and running with what you have available.
And as for that Dell Optiplex that you took the CPU out of... someone will probably buy that Dell even with the Pentium CPU, just as a general everyday office box.
Yes, I too would avoid cases with no airflow. I had one for my PC and the CPU (R5 3600) was hitting 95 C with its stock cooler, so I swapped it out for a Phanteks Enthoo Pro (needed the HDD and ODD slots) and it worked wonders!
Breaking MOBO parts with paint brush. Priceless. subbed and liked. thanx
To: DLM tech garage, I live in Northwest NJ and always have computers and computer parts lying around I try to sell or usually just forced to trash them. My oldest stuff is ASUS Z270 Formula with 1000w Antec Power supply's and EVGA RTX 780ti all the way up to the Latest Motherboards RAM and Processors, SSD's, and Power Supply's. I would put-em up for sale and usually get Sceptics or Scammers, mostly just looking and always asking questions, never buying. So if you need parts or whole computers I have laying around reply. you never know I might have something. (keep in mind everything has to go so free is part of the deal) Although shipping large PS's is on you, but I'll back it with a guarrentee! And as I said throwing this stuff out breaks my heart because everything I have, all of it works well.
P.S. I "Liked" your video gave it a "Thumbs Up", "Subscribed" and "Clicked" the "Bell" hoping to get more of your Videos
greatly appreciate. Email me at dlmtechgarage@gmail.com, always looking to stock up!!
That was really kind of you to give the person in question a nice working PC. Sure a i7-6700 won't run Windows 11, but it's a hell of a lot better than a non-working machine.
I'd personally try and get the system up and running, but again, I don't think it has the right spec given the VGA and DVI ports on the motherboard, as well as the dual PS2 ports. I would guess that this is around the 2nd - 4th gen Intel era, and definitely NOT 10th gen.
edit: I was a bit off, LGA 1151 was 6th gen though 8th gen... still not 10th gen, which I think is LGA 1200.
edit 2: 8:00 Pentium, yeah! Not worth the $250 especially with a broken GPU. This would be OK as a general everyday tasks PC, but not much else.
Technically lga 1151 was 6th through 9th gen but would require a z370 / z390 to run a 8th or 9th gen cpu but 6th and 7th gen ran on z170 and z270 respectively. Although, back in those days there was a mod called the "coffeetime mod" that would allow you to run a 8th or 9th gen cpu on a z170 motherboard but required some research and tampering with the motherboard and cpu.
Damn that was a big profit for the scammer. $50 for the case, $20 for the used psu, $50 max for the mobo and cpu, and around $20 for mismatched ram, $30 for the boot drive. He woulda just used around $170 for all the parts. But most likely he just got those for free since someone might need to get some more space in their house, $80 profit and $250 profit + if he was paid to dispose of it. Because there are companies and offices that pay to dispose of the ewaste of offices that are closing down.
I never buy PCs from Facebook, I've heard too many horror stories. Still, I used to rock that same PSU until this month. Ended up upgrading my graphics from a GT 710 to an RX 580 and wanted to be sure nothing would go wrong. Ended up making a mistake according to a friend of getting a 550 watt MSI PSU, but it's still working. I almost had a PC horror story the way the GPU was packaged though, the faceplate was bent, it wasn't properly in the protective plastic, and it was in it's box upside down. I was scared but it still works. I don't think I'm gonna by buying a GPU from Amazon again after that experience. But yeah, I saw that PSU in that "scam PC" and thought "this thing isn't gonna be pretty". Good PSU, just low powered and something cheap people get. But I could already tell that the main issue was the GPU before you started, I've had issues with PCs having bad GPUs in the past.
Man this PC is a perfect example of buyer beware. I like the look of the case but that's a lot of money for that thing. 😅
Yeah, people can easily dress up an old ageing system with a modern case...
Also that case had zero airflow!
@@TheSpotify95 I have a Dremel bit that can fix that 😉
Hope your channel grows a lot more
thanks!!
Creating customers for life. I hope they loved it.
dude has been happy and even upgraded the gpu!!
That was the most Acer looking non Acer pc i have ever seen
I too have a 2009 Toyota Camry LOL.... Great car, just keeps going, only had 1 real issue in 13years
Hi there! I can't say "I got scammed" per-say. but i bought a Z230 for about $60 barebones (No hard drive, no OS (Obviously) about a year ago. I knew from the git-go that i wanted to convert it to a gaming PC (i'm using it right now), anyway, I added a cheap wifi card ($10) & 8 gbs dr3 (It came with 8 already, so 16 GBs total.) I then got a Quadro 1000 video card. Now the problem was, it had a 300+ watt power supply in it. After about 3 months it went "poof", no power (It must've blown), ok? I replaced it with the same "used" power supply ($15, yes you get what you pay for, i know). Guess what happened 3 months later? It blew too....again! So (I was saying to myself the whole time "I should covert this to an ATX"), but lets see what happens until it went "poof". Ok, so i did! I got an ATX 750 watt power supply ($135!). Its running fine so far. Do you think ill have the same problem, do you think itll blow too?
if you got a good power supply form a reputable company you should be fine. Also check your power cable and ensure the wall socket is not damage. I have seen faulty wall sockets cuase these issues.
@@DLMtechgarage That is a good point! I was thinking the motherboard, but I have my sound system plugged into the same "socket" (With a surge protector), no issues. But since this post my PC HAS shut off unexpectingly, but I was able to turn it back on. Could it be a power surge (Like i said, I DO have high end surge protector)? Thank you!
Talk about a scam... Personally, I haven't been scammed per say... But I did buy a pc, brand new, that stopped working 3 weeks after. Sent it back, seller asked if I wanted a refund or to get it fixed... Turned idiot for a moment and said, "fix it". the guys "fixed it" and returned it only for it to stop working in around 2 weeks. And the C19 hit and everything came to a full stop. Even deliveries, so the warranty went to hell. Had to try and have it fixed outside, changed the motherboard twice. The CPU once. Always ended up failing shortly after. So I just gave up on it. As of today I just have the case on my sister's house. The SSD and HDD I gave to her to use as storage units. Other inner pieces I gave to a guy nearby just as spare parts. So yeah...
Anyway, as of now I'm using an sff hp desktop I got from my mom, the elitedesk 705 g1. Heck, thanks to that mini I found this channel xD
🙂 i think some parts are cursed or haunted cause I have seen testimonies where they replaced everything and it still doesnt work rite, its so creepy 👻🤔👻
If all the main parts were replaced and it kept failing you probably had a problem with your Power Supply.
@@jaycahow4667 🙂 yes thats a good point thanks
@@jaycahow4667 yeah... That was the final concensus. People checked the piece but they say it was fine... It wasn't until later that a friend of my dad took a look he discovered the piece had a flaw. It was weird. Worked fine initially but after a while it would fluctuate and cause a mess. But by that point, I gave up.
@@jaycahow4667 Yeah... Eventually that was the conclusion we reached... But by that point I've given up.
completely true, just put the biggest nvme or ssd you can put and a problem avoided, hard disks are a thing of the past, the case at least looks nice
at least some parts could be recovered, sometimes all is just e waste
I brought few part's off offerup Craigslist but been lucky and some ebay when need a quick part but rather buy from reputable company then second ✋️ hand marketing
holy shit i thought thumbnail was screenshot from pc building simulator 2

Whenever I build a low-end system with a small SSD and a larger HDD, I "move" the Desktop and Downloads to the larger drive... Just a thought.
With my systems that have multiple drives, Downloads/Documents/Music/Photos/Videos are put on the larger hard drive.
Programs and OS on the SSD, everything else on the HDD.
Moving desktop to separate drive is very stupid. Because now if the 2nd drive is removed, dies or otherwise connection is lost to it, the desktop stuff won't load and be usable. Downloads, sure. But never move a Desktop folder to separate drive.
@@SapphireThunder Well, keeping files on the desktop is stupid in the first place. The point is that when you have a very small SSD and a person you're selling the PC to is not tech-savvy, that is an option... Did you watch the video at all?
@@mkrleza If person isn't tech-savvy, moving the Desktop files on another drive than C drive is even worse. Because then when something goes wrong, small issue becomes larger issue.
@@SapphireThunder OMG, this is gonna become an online discussion... How so? Again, in the spirit of this particular video, you either put one large SSD like DLM did, you do what I suggested, or you educate the buyer... Geez! Watch the video, and grasp the context!
Being and old builder from the CompUSA days the minute I saw the slots for the original metlal panel underneath the tempered glass I knew that case was a mutt. That, plus the 2.5" drive just hanging would give me pause. LOL
compusa!!! some of my greatest child hood memories are from that place!!!
I might have missed it but did you happen to check the other outputs on the original graphics card? It MIGHT have been the output that was being used was bad and not the card itself. Just an idea.
some years ago i helped a friend get a used motherboard and cpu combo for a really good price from facebook market and after he built the pc he was getting blue screens and i told him how to update the bios and bluescreens gone
bad fan doesnt make the GPU
bad... little mineral oil
helps (for a while)
but if the gpu is bad, its bad.
250 for that pc (even if it worked)
was still a rip off.
Pentium processor....????
if that was the original power supply
i guess thats 30 bucks of the money
back already, wifi card, board, and ram,
possibly fans.. but still most people
that wouldnt be worth it without
having plans to flip.
It’s like they were stuck and prototype arrangement
You don't get scammed these days with the information that is out there, sadly some people are just slow in the head.
It's an antique and I think it's a waste of money.
If it's on Ebay paid with PayPal, your covered..
Those stock coolers make me want to hurl.
I never buy second hand. Save my money and wait.
Would you consider doing a series like Brian from tech yes city, the 100$ flip up challenge, where you start with 100$ and sell computers until you get a flagship pc. Judging by today's economy, 150$ is a better starting point
I want to but it is hard with a full time job.
I recently got scam for $50 on Facebook market. It was for a “deposit”. Extremely irritating as if anyone can afford to just be handing out money.
Oh,THAT ONE!!!
at least the weefee works xd
i have that case its a hot box don't use it.
yoooo i have weefee in my computer too
My man did it again. He resurrected a PC
If there a quick way to know what intel motherboards are compatible with what CPUs and how to classify Intel's new "Pentium" CPUs?
The socket number is usually printed on the motherboard, the socket number will let you know what processor it supports. Hard to remember them all just whip out your phone and google it, I remember most of them but would still google it for sure. That’s a 1151 socket the processor the original scammer claimed it to be is socket 1200.
I picked up a dell precision of craigslist for 20$ and it has a i7 4790k and 16gb of ram.
nice find
friends ar the worst scammers when your relying on parts working properly eg psu's ram mb buyer beware lol
Only thing I complain that guy that bought this from the seller wow I cant say much from today learning how to do cable management (I feel bad for that guy that go scamed) but the seller sucked at cable management or was just thinking wow I sell as-is this but dang Im happy you was able to turn it around and give it back life to sell for a better home and I do agree and I have bad taste that case to me not good but the case I got is standard for me even thought I rig it with a fan that has speed control to push alot of air in

Ok, outside of Flea Bay, where the consumer has a a lot more protections, don't know why anyone would waste time out of their lives on any of the BS places....
def a gamble!!
Cyberpower tried to scam me.
When i picked the parts for my pc i picked a 360mm aio because i heard before hand i9 12900k like to run super hot.
When the pc came it had a 240mm aio in it i double and triple checked everything else was what i ordered then demanded they take it back and put in what i paid for and they did.
it tock a week because the queen's funeral closed the postal service and the pc got stuck in shipping for couple of days because of it.
When i got it back i double and triple checked everything including the aio was what i paid for and it was.
Like why even try that with someone who custom picked parts i clearly new what parts i wanted.
It just makes you wonder how many old people order for their grandkids and get comply ripped off because they have no clue what any of it is.
I have seen to many junk pc's from them come through my garage for repairs...
rip the ram slot 💀💀💀
i betcah the computer works when you plug a hard drive
good day
same to you!!

Back at Christmas 2023, I got scammed on Facebook Marketplace for $500, purchasing a RTX 4080 16G.
I was planning on an upgrade, make my GF a gaming PC, and make my autistic son his first PC. Dad ate the 💩 sandwich and made sure I was the only one without, lol. Live and learn. 🤷♂️
I really dislike people who do that.
Re-upload?
motherboard old that why not new motherboard
I should not watch but am going to force myself....

🙂 the post screen should still show up and an error message stating 'no drive'
Except there was a Samsung SSD in there...
wee fee lol.
haha it says made in china on the back of the case
Quelle SUPER S
You did not help him, the guy had ddr4 and a processor that can run windows 11 big, You gave him 3 gen older and, you did not tell us about the Quadra you probobly stuck in that old biz PC, smh
I gave him an i7 6700 system, 16gb ddr4, 512 m.2 with a 1650... that works for free
this one had a pentium cpu with a r7 250 and 120gb ssd....
no sure how I did not help him????
I think I am caught in a possible scam, however I can't figure it "the scam". 2x xbox controllers (XS/elite) listed faulty - a steal at £14, I have a tracking but no movement. I will moan to ebay soon...✌
