To be fair ( I even think LTT said the same thing) they don't advertise themselves as a gaming desktop. though the wording could be better, because after analyzing Rich's screenshot it says "RGB gaming desktop keyboard...". So it's not saying the desktop is gaming, but the keyboard lol. Obviously since they had the word " gaming" it popped up into Rich's search results. I think according to an Austin Evans video the cheapest gaming desktop was around $400 and was very small.

You can't really give it a fair shake if it doesn't have a gpu besides Intel HD Graphics in there. The specs are actually decent.

I wonder if this PC has enough juice to handle an RX 6400... Adding one would make it kind of decent value. Or maybe even some decent GT1030 variant? Maybe I'm weird, but there's some charm to weird refurbished computers and as Linus said it, keeping stuff out of a landfill is a good thing in itself. I have a refurbished Dell laptop, a kind of professional workstation that would cost obscene amounts of money new... And I absolutely love it. If Treasure Box validates the PCs and do basic refurbishing beside cosmetics, the only thing really "wrong" about these glittery abominations is the deceptive marketing. The tacky aestetic is pretty funny and a properly informed user can likely get a lot of utility out of them. :)

You can probably plug in a low profile 1050ti Nvidia graphics card. That should allow you to run some older Triple A titles above 30FPS-40FPS, possibly. Not providing a “gaming” pc with a dedicated GPU and relying on an old intel processor on an old motherboard a decade old was the final nail in the coffin as far as gaming is concerned.

Buying an old optiplex or elite desk and throwing in a GTX 1050ti or GTX 1650 used to be a be a good way to get a cheap semi decent gaming pc. I did this a few years ago for my niece when she was still quite young and just getting in to gaming. It cost about £140 for a sff hp elite desk with the same cpu as this. I added a low profile1050ti and 16GB ram and a SSD, and it did well for a while. Problem is, I did all this when the 10 series GPUs were still relevant and you could still get away with a quad core CPU. These days though, since they still go for pretty much the same price for the exact same massively outdated systems and a 1050ti probably costs more than what I paid for it at the time, it's really not worth it. And as for this particular monstrosity I first saw them a few months ago when someone in my sims group was asking about them. I think it was more expensive too... like 300ish iirc I guess people weren't willing to pay 300 bucks for a vajazzled optiplex😂
