1 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:19,600 We secret shopped them. They shipped. And now it's time for us to solve the 2 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:22,560 mystery of which PC gaming company 3 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:27,359 offers the best out ofbox experience. We'll be looking everywhere for clues. 4 00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:31,439 How long did they take to arrive? What's included in the box? Was the box 5 00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:36,320 protective enough for the dangerous shipping process? And at the end, we'll 6 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:40,960 be ready to crown a winner and a loser. What is this doing 7 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:46,320 here? Our sponsor, Delini, protect your personal data by removing your data from 8 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:49,760 hundreds of data brokers because only you have the right to own your data. Why 9 00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:55,320 don't we open up with one that's bound to be amusing, my dear Plson? Good old 10 00:00:52,559 --> 00:01:00,079 Dell. Good's a strong word. According to our case file, we're 11 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:05,119 off to a very good start here, receiving our system just two full business days 12 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:09,840 after we placed our order online. We also get a one-year warranty that is not 13 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:15,600 just remote diagnosis, but apparently includes on-site 14 00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:18,400 service. The box issues any frills like 15 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:22,159 full color printing, but is extremely high quality. And you can tell that Dell 16 00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:26,479 has a lot of experience moving systems around the world. Not only does it have 17 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:31,680 dual corrugated layers, but it is extremely thick and the paper layers on 18 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:35,680 both sides give it exceptional rigidity. There are a couple of others that are 19 00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:40,960 quite similar. Star Forge may be on par. As for HP, well, they're close, but no 20 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:46,520 cigar. You know all about dual layers, don't 21 00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:49,360 you, Lilock? Dual layers. The backpack. 22 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:53,320 Oh, he solved the mystery of how to hurt my feelings. I'm not expecting too much 23 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:59,159 in terms of accessories. And I got it. They've even 24 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:04,960 costed down your classic C13 power connector. It has slightly less copper 25 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:09,840 in it. Stargazer brand. That is the cheapest C13 I've ever seen in my life. 26 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:13,920 Wi-Fi antenna. It's nice that the system has Wi-Fi, although it's less of an 27 00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:19,120 exceptional feature these days than it was the first time we did a Secret 28 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:21,120 Shopper. And that's it. No keyboard, no 29 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:26,800 mouse. Dell has finally come around to the idea that after 50 odd years of the 30 00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:29,720 personal computer industry, we probably already have a keyboard and mouse 31 00:02:28,239 --> 00:02:35,680 kicking around. I actually consider that to be a 32 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,760 plus. Oh, I don't consider this to be a 33 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:42,959 plus, though. This is a reasonably high quality foam, but I don't like to see it 34 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:49,040 in this day and age. It's completely non-recyclable. This will just live in a 35 00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:51,360 landfill forever. Now we get to take a 36 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:57,599 look at the system itself. Years ago, Dell moved beyond boring beige boxes, 37 00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,800 and now they're bringing them back. This 38 00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:03,519 is XPS. Do you remember when XPS systems 39 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:07,519 looked cool? It's more gray than beige. It doesn't look like a gaming computer. 40 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:12,080 No, but but it looks like a computer. She also didn't sell us a gaming 41 00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:15,840 computer. We bought an XPS. I don't mind 42 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:18,159 having a peel, but this is a really 43 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:23,280 annoying one. With that said, the front IO actually kind of outstanding. Four 44 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:27,440 USB ports, two of which are charging optimized, one of which operates at 10 45 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:32,720 GB per second. We also get a headphone microphone combo jack and an SD card 46 00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:41,280 reader. Plenty of ventilation on the front, the side, and at the back with a 47 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:44,560 120 mm exhaust. And then our rear IO is 48 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:48,720 Wow, we get a 20 GB USBC port here, as 49 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:51,040 well as full 5.1 analog audio for all 50 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:54,959 six people who are using it. Our Wi-Fi antennas don't take up any of our 51 00:03:52,480 --> 00:04:02,360 limited IO space. And it appears that opening up the chassis is as simple as 52 00:03:57,519 --> 00:04:04,840 unlocking this one captive 53 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:12,879 screw. And yes, it is. Huh. Oh, look at that. Nice little 54 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:15,680 guide for how to install a GPU or power 55 00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:20,560 supply or hard drive. That'll save them some service calls. Coming over to the 56 00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:25,040 inside. Wow, do I ever like this GPU mount. It uses a combination of these 57 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:29,919 plastic pieces on rails and this metal extension to basically prevent it from 58 00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:33,520 going anywhere in shipping. I'm extremely confident in this. So far, my 59 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:40,080 only complaint though is that they didn't have a little sticker on the back for the motherboard IO. Ah, yes. It's an 60 00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:43,440 elementary thing they could have done better. That's right. Unfortunately, 61 00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:50,240 there's another thing that immediately stands out to me, and that is the single 62 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:52,639 16 GB stick of 32 gigs. So, they weren't 63 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:58,320 even cheaping out. No. Oh, that's right. I forgot about that. I actually had 64 00:04:54,320 --> 00:05:00,080 trouble finding 32 gig single sticks at 65 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,800 this speed and everything, like just sold individually when I was trying to 66 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:08,880 figure out pricing for all the different systems, cuz no one would buy that. you 67 00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:09,880 would get 216 gig stick or 232, 68 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:15,280 but DDR5 does work a lot better in single 69 00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:20,880 stick configurations. I'm not saying it's perfect, no, but it's not as bad as 70 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,120 DDR4 days. He is right. But what he 71 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:27,199 won't be able to defend is this power supply. Dell has gone to 12vt only power 72 00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:31,520 for their motherboards, which is good for efficiency, but bad for 73 00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:36,840 intercompatibility. So, when it comes time to upgrade this thing, which you 74 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:39,600 will need to given that it is only a 75 00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:44,560 460W unit, you will have to get a specific Dell power supply. A lot of the 76 00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:48,160 other things are intercompatible, though. Look at that. Nice little 77 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:52,960 courtesy connectors for a hard drive upgrade, SATA power, and data. Two 78 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:56,800 easily accessible M.2 slots, one of which is open for future upgrades. 79 00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:01,919 Interchangeable Wi-Fi card. And would you look at that? A second courtesy 80 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:06,160 connector for a potential second hard drive upgrade. That's really nice. Wish 81 00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:10,960 I could say the same about the CPU cooler. That could hurt them when it's 82 00:06:07,919 --> 00:06:13,360 time to test thermals. Overall though, I 83 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:18,319 kind of like this package. It's well constructed. Ease of use is very high as 84 00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:22,400 long as you uh don't want to upgrade the proprietary motherboard or power supply. 85 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:27,520 and they should have one of the best performing CPUs out of the bunch as long 86 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:33,440 as that single stick of memory doesn't kneecap it. All right, why don't we move 87 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,759 on to Main Gear. One last thing while he 88 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:40,160 brings that down is we tried to build an identical system on PC Part Picker and 89 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:44,639 without making major compromises to the specs or features simply weren't able to 90 00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:47,840 do it for the same price, even ignoring the cost of a Windows license. That 91 00:06:46,479 --> 00:06:51,360 doesn't mean that we would normally choose this exact spec, but it does mean 92 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:56,319 that we at least weren't getting ripped off on the hardware. This does not look 93 00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:01,520 as promising. It took 9 days to reach us. We've got a downgraded CPU, a 94 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:04,479 downgraded GPU, and we actually spent a 95 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:12,000 little bit more overall. We still get a 1-year warranty, and we get an RGB 96 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:14,639 exhaust fan, but only, excuse me, 16 GB 97 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:19,759 of memory, albeit in dual channel mode. Let's take a look at the packaging. Ah, 98 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:23,919 you know what? I think Main Gear gets pretty good grades for their packaging, 99 00:07:21,599 --> 00:07:27,919 too. It was hard to tell because of the way that it's cut at the edges, but 100 00:07:25,599 --> 00:07:32,400 that's a really nice box. Ooh, and they've got that fancy chemical 101 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:36,240 expanding foam as well. Zero points for environmental friendliness, but massive 102 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:41,360 points for being willing to spend on your packing material. And would you 103 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:48,400 look at this? Are they trying to impress me? The whole system is double 104 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:51,720 boxed. Calling it right now. Zero damage 105 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:54,080 to the main gear system. 106 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:57,520 Whoa. Something still managed to almost kick all the way through it. Oh, too bad 107 00:07:55,919 --> 00:08:03,120 I already made that call. If only video editing existed. Look at that. Like that 108 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:09,840 weak ass kick was going to make it through this chemical expanding foam in 109 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:13,759 here. Hey, very nice. Builder QA final 110 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:15,520 inspection. Love to see it. Also, this 111 00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:21,120 really sets the boutique builders apart from the tier 1's. BIOS flashing. Latest 112 00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:28,160 drivers. Love it. That's probably why it took 9 days to get here. 113 00:08:23,759 --> 00:08:30,720 More foam. Oh man, that's a nice foam. 114 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:34,000 Look at that bounce. 115 00:08:34,519 --> 00:08:39,200 Oh, that doesn't count as damage. Before 116 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:43,080 we check out the system, let's have a look at the accessories. We've got a 117 00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:48,480 couple cute little stickers here. Decent quality power cord. Thank 118 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:51,839 you, Main Gear. Or should I say MSI, who makes the power supply that's included 119 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:56,160 with this system. By the way, that is a big difference between this and our 120 00:08:53,279 --> 00:09:02,000 Dell. It's a 650 W unit, which should give us some room to grow. A lot better 121 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:04,720 than a 460 W unit. In this little 122 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:09,200 baggie, we've got all the random little bits and 123 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:14,959 pieces that came with any of our hardware. RGB controller and a battery 124 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,959 for it. Moving on to the system. IO is 125 00:09:14,959 --> 00:09:22,560 pretty strong. We lose out on one of those USB ports and that SD card reader, 126 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:27,519 but we've got a little bit more USB at the back, which is nice to see. Also 127 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:30,959 love to see all the ventilation back top and front. There's a little gap around 128 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:36,640 there. magnetic front plate here that reveals 129 00:09:33,279 --> 00:09:39,519 three 120 mm cooling fans. And now 130 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:44,640 without further ado, let's go ahead and pop off the side panel. Now, it is worth 131 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:48,240 noting that this is the MG1 Silver. And Main Gear actually reached out to us 132 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:52,959 after we placed our order offering us the MG1 Gold, which was technically 133 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:58,880 within our budget, but we didn't take it because, well, we don't normally factor 134 00:09:55,279 --> 00:10:02,080 in shipping. It was $177 with this unit. 135 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,519 And they over budget before we even do 136 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:09,600 the upgrade. Yeah. And the upgrade would have put it just at around like 137 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:13,680 1385,400 right at the top of it. So they would have effectively have had 10% more 138 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:17,040 budget compared to anyone else. Yeah. But we do really appreciate the offer. I 139 00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:21,760 mean, hey, it's nice to come in with a deal after the fact. They've already made the sale. I can see why their 140 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:28,040 shipping is so expensive. They spend this much on their packing materials and 141 00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:32,079 the system works. or well maybe the system works. I haven't 142 00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:36,519 actually tried it yet. What are we looking at here? Total of four cooling 143 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:42,480 fans, one RGB, what looks like an OEM Cooler 144 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:44,320 Master tower cooler. Much more robust 145 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:48,880 looking than what we saw in the Dell. Dual channel memory. I'm still 146 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:52,720 disappointed with the spec, but what I'm not disappointed by is the expansion. 147 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:57,200 Compared to the Dell, which only had one PCIe slot available, this one has three. 148 00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,880 Although it is worth noting they're not as impressive as they look. Those are 149 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:06,240 16x physical slots, but they're only wired up for PCIe by one electrically. 150 00:11:04,399 --> 00:11:10,240 There's a 3D printed bracket that I didn't notice before. I don't know if 151 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:15,680 that's providing much support for the GPU, but it's certainly not providing 152 00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:18,800 zero support for the GPU. As I would 153 00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:21,519 expect, superb build quality from Main 154 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:25,839 Gear. My goodness, does this thing ever look nice. But there is one little thing 155 00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:31,680 that I would argue that they overlooked. There are two PCIe Gen 4x4 slots on this 156 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:35,760 motherboard. One of which is pretty easy to access up here. That's where they 157 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:40,959 installed my SSD. And the other of which is under my GPU. If they'd put my boot 158 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:45,839 SSD under the GPU, I wouldn't have to remove my GPU in order to upgrade. There 159 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:50,640 is a third slot down here, but that one operates off the chipset, and it is a a 160 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:55,160 slower slot. Unlike Dell, we were able to beat Main Gear's price with a DIY 161 00:11:52,959 --> 00:12:00,160 system by about $150. But it is worth noting that a DIY 162 00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:04,000 system wouldn't include Main Gear's lifetime tech support, which from our 163 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:07,200 experience has been pretty good, at least in the past. We'll find out if 164 00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:10,959 it's still good a little bit later in the series. Who should we move on to 165 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:14,440 next? Maybe we'll finish off the top shelf with Cyberpower. Cyberpower it is. 166 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:19,360 Let's do it. This one could be a little more 167 00:12:16,959 --> 00:12:23,680 interesting. See, Cyberpower actually cancelled our order because they thought 168 00:12:20,959 --> 00:12:27,680 we were scammers. Yeah. Which we kind of were. You know, when you buy six 169 00:12:25,519 --> 00:12:31,600 computers on one credit card over the course of 2 days using someone else's 170 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:35,600 credit card, it raises a few flags cuz we didn't want anybody to know it was 171 00:12:32,959 --> 00:12:40,079 us. Yeah. Um so they canceled it. We got the email. I was out Monday, Tuesday, so 172 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:44,320 I didn't get it until Wednesday. And then by the time we went to go order it 173 00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:48,000 Yeah, that box is bad. Um, by the time we get went to go order our new 174 00:12:45,839 --> 00:12:51,839 computer, that one was sold out. And so, we went with the next cheapest thing, 175 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:55,839 uh, which is now also sold out. So, here's the plan. We're going to test 176 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,880 both the original configuration and the one we ended up with and give you guys 177 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:02,160 kind of a price to performance number for both, even though there are a couple 178 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,519 of little differences in the configurations. Okay, what do we got? 179 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:12,160 You got a keyboard. You know, the box would have been okay if it didn't completely fall apart. And this foam is 180 00:13:10,079 --> 00:13:16,959 great. This is some of the best foam we've seen so far, which it better be 181 00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:22,399 because they're relying on a single box and single foam piece to keep the system 182 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:26,560 safe and also keep our included keyboard and mouse safe. This is our first 183 00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:30,079 included set of peripherals. Let's go. You know what? Let's start by unboxing 184 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:35,120 these. As far as free included keyboards go, 185 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:40,560 it's mushy, but like I mean, it's got RGB, I'm sure. Yeah. And you know, you 186 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:43,320 know, how's the mess? These clicks are 187 00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:48,399 okay. Sure. These ones. On-site tech support. Ooh, they 188 00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:53,279 got a nice little guide to how to take off the side panel, take out packing 189 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:56,399 materials, where to plug GPUs in. Never 190 00:13:53,279 --> 00:13:59,120 into the DVI port. Clearly, this 191 00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:06,240 documentation was done a while ago. We also get our nicest C13 power cable yet. 192 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:11,760 She's the same gauge, but nice and flexible. Look at that. 193 00:14:08,959 --> 00:14:16,880 She's almost moldable. Wi-Fi antenna. And that's about it. That's what I want 194 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:20,880 to see on all of these. It's a single sticker and it just makes it super 195 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:24,639 obvious. Like, no, don't plug your monitors into that. No, plug it in way 196 00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:28,079 down here. But there's nothing. Wait, nothing. 197 00:14:25,639 --> 00:14:31,760 What? Okay. Well, that went a little It went a little too far. But like, 198 00:14:29,519 --> 00:14:35,560 whatever. Look, if you're going to idiot proof it, you got to actually idiot 199 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:41,920 proof it. That is the cheapest case we've seen 200 00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:44,720 yet. Cheaper than down little OEM Cooler 201 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:50,079 Master Affair. Well, yeah, we only get two USBAs on the front. Oh, we do get a 202 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:55,600 tempered glass side panel, though, and what looks like ample ventilation. This 203 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:59,959 whole thing is perforated, and we've got top vents with what looks like a 204 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:07,519 removable mesh. Well, there we go. as well as a 120 205 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,120 millimeter rear RGB exhaust fan. All 206 00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:13,720 right, let's take out Oh, wow. This is an That's an Wow, that's an aggressive 207 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:20,040 stick. Oh, it leaves residue. It left residue on my mesh. Why 208 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:26,279 Cyber Power? Why? Do not like that. Oh. Oh, it's all 209 00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:28,560 over here, too. Look at 210 00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:33,760 this. The sticker comes with some downsides. Okay, but it's worth the 211 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:37,720 headaches later. Hey, comes with a three-year labor 212 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:43,040 warranty, though. What does that even mean on a 213 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:49,839 computer? You ship it back, they work on it. No cyber power, please. Reasonable 214 00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:53,320 rear IO before we get into the insides. Dude, I don't think this foam in here is 215 00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:59,519 supporting anything. Watch. I can move this GPU and 216 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:03,040 it doesn't move the foam. 217 00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:05,800 Oh. O. Whoa. That's a lot of RGB fans 218 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:12,040 included. Three in the front, one in the back, and oh goodness sakes. Is this 219 00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:17,279 another 4068 gig? 220 00:16:14,199 --> 00:16:21,279 Yikes. 2 terb of storage to go along 221 00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:23,320 with our 16 gigs of RAM, though. Wait, 222 00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:28,800 is that another single stick? 14th gen Core i5. This time 223 00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:32,120 around, it's notable that not a single one of our system builders was using an 224 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:36,320 Intel Core Ultra. Other than that, there's not too 225 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:41,079 much to say here. Let's have a look at the build quality on the back 226 00:16:38,839 --> 00:16:46,399 side. Not bad. Good. Even no courtesy cables, 227 00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:50,480 though. That's a really nice inclusion from Dell if you ever want to throw in a 228 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:55,279 hard drive. And on that note, there's only a single M.2 slot available for 229 00:16:52,720 --> 00:17:00,000 expansion that way. It's weird though because other than that, it seems like a 230 00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:05,439 pretty featured board, including dual front USBC connectors, neither of which 231 00:17:03,199 --> 00:17:09,919 we're using. And then adding to the weirdness, there's no USBC on the back 232 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:13,280 either. I don't have super high hopes for this one, but at least it's got 233 00:17:11,439 --> 00:17:17,120 enough storage to install a handful of modern games. How'd it do compared to PC 234 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:20,959 Part Picker Plon? This one was easy to beat at $1,200. That's the listing, 235 00:17:19,360 --> 00:17:26,240 right? But we only purchased it. It was on sale for 1,000 bucks. Oh, so it's a 236 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:30,080 lot harder, but I think if you check it out. Yeah, we've managed just over a 237 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:35,520 grand. The problem is Windows licenses, right? So, we can't beat it technically. 238 00:17:31,919 --> 00:17:39,440 No, not on sale. Let's move on to our 239 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:42,400 next suspect, Mr. Packard. Hulet. Mr. 240 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:45,280 Hwlet Packard. Well, Mr. Hwlet and Mr. Packard. 241 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,280 We don't need to split hairs. Elementary. 242 00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:55,919 Uh, HP was a major headache. Um, they canceled our order twice. What? Yeah. 243 00:17:54,240 --> 00:18:02,960 When you buy a lot of computers with the credit card fraud. Ah. And it doesn't 244 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:05,280 help that Miss Katesson put her name as 245 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:09,520 the billing address instead of her grandmother's name. The worst part is 246 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:13,440 they canceled it. I reached out looking for our order because we didn't get a 247 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:17,360 notification. What? They just canled it without telling us. They just canceled 248 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:21,679 it without telling us. And then after I worked with an agent to reorder the 249 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:26,960 computer and verify it's all good, they canceled it again. And there was another 250 00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:30,480 lack of notice. So I had to reach out a second time and confirm what was even 251 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:36,640 the problem with our order and why it got cancelled in the first place and why we never got a notification. I complain. 252 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:38,880 I was very mad. But look at this 253 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:44,240 eco-friendly packing material. Yeah, that's true, actually. It's beautiful. 254 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:49,200 Wow. That'll break down. Yeah, this is great. I mean, once we got the order in, 255 00:18:46,799 --> 00:18:54,720 it came in only four business days. I don't like that it's a big plastic bag. 256 00:18:52,320 --> 00:19:00,559 Yeah. Wait, what? They did the nice foam cardboard stuff and then they got this 257 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:01,919 giant plastic bag. Oh, what? How do you 258 00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:07,039 Oh, this is how they want you to take it out. I would not trust that plastic. I'm 259 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:10,720 sure it's fine. Like, it's probably I get it. I get it. It's strong enough, 260 00:19:08,799 --> 00:19:16,960 but I would not feel comfortable. It's smart enough. And gosh darn it, people 261 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:20,240 like it. I I don't It's a reference. He 262 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:23,280 gets it. By the time our order was 263 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:25,120 finally actually placed, it came in at 264 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:28,559 $300 cheaper than the original. They gave us a sale discount, but I said, you 265 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:32,640 know, in terms of price and performance, this is weeks later from us trying to 266 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:36,960 place the original order, so I'm keeping the original price. Got it. That makes 267 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:40,960 sense, cuz that's a more fair apples to apples 268 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:47,440 comparison against the other systems. Pretty solid IO, though. Got a type-C on 269 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:50,320 the front. Actually nice feeling build 270 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:56,000 quality, too. Tempered glass. I do like this. Yeah, it feels really 271 00:19:52,880 --> 00:20:00,120 solid. Lots of ventilation everywhere. 272 00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:02,400 That is a pinner looking GPU, though. 273 00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:09,280 Yeah, but you know what's nice? It's going to be really easy to take it out, 274 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:13,799 pop the lock on the PCIe slot. Yes. 275 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:15,919 No 7.1 audio jacks, though. 276 00:20:13,799 --> 00:20:20,320 No, that's okay. It's got mic and headphone. Who cares? It's fine. 277 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:25,520 I realized I missed going over the accessories because I just missed them. 278 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:30,400 This is it. You get a quick start guide, which refreshingly actually refers to 279 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:35,120 this specific system with actual pictures of this chassis. So, that's 280 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:39,720 kind of cool. And you get a power cable with this adorable little interrogation 281 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:43,280 sock on the end. What? I'm a detective. What? How am 282 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:49,120 I What am I How am I supposed to interpret this? Set them free. 283 00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:52,960 Now, are you ready to talk? I don't think Sherlock Holmes interrogates 284 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:56,280 people like that. Ooh, captive thumb screws on the side panel. Won't be 285 00:20:54,960 --> 00:21:00,600 losing those. Not that I would lose them, and 286 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:06,400 if I did, I'd find them because I'm a 287 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:12,240 detective. And lots of cooling. This is refreshing for an OEM system. dual 120 288 00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:17,280 mm fans in the front, an adequate enough looking stock cooler, and a single 120 289 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:21,280 mm in the back. Not the most amazing cable management, but nothing that's 290 00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:25,039 going to functionally harm the system. And it's reusable, so you can kind of 291 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:30,400 undo these cable ties, redo your wiring, and then cinch it back up. Uh, did they 292 00:21:28,559 --> 00:21:35,600 leave a courtesy cable for me? It looks like they might 293 00:21:31,559 --> 00:21:37,280 have. Ah, yes, they did. both power and 294 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:42,480 data in case I wanted to add a hard drive after the fact. Thank you very 295 00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:46,159 much for that, HP. Also, wow, got a 296 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:48,080 whole RGB and fan control hub in here. 297 00:21:46,159 --> 00:21:51,440 That is not something to be taken for granted at this price point. And you 298 00:21:49,919 --> 00:21:56,000 can't take for granted good specs either. This was the first system that 299 00:21:53,919 --> 00:22:00,400 we were able to dramatically beat in price on PC Part 300 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:05,120 Picker. Pretty much across the board, this is a class losing configuration. 301 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:10,080 They managed to use dual channel memory, but just 16 gigs of it. They've got the 302 00:22:07,919 --> 00:22:14,159 same 1 TB of storage as almost everybody else, but the secondary slots's really 303 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:19,280 hard to reach under the GPU. They use standard MATX and ATX style motherboard 304 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:22,559 and power supply, which is great when you need to upgrade because you're 305 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:27,280 probably going to need to cuz that's just a 500 W 80 Plus bronze power 306 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:32,799 supply. Meaning that if you ever want to upgrade this RTX 4060, which is on the 307 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:37,200 lower end of our configurations, you might need a new one of those. I mean, 308 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:42,799 hey, it's got a swappable Wi-Fi slot. There's got to be some redeeming quality 309 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:45,760 here. They threw in free shipping, but 310 00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:49,840 only a one-year warranty. Man, I think it's time to move on. Let's check out 311 00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:54,640 the I by Power. You want to do I by Power? I do. Okay. That's kind of cool. 312 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:58,720 They put all the specs on the outer box. Yeah. This is the one that we had to 313 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:01,840 order from Amazon. They said, you know, we don't have any, but you can buy it 314 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,360 from Best Buy or Amazon. Here's the kind you want, the trace mesh. Best Buy 315 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,799 wouldn't send it to us cuz we're across the border. Amazon did send it to us, 316 00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:12,799 but we picked it up from, you know, Blaine. It'll be interesting to see how 317 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:15,760 customer support goes. They do have support for systems not bought directly 318 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,039 through Cyberpunk. Oh, yeah. Look at that. First thing you see when you open 319 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:22,799 it up, thank you for your purchase. Here's a quick start guide and reach out 320 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:27,440 to us for support. Here's our phone number. Perfect. I think they're 321 00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:31,360 probably one of the most improved over the span of Secret Shop. Really? Yeah. 322 00:23:29,679 --> 00:23:35,760 In the early days, they were pretty like, yeah, we throw parts into a box 323 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:41,919 and um this looks really professional. 324 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:45,120 Decent shipping box, nothing amazing, 325 00:23:41,919 --> 00:23:47,440 but good foam. And you can tell the box 326 00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:52,880 is obviously bespoke because it has the exact specs of our system right on the 327 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:56,559 outside of it. So, either they do such volume that they're ordering these from 328 00:23:54,320 --> 00:24:00,559 third parties preprinted, or they actually do box printing in house. I'm 329 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:04,000 not sure which. Five business days for delivery. Though, realistically, that 330 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:08,480 comes more down to Amazon than it does to IY Power. And a pretty barebones 331 00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:14,000 accessory package, but we got a power cable, SATA 332 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:16,360 cable, and a Wi-Fi antenna. Oh, man. 333 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:21,039 Wait, where the hell was the HP's Wi-Fi antenna? It had Wi-Fi. You know what? It 334 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:27,200 doesn't matter. I'm over the HP. I've moved on to new friend. Do not return to 335 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:32,159 store. Contact tech support. They really want us to contact tech support. Don't 336 00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:35,200 worry, I buy power. We will. Probably the biggest difference between this year 337 00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:39,200 and last year so far at least is the lack of keyboard and mouse. Yeah, we got 338 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:44,360 one, I think. Yeah. From Cyberpower. Last year, almost everyone sent one. 339 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:54,880 Oh, speak of the devil. No, 340 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:58,400 no. You were the chosen one. I by power 341 00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:01,120 responsive plunger key. The hell does 342 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:05,000 that mean? Hey, there's an anime girl with devil horns on the in the middle 343 00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:09,720 though. You know it's for gamers. That's very usable. 344 00:25:09,919 --> 00:25:14,320 Is it better than the cyber power? The price is right. 345 00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:19,840 I think it is better than the cyber power. And yeah, it does seem sturdier. 346 00:25:16,559 --> 00:25:21,760 very usable. Yeah, mouse feels cheaper. 347 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:26,080 It's funny because the OEMs used to be the kings of unnecessary bloat in your 348 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:30,799 package. Like you literally couldn't unselect a keyboard mouse if you wanted 349 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:36,559 to. And then now it's like the mid-tier PC builders that are going and creating 350 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,559 the more valueoriented 351 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:47,360 package. Oo, that's not good. Oh, there goes my 352 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:48,880 Oh boy. Oh, I buy power. Uh-oh. Oh, 353 00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:54,640 where do we start? They've got one of those expanding FOMO 354 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:56,880 magigs. Uh oh, shoot. No, no. I H. Now 355 00:25:54,640 --> 00:26:01,760 I'm just g Now I'm discombobulated. Let's start with the IO, even though the 356 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:05,039 case is now open. Top IO, two USB 3s, a 357 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:06,559 type-C. Love to see it. Hey, they've got 358 00:26:05,039 --> 00:26:13,440 your favorite sticker. Let's see if it leaves a bunch of residue this time. Yes, it's not going to leave residue. 359 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:18,000 I'm calling it now. 360 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:19,799 Parfait. Totally good. Oh, I buy power. 361 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:27,600 What? What? What? An elementary mistake. Look at the rear 362 00:26:23,799 --> 00:26:28,640 IO. This cable. Oh, I mean, I fixed it 363 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:33,120 pretty easily, but it was covering the PS2 port. The rear IO is very solid. 364 00:26:31,679 --> 00:26:38,000 Everything you could want, including a PS2 port that with a quick fix, we are 365 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:43,400 able to access. Miraculously, this tempered glass side panel did not get 366 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:45,600 damaged. Hey, they've got another good 367 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:49,919 sticker. They don't let you plug in the power until you have seen their warning 368 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:54,520 about the instructions. I didn't really need it, though, cuz my phone came with 369 00:26:51,840 --> 00:27:02,159 classic easy remove action. Triple 120 mm RGB fans in the 370 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:04,559 front. Another 120 mm fan in the back. 371 00:27:02,159 --> 00:27:10,640 What looks like some kind of rebranded Hyper 212 alike. Nice mounting mechanism 372 00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:12,480 on there and really solid cable 373 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:16,000 management. Man, if the side panel hadn't come flying off the case right as 374 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:21,840 we opened it, I'd be having a really good experience so far. Even this one, 375 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:25,520 the screw is loose. I wonder if this is just a symptom of being shipped multiple 376 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:31,279 times. Once to the reseller and then once to me. Man, what is up with all 377 00:27:28,159 --> 00:27:33,279 these RGB hubs and fan hubs and stuff 378 00:27:31,279 --> 00:27:39,120 these days? Give the people what they want. Yeah, no kidding. Oh, wow. How 379 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,880 that? Ooh, somebody cranked this zip tie 380 00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:44,799 tight and just about ripped this connector off of here, though. Nice 381 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:49,679 standard components across the board, though, including a pretty solid 382 00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:55,760 full-sized ATX motherboard with dual M.2 slots, the expansion of which is easy to 383 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:59,530 get at. Although, oh, that's a whoopsy 384 00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:02,039 by power. Where's my M.2 mounting 385 00:28:02,039 --> 00:28:08,960 hardware? It's not in here. They didn't give me the extra screw and they didn't 386 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:14,559 pre-install it for me. How am I supposed to put an M.2 in there? Tape it down. 387 00:28:11,399 --> 00:28:19,360 No. Three PCI expansion slots, including 388 00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:21,279 one PCIe by4. And is that 32 gigs of 389 00:28:19,360 --> 00:28:24,320 dual channel memory running a little slower than the others, though. That 390 00:28:23,039 --> 00:28:29,919 could hurt them. Although, they'll probably make up some ground with that 391 00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:31,720 14700F CPU. Uh, my GPU is not on the 392 00:28:29,919 --> 00:28:35,080 sheet. It's a 4060. Okay. A lot of that going around 393 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:41,399 this time. Oo, a two TB SSD though. Lots of 394 00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:46,080 storage, twice as much as the competition. Egods, we've deduced 395 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:52,000 something off camera. After double-checking our invoice, it seems we 396 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:55,760 ordered a 4060 Ti and 1 TB of storage, 397 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:57,919 not a 4060 and 2 TB of storage. We 398 00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:01,760 reached out first to Foravor Electronics, our Amazon third party 399 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:06,640 seller, but they never got back to us. So we contacted I by power directly who 400 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:11,840 informed us that for favor is in fact not one of their authorized resellers 401 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:17,120 and they implied that they may have done this on purpose. 402 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:22,480 Scoundrulous. I by power suggested we initiate a return on Amazon but instead 403 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:27,440 we'll simply also be testing this PC in both configurations. 404 00:29:24,799 --> 00:29:30,880 This isn't quite I by power's fault, but I do believe they should have informed 405 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:35,440 Miss Katesson who the authorized resellers were if they were going to 406 00:29:32,799 --> 00:29:39,760 send her to an authorized reseller. Back to the 407 00:29:37,399 --> 00:29:43,600 investigation. Who the hell is High Power? It's apparently 80 plus gold 408 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:47,320 certified and it doesn't immediately feel like garbage, but I don't have a 409 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:53,039 lot of familiarity with this particular brand. Overall, good package. Speaking 410 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:57,919 of packages, how about a system from someone whose logo looks like one? A 411 00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:04,559 two-part file on this one. That's always a good sign. Four business days for 412 00:30:00,919 --> 00:30:06,559 delivery across the board. Good delivery 413 00:30:04,559 --> 00:30:11,840 times this year. So, there's a part shortage, but only for good stuff that 414 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:14,279 people want. For RTX 4060s, you can get as many of them as you need, as fast as 415 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:22,360 you want, cuz Yep. And we got another No, we 416 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:24,640 didn't. Star Forge went radon for their 417 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:30,440 graphics. This could be a different result. Oh, excellent packing materials. 418 00:30:27,919 --> 00:30:36,600 Well, at least the box. Let's see this foam. Oh, excellent packing materials. 419 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:42,799 Double boxed. There's no way there's anything 420 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:45,240 wrong with this thing. I'm calling it. 421 00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:50,480 Oh, look at those accessories, too. They included my stuff. Because 422 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:54,880 that's the thing, anyone who's using custom components is going to get all 423 00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:57,919 these accessories, right? It's just a question of whether they actually 424 00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:03,679 forward it through to you. So, where the heck's my M.2 screw I by power. Sorry, I 425 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:11,880 only want to keep that. You hear the weight of that box? 426 00:31:07,919 --> 00:31:11,880 That's a quality box. 427 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:18,080 Well, decent front IO, single type A, 428 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:22,159 single type-C headphone microphone combo jack. Decent again, 2 and 1/2 gig 429 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:26,159 networking. Do like to see that these days, especially for a system that could 430 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:32,000 be geared towards content creation given their pedigree. Good looking cooling, 431 00:31:28,559 --> 00:31:34,880 dual 120 mm RGB fans here, a single in 432 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:40,080 the back. Quality Fantex case with a tempered glass side panel, tempered 433 00:31:36,799 --> 00:31:41,840 glass front panel. man, especially 434 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:46,000 considering this was one of the more affordable of our systems. If anything, 435 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:50,159 we probably underspent on it and we should have gotten the Horizon 3 Pro. 436 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:53,760 But the only difference is that one has an upgraded GPU. So, we're kind of 437 00:31:52,159 --> 00:32:00,960 thinking we'll look at both configurations when we do our performance testing. We'll just swap the 438 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:03,919 GPU out ourselves for a 7700 XT. Let's 439 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:09,039 go ahead and crack this open. Overall, man, pretty decent looking config. They 440 00:32:06,399 --> 00:32:14,720 didn't cheap out on any of the classic places where you cheap out. 650 W power 441 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:18,880 supply. Expanding foam all over the inside of the system to keep things safe 442 00:32:16,799 --> 00:32:24,440 and it doesn't just immediately fall out so you can tell it's actually supporting 443 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:27,279 anything. Oh yeah, buddy. Oh yeah, 444 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:32,279 buddy. Called it. These guys know how to pack a 445 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:36,080 system. Uh 446 00:32:32,279 --> 00:32:38,000 oh, this one doesn't come out. Oh man, 447 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:44,360 look at the way it's yanking on this cooler, man. Oh, what a nice cooler. 448 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:46,519 Best-in-class cooler for sure. But 449 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:50,640 um Oh boy, I can't remove this without cutting 450 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:54,080 it. Oh yeah, I didn't look at my accessories yet. Whoops. Okay, maybe the 451 00:32:52,399 --> 00:32:59,519 quick start guide tells me to go get a knife and cut this apart. Power cable 452 00:32:56,399 --> 00:33:01,559 and Wi-Fi antenna. But I I hear other 453 00:32:59,519 --> 00:33:07,559 things in here. I hear things. Okay. Extra modular cables for 454 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:09,320 my power supply. 455 00:33:07,559 --> 00:33:15,840 And what? They removed the ILM. That is 456 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:19,519 weird. This is nice though. They pre-installed the M.2 mounting hardware 457 00:33:17,919 --> 00:33:22,880 for me. And over here, they've got what appears to be a courtesy cable because I 458 00:33:21,279 --> 00:33:26,320 don't believe this configuration has a hard drive. And there's definitely a 459 00:33:24,399 --> 00:33:30,840 SATA plugged in there. All right, let's figure out how to get this bloody foam 460 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,840 out. 461 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:37,679 Oh god. Oh wait, no. Maybe it's okay. 462 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:43,200 Okay. Yeah, I think we're good. Pretty darn nice looking build. Oh. Oh. A. 463 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:51,200 You're going to have infinity mirror fans and you're not going to remove the peels for me. Dude, look at all this 464 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:56,080 thermal goop. It's like oozing out from under the 465 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:59,360 Oh, that is something to note is even if you have a one-year warranty with your 466 00:33:57,679 --> 00:34:03,039 system integrator, some of the individual components may have 467 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:08,800 additional warranty coverage. For instance, this Tforce memory from I 468 00:34:06,159 --> 00:34:13,520 believe it's Team Group, right? Yeah. This has like lifetime warranty on it, 469 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:17,119 assuming that it's not an, you know, OEM only special skew for system builders 470 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:21,760 that has less warranty or something like that. Um, and if they're using retail 471 00:34:19,919 --> 00:34:26,320 Intel CPUs, for instance, those have a three-year warranty. So, it's in your 472 00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:30,000 best interest if a system integrator doesn't do anything that would violate 473 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:34,240 those warranty terms. Oh, speaking of the RAM, how much is 474 00:34:31,879 --> 00:34:38,560 there? Dual 8 gigs, but hey, at least it's dual channel. 1 TB of storage this 475 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:43,040 time from Kingston. Nice cable management in the back. Nothing to 476 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:47,919 really stand out as a cut corner in here, as expected. There's my courtesy 477 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:52,960 cable and they included all of the mounting hardware for our case. That is 478 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:54,560 a major major bonus because if I ever 479 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:58,800 want to do any kind of maintenance, boom, I've got everything I need exactly 480 00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:04,079 where I would expect to find it inside my computer. Dude, this is going to be a 481 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:16,200 cont. It's not touching anything right now, but these exposed leads should not 482 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:20,200 be here. if they accidentally contact metal short. Aside from the couple of 483 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,079 weird things, it's looking pretty good for 484 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:29,200 Star Forge. And this looks like a good time 485 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:33,599 to tease the next episode, which is going to be contacting everyone's tech 486 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:37,920 support. What kind of issue should we fabricate this time? What if the GPU 487 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:41,359 doesn't seat properly and it doesn't output anything? What if it doesn't? 488 00:35:39,839 --> 00:35:44,960 Then that's a problem. Then we'll contact tech support. And if you want to 489 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:47,880 see this early, all of our secret shopper is going to be up a few days 490 00:35:46,079 --> 00:35:51,040 early on Floatplane. LMG.gg/flatplane.
