I Bought An "RGB Custom Built Gaming PC" from Etsy.com...

Ғылым және технология

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.

    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

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.

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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    Actually bought that same GPU, a R7 240 for secondary monitors, as it works with the same newer drivers that my R9 Fury does. Works pretty well for that. Kind of a shame the card I first got for that didn't work, a FirePro V7900 with 4 display ports and it's single slot, but it turns out that uses the terascale 3 arch like the HD 6000 series so won't work with newer drivers. At least it was really cheap. Also apparently the Firepro performs around the same as a HD 7790, RX 550, or Geforce GTX 470, all of which are about 250% faster than the R7 240. Just looked at these two on Ebay and for some reason the price of even these cards has gone way up. I paid like $15 for the R7 240 and like $30 for the Firepro v7900 and now people want like $30 to $50 for the R7 240 and like $50 to $100 for the Firepro V7900?! Oh also, two of the USB on the front of the case had 'SS' next to them? Maybe they are USB 3 but not colored?

Sold it for $150 later on which is ridiculous

    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.

    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.

    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.

    PS/2 ports are still included on many AMD socketed boards, I'm using a G703 alongside an M-S34 ball mouse on PS/2 with my B350 system. But yeah.. On Intel boards, that's a nice warning sign if you're looking to get something new. Though do keep in mind that from second gen i5 and up, you still get competent performance when paired with the right system. They second gen i5 through 4th gen i5 begin to struggle with games like Battlefield V, however. Many people still running second gen i7's are still happy with them in modern titles, though pairing something like a 3080 with one would just result in an underutilized 3080 save for extreme cases.

    Having watched the video now, if you have a system like this, put a low profile 1030 or 1050 in it, perhaps a low profile RX 550 if such a card exists. Assuming it's a second gen i5 based on the manufacturing date, a second gen i7-2600 non-K would be a great match for a 1050 and should be a drop-in upgrade, though do check your motherboard just incase. Forums are a good place to start as well, as some boards support CPUs that Dell doesn't officially list, and many people have tried these swaps already. These small form factor power supplies are also replaceable, though pricy. All-in-all, this system could be brought up to par pretty quickly and be gaming above the level of a PS4, but eons away from ever matching a PS5.
