Is Jawa.gg a SCAM?

I decided to put Jawa to the test by buying both a pre-built system and parts to build my own PC. While there are some pros and cons to consider, Jawa does seem to be a legit option for PC enthusiasts on a budget.

Quick tip! Jawa staff manually assigns tags like "Value", "Mid Range", and "Pro Gamer" so if you just look at the tagged listing you'll miss a lot of great PCs that haven't been tagged yet.

"Custom painted, they painted the CPU" - Yeah, looks like a child did it!

the shipping damages on that pre built system is rough. Really goes to show postal workers give ZERO fcks about any "fragile" mention and are totally going out of their way to drop it.

Linus is Canadian but got a sponsor that only ships to the USA lol

I'll say the tldr answer from my opinion:

Scam? No.

Not a great deal option? Yes, the deals suck most of the time from sellers who don't give a shit if the used parts they're throwing together will last or not.

I dont think that prebuilt pc is worth 400 $ !

[TonyFonzerelli]

never buy a used power supply. your living quarters will thank you

[nobbyfirefly]

Of course not, they fairly charge credits for landspeeder repairs!

5:17, they even forgot to write the word "care" on it. Now they just want the delivery driver to "take of me pweez" 💀

Video hides a lot of errors, but we can still see that paint job is balls. Shame... If they'd put slightly more effort into it it might've been nice

[timberthewolf]

Scam? No.
Better than eBay? No actually.

Had a friend try and buy a 4090 on Jawa and the seller "lost it in shipping" then stopped replying.

Basically took the money and ran.... Still waiting on a response from Jawa.

Ken roasts Austin after Austin roasts Jawa. Also, Austin roasted Linus Tech Tips again after discovering that Jawa is sponsoring Linus Tech Tips.

I built a computer for around $400 with almost the same exact specs as the $700 one

Jawa has been around for a years and the community discord is amazing 😅

7:19 "custom painted" heheheheh when your bored with white out in hand.

[sogaich.]

No it is not, you can buy a ryzen 4070 from there.

[garretthibdon]

how is doing 10:34 racist? no shot we have gotten this soft... actually and genuinely sad. literally no hate or animosity in what / way he said that.

[dotxyn]

That prebuilt was rough. Aside from being a bad deal, it was packed poorly with case damage and the GPU was hangin' on for dear life. No thanks.

[SilverTester]

As consumer, we need more vids like this. Thank you

@16:04 Dude, its just the fan. you can rip a fan out of any dead power supply and swap it and no noise. Im still using my psu from 7 years ago with a replaced fan.
