I Bought a $500 Prebuilt from Jawa Undercover…

[@Gaming_Workstations]

Hi Zach! Thanks for reviewing one of mine! I appreciate all the positives and all the recommendations! Thank you for taking the time to help sellers and Jawa as a whole get better! Looking forward to more videos like this one! My systems do include a quick start guide, a benchmark summary, and receipt breaking down total cost for sales tax reasons. How lucky I am to forget to include this stuff on the most important one!!! Apologize for the paint on the packing, I'm sure that if it was any other color this wouldn't have been a point. I do a lot of custom work requests to paint GPUs, I often use anything I have at arms reach to clean a clogged nozzle or mask off paint and this was the first time I've done a candy apple red GPU (Really does look bad on that white foam though). Thanks, I will check my packing materials box for any paint (particularly red) from now on. - My quick start guide does address the power supply check, and GPU video guide with pictures. I promise it has been included and will continue to be included in all my future builds! - Although, I am not sure why or how the LAN drivers are not present, I do a test installation of win10 to run all my benchmarks using a LAN cable for internet access. This one is a mystery and a real thing to check from now on. Thanks! - The power supply is "technically" new. It was purchased on Amazon, but I received the wrong model. RAIDMAX Vortex RX-800AE 80+ Gold. The package did not look in excellent condition, so I decided to label it as not new to avoid a long explanation. I understand that it may not be the best out there, but at 800W and 80+ Gold, it is definitely more than okay for a power efficient build. - The windows installation is OOBE to adhere to Microsoft's legal stuff! Technically setting up a PC for a customer is not entirely legal, so I've been advised... I've always done the complete setup with drivers, RGB software, etc. but I decided to omit that and go with the Jawa Commission Build rules and setup all my builds as OOBE evenly. I'll like to continue the trend that Toasty Bros started by offering a free Micron 2TB sata SSD addition to the next 3 sales on Jawa that mention this comment and your video!

[@jxnkie613]

I’m glad you took his criticism the right way

[@LoganAlexT]

Should have had you paint that Zotac card white, WHOOPS. Highly, HIGHLY recommend Gaming Workstations for your next PC. Stellar builds, stellar pricing, and stellar support.

[@Jawagg]

Thanks for being a good sport about this! I truly had no idea Zach was doing this review. I'm not surprised the overall impression was positive - you're one of our biggest and best sellers! And we had no idea Zach was a blood spatter expert on the side... ;) Personally, I like using packaging rather than throwing it out, but I understand the criticism since we want to be competing with the larger PC companies out there. Thanks so much for being a valued Jawa seller! -Amanda, CEO Jawa

[@ttcustompcs]

As a fellow seller, I commend you, your PC overall is quality and with the budget range you were working with you did great.

[@vinnie4v277]

Great pc! With using this feedback to setup pc better etc, you maybe can charge a bit more:P

[@xxspawnxx]

If someone has blood splattered on foam around my pc. I’m buying more from them. Their willing to bleed for me. I need more like this

[@Gaming_Workstations]

🤣

[@ZachsTechTurf]

Now there's a take that I didn't knew I needed, but I'm glad it's here. Thanks

[@ZachsTechTurf]

Check out the 1Inch wallet here: 1inch.network/3WCHkbC (Will switch this Pinned Comment to Gaming Workstations & Services comment once I see it)

[@Iliterallydontknow14]

Lol

[@Mstained]

My guess as to why GWS only used a cable extension on the GPU is cause most of the cable kits that you can buy come with multiple GPU connectors and a lot of cards only require one 8 pin connection so you end up with a bunch of left over cables. So instead of letting them go to waste they toss the extras in more budget builds to add some aesthetics and not spend a ton on a whole cable kit.

[@D.Shoots]

ive done this before i always save the extras

[@lodkikass]

I was thinking the same while watching the video, saw your comment and figured I'd reply

[@Gaming_Workstations]

Exactly! Can't let them go to waste :)

[@LoganAlexT]

Exactly. As someone who builds/sells 20-30 machines a month, I do the same thing as Gaming Workstations. Utilize the extra cable extensions to keep them out of the landfill and spruce up the build a little bit, without adding cost.

[@ZachsTechTurf]

That very well could be what happened!

[@wycszn1049]

decent buy. last weekend i picked up a 75 hz monitor, corsair keyboard and a full pc build for 275. Seller said the pc didnt boot and needed new parts. I tore it down cleaned it all and tested everything individually to find no issues, so i did new paste and put it back together..pc booted right up. Ryzen 2200g with an evga 1070 and 16gb of ram. even tho its outdated i still feel like its an insane value for the performance im getting. Only had to buy a mouse for it

[@ZachsTechTurf]

Haha wow that's awesome to hear! Love those kind of deals.

[@coolduder1001]

Remember, blood turns brown when it oxidizes. So it's very obvious that it's not blood. Also I understand and prefer the single extension on the GPU. Between the choice of no extension or that for the same price, I like this because it means no stupid dangling extensions.

[@paytonbohn6879]

Thank you for being so open about your position, a lot of people wouldn’t say anything, even if they did they would be discreet, so thank you Zach.

[@ZachsTechTurf]

Transparency for sure over here!

[@m.hreels9822]

This is such a great video! I just found out about Jawa and bought my first PC from them. It's great that you have equity in the company, and I am very impressed with them so far. I hope they continue to grow and more people find out about them because they’re a far better and safer option than eBay. I bought my PC for around $870, and it has the same type of case that you show in this video but with slightly updated specs. So far, the seller has been super nice, responding extremely quickly and being nothing but professional, kind, and friendly! I hope you continue doing business with them because I am thoroughly impressed! I can easily see Jawa becoming the number one online computer retailer in the next couple of years. It gives me peace of mind that consumers have safer options, especially if it’s their first time buying a gaming computer! Thanks again-awesome video!

[@splsystems]

Regarding the power supply, this is the Gold rated one which means it is indeed tier C speculative. We know it's built by Andyson on platform code Q8, but not much else.

[@ZachsTechTurf]

Thanks for the info!

[@SamarthCat]

TIP: If you don't have ethernet or a WiFI card you can use an android phone to share the connection via USB. It's "USB Tethering" in the cellular hotspot section.

[@ZSchrink]

Blood dries to a brown color. If this foam had showed up to me, I would honestly be glad that it wasn't just tossed in the bin because of a little bit of paint.

[@Drenixx]

You actually aren't allowed to setup windows for people. I think thats why he did that. Also i don't mind the 24 pin and cpu cables not having extension, you don't notice them as a normal gamer. And those gpu cables are always leftover extras anyway so better than to go to waste

[@toukoenriaze9870]

Honestly I thought it was a cosmetic choice to blend in the graphics card

[@ChristopherOrmond]

I understand why he went with the GPU extension cable, it is the longest and most prominent cable than the other two are. Is the power supply, the first thing on the customer checklist?, It could get Switched Off, during packing or unpacking the PC.

[@felipe71arg]

This is pure gold. Thanks for the undercover buys, more pls!

[@ZachsTechTurf]

Glad to hear it!

[@massivemancomputers]

As a seller on Jawa, I really think the future is extremely bright. This video definitely helps, but the only thing I don't necessarily agree on is the stance towards updating the BIOS. I've always been in the camp of, if it isn't broken, don't fix it. If the PC is working fine with the current BIOS, I wouldn't update it.

[@b0ne91]

Now they might upgrade the RAM a couple months later, it's not fully supported because you were using an older B450 or A320 and they might have intermittent BSOD. Or they might upgrade the GPU down the line and can't seem to enable SAM. It makes perfect sense to update the BIOS before selling it.

[@raym7441]

I used to be in this camp as well but lately there have been many security issues and important patches that warrant such an update, I always update to the latest Bios before selling to a client.

[@MrRoro582]

I am in the medical field and that does not look like blood but I can kinda see your point.

[@Madridista-100]

Blood is crazy 😂

[@edgybeggy5479]

Zach when is jawa gonna become global? I have reviwed the site multiple times and it looks amazing but it is not in EU hopefully we could see that in the future

[@mygman92]

As a person with blood, that has seen blood. Blood goes brown within like a couple minutes.

[@mygman92]

Also his commissions and higher priced pc’s look hella dope even his more mid ranged.

[@mannydcbianco]

I have used Jawa to buy used graphics cards a few times, and while the selection is tiiiiny compared to eBay the prices are not rarely slightly better. Scored a 5600 XT for, if memory serves, 85 dollars. That's a steal for a very competent esports 1080p card.

[@yourgreatancestor.]

The only thing I dislike about jawa is that there is no international shipping or I'd have ordered one a while ago.

[@yogirl_Kaylee-hr1qk]

how long did it take to get yours?

[@yourgreatancestor.]

@@yogirl_Kaylee-hr1qk I bought and built mine locally

[@banboyo7564]

I like the videos and its all good content but I feel like you can be a little too strict on stuff like the red on the foam They are a much smaller seller so you cant expect such high standards same with the guide sheet some people just look to flip and sell quick on deals and like you said there is a small profit margin and so that would just be adding to the cost time and effort.

[@kennethwillis8339]

Got an email from Jawa asking what I was looking for. I said exactly what GPU I wanted. No response. Waited for several days.

[@Ebw517]

my friend bought one to for a year ago it was a scam pc off course so I got him to refund it and it didn't even have a integrated gpu so I built one for him instead and guess what he paid for that pc 600 dollars

[@stingrayslapper1595]

Good price to performance is a GTX 1060 3gb for 535???? lol ok man

[@b0ne91]

It is for prebuilts in this price category. That look ain't cheap and as far as I understand, the 535 were including shipping? There needs to be some profit margin. Of course I can build this or something similar for $400, or considerably less with used parts and some deals. But as far as I understand, the seller (according to their comment) transfers warranty and specifically tries to buy as many parts new as possibly.

[@ZanZam]

[@HairyScrambler]

For $500 that’s not great. The 1060 3GB is iffy at best and should be avoided moving forward unless you get one for like $30 lol

[@tamarat.8810]

The look is pretty clean for the price. Alot of times builders dont make budget pcs aesthetically appealing which just because you dont have a high budget it shouldn't have to look like crap.I also believe there should be some focus on these smaller case builds for younger kids who play simpler games Roblox etc with decent specs and appealling at a good price..... especially geared towards girls that like to play alot of builds are not made for them.
