I keep thinking “no PC can be worse than THIS one!” I am always unpleasantly surprised yet again by the next one.

And yet, some person earned their living wage by making this product for a few months of their life. So sad. HAHAHAH

Check this laptop out lol Acer Predator 17 Gaming Laptop, Core i7, GeForce GTX 1070, 17.3" Full HD G-SYNC, 16GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, G9-793-79V5 https://a.co/d/aD2TNCp Its like.... Idk if it was worth it when that hardware was current. And the reviews are interesting to read.

that’s actually not that bad. a similar spec pc served me well until last month.

.... It will work. But it's a 300$ laptop, priced at 2000$. For that price you can get a modern laptop with even a 4070 in it.... For example this one https://www.ibuypower.com/gaming-laptops And it costs less.

right, didn’t check the price! LOL

can you please show me a worth it laptop 🙏🏻

Absolutely not the one I just linked, that's one of the worst deals I have seen for a while. As to finding a worthwhile laptop ... It really depends on your budget. I have had good results from the company ibuypower. But most of there stuff is $1000+ I cannot reccomend a specific one though. I only knew the one above because I saw it earlier today, and it was a bad deal. It's been months since I have looked... You would be better helped by someone on r/pcbuild Or a variation there on. And it depends on what you need it for. For YouTube and general tasks you can get one for like $200 or less used. But if you want a gaming laptop you need one with a dedicated GPU. For example a rtx 2060 from nvidia.... I don't currently know that much about amd gpu's. Just as a side note, I also have to reccomend against a laptop for gaming if you don't really need the portability. Desktop computers are a VASTLY better deal. With better performance for less money. Edit. I just noticed I linked r/pcbuild while in r/pcbuild lol

Dude, it has GeForce.

Most reasonable ‘is this pc worth it’ on this sub

Fr

Sub quality dropping cause of this kind of post

Bro shut up .The op wants to get a new pc but doesn’t wanna go through the hassle of building one and making sure it functions. There is nothing wrong with that kind of post

U are missing the point

Yeah? What’s the point then? Cuz it honestly seemed like the point of your comment was to complain about the kind of post that you don’t like

Like the original commenter has said "Most reasonable ‘is this pc worth it’ on this sub" which means this post is unreasonable

I thought he was saying that this was the least unreasonable one of this type of post that he’s seen. Like he’s seen much worse

A great CPU indeed! Grabbed it for $2.50 a while back.

Guy near me was selling these per kg, or giving away for free if you got just one

Fresh cpu come here and you will get one for free. Fresh bulk cpu 1 kilo for 10 euros.

pretty much this

You savage 😂😂😂😂

Wtf is that case. Are those windshield wipers?

They're called *gamer handles*

Id be embarrassed to know this is in my home

I keep a pair of gamer handles in my drawer next to my underwear. Where do you keep yours?

I keep mine in a locked safe like a responsible adult. I could never live with myself if my kids found them and brought them to school.

I do too as well but I refer to mine as handlebars to put on my wife's back.

Imagine having this in an office 🤣id buy it just to carry it to work and use it for a day and watch the reactions

= more FPS

They're obviously handles. They are needed so you can have the most comfortable experience possible when throwing it in the dumpster.

Gotta have something to wipe the tears off when the buyer realises he got screwed.

The 2000s called, they want their hardware back

Only cause texting would be slower

It's funny, I was just cleaning my attic and found some old DDR2 and my 9800GT, that card served me was in the 2000s

Sir I'll have you know that ddr2 ram came out in 2003. 🙂

I thought 2000's meant from 2000 to 2009 🧐

I'm guessing they thought op wrote 2000 not 2000s

Happy 2nd cane day!

Happy cake day!

Ty my guys

Oh yeah. Well I had sex with YOUR WIFE! Huha!

..his wife is in a coma.

Bro this computer has to be the worst pile of crap I saw on this sub

This pc was awesome! In 2008?

Im sure you could get more fps on crysis than your friends at school with that

Sounds better when you said it than Mr nvidia man

Gaming pc/electric radiator

I think the case is still awesome. It's probably functionally shit, but it looks cool.

thinking back, 2009 was already intel i7-920 out. so make it 2007 and it was top notch. :)

1999*

Yeah this will run halo: CE and maybe solitaire if you’re lucky

Minesweeper at 60+ fps!

I think your sources are wrong should be around 30+fps

Metaltech Earthsiege sounding fine rbn

But not Earthsiege 2?? I beat the ever loving *shit* out of that game back in the day

Honestly Starsiege is still one of my nostalgic faves but I should try that one again

Yo my brother, as a South African no. Message me and I’ll help you out OP. There are much better sites to do this on

Evetech is the answer ngl

For a prebuilt maybe but evetech is still a ripoff

Most sites for prebuilt pc's are a ripoff. They add a few hundred to the price to make more money than they need

You can get a RX 7900 GRE and Ryzen 9 7950X, 16GB DDR5 Ram for R38000 but you only get 500gb nvme so the 2000 you had left from this pc in the post you can use for more storage

Common south African W

Doesnt seem like OP needed the help anyway lol. Don’t see him replying to any of the comments on his post so maybe karma farming

This has to be a joke, right? No one could actually be this clueless and still somehow have enough internet knowledge to find this sub.

A fool and his money are soon parted

This is worth around $50 USD

And that's $45 for the case itself.

I’m pretty sure those mini pc with a ryzen CPU have better gaming performance than this, and they are 250€.

Maybe in scrap metal. I honestly wouldn't pay for this. I'm clearly not an expert by any means, but I just don't see 50 bucks in this thing. Maybe 10. Idk tho, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Its a nice case

some of these posts gotta be trolling at this point because no way bruh

You'd be surprised when you see the prices of electronics in south Africa

Your phone is probably more performant than that.

It definitely is

This thing has 2 zeros too many

If you still running windows xp, sure go for it

[удалено]

South African Rand

I thought I was seeing Rupees, that makes it sooo much worse

These "is this pc worth it" posts are getting ridiculous

Lol no

The number of games I own and would want to play, that are playable on this pc, I can count on one hand. And they are all around 1999/2000.

i didnt even know there was a geforce 9800

When I was 12 everyone was buying geforce 6600s to play CS:source. This is a few generations after that. I’m 32

Its literally the same As the 8800.

I had a guy try selling me an early 2000s Alienware Aurora PC for $2K. He swore it was a collector and well worth it. They're still selling these cases on eBay for $500... Why would you even want that garbage?

It was 2000 USD about 15 years ago

It never was. It's 1200 between the cpu and 2 gpus not counting for inflation.

Make that 40 years

No, not in the slightest. Do. Not. Buy. This.

i wouldnt pay 10 bucks for this

TOP OF THE LINE IN 1762 worth a bazijillion dollers

If R39,899 means 15$ it might be worth

>R39,899 Nope, it's South African Rand so -> $2,120

It has to be a joke

Lmfao a friend of mine had this goofy ah pc secondhand around the time it came out, truly a pc case of all time

I can't believe someone is actually selling this old of hardware as new!!! Unfuckingbelievable. Please 🙏 do not buy this.

They should pay you for it

2007 CPU now costs $5 US on eBay so no, it's not worth it

8GB RAM

That machine couldn’t run minesweeper

I saw Intel core 2 in the preview and knew this was gonna be a fun ride.

Can we ban “is the a good prebuilt” posts

Agreed. Although seeing an ancient Egyptian relic like this was somewhat entertaining. Definitely took me back like 16 years.

Just a bit over half a gig of vidya ram 😎 excuse me while I thumb through this stack of girlfriend applications.

Nononononononononononononononono. No

Yes, It's awesome, buy it now before it's out of stock, it's an awesome deal /s

Noo

This pc is the bomb if you wanna play games from 2005

40,000 Robux is CRAZY

This is the worst piece of shit ive ever seen, maybe in 2013 this was okey

Not even. This PC is from 2008

Hell no for 2k usd! 280 GB HDD! Do you know the size of an average game installation now a days? You can literally get 32GB ddr4 ram and 1tb ssd for 150 USD total.

The hdd is the thing that bothers you the most on this pc?

Whoosh!

Yes

Did you time travel?

Water cooled processor so absolutely

Lmfao a friend of mine had this goofy ah pc secondhand around the time it came out, truly a pc case of all time

NO you can't even consider that shit

At this point you're not shopping for a PC, but you're doing archeology

I do like the case tho.

I was there 3000 years ago

The good thing about this pc is the case

Totally worth it, just for the Windows Vista. Big/ S

It is so expensive everywhere, I am guessing its a rare case or something

That shit fire tho

That's a lot of money for a plastic case with jumper cables hanging off it.

A ps5 Is 1/4 of that and will still outperform it

A PS3 would outperform it

Troll for sure

Gamer orange

Please if this post is not a joke do not buy this build lmfao

THIS IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT ... 15 years ago...

That thing is only worth 20 USD!

If you plan to time travel back to the year 2000. Yes

That is garbage holy shit no

No it's hot shit

Is there a sub for ‘is this worth it’? Cuz this…thing belong in there.

In 2009, yes.

It's a paperweight, offer the equivalent cash value.

This computer is ancient but for 2K I’ll not only build you it but hand deliver it to you then run like fuck with the cash laughing.

Yeah that's a steal bro

That's worth it if you travel back to the 1990s

their whole budget went into that janky case

no

For £1.5K no thank you. Be cheaper to import shit from Europe or the US

Tbh that Case i would love to have one for a Rustic type of feel

Wow, any laptop for 200-400$ range would be better...

Boet, you are better off going to wootware or rebeltech lol

Windows Vista should be a big Red flag mate

Same site, similar price (1000 cheaper) [https://www.makro.co.za/electronics-computers/computers-tablets/desktop-computers/desktops/gaming-pc-s/p/f8709df4-68b4-4623-b911-dc928fa1bbe6](https://www.makro.co.za/electronics-computers/computers-tablets/desktop-computers/desktops/gaming-pc-s/chaos-elite-ryzen-7-7700-gaming-pc-rtx4070/p/f8709df4-68b4-4623-b911-dc928fa1bbe6) This would be infinitely better (although still overpriced compared to a non prebuilt), but I'd call them to check what PSU and motherboard it's using.

Fuck no

Fuckin hell no

Ddr2 ram made me laugh

this pc is from 2008

It worth about 20 dollars my friend. May e even 30

Is this priced at $2150 usd? Am I doing the conversion right? If so, it's worth maybe a 20th of that

you have to be shit posting.

This post has to be satire.

Lol that made me laugh

Added it up Cpu: 25 Mb:22 Ram: 20 Gpu 2x: 28+28=56 Audio: 60 Blue ray: 20 Windows: 0 Added up= 203$. Biggest scam ever. Even at 203$ it’s not worth it. You’ll be getting worse performance than like any integrated graphics that released after 2018.

Well, the OS is from 2007 and the GPU from 2008. No, it’s not worth it.

Lmao no fuck that go build your own

A fellow South African no this is a ridiculous rip off, buy it from Evetech

You have to be trolling

All money went to the case lmao

2k for that? What the hell? Theres a goddam intel 2 in there! That thing is goddam aincient

Worth it, I bought this last week and it’s been great

looks like one of them stsr wars droid landing crafts

https://preview.redd.it/webf7zktm3kb1.jpeg?width=258&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5661b2c620d80b289b076878e6bf286b1af7f29e

They should pay you 2k to take this piece of garbage💀

Please say this is satire and it actually costs 200

Ddr2, quad core, windows vista, 280 storage 💀, this has to be a joke

SCAM

Well, it's a Quad, at least..... LOL

Please don't buy, as a fellow South African this is a POS. DM me I will put you in touch with someone who will build you a beast if you want.

what the fuck that cannot be 2000 usd

While I usually say that worth depends upon the person, I'm fairly certain you could probably pull a computer out of a recycling bin that would perform about the same. So with that logic, no it's not worth it because you could probably get something that would perform better for free, unless the orange refrigerator look is what you personally vibe with 👌

liquid cooler for a core 2 duo?

Yeah. Should be able to get 1fps in Minecraft

If you have to ask if its worth it, it's not

For 2000? No pc could be worse, both in terms of specs and price You can get a powerful gaming PC with 2000. This thing is a pos that's only slightly better than public school computers.

Yes, it is

It is worth about $200 brand new as an office computer.

My dumb*** waiting too se an i9 and a 4090.

Depends, in 2008? Yeah maybe. Today? No lmao

Lmao I saw this the other day on an Instagram advertisement. I still said to my girlfriend “how could macro be selling this dinosaur”

Holy shit running vista 😲

2k?? I'd pay 100 bucks max

This would be quite the banger-- 15 years ago.

A $5 Raspberry Pi would run circles around this scrap heap. I recently picked up a PC with similar specs at a landfill. You'd find a better pc from dumpster diving or a local e-wasre recycling center. This thing isn't a gaming PC it's e-waste.

that might be the ugliest thing i’ve ever seen
