I got a CRAZY deal on this USED PC!

okay so today's video is going to be a

bit different from the kind of stuff

that I normally do today we're going to

be talking about use PCS and I'm going

to go on Facebook Marketplace I'm going

to find one I'm going to buy it we're

going to go over it we're going to talk

about things to do with a use system

ways to protect yourself things to

consider and then we're going to see

whether or not I actually got a good

deal spoiler alert I already found one

and I already got it so hopefully I

didn't just poof money Into Thin

Air we interrupt this video to bring you

a special message from iFix it no we

interrupt this Interruption with this

Interruption about new stuff from my fix

it P you in the graphics card but

inventory sucks fix the inventory

problems with I fix it wo don't drop it

can't fix that with I fix it just

kidding yes you can wish you could take

I fix it with you anywhere but your

pockets aren't big enough introducing

the new moare and a new minnow take them

with you

anywhere so get iix it for your loved

one or just get them for

yourself so this is the one I actually

found and got local to me it says it's a

it's an omen 30 L gaming I like how it's

Tech ially 30 30 l or whatever I think

that's what the L stands for but anyway

it's an omen PC which is actually the HP

gaming brand um but one of one of the

things I like about the omen PCS I've

never looked at one in person this will

be my first time looking at one but the

fact that it um it uses like standard

off the-shelf Parts whereas some of the

issues with like Alienware and Dell and

other some other gaming companies that

are from part of like big companies like

d and HP in the past is they would have

like proprietary motherboards or weird

layouts and things that are not standard

so if you ever needed to fix or replace

or upgrade something you couldn't do it

because it was just not offthe shelf

type parts and that's what this

particular Omen is now you'll see here

it says sold they had initially listed

for $850 they put on here 750 spoiler

alert I got it for 400 so I did one of

those like I threw out a low ball they

took it we met up I talked to him

yesterday met up today we now have it

we'll be taking a look at it let's talk

about the specs here so it's an AMD

ryzen 5 5600 G so it's a am4 board which

is is using 5000 series uh ryzen which

is new enough to be perfectly fine for

pretty much any title it's not a super

like low-end CPU like a 5400g or

anything like that the 5600 even though

it has an igpu so has plenty of

performance when it comes to CPU but

we're not using the igpu because it

actually has an RTX 3060 in there here

it is right here you can see the RTX

3060 it might just be kind of a No Name

non-branded bulk sale that companies

like HP and Dell and alien weere buy so

may not even show like an MSI logo or

whatever it may be but it's still an RTX

3060 it's just a no FRS version which is

perfectly fine now I wanted to know

whether or not that was actually going

to be a decent deal because the other

stuff we have in here obviously it's Ram

is a hyperx 16 GB I put XMP but I don't

put the speed but anyway it's 16 GB of

ddr4 in dual Channel they RGB sticks I

can see that we have two channels so

that means we're not dealing with a

single 16 gig stick which in single

channel would have really sucked but

again when it comes to price pring I

wanted to see how we were doing here so

I went to Amazon and I put in a the

cheapest RTX 30 I 3060 I could find

which was

$299 so as you can see we're already can

I build the rest of the system for 100

bucks the answer is no cuz it also has a

1 tab SSD don't know if it's nvme I

don't know if it's SATA doesn't really

matter at this point cuz the drive is

something we're going to talk about on

used computers but obviously we still

have a power supply in here we still

have Ram we still have the case and we

have storage

because once I put in the 5600 G which

is

$137 on Prime on Amazon my cart total is

already at

$437 so as you can see for 400 bucks I

got a hell of a deal here so one of the

ways I got the deal was I actually

started talking to them yesterday well I

messaged them yesterday on Marketplace

messenger didn't get any responses

looked at a few other systems was

actually intending to drive into LA

today to buy a different system which is

a little bit higher spec previous gen it

was like a 20 I think it had RTX 280 in

there which would have been a f faster G

GPU than a 3060 but I had a much slower

CPU at a 9700 9700 nonk so that's a

ninth gen Intel which it now definitely

starts showing its age especially

without it being an overclocking

CPU they got back to me late last night

that's when I offered the five and they

were like okay and then today I did the

whole oh I found a better deal are you

willing to take four and they were like

well will you do that for just the tower

cuz if we look at the listing they also

say here comes with a Logitech LED

keyboard and a Logitech g502 hero Mouse

so the mouse alone has some value the

g502 is a very popular Mouse and it has

32 GB of ddr4 hyperx included which is

basically just two more sticks of the

same Ram I don't want to run four sticks

of ram so I wanted to keep the price

down here are the pictures of those

peripherals that we didn't take right so

there's the Logitech keyboard there's

the mouse so by basically saying I don't

care about getting the peripherals or

the extra Ram uh at 400 bucks gave us an

incredible deal if they would have taken

500 even for the extra Ram they wouldn't

have been worth it cuz I can get 16 GB

of RAM for less than 100 bucks now they

would be mismatched kits but I'd much

rather have two sticks tme 32 GB 2 16

gig sticks rather than having uh four

sticks which I know gives us trouble

when it comes to booting and running XMP

or docp profiles when it comes to four

sticks R anyway I already got it already

picked it up it's over there in the test

area let's go take a look at it so here

it is right here um you can see all the

offthe shelf stuff it's a microatx board

it is an nvme SSD 1 tbyte right there

it's a Cooler Master 500 W power supply

in fact let me take the side off um this

is the case as you can see plenty of

ventilation I guess e we had to do some

cleaning one of the things you have to

deal with on a used system uh I do

happen to know they kept this system

down near the carpet so just based on

the photos it looks like this was an

under desk system that's why that bottom

fan looks so gross so in terms of

cooling it's pulling an air through

these vents on the side side right here

and then I think we have an exhaust fan

on the top and one on the back do we

have one on the top nope none on the top

it's actually fairly clean inside I've

never taken a look at an omen

PC

smoker just thought I'd point that out

real quick we got some cleaning we got

to do we have a proprietary plug of some

sort right here I don't know what this

is for that's there um so here's our Ram

right here so you can see it's our

hyperx fury it's RGB 30 733 that's an

interesting speed I'm not going to take

anything out right now I actually want

to make sure it works before we go

cleaning it the reason why I'm saying

that is because if I go cleaning it

messing around with it and then

something doesn't work I don't know if

I'm oops necessarily the one that caused

the problem sometimes when people are

really willing to be like oh yeah hell

hell yeah I'll take a I'll discount it

nearly 50% over my initial asking price

that can sometimes be because they're

hiding something or they just want to

quickly get rid of it take whatever cash

they can now I asked the guy I said so

why are you upgrading and he didn't

recognize me which was already a great

sign for me it really was cuz I don't

want to have like oh you got a special

deal because of who you are the guy

didn't know who I was uh anyway he said

he upgraded to a custom built makes

sense a lot of people buy an all-in-one

like this they get bitten by the bug and

then they upgrade it's not an uncommon

story so let me just plug everything in

right here and make sure it works I will

not be plugging anything into the

internet then we'll talk about safety

when it comes to used PCS like this cuz

the point here was to see can I find a a

super deal as someone that has

admittedly lost contact with reality a

little bit because of being surrounded

by this stuff all

right turned on the omen lights up

that's

neat as you can see it's also a box

cooler type style for um HP Omen it says

Omen on it but essentially it's the

super basic like wraith cooler oh hey

got an image that's good Windows is

there if their information's on there

take the drive out entirely in my

opinion is just a moment this might be a

first time setup if that is that means

he went in here and reset Windows which

should tell me we're dealing with

someone already that knows a little bit

more than the average person when it

comes to selling a used

computer but I have an important piece

of safety information even if Windows is

installed and it looks like it's a first

time setup

Etc I would personally not use the drive

supplied with it for multiple multiple

reasons one nvmes are cheap enough now

to where you can find yourself yeah they

did do the outof boox experience which

you can use to set up the system my

major reason for saying this you never

know if there's key loggers or something

installed I feel a little bit confident

right now with this system going ahead

and going through the first time

setup I know what to look for when it

comes to whether or not someone's put

something on the system to try and spoof

your information or key log or whatever

um you'd be surprised what people will

do to try and steal identity but I would

never trust a system that boots right

into Windows and is sitting at a desktop

without you going through this user

experience you never know what's present

so that's why if it had a if it had

windows on there that went right to the

desktop without this first time setup I

probably would have like gone the route

of taking the drive out uh or doing a

fresh install of Windows and formatting

that drive from the start just to make

sure that nothing is on there that's

nefarious so you're going to notice some

extra steps on this anyway if it was a

pre-built system from like HP or Dell or

Alienware or whatever they have very

specific Windows versions for them that

allow them to do extra stuff like Ping

to register your device or whatever the

previous page to this one said do I want

to register with HP it was optional I

said no but now I can uncheck this HP

stuff this makes me feel a little bit

more confident about this version of

Windows because of the fact that means

it's probably DRM to this motherboard it

also means if we go around change

changing any hardware we probably will

unregister our Windows which means we'd

have to buy a key now fortunately

there's a lot of key not generators I

that sounds very like scammy there's

lots of websites out there where you can

get like unused keys for like 20 bucks

right they're legit keys and stuff I've

never worked with any of those Brands I

know a lot of people highly believe in

them and all lot of my own commenters

have said dude you can get a Windows key

for like 15 bucks that's totally legit

Etc you can look into those options if

you want to wipe the DRM version of

Windows off of this um anyway we're

doing updates right now it's a

completely different update window to

normally when you see Windows updates

happening on a new install uh it happens

in the background but because this is

designed to be like an outof boox user

experience for an oem like HP in this in

this case it's very inyour face about

what's happening so now we have no

choice but just sort of sit here and

wait while the system updates itself but

one thing I want to talk about real

quick I have a feeling this is not the

original Ram that came with the system I

think he upgraded the ram only because

it seems odd to me that everything in

here is basic like and this in this case

black pcbs but basically green

PCB No Frills type of Hardware that's

supplied to companies like HP and Dell

and stuff but I have a feeling he added

more RAM to this it may have initially

been an 8 GB system or potentially a 16

GB system of just boring RAM and he

wanted lighting or something and so he

put RGB lights in there I find it hard

to believe that HP would put RGB Ram in

there and then just let it RGB like this

now it's very possible that that's

actually the way it went down I don't

know that I haven't searched what the

current HP Omen systems and stuff look

like but that's what's in this one what

I'm happy about this I've already said

it multiple times and I'll say it again

it's a standard microatx layout it's got

the same 369 screw holes I have a

feeling though this one is going to give

us some pretty solid performance for the

money you got to remember yeah it's a

5600 G nothing really to write home

about it's a 3060 easily one of the more

popular gpus that has replaced the 1060

as the popular GPU again nothing super

super worth riding home about but you

can't really buy one for under 300 bucks

new right now so that makes this one

hell of a deal all right enough talking

let's just uh wait and see how long this

is going to take all right so all the

updates are done I've not blown out any

of the dust or anything so far I want to

see how things are identifying

themselves make sure the specs are what

they're supposed to be okay so it is a

ryzen 5600 G as stated GPU is an RTX 360

and then our Ram we have 16 GB running

at 3200 mehz

so I I think it feels like a pretty

solid deal so far everything is what it

said it's supposed to be oh and then the

disc is a 1 TB Western Digital it's an

SN 530 couple of things I would probably

recommend to um prior to buying a used

system try and see proof of it running

they posted pictures of it on like I

said it lit up they didn't show a screen

of it on to be even then that that

picture could be faked it could be

something else plugging like a laptop

plugged into a screen to look like it's

on but saw it powered on that was good

enough for me um I was also personally

willing to take the risk but I always

would promote like hey can you take a

quick video of it on like on your cell

phone or something and like have a piece

of paper with your name on it or

something the name of whoever the sales

post is so you can see it's real and on

and running most of the posts I found

did include videos on their postings of

the system on this one did not however

um but it seemed uh it almost seem too

good to be true at the original 750

actually they originally wanted $850 and

then 750 it would not have been a good

deal I could have built the system with

brand new parts probably for cheaper

than that but now as you saw what I got

it for that would have been absolutely

impossible our updates are done um now

I'm just going to go through and make

sure like my drivers are correct and all

of that um I'm going to blow out some of

this dust take the front glass off which

just has a screw right here on the

bottom blow out this dust and get as

much of it off as I can then we'll take

a look at how the temperatures are and

stuff like that I guess at that point

we'll just play a game or two on on here

and see how it does all right so I'm

taking off the GPU Mount here real quick

has the world's biggest GPU mount for a

world's smallest GPU but as you can see
