**Unique LED Strip and RGB Options**

Okay, let's take a look at this unique LED strip we have here. We also have RGB down below, but I'm not sure what's going on with that. To be honest, I haven't actually had the login here. Just give me like one second.

(upbeat music)

Viewers at home, for $3,000.

(door opens)

Uh-huh.

You know, for $3,000, you or the audience can't give me (censored) any more money for spending dumb amounts of money on technology. (Austin groans)

It's look... This cost two and a half Mystery Techs. Look, I get it. But he spent $3,000. $3,000. You know what $3,000 can buy you? It can buy you like, how much does this cost? Like $1,500? It's the Max. You can buy two of these phones. You can buy like three of these. This is a 3080. You can get a whole ass camera. And he chose whatever the hell this Etsy PC is.

**Inside the Charmander Etsy PC**

So inside, we have a Ryzen 5, oh it's 3600 non X, okay. Fine. (Ken sighs) We have 16 gigs of RAM, our 5600 XT, which is the eight gig version. What's a very interesting choice, we have not only one Samsung 860, one terabyte EVO. We have, wait. Wait, wait.

It's just a partition. It's just a partition.

So we have our C partition, which is 100 gigs, essentially. Then we have 800 gigs in a storage space but then how do I have 800 gigs in disk two, and 833 gigs of unallocated? (Austin squeals)

Well see, you just gotta drag. What? Okay, no, no. I know how to do this. I don't know why it's set up like this. Traditionally, when you take advantage of RAID, you're essentially taking two drives linking them up together and doubling your speed, right? I mean, that's generally speaking what you use RAID for. The problem here, you can more than double your speed by just purchasing a cheaper M.2 SSD, which just slots in and has no drawbacks and just works. But I'm like 90% sure that one of these drives is like half empty because it wasn't partitioned or formatted correctly. I don't understand what happened. I would just restart.

**Performance Test**

We've taken an in-depth look at our Charmander Etsy PC. We don't need to look at it anymore. Why don't we actually see how it performs? (upbeat music)

It must be nice to spend $3,000 on something and not worry about it. I could have bought so many Pokemon cards. Like so many.

Yeah. Sure.

Yo, this is like VSynced. This looks terrible. You see like the amount of like tearing. I mean, to be fair, I turned off VSync but I guess it didn't listen. Let me see if I can turn off that VSync. Oh, no, I gotta keep playing. All right. Well, it works.

(upbeat music)

This system costs 15 times more than a PS4.

**Fortnite Test**

All right, let's play some Fortnite.

You know what also plays Fortnite great?

What's that? (clatters)

Wow, and I'm the one who disrespects technology. Look at this, 130 FPS. That's beautiful. That's, that, I, okay. Well that was stuttery but it's just like, whoa. Well that's wow. I'm gyrating wildly between 15 and 120 FPS. It's something stalling. Something's stalling in the CPU or the GPU or something, that's massively causing problems.

**Conclusion**

So for this eBay versus Etsy video, there are a few takeaways that I have, none of which are really all that useful. I don't think you should go out and buy PCs on eBay and necessarily flip them unless you are really good at value crunching, not like us at all. And for Etsy, just as I thought, just don't.

If this kind of aesthetic is what you're looking for, there are many artisans on Etsy who will gladly craft you a one of one masterpiece, and I'm sure it'll look great. I am gonna probably not do that anymore though. I'm gonna stick with building them myself. I think that seems like the natural point here or buying them on Walmart. That actually kind of worked for us. Slightly. Just very slightly.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- Welcome to the eBay versusEtsy Gaming PC challenge.If that sounds like a wayto burn a lot of money really quickly,then you would be correct.There's a lot of peopleselling Fortnite PC's.$580 for a Ryzen 5 Game PC.440 bucks for a Quad CoreAMD System, 16 gigs of RAM,two terabyte hard drive.Vega three.Oh, oh.Yeah, that's an Athlon 200GE.Holy (oof), that's terrible.So when it comes to the eBay PC,our goal is to purchase the systemand then upgrade itand flip it to see ifwe can make a profit.On the Etsy side of things,well, we're gonna start by seeingjust exactly how creativethe computer will be.ViprTech Gaming PC Computer,with an Intel i5-650, a first gen i5.This is a processor that came out in 2010.A Budget Dell Game PC, an i5,and a GT 1030/710.This isn't crazy.Um.It's not great though.It's not great.Coming back around to eBay.Well, yeah, so this is $300.What's inside?Second gen i5, hard driveand a 1050.- Second gen i5?- Yeah.AMD FX 6100?Wait, hold on, hold on.FX 6100,but has an SSDand an R9 280.Oh, this is old,but this actually could work.He's already got the RGB fans.That one's probably thebest one I've found yet.Ooh, $2,000 for the Mint Michele ECO,the Mint Gaming PC.Wait a minute, wait a minute.Wait a minute.There's no graphics card.They charge you $2,000for a Ryzen 5 with integrated graphics.Oh my God.I think Etsy is just a placefor people who don't knowwhat they're talking aboutto buy gaming PCs.I think that's what we found out here.A Ryzen 3and a 2060 for $1,500.Oh my God, that hurts.Wait, here, hang on.Here's 180 bucks.So it's a DELL with a GT 630,but wait, that actually may work.This looks like, hang on let me see.Okay, mouse, keyboard.If it's actually the system,I actually could use it, potentiallycause I have an actualfull-size graphics card120 gig SSD plus one terabyte hard driveand Windows 10.I think this is my move.Now with my eBay PC locked down,it's time to see what Etsy has to offer.Okay, here we go.(claps)That is what I expectout of an Etsy gaming PC.That's stickers.I like the--- RyzenShyne.(Ken laughs)- Wait, do they give you a TV?- Yes.- This comes with a TV?- Budget 4K system, comes with TV.- Ohh, Jesus.4K with a Ryzen 3 3200G,that's such a bad idea.- But it comes with a TV.- It comes with a Westinghouse 4K HDR TV.And a Corsair gaming keyboardand mouse.This is everything we need.- Look, if mom wasjust shopping on Etsyand she saw thisand son wanted a PC,pretty sure she would eye this one.- I think we got to buy this thing.Before we continue withthe gaming PC build,this video is sponsoredby the Oculus Quest 2.I know we've already donean entire video on this,and I truly do believeit is the best VR headsetyou can buy right now.However they now have aton of other accessories,which make it even better.Starting with the Quest 2charging dock by Anker.This is coolbecause not only does it allow youto wirelessly charge yourQuest 2 just by dropping it in,but importantly, it alsocharges your controllers.This is really rad,because it allows you to,with this little cover,not only wirelessly chargeusing these custom AA batteries,but also it magnetically attaches.Very, very cool.I put it in backwards.Very cool.(laughs)There's also the Oculus 2 fit pack.You can easily swap out the foam insert,which is importantbecause VR is all about being comfortablewhen you're playing long term.So for me, I found that the wide oneactually fits my face bestbut Ken's rocking the narrow one, right?- Yeah.- Now on top of that,if you want to use theQuest 2 with a gaming PC,you're absolutely going towant to pick up the Link Cable.What makes Oculus Link great,is that while of course youcan use the headset untethered,once you connect it to your gaming PC,it opens up an entire world ofnew possibilities for games.And the Oculus Link Cablespecifically is five meters longand high qualitywhich means you're notlosing any bandwidth.On top of that,I also have the Logitech G Pro headset.Not only does it give yousome great audio qualitybut on top of that, it is super helpfulbecause you don't havea ton of extra cablesand whatnot all in your way.Now this, just a little bit of a lookat what the Oculus Quest2 has got going on.So feel free to check it out the linkin the descriptionand thank you very much to Oculusfor sponsoring this portion of the video.Now, if you excuse me,I'm gonna finish building a PCand beating this level, finally.It's hard to know exactlywhat we're going to get.I think I have an ideaand that idea is not exactly promisingbut the good thing is the eBay PCshould actually be herein just a couple of days.For the Etsy computer,well, we're looking atat least a few weeksbefore it's actually been expertly craftedand delivered to our doorstep.I hope that sentence is correct.I hope that that's what happens.And so we have our eBaygaming PC build ready to go.So we ended up actually saving $40because it turns out this wasactually available locally.So we had them knock that offand we just picked it up.So with $180 out of our walletslet's see what we actually bought.Oh, okay.- Tool-less.- That's impressive.Wow.(laughs)GamingPC,RGB.What's up?So we have what is an awfullooking graphics card.It's so tiny.What is this?So we've got two DisplayPortand a DVI.We do have a WiFi cardwhich looks like that wasactually installed after the fact.So that's nice.Wait, hold on, hold on.So we have a optical drive.We also have a SATA, like an SSD here.(screw whirs)Oh, look at that.Oh boy, that's not a, okay.That does not look like aparticularly high end SSD.- But it's still an SSD.- It's an SSD, a SATA 3, 120 gig.Okay.What is this memory?This is four gigs RAM?Wait, hold on.How much RAM is this?Does this actually have 16 gigs of RAM?I thought it had eight.Yeah, look at that.They've actually upgraded the RAM as well.So really what I'm looking at hereis we just need a better graphics cardcause this is clearly not going to cut it.I mean, it's fine if youwant to, you know, run Wordbut I mean, for actual gamingthat's not gonna be worth anything beyondlike the most basic of basic low settings.Let's actually fire this thing upand see what we're working with.All right.Here comes the real test,did we buy a piece of(censored)or did we get something cool?We have a i5-3470.So that is Ivy Bridge third generation.That's actually not bad.I think we can absolutely playsome pretty decent games on that.And then we have two 500 gig hard drives.So that's what we have down here.I guess that makes sense.I bet the people who sold us thisessentially got like ahundred of these things,they were all being recycled,and Frankensteined it together.What else do we have here?So we have a GT 630.Yeah, that's coming out.That's definitely coming out.A GT 630 with two gigs of GPU memory.Mm.Not good.What can we get a 1050 Ti for?Woo, that's expensive.- Oh, no, no, no, below profile,oh well that's--- Ohh.- No, keep going, these are new,these are all new.- Oh yeah, I can get 1030for like 45, 50 bucks.Yeah, 50 bucks, buy it now.I know I have a 1030 across the hall.That will put this thing at 220?230, 230?Okay.I'll be right back.I'm go exploring.So, I've spent the lastfew hours rebuildingour eBay gaming PC.So I had to make somecreative modifications.While I was able to transplantour Dell motherboardinto our donor Cooler Master case,there were some casualties along the way.First of all, was actuallyone that I wasn't expecting,which is the power supply.So if you look overat the original Dellchassis that we're using,this, even though it's onlylike about a 300 Watt 80 Plus Gold,the problem is, this isour CPU power connector.You can see this, if Iactually grab the lightyou'll be able to see a lot better.It is incredibly short, likeliterally a few inches long.And because this has thepower supply on the topand this one has it on the bottom,I, five seconds into the build,realized I would needanother power supply.My front panels are alsocompletely proprietaryas is my power button.So I haven't figured outhow to get that to work yet.But everything else has fitin pretty much just fine.We have our Core i5, our 16 gigs of RAM.I was able to put one ofour 500 gig hard drives in.So unfortunately this casejust simply doesn't haveroom for the second one,but we have another 500 gigs,as well as a very questionablymounted SSD there.One of the things I did opt to go for,is to go, instead of our 1030,which would have been fine,but a little bit weak.Instead I did go opt for the 1650.So now with our new powersupply, new graphics cardand new case all installedaround our somewhat questionablyoverpriced Dell motherboardand what not,why don't we see if we canactually get this to turn on?I'm gonna start trying to jump it.- We can figure out whichcable the power button is.Wait, or you want to just--- Or you can just flip the power switch onand it works.- Yeah- Oh okay, yeah.That's okay.- It's a feature, not a bug.- So everythingelse is showing up here.Surprise, surprise.So I just need to download some driversand I think I'll be fine.- I still think youshould try to jump the board.If this thing shuts down,then you're gonna turnthe power supply off,and on again.- Flip it offand flip it on.Oh, oh.- Well, there you go.Power button.Try to jump it.- No, I'm not gonna jump it.I have a better idea.- We know, what good does that do?Taking the power button from the old PC?- Yeah.- No, no, no.There's an easier way.There's an easier way.- Nope, this is the better way.- No, no, no.Here, here.- I have found the way.- I'll find it.I will find it for you.- This is the way, Ken,this is the way.- It's up here.It's literally right here.- Yeah, how many--- There.I can literally almost turn it on.Look, Austin's out heretrying to pass off hispower switch solutionas the way to get this PC to power on.But if we're gonna sell this on eBaywe need to make it a quality product.And that includes actuallymaking the power button to work.So in order to do that,while I might not actuallyknow what these pin outs are,might as well just try.The worst case, it doesn't work.What's the, what's the Yoda saying?- Try, or do not try, wait no.- Try, try.- Try, wait, no.- Try.- No.- There is no.There is no try, only do.- Do, or do not do.- Whatever it is.Josh will just put it down here.Force, jam this in.- It works!Ken Bolido, you're a genius.- I just made you an extra 50 bucks.- Okay.- See look, look,a quick fix.I mean it's not reallythe nicest looking thing.- No, that's okay.It's okay.- It's fine.It works now.- So one small update,apparently Fortnite isnow over 90 gigabytes,so it didn't fit on our SSD.So as the hype train comes by,we had to install it on our hard drive,which thankfully is thereand it works.However, um a little bit slowas you can see by the100% disc utilizationfor the last 30 minutes to install it.However, regardless nowthat we have Fortnite,but we have what all the coolkids are playing these days.Fall Guys.Let's see how our eBayPC actually performs.First of all, let's turnup our graphics settings.Obviously.- I mean, this thingliterally runs on Unity.So I hope to God, your PC's fine.There it is.- There we go.- Oh, that looks totally fine.Wow.- Got 68 FPS.No 60 FPS flat.- Go, go, go, go, go.Yep, yep, there you go.- Wait.- Oh, oh!- Oh, no!I was that close!I was that close?- Yeah.- Oh, I'll go play Fortnite now.So running it, epic settings,we're getting 50 FPS immediately.So that's not so bad.Is this really epic?Why does everything look so bloggy?- This draw distancesor not?- Yeah, look at that.That's drawing in a really weirdly.Oh, you know what it is, dude?It's the hard drive,cause I installed on ahard drive, not the SSD.That's why it's running slow right now.Cause my FPS is fine.- Question is, do youthink it's sellable still?- I actually think we cansell this PC as is, yeah,because right now, Fortnite is working.It's a little bit slow on the hard drive,but it's not really a performance issue.It's just a matter of likeit can't load all the assets,but once you start walkingaround, it's not so bad.So let's put this thing on eBayand see if we can actually turn a profitor if I've wasted not only timebut also money.Odds are,probably.Just had to take a guess.Welcome back.So we have now successfullylisted our gaming PC on eBay.With just a few minutes left,let's see exactly how close we areto making our money back.So first of all, we havethe gaming PC itself,which we spent a grand total of $198 for.We also have,well, some other components that we mayor may not have borrowed from the office.So the graphics card we'regonna put it in about $140for 1650.Also gonna put $40 for our power supply,our 500 Watt EVGA.The case was about $45.And our RGB strips were about 15,giving us a grand total of.- $434- $434.So if this system is able to sellfor a dollar more than that,actually needs to be a lot more than thatbecause we have shippingand eBay fees.Hopefully it sells for a lot more.So if the eBay fee is 10%,we are not gonna makeour money back on this.We're gonna be close.Oh 453.That was all.So no one tried to snipe it at the end.Damn.The grand total is, after eBay feesand all the stuff,we were negative, $30?- $30.30.- You know, all being saidand done, I actually feel pretty goodabout the eBay gaming PC that we've built.Obviously we started out withsome pretty budget componentsbut stuff that might be older,that's still good, right?Now, my real fear hereis not so much how we'regonna do with the eBay PC,but what exactly we're gonna be receivingfrom our friends over at Etsy.So this point, I've seen photosof what the Etsy gamingPC should look like,but this, this is the real thing.(laughs)Oh, oh wow.Oh, that, that.Okay, so.Story time, my friends.So we are shooting this about a monthand a half after I first placedthe order for this system.So the guy on Etsy was very nice.I've been messaging himalmost every day since then,as we were picking out the parts,as he was going throughand sort of configuring the entire systemand this,this is an Etsy gaming PC, all right.So, okay.Where do we begin?So, this is a fireball, I believe.We have a lot of orange on the inside.Little Charmander here.I'm not sure what this is.Volcano or something?Okay.This is a system thattook a lot of hard workthat clearly was a labor of loveand that I have purchased,and now own.I don't know what more Icould say about a computerto more eloquentlyshare my thoughts on it,than, I mean, just look at it.It tells you all you need to know.All right.So for this system,it came out to be slightly more expensivethan initially anticipated.We ended up waiting until after Christmasafter the holidays,for parts to get alittle bit more in stock.And the grand total for thesystem before tax was $3,000,like 3,022 bucksor something.- What?- Yeah, it was, okay.So there were Etsy fees.- Is it the same stuffthat we saw in the listing?- No, so in the listing hegave some examples, right?So remember when he wastalking about like the TV,we would have to pay extra for the TV.It did actually comewith some accessories,do you have, is there a boxof accessories somewhere?So we have a Orzly keyboard.We have a headset, which seems fine.We've got our mouse padand we have our mouse.So a few accessories.Let's open it up.(laughs)We take our glass side panel off.Okay, well the look of that's not crazy.The sleeves could--- Use a little better finishing.- Would agree.- This is, this,it's just coming off.That's just gone.- Oh that's not that bad.It's fine.So we have a fancontroller, Cooler Master.It is a Corsair R,oh it's an RM 750.Oh, that's actually apretty good power supply.- Oh, okay.Well that's way better than I thought.- Yeah, yeah, that's actually pretty good.Plug this in here real quick.Are we ready to see the Charmander speciallight up for the first?- Yeah, go.- Okay.All right.Look, we got some, that'sa unique looking LED strip.We also have RGB down here.I'm not sure what that'sgoing on with that.I've don't actually had the login here.Just give me like one second.(upbeat music)(door opens)- Viewers at home, for $3,000.(door closes)I was telling the audience how for $3,000.- Uh-huh.- Youor the audience, can't giveme (censored) any morefor spending dumb
