I purchased this broken gaming PC sight unseen and I'm curious if I can fix it up and have it running again! The description of the rig on eBay was very vague, so I'm not entirely sure what I'm getting myself into! This should be a fun one, regardless! Come along for the ride!

I see we are back to Masochism for our entertainment.
-
Looks like some scumbag put old and broken parts together to scam someone.
-
Man as soon as you bought it that guy yanked the posting down. He probably screamed “omg someone bought it”
-
$250 for this hurts me in the wallet just watching the video lol
-
That person assembled all the broken components that he found in his junk yard and sold it for 250$.
-
looks like they threw old non working parts together to get some quick cash
-
That is, by far, the most cursed PC I have seen. Wash it with Holy Water and then purge it with fire!
-
That's a big scam. That thing isn't even worth 30 bucks when it's fixed. :/ In our company we threw away hundreds of PCs with such hardware 5 years ago. Wasn't even worth selling.
-
This whole video, I was envisioning the “This is fine” meme with the dog surrounded by fire.
-
Seems like the seller just used this as a vehicle to move a bunch of part they knew were dead or were just ewaste anyways. You've done a great service though. While that system definitely wasn't worth it... even if everything were working, you've save someone else from buying it.

I purchased a AMD certified black max spec gaming PC from 2016 in 2017, the guy said the thing kept overheating and shutting down, which was true. he owned multiple cats and he had the water cooling air intake. Set to suck air in his water. Cooler was completely clogged with cat hair. I simply replaced the heat sink with a traditional system. Problem solved. Best $1900 computer I purchased for a whopping 200 bucks.
-
This is like a Hoovie’s Garage video, the PC was worth content and someone else didn’t get scammed
-
I can't believe someone would even sell this junk. It looks like someone threw together every non-working component they had and called it a computer.
-
Wow! what a disaster of a system! Someone clearly mistreated that hard drive, (whole PC) took a hammer to it or something. Some people have no shame in selling stuff like this.
-
13:49 that MOSFET is gone for sure, that's probably the VRM for the memory
-
There's no way the seller didnt know everything was broken in that.
-
Dont forget, Greg. "retro" PC Gaming is becoming a thing. People buy or build machines with old parts so they can run the games they grew up with on period correct hardware so they dont have to emulate or anything. definately keep the old parts incase you or someone you know wants to do so sometime in the future.
-
This was probably someone who buys broken PCs and takes out the good parts to build PCs and sell them throwing all the dead parts together and hoping another person who does the same things buys it.
-
Wow, the "made in China" sticker on the CPU was just crazy. Not only did someone stick it on there, but somebody else also didn't remove it when installing it.. And what's even funnier is that the CPU says Malay, so it was obviously made in Malaysia anyway. 🤣
-
Not sure if it matters but I just found out that motherboard's brand and model. It's a Machinist B75 X7-V124.
