Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “DKOldies, but actually good”.
Today, I’m going to be building a gaming PC from Walmart … Until I discovered this., Uh, … Hello., So they’re selling a restored Asus ROG STRIX gaming PC.. So if I try to build the same system on PCPartPicker with that Ryzen 7, a relatively cheap board 3060, I’m spending $ 824., Whereas on Walmart I’m getting that same system or basically the same system for 679 bucks.. So this is such a good deal, but actually, I will say it’s not actually sold from Walmart, even though I’m buying this from walmart.com.. It actually is sold and shipped by VIP OUTLET. Who the hell are VIP OUTLET, Although I will say that name does ring a bell..
We ordered a cheap Nintendo Switch on Wish and got a essentially brand new Switch. Lenovo Legion T7 $ 1,900.. This vendor seems pretty legit..
I don’t think this is a gaming PC video anymore.. So I wanted to sit down today and do this video telling you all about how I’m gon na build a gaming PC at Walmart.. I don’t think there’s much point., I feel like.
I need to know who VIP OUTLET are. VIP OUTLET. Save up to 70 % on top brands., So they actually have their own website. Here., Free shipping and free returns great savings on top brands.
Apple Samsung, Sony, Microsoft, Intel-, Whoa, whoa, whoa, Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, “. Vip OUTLET is North America’s largest refurbisher of retail returns.”, So VIP OUTLET, literally just “ refurbished” returns., So I’m sure they buy pallets of old computers or tech or whatever, from Walmart or from Amazon or from whoever. They refurbish them, which who knows how much work. That is, and they will turn around and they’ll, sell them back.. Even on Walmart’s own website. Yo, I’m going down the rabbit hole right, now., Okay, We got ourselves a discounted PS5. They have a digital PS5 for $ 360.. If I’m trying to buy a digital PS5, I’m almost paying $ 500., Can we find some cheap, Xboxes Ooh Dude The Series S for $ 204.? We cracked the code..
It’S been years.. I’Ve been scammed on Wish on TEMU on Amazon Best Buy GameStop Walmart Target.. Have I found the promised land? Is it really VIP OUTLET Dude if this is legit? These are ridiculous. Deals..
If you go a little bit deeper and you really pay attention to some of the specs there’s, some legitimately good stuff in here, man., I’m gon na order. A bunch of stuff from VIP OUTLET and one of two things is gon na happen. I am going to A get scammed and lose all my money and receive absolutely nothing or B find some of the most dope deals ever. Or I guess 1A. I get my items and they’re in terrible condition and it wasn’t worth it. There’s only one way to find out..
So we’ve had a little bit of time to dig into VIP OUTLET, and it is only one small subsidiary of a much larger company known as goTRG.. So, unlike most platforms, that will just set a price and forget it or change it. Every few days or whatever goTRG’s platform allows the price to constantly change. Part of the reason why, on VIP OUTLET, I saw some prices change. While I literally had things in the cart. So fingers crossed that when we get all of our stuff, it may actually be legitimately great deals. Or we get scammed again., But I’m gon na just say great deals.. So we have received our item.. It’S clearly a laptop, but they’ve put it in some kind of generic black box, which I will say kudos for them to actually use proper packaging. It seems like. Yeah boy, So this is our Netbook..
Oh my good lord. Yo, it’s minty. So the fact that VIP OUTLET in the year 2023 are selling a Netbook, which is what 15 16 years old at this point, is wild to me., I’m old.
We got ourselves ethernet VGA a couple of USB 2.0 ports microphone as well as headphone jack.. On the other side, we have ourselves a Kensington lock and we have the actual power barrel, as well as a SD and a MMC card, slot. Wow., And then we have removable batteries., Which this is a 25 watt hour battery, which is tiny. Even again by those Standards of the day. – Oh, my God, I may have just pooped my pants., Just a little bit., Just a little bit.. Now, looking at the specs you’re gon na see some things that are not super strong., So we’ve got ourselves an Intel, Atom processor.
This is one of the old school Atoms designed for Windows XP.’Cause, even though a lot of Netbooks were successful in a time period where Windows, Vista existed, Vista was so hard to run that Microsoft actually continued to allow manufacturers to use Windows XP for years after Vista Had existed. Okay, so we’ve got a little charging LED. It’s coming alive. It’S alive Is everyone? Okay in the room, if I cry a little bit [ Ken ], Were you this emotional, when your son was born? No he’s not running Windows, XP so., (, everyone laughing ), So Netbooks originally were very cheap for back in their day.. I believe this was supposed to be around $ 400., But even then, like you know, for 2006 2007 a $ 400 computer was incredibly hard to come by in any kinda. Regular way., Like these were meant to be really cheap., But we got this essentially brand new and perfect for $ 120..
Oh, oh oh.! Is it gon na? Do the thing Anticipation. ( Windows, startup, sound, ), (, Austin, groaning ), Jesus., That- Whoo-hoo, You children, who are watching this video the fact that you grew up-. You grew up on an iPad. Didn’T you, I’m sorry that you didn’t have a childhood.. Are you talking to Joanna or the camera, I’m talking to the camera and the audience. Joanna, I’m sure had a wonderful childhood.. I would never talk ( beep ) about that. Zero cap. I am going to use this for at least a while.. I will definitely crumble and cave when I realize that I can’t do anything online anymore, but, like I’m so happy., I’m gon na straight use. This thing. Subscribe and ringling the dingling button for Austin’s Windows, XP Netbook adventure., VIP OUTLET, though you could not have possibly given me a better item to start this sort of unboxing out..
I am so damn happy right now.. We have actually a decent amount of padding. Here. PS, Siete.
[ Joanna ] Cinco., The PS Cinco, So I’m gon na stick to my day job.. So this is the PS5 digital edition, “, God of War, Ragnarok” fully functional Grade-B console., Oh interesting. Okay.. So these are the original accessories.
They’ve been repacked though.. I don’t believe that the DualSense comes in this sort of bag.. This controller does look minty.. It’S got a little waft of flatulence., I’m not sure how best to describe it.
As our resident flatulence expert, comes-, Okay. Okay. A little off gassy.. No, it’s pretty normal. Oh. Oops. Was that me ( everyone laughing ), PS5, “, God of War, Ragnarok” and scratch here for the pin., So I’m assuming that it actually has not been redeemed.. So as a refresher, this digital PS5 cost just under $ 370..
Although thanks to the magic of their algorithm, if you actually wanted to go, buy this on VIP OUTLET today, it’s actually 350 bucks.. So this is one of the superior PS5, 1200 models. Check out. We’Ve done a few videos, but especially “.
The new PS5 is better”. Is the one I would really recommend, because that shows what this new 1200 will do.. But I’ll say this is the model that I would much prefer.. The first damage I’ve seen at all is around the USB port..
So someone had some fun trying to plug that. In., But this looks pretty minty on the inside. – I’m not seeing really any dust on the fans either. It was very much refurbished and cleaned up or more and likely.
It was a return that someone got angry with the USB A port trying to plug it. In then go “ Mom. I want the disc version. All my friends have’Fortnite’ on disc, even though it doesn’t even exist, But wah !” That’s fairly accurate..
I think that’s what they sound like.. I’M afraid, though, that their algorithm’s so smart that as soon as I start talking about this in the video and people start going to their site, their prices are gon na start algorithmically spiking., That’s the only downside. I see right now.. So, after a quick setup process, our PS5 is operational..
My only real question now it clearly seems to work. Fine is whether or not my “, God of War” code, actually works. Code for “, God of War, Ragnarok.” Punch that code in my friends..
Whoever gets it first gets a free code to “ Ragnarok”, courtesy of VIP OUTLET.. So this, if I remember right, is our Xbox Series S.. So this is showing as a Grade-A console fully functional..
I wan na say was this 230 bucks We paid $ 204 for an Xbox Series S.. I do not know what to do with myself right now.. Can you see the look of genuine happiness and delight on my face, So some of these things have clearly been repacked, but something like this looks like it probably wasn’t touched and-. Does it have batteries No batteries inside here? So you know what That’s one thing I’m not seeing, which is very minor in the grand scheme of things.. Okay, let me just take a look to make sure it’s not all scuffed to hell. Nah dude. Nah, it’s a wrap dude.. This is so good.
Now this one is Grade-A fully functional. Boom., That is a full Series: 2 Elite controller.. So this was $ 95, but as a refresher, we purchased this not from VIP OUTLET direct but from eBay.. So we already have our paddles on the back..
We’Ve got. What is almost certainly brand new. Like there’s, no way that someone’s used this.’Cause. The thing is with this: it’s got that sort of really like kind of tacky sort of rubber grips. Use this thing for like a few hours, and it definitely is no longer new. Smells new., Oh dude.
This is mint.. Excuse me, while we interrupt this regular, scheduled programming. Right, as I saying all these nice things about this controller, we had a little discovery.. So while the controller does fully function, the right stick will sometimes get stuck..
So I think I see why someone returned this and why I will soon be testing the VIP OUTLET return. Policy’Cause. My super cool great deal of a controller doesn’t work that great.. So, with my Elite Series 2 plugged into my Series S: let’s fire it up., Just works. ( Austin applauding ): Can we get a spotlight? Please There’s been a lot of sleepless nights, a lot of tears, a lot of sniffing items that shouldn’t have been sniffed and aural bliss that just wasn’t bliss enough..
Finally, all paid off.. Thank you. Vip OUTLET. Thank you., We’re supposed to be in the middle of shooting. This video.
Everyone’s so impressed with the deals.. What are you looking at right now, This 512 gig 4th gen iPad Pro 11 inches M2 is $ 800. [ Austin ] Joanne, instead of running the camera. What are you doing right now? I’M ordering a PS5. [ Austin ] From VIP OUTLET. ( Austin laughing ), We’re not kidding.
We finally did something good, It’s taken so long. We finally did something good, We’re gon na finish this video strong with the item that kicked the entire premise of us doing. Vip OUTLET off., So this, my friends, is our Asus gaming PC, which to remind you, is Grade-A fully functional.. So we purchased this again.
It came from VIP OUTLET, but technically we purchased it off of walmart.com., And this is outfitted with an RTX 3060 which mind you. We ordered this before the 4060 came out, which is probably slightly pushing some 3060 values down, but not by that much., But this was a little bit less than $ 680. [ Ken ] Yeah. Actually, currently, it is $ 642 on the website right now.. This is not a great way to ship a PC..
This is the first time where I’m actually not massively excited about VIP OUTLET.. The fact that the PC can- – I mean you can see here even with this closed – has a little too much rattle. Especially’cause.
We do have a full, dedicated, graphics card.. I think it’s okay, but this is not great. All right. So what do we have here? Uh-Oh.
Yep.? This has gotten scratched.. You see, there’s actually some fairly deep, gouges above the ROG logo right there., Oh yeah., And look there’s a little scuff here. There’s like some sticker goo.. So the original listing actually said that this had a side panel, but instead it’s just got a metal side. Panel.. None of this is anywhere close to a deal breaker, considering how much we saved, but compared to every other item that we’ve seen here, which was damn near flawless. This has a little bit to be desired.. It’S a smaller low-profile card which is totally fine., So it actually has like a bracket which is actually connected to the motherboard and therefore to the back panel and everything right.
So this bracket here means that there’s no flex in that card., So we’ve got a 550 watt 80 plus bronze power. Supply., You can see. Manufacture date is July of 2021.. So this is a little bit of an older system..
You know it’s basically been sitting around, for I mean essentially two years now at this point. Ooh okay. [ Ken ], There’s RGB in it [ Austin ]. There is RGB, which is weird ,’cause again, there’s no window, but you’ve got a little strip. There.
Oh yeah, okay. It works.. Well that was anti-climactic..
Clearly, not every single thing you get from VIP. Outlet is going to be minty and amazingly priced, but this is still amazingly priced.. I would consider swapping out the case, especially because this one is slightly scuffed., But other than that this thing gets a big thumbs. Up. And I got ta, say VIP OUTLET, man .
