1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,839
sites like Craigslist and Facebook are full of people who offer custom PC

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:12,080
Building Services but should you trust them with your gaming budget I'm going

3
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:15,679
to contact completely random people on Facebook

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:21,080
Marketplace give them my money and then just pray I don't get scammed the rules

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:25,480
are simple each Builder gets a budget of 1,250 Canadian rubles and then a

6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:31,000
different member of our team is going to go undercover meet these guys in person

7
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,800
and bring back something I hope

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,520
then I will judge the quality of their craftsmanship drag race the PCS and at

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:44,800
the end maybe even meet our builders in person talk to them that is unless they

10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:48,000
scam me oh hey that's one of them now uh

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:50,160
yeah yeah radon 7600 that sounds good uh

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:56,440
but do you also have segue to our sponsor MSI their Meg Pano m100r pz case

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:02,960
has a cool 270° glass view it fits a 360 m AO

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:08,360
cooler and it comes with awesome argb lighting for an epic look check it out

15
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,360
at the link in the video

16
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:22,920
description our opening line was the same for every Builder here's my budget

17
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:28,159
I need a gaming PC there were other requirements that we kind of had in mind

18
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:32,399
but there's a catch if they wanted that information they had to specific Al ask

19
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:36,759
us for it that's going to affect their communication score then we're going to

20
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:41,759
rate each system for Quality performance value and Beauty at the end Whoever has

21
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:47,200
the highest rank will get the PC returned to them for free so they can

22
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:50,040
resell it as for who comes last they go

23
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:54,360
on the Wall of Shame let's start with Jason's system we decided to purchase

24
00:01:52,399 --> 00:01:58,240
from him because he seemed experienced with an Instagram and website

25
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:02,840
specifically for showing off PC builds and look at this he even gave us an

26
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:09,440
invoice unfortunately what he also gave us is one of the weirdest systems that I

27
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:12,800
think I've seen in a very long time I've

28
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,400
never even heard of manmo brand game Max

29
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:19,239
only showed up on my radar when one of their power supplies blew up during Labs

30
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:25,400
testing recently and he's using a mobile engineering sample CPU also soyo

31
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:30,040
motherboard I've never even heard of this brand oh I have but not since the

32
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,440
early 2000s I mean I guess they have a stored

33
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:37,640
history since 1985 yeah it's not the kind of story

34
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,640
that I would tell my kids at bedtime might keep them up late if you know what

35
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:45,920
I mean why did we end up with two power

36
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,959
supply boxes um I don't know the he gave

37
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:53,239
us two power supply boxes like was there something in it no he also gave us a

38
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:56,400
different CPU Cooler box oh than the one that he yeah this is a completely

39
00:02:54,599 --> 00:03:00,440
different cooler yeah and also there's nothing in any of these boxes I'm very

40
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:04,720
interested to see how this per forms especially with that slow memory but I

41
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:09,239
can't wait do you leave the plastic peel on that

42
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:13,040
fan I was going to go easy on him for build

43
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:17,760
quality but I'm sorry this is a this is a three out of 10 oh it gets so much

44
00:03:15,239 --> 00:03:21,280
worse you don't even know we'll get to that later how is this communication

45
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:24,760
though we got this nice invoice total made differ by plus or minus 1 cent due

46
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,280
to rounding error yeah I mean the invoice shows he was professional he

47
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:32,000
answered our messages quickly he offered things like do we want used parts or new

48
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:35,120
parts so to save a couple of bucks that's good to know he was upfront about

49
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,599
some of the weirdness like getting the engineering sample though maybe not as

50
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:43,840
upfront as he should have been he kind of just said that hey it's going to be an engineering sample and it won't show

51
00:03:41,959 --> 00:03:47,640
up in Windows right but that doesn't address the complete lack of warranty

52
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,879
the potential reliability issues and potential performance issues yeah he

53
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:56,360
also said that it would perform the same as a 12900 K uh no and when we went to

54
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:59,799
go pick it up well uh reys what did you say he was professional it looks like he

55
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,879
had done this before you know he he's obviously a Salesman kind of good at

56
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:08,239
selling the product that he's selling right but you already bought it but I already bought it so I don't know he was

57
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:11,640
a nice guy he was a very nice guy why did we end up with random boxes Reese he

58
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:14,959
like had the computer set up and I went up and tried it everything worked fine

59
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:18,519
and he just like oh grab the boxes like okay and I just grabbed what was there

60
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:21,120
so he didn't tell me yes or no he just I just grabbed all the boxes that were

61
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,639
available did he have like other systems being built or at the same time or uh I

62
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:28,560
think he I think he said he had other ones on the go for communication what

63
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:33,000
would you rank him I'll say eight I'll say online Maybe maybe a a six cuz he

64
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:38,400
wasn't super forthright let's call it a seven sure but the next guy ree said was

65
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:42,360
the nicest person he'd ever met really I don't know if I said that but he is very

66
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:47,840
nice for one thing he didn't charge us a building fee every dollar is accounted

67
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:55,000
for here 6 core ryzen 5000 processor ASRock motherboard Kingston NVMe SSD and

68
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:58,000
an RX 7700x tgpu oh look at that a brand

69
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,840
named power supply in terms of quality

70
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,240
is this three times the quality of the we just looked at I think so yeah but

71
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:08,000
how is his communication he was great he was understanding when we had to

72
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:13,160
reschedule he was very prompt and clear he even offered us multiple ways to pay

73
00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:17,960
him he could do a 50% deposit and he would order all the parts himself that's

74
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,479
a little risky yeah uh or we could just

75
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:25,440
bring the parts to him and he would build it for us wait for free yeah what

76
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:31,120
is he even what's his business model uh he says he just has free time and he

77
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:33,400
likes building computers so 10 for

78
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:36,639
communication yeah absolutely we're going to need another field for business

79
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,280
savvy cuz Katon is setting very unrealistic expectations I mean was the

80
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,120
pickup perfect too BR he's doing it for the Love of the Game I love the guy I

81
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:47,120
think he's I think he's perfect I I'm going to give tens across the board just

82
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:52,000
heads up reach out we want to be friends with you we want to be friends with you

83
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:56,120
all right how about mirus you nicknamed this one teenage engineering but I

84
00:05:54,080 --> 00:06:00,360
couldn't help noticing that's an NZXT case yeah well mirla is like 17 years

85
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:05,240
old and the reason he's selling computers is because he's trying to save

86
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:08,560
up for college wow okay yeah so he's

87
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:11,400
certainly more profit motivated than

88
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:15,199
Katon though I got to give him credit this is a pretty nice build yeah there's

89
00:06:13,479 --> 00:06:20,360
a couple of tweaks that I think I would make like he got a SATA SSD instead of

90
00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:26,479
an nbme SSD oh you're not even really saving money on that yeah but you know

91
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:30,479
still meets our criteria of a 1 tby SSD yeah and his build fee $ 100 Canadian

92
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:34,479
dollar that's pretty reasonable that's only about 70 us he was also happy to

93
00:06:32,919 --> 00:06:38,080
throw in extra fans at a discount oh that's nice of him yeah did we ask if he

94
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:43,039
was willing to throw in extra cable management and extra peeling the plastic

95
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:47,720
off of our motherboard heat sink nope it's got the world's most

96
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,960
overcompensate Wi-Fi antennas though so that's good I'm going to have to dock a

97
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:55,080
couple build quality points for sloppiness but I'm going to give one of

98
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:59,120
them back for going with quality Cooling and a quality power supply those are the

99
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:02,639
kinds of things that are very easy for people to cheap out on and take

100
00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:08,199
advantage of a not very knowledgeable customer and Mira chose not to do that

101
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,520
he was really helpful in other ways like instead of just looking at prices on PC

102
00:07:10,039 --> 00:07:16,240
part picker he actually went and found like bundles on like Canada Computers

103
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:20,199
however the bundle we ended up getting basically was the literal price of

104
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:25,639
buying each of the individual components alone so neither here nor there all

105
00:07:24,039 --> 00:07:29,280
right I mean they're good parts yeah it was an a for affort I probably would

106
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:33,520
have done what Katon did and spent a little more on GPU and a little less on

107
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:37,080
CPU but depending on what we were trying to accomplish this is a perfectly

108
00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:41,720
reasonable parts list as well how was the pickup good a little bit awkward

109
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,680
he's he's a young guy um I think I was pretty awkward at that age as well you

110
00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:50,720
know what I mean yeah just at that age just yeah thank you his communication over Facebook was actually really good

111
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:52,800
he sent some photos of the case I got

112
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:57,360
got got slightly damaged in transit I can't see it from here um yeah very

113
00:07:55,879 --> 00:08:00,440
slight damages but he was very up front with that which was nice that's great um

114
00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:05,639
n eight seven I think I I think seven

115
00:08:03,479 --> 00:08:09,759
eight eight so far the professional is not looking so

116
00:08:07,039 --> 00:08:12,680
hot but the professional might have the performance where it

117
00:08:12,919 --> 00:08:20,720
counts let's pretend we don't know that okay this is

118
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:23,120
true maybe leave them some suspense for

119
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:28,000
crying out loud now to begin the Drag Race 3 2

120
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:34,839
1 and I can already tell that it's not going to be close Adam we are dipping

121
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:36,880
down to 5050 55 FPS on both the

122
00:08:34,839 --> 00:08:41,399
professional and teenage engineering did I see that go over a 100

123
00:08:39,479 --> 00:08:44,839
teenage engineering is screaming right now it's loud yeah what is up with that

124
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:49,640
I think it's because of the GPU it has a predator by Frost which is like a half

125
00:08:46,959 --> 00:08:54,200
blower style card I think he just didn't really tune the fan curves interesting

126
00:08:52,320 --> 00:09:00,399
he actually did install fan control on this for us and he put a nice big CPU

127
00:08:57,279 --> 00:09:02,200
heat sink in here so maybe he just

128
00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:05,680
doesn't get bothered by noise and he thought well let's get everything to run

129
00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:09,440
as cool as possible his temp should be really good we have Ray tracing off

130
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:15,399
right now but it is crazy how neck and neck the 4060 and the 7600 are they're

131
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:19,399
basically the exact same though if we turned R tracing on this would easily

132
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:23,760
take the lead yeah are you turning ra tracing on on a mid- tier card though I

133
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:28,640
mean I guess you can you can you got dlss and stuff but we're getting 60 FPS

134
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:33,360
now yeah I know and it looks pretty good mind you we are running at 1440p and the

135
00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:37,680
vast majority of people are still gaming at 1080p so you could probably run at

136
00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:41,440
1080 with r tracing and get similar performance where did we land in terms

137
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:48,360
of thermals though the hobbyist was sitting at a peak of about 70° on the

138
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:50,480
CPU and 55 on the GPU meanwhile as

139
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:57,079
expected teenage engineering didn't manage to get above 54 on the CPU and

140
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,880
was at about 58 on the GPU so clearly

141
00:09:57,079 --> 00:10:03,800
there's some Headroom for us to turn those hands down if we really wanted to

142
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:08,600
as for that mobile CPU

143
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:13,120
58° Max and on our GPU we ended up

144
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:15,839
hitting about 70 the professional is uh

145
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:19,640
not the best system so far no but that could change in cine bench let's see if

146
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:26,640
all those extra cores are going to help out that what is it 12900 hkx HX all

147
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:30,880
right ready W brother

148
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:37,839
it may be an engineering sample but it's uh professional engineering apparently

149
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:44,120
it does have just core numbers on its side right that's 24 threads versus a 12

150
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:48,920
thread and a 16 thread this is as not close as that last one was in favor of

151
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:53,920
the hobbyist if you are doing something that benefits from multi-threading like

152
00:10:51,360 --> 00:11:00,000
say you do a lot of video encoding on CPU the professional looking pretty good

153
00:10:56,839 --> 00:11:04,440
for the money wow that's a laptop chip I

154
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:06,680
know right and the 5600 is a well it's a

155
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:11,000
great choice for gaming yeah cheapest CPU of the lot and that is what we asked

156
00:11:08,519 --> 00:11:16,079
for we asked for 1440p gaming and the hobbyist gave us a better GPU and a

157
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:23,600
lower tier CPU and you can really see that in the results here just 11,000

158
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:25,839
points compared to 14,000 and

159
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:30,760
19,500 but the professional promised that that had the same performance as a

160
00:11:27,399 --> 00:11:32,720
12900 K what what's the score of a 12900

161
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:38,760
K 25,000 27,000 so it's not as good not even

162
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:43,680
close this is pretty typical for engineering sample chips you see because

163
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:47,360
they're often not finished and that even ignores that this poor motherboard is

164
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:53,360
going to have no idea what to do with this thing in terms of power limits we

165
00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:57,240
maxed out at 125 watts which is kind of

166
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:59,480
within spec but it clearly never

167
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:03,360
stretched beyond that oh boy I can already tell in the menu again that

168
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:07,959
teenage engineering is not going to be able to keep up with the hobbyist it's

169
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:14,079
so loud now we're looking at balers Gate 3 at 1440p Ultra details with no

170
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:21,959
resolution scaling and once again the competition is and not close the 1% lows

171
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:25,920
on the hobbyist thanks to that 7700 XT

172
00:12:21,959 --> 00:12:28,440
GPU are higher than the average frame

173
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:32,800
rates on both of our other systems to be clear either of these is going to

174
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:37,720
deliver a really smooth gaming experience in balers Gate 3 it just

175
00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:42,360
won't be nearly as smooth as the hobbyist between the other two though

176
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:47,760
the GeForce 4060 manages to outclass the Radeon 7600 showing you guys that as bad

177
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:53,240
as NVIDIA's current generation is their competition manages to make them look

178
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:57,839
okay and that engineering sample CPU doesn't seem to be holding it back here

179
00:12:55,279 --> 00:13:02,199
in spite of it not being the same as a 12900 k should we give them a score or

180
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:07,639
should we just like rank them first to third either way is going to be complicated because depending on the

181
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:13,240
application they're going to vary a little bit Yeah the hobbyist ran away

182
00:13:10,959 --> 00:13:17,040
with it in gaming performance but it even if your focus is gaming it's never

183
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:20,959
a bad idea to have a well-rounded system and you've got to give the professional

184
00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:27,360
and teenage engineering some credit here so I'm going to say maybe you know eight

185
00:13:25,399 --> 00:13:31,680
for the hobbyist because we did give up a lot in terms of multi-threaded

186
00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:37,639
performance but given how much the other ones gave up everywhere else I'd say at

187
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:41,560
best they can have a five five is perfectly adequate it really middle it's

188
00:13:39,959 --> 00:13:46,079
a pass yeah now we turn to value and you might

189
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:51,800
think oh well line is that simple it's just performance versus how much you

190
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:54,839
paid but I see a value in for example

191
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:57,000
having a warranty on my CPU that's where

192
00:13:54,839 --> 00:14:01,839
the professional system falls apart I see a value in having a power supply

193
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:07,199
that's known more for powering computers than for powerful failures like we've

194
00:14:04,519 --> 00:14:10,519
seen from this brand in our Labs testing so for me the

195
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:17,880
professional I don't know three two what

196
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:26,120
is this generic RAM the generic RAM is 32 GB of Samsung ddr4 running at 2666

197
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:28,720
MHz cl19 that's twice as much RAM as the

198
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:34,360
other systems yeah it's at half the speed it's slow as heck Four In fairness

199
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:38,920
to the pro those cut Corners did allow him to undercut everyone else on pricing

200
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:44,040
but for me peace of mind is a big part of value and I feel that both the

201
00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:48,160
hobbyist and teenage engineering blew him away there for beauty I think

202
00:14:46,079 --> 00:14:54,360
everyone captured the gamer aesthetic pretty well definite points for the

203
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:57,440
hobbyist's use of RGB everywhere but

204
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,079
personally I like to see a big heat sink

205
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:04,440
more than I like to see flashy light right so I think I'm going to give both

206
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:06,160
of these a nine or at least I would if I

207
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:12,079
didn't look at the cable management at the back maybe it's not worth a $100 to

208
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:17,240
me but ironically the one with the worst cable management at the front has far

209
00:15:14,839 --> 00:15:21,839
better cable management at the back than our hobbyist it's more of a party in the

210
00:15:19,639 --> 00:15:25,680
back yeah but that's why it's behind closed doors right sorry Katon I think

211
00:15:24,199 --> 00:15:30,800
I'm going to have to dock you a point here as for the pro Jason selected such

212
00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:35,120
a Bare Bones case that I think the best I could give it is probably an eight and

213
00:15:33,319 --> 00:15:40,199
Adam promised that I would find some interesting surprises once I turned it

214
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:45,160
around to the back this back plate is bowed out that's not a good thing I

215
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:50,000
don't know if that's to spec or not nope it's not you know what it is this is a

216
00:15:47,759 --> 00:15:54,360
mobile chip it doesn't have an IHS so it has to go down

217
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:59,040
tighter in order to make contact it is making contact The Thermals were fine

218
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:02,360
but that's why it's deeper than it would otherwise be now I'm really curious cuz

219
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:06,959
I saw listings for this online and they showed an image with an IHS oh no no

220
00:16:04,839 --> 00:16:11,000
you're right there is an IHS on it okay I have no idea then I guess he just

221
00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:14,000
really gave her with the screws you think he gave her with those screws just

222
00:16:12,279 --> 00:16:17,279
wait till you see the m.2 screw while I was trying to figure out what kind of

223
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:21,319
components were in the system so I could try and figure out a relative price to

224
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:25,519
see if he ripped us off with this 1150 thing look at the screw for the SSD he

225
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:32,079
just chucked a random screw in here there's no standoff yeah um and not just

226
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:35,720
any any random screw a wood

227
00:16:32,079 --> 00:16:38,519
screw oh so it is can you retroactively

228
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:42,079
cut six when you find stuff like this it really makes you question everything

229
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:46,880
else about the system with the scores tallied up surprisingly everybody gets a

230
00:16:44,319 --> 00:16:51,279
pass yeah the professional was just barely but to his credit it is a

231
00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:56,560
functioning system and he didn't ghost us or scam us outright but it's clear

232
00:16:54,440 --> 00:17:00,560
that to actually win the challenge we're only really looking at teenage

233
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:04,039
engineering and the hobbyist and at the end of the day with the points we had to

234
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:09,760
dock from teenage engineering for choosing a SATA SSD and going with a

235
00:17:06,439 --> 00:17:13,439
more powerful CPU for a 1440p gaming

236
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:16,039
system even ignoring the $100 build cost

237
00:17:13,439 --> 00:17:20,360
which by the way is perfectly reasonable we've got to give it to the hobbyist who

238
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:25,400
we're about to meet hey how's it going hey Ken how's it going it is Katon

239
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:29,559
right dang I forgot to get the screen

240
00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:34,799
recording started oh my God hey hey sorry technical diffic um okay

241
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:37,200
thanks for taking my call um just to be up front with you uh there's nothing

242
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:41,799
wrong with computer if you ever heard of lonus tech tips yes okay well um he'd

243
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:49,440
like to say something to you he's got some good news for you hey Ken nice system oh hey how you doing thank you oh

244
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:53,480
my God this is ridiculous hey I just wanted to say you built a heck of a

245
00:17:51,679 --> 00:17:57,760
system for the money but I got a question what's going on here you didn't

246
00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:01,080
even charge us a build fee or anything like that do you really just do this for

247
00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:04,400
the fun of it I've been building computers since I was like 10 with my

248
00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:07,640
dad uh like I work from home as a project manager so I I have a lot of

249
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,880
free time I want to Tinker with computers more often but I don't want to

250
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:16,720
go and buy used parts and get people good deals things I don't have that that much time but I figured I'd like just do

251
00:18:14,559 --> 00:18:19,880
free builds and make sure like you know the tweaking is done right I don't know

252
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:24,280
I just like I like helping people a lot and I feel like computer stores are kind

253
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:28,200
of like not where they used to be and they're not really offering that kind of

254
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:33,000
like premium service anymore so yeah the challenge was that we actually gave the

255
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:39,039
same budget to three different people on Facebook Marketplace chosen randomly and

256
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:43,640
whoever won whoever gave us the best value system for our dollars gets the

257
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:49,520
system back so they can resell it to someone else so it's not that I don't

258
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:52,480
love it you did a great job but you won

259
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:56,679
man so this is yours it's free real estate oh wow dude that's crazy that's

260
00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:02,039
awesome thank you so much I really appreciate that so about how many of these systems do you do on a monthly

261
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:06,400
basis how many people reach out to you us probably

262
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:08,480
do one to two a month it's not like

263
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:11,440
something that's super common I guess people like partly thing is a a trust

264
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:15,520
bar it's like you don't want to leave Parts with someone who you don't know

265
00:19:13,679 --> 00:19:20,840
who does this for fun abolutely what a weird thing to tell people you know I

266
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:24,840
get how it sounds um but honestly I just I like building computers I like playing

267
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:28,799
with computers yeah I just it's a passion of mine and I enjoy it and I can

268
00:19:27,159 --> 00:19:32,480
do this and help people out the same same time I think it's a really awesome

269
00:19:30,159 --> 00:19:36,039
thing to do cool all right see you later man yeah awesome thanks so much we

270
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:40,520
weren't able to get teenage engineering on a video call but we reached out

271
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:43,880
asking hey is this a viable side hustle like about how many systems you do and

272
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:48,480
he said he's got about four of them on the go right now so while it is

273
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:53,280
difficult to break into it looks like some people are making a go of it so in

274
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:57,520
conclusion your mileage is absolutely going to vary and being a Savvy Shopper

275
00:19:55,480 --> 00:20:01,080
as always is going to go a long way towards making sure that getting the

276
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:06,760
most for your money but it's clear that there's a alive and well or maybe even

277
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:11,559
vibrant ecosystem of buyers and sellers on these marketplaces so uh if you want

278
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:15,640
to try your luck hey it might not be the stupidest thing in the world and you

279
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:20,240
might get Super Lucky and find someone like Katon who just loves helping people

294
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:17,480
Facebook Marketplace honestly this seemed like kind of a better value

295
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:20,760
overall but uh hey I'll let you guys be the judge see you later
