We bought a Gaming PC on eBay that has some older parts and claims it may need a new hard drive, we’re taking a gamble but at only $100 + shipping we figured why not!? Let’s see if we can repair and upgrade this PC for a little profit or if we made a mistake.

I'd let this puter go for $175. You should be close to breaking even and it gives someone a chance to get into the PC market. Also a good deal now on some older parts will hopefully bring back a customer when they want to upgrade or build.

@tbthunderer Жыл бұрын
I'd say roughly 200 would be a good start point. Maybe even a little less. Personally, if I was able to monetize/sponsor the video on it, I would probably let it go for 150-175. Thoughts being that it could get somebody into PC gaming, and if you offer a good enough deal, you will be the first person they will think of when it comes to upgrading/replacing.

I used to work for a pc refurbishing company and this is how they packed their refurbished pc's. I was the only tech support but also did customer service and the amount of pc's that we had to replace cause they refused to package things correctly for the longest time. not to mention they refused to replace the thermal paste or change out the bios batteryfor these old 12 year old pcs and yes I checked they were manufactured 12 years back when i was working there. eventually quit the place was just ripping folks off essentially

Sometimes if you install a Windows Pro setup on a PC that had Windows Home version it won't activate, but if you hit troubleshoot sometimes it will tell you that it has a key tied to it just not the version you installed. I've had to do that a few times because I always use Pro version on new installs. If there is a Home key tied to the motherboard though you just have to wipe and reinstall Home version.

I use a hair dryer on low at the base of my cooler. This seems to prevent the cooler to stay stuck to the cooler. Which are aftermarket coolers that attach to themselves with adapter rings or other ways that screw into the socket bracket, or its own back plate. Deepcool 400 uses the clips on the side of CPU bracket.

Im sure you guys already understand, would be interesting if there's a way for you to become fully gpu bound, I wonder if the game would of had less stutters had you of been 99-100% gpu bound. Interesting results for sure 🙏🤟

@JinghisKhan Жыл бұрын
I would say $200 or so. You got some content out of it, and the parts in there just have no upgrade path whatsoever so whoever buys this will just be holding on to a DDR3 FX machine with an old GPU for extremely light gaming and some daily use. If this were even a 1st Gen Ryzen machine or a slightly more modern Intel machine, I'd say you could go higher, but not with this configuration.
