Frankenstein was my best flip yet!! Flipping junk Episode 5

[@rwl0323]

Excellent video! I love Frankenstein computers! I happen to have a Z440 that I use as my daily driver and got it as a refurbished unit cheap. I had an RX 580 in it for a while and just recently upgraded to an RX 6600 XT. Nice to see that those HP to ATX power adapter cables worked. I also have a Z240 and I tried 3 different power adapters to use an ATX supply and none worked. Good stuff!

Wow look at the subs! Glad to see this channel growing. This new segment is awesome man.

[@DLMtechgarage]

thanks controversial to some over my scam pc video though lol

[@stevenwilliams6638]

@@DLMtechgarage It’s silly. If you feel It’s a scam than you are well within your rights to refer to it as such.

(screw falls out) ill fix it later ( its a feature) lol

[@rmcdudmk212]

Those HP z systems are still powerful machines. Currently looking for a cheep z840 for some dual xeon goodness 😁

[@ItIsNot1984]

The cooler on the combo you took out of the case is a cooler master N520. I throw them on ebay and get about $30 to $40 off them. Swap it out with a cheap cooler next time.

[@DLMtechgarage]

thanks for the info

[@flippingelectrons]

Amazon has cooler master RGB v3 cpu coolers for 10 bucks right now worth it to pick a bunch up

Can please you put these flipping junk videos into a playlist?

[@DLMtechgarage]

I will, thanks for the info

Thats a Full ATX case since its about 22 inches tall.

i miss the old school high end cases with all the drive bays.

I feel privileged, I haven't used a HDD as a game drive for 5 years. SSD to m.2 gen4 now. Still use HDD for treasured memory photos. My other half on the other hand only just transitioned from HDD to SSD & recently to Gen3 m.2, she suffered in silence😬🤣

The main,and the most important tip is - go for a paid ad,not a free one.

[@SHO1989]

I'm newly subscribed and like the flipping junk idea. Some of these big cases have a ton of hard drive slots in them making them a good option for a NAS build. You ought to look into branching out beyond gaming rigs and add a NAS flip now and then. I've recently discovered the used data center hard drives market where some vendors repurpose retired data center drives and sell them cheap online with up to a 5 year warranty. They guarantee no bad sectors and 100% health tests. I recently rebuilt my home NAS with five 12TB drives that were $70 each. With a raid redundancy set-up I can lose a drive and not lose data and send the failed drive back for a warranty replacement. This setup is a lot less expensive than new NAS parts and performs very well. I'll bet you could find a market for selling rigs like that. Plenty of free NAS OS options out there and using these instead of getting a proprietary NAS like Synology you won't end up with obsolete hardware when they decide to end of life that model. A nice selling point.

[@flitai]

Nowadays with SATA to M.2 adaptors there is really no reason to bog down your PC with a HDD. Might just be me tho. SSDs cost less than $35 so definitely worth the performance boost.

[@SHO1989]

@flitai Where are you getting 12TB SSD drives for $35? I agree, the performance increase would be nice.

[@flitai]

@@SHO1989 who tf said anything about 12tb. The space on HDD's is negated by their 2008 brick PC speed.

[@dagthewog6290]

Nice! Thank you.

[@danthompsett2894]

NIce old rig, geuss that is the bueaty of old xeon systems, more ram slots and ecc, feel sad you sold the caselabs case though but I understand why. that heatsink looks snazzy with the staggered fans.

[@SteveStrassburg]

I have a Z600 with dual Intel Xeon X5570 and 24 GB of ECC. That has been running for 6 years 24/7 as my NAS. Need to replace it, fans are getting a bit noisy. Not bad for a 10 year old system when I bought it. Working on a new build to replace it.

[@pcguy21]

Hey DLM, have you ever flipped a PC on ebay or only places like Facebook market place?

[@DLMtechgarage]

only facebook

[@2009numan]

you said the ssd was a 256gb samsung, so why did it have a sandisk sticker on it ?

[@DLMtechgarage]

i had said it wrong

You didnt say what the cpu was ?

[@catherinemorgan2741]

Good day sir

[@DLMtechgarage]

same to you!

[@DuneRunnerEnterprises]

That's why you shake the pc case!!!

[@cdnron75]

Still calling the $40 or $50 PC a "scam" PC, even after supposedly selling the motherboard and CPU on eBay for $100? I say supposedly because the screenshot shown of the eBay sale is suspicious, because neither of the ones shown have the same CPU as the "scam" PC. Also, I looked up both eBay sellers. One is in Pennsylvania and the other is in Illinois, and as you've admitted in previous videos, you're in North Carolina. So why lie about selling the motherboard and CPU combo? Or if you aren't lying about it, why show someone else's sale? What else are you lying about? Likely the prices, because the prices you claim to get for ancient hardware is laughable.

[@ocelot20]

Not shitting on you. I do what you do and sell PC's as a side thing. I solely stick to AMD am4 platform though. As a PC gamer my self. I just couldnt source say old intel boards and slap in old i5 4440's and pair with a equally old gpu and call it a gaming PC's. I would die inside if i purposely sold such a PC to some kid who probably saved up all their pocket money for it. I much rather refurb a ps4 and sell them that. But yer I buy cheap am4 boards from aliexpress/fbm/ebay. 16gb dual channel memory, 500gb m.2, ryzen 1600af/2600 at min, 500w corsair or evga psu and a budget case as for gpu bare min 1060 6gb. Normally I just charge what i paid for the parts then add £70 on top for building and testing. Its not solely about profit for me i love building PC's. Its a win win for me and my customers. As i make a small profit + enjoyment of building and testing. The customers get a fairly modern Pc with plenty of upgrade options. They can take that 2600 cpu out and replace with a 5800x3d if they wish. Can swap the 16gb out for 32gb. Options to adding more storage and could easily swap out the 1060 for say a 4060.

[@DLMtechgarage]

appreciate the insight

[@AtagoJRPG]

DUDE, STOP CALLING THAT PERSON AND THE PC THAT YOU BOUGHT IT FROM A SCAM/SCAMMER. it's super cringe worthy. I subscribed to your channel for your content, not name calling and bashing other people for stuff that you didn't know about. You should do some research on PC parts before you buy them. That's what i do know because it will save me the trouble and pain of stuff that doesn't meet my expectations later on. That PC is fine for running older games, since there is a market for people that play older games or do retro stuff with it. along with being capable of running a Linux Distro as well. every video that you have put out since then has made me annoyed when you mention that other person and his pc. grow up and apologize for that.

[@DLMtechgarage]

it's not mentioned in the remaining two videos

[@PontiacsGarage]

It went from $40 to $50 for the "scam" PC that wasnt even a scam? I know people get busy, but at least get your info in order. I didn't even buy the stuff but I can remember the prices. And how was it a scam if you made $$? You sold it for $90 on ebay. You made $50 profit. I like watching computer videos but I think I'm about done with your channel. Unsubscribe from me. Deuces .

[@cdnron75]

You're right. I remember the prices of everything I've bought when I flip a computer because I want to know exactly how much profit I'm going to be making off of it. It's probably because he's lying about all of it. Liars have a hard time keeping their stories straight. I don't even believe that he sold that board and CPU on eBay. What made me suspicious is that both of the eBay listings he shows in the screenshot have different CPUs than the "scam" PC had. The "scam" PC had a Phenom II X6 1090T. The first listing seems to be the one he's claiming to have sold as the price matches up. That listing has an FX-4350. I looked up that seller and they are based in Pennsylvania. DLM has stated that he lives in North Carolina. 🤔 So I decided to look up the seller in the second ad, which has an Athlon X4 635. That seller is based in Illinois. So neither of the listings shown in the screenshot were his.
