The All AliExpress PC

We constantly make videos of weird stuff we find on AliExpress, but we've never built a computer completely out of AliExpress parts. Today that changes.

Full parts list in the forum like below, but maybe just buy a PC from somewhere that will get it to you fast:

I actually like the fact that the laser etching ended up backwards.
It fits the whole theme so much better. Somehow.

The side panel being etched backwards actually adds to the "AliExpress" aesthetic.

Lifetime warranty in a nutshell:

Consumer: "Shit my RAM is broken!"

Company: * hires hitman *

[mopanda]

wouldve been fun to see you replace the parts that failed one by one til you got an actual working build. Personally really curious about the SSD and the GPU lol.

"with deer" I wish every online store had that option

I really love the idea of building a fully transparent system unit to show such beauty and value. I can only do is admire it

It's real tough to find any DRAM chips that aren't made by Micron, SK Hynix or Samsung. The DRAM market is an oligopoly, and those three companies cumulatively control over 95% of the global supply of silicon.

"Lifetime warranty"
yeah when the lifetime of the cpu ends, so does the warranty

"4 to 12 weeks to arrive”

Still better than my 3080 order

I built a PC from AliExpress 4 years ago. It was a Xeon X5670 with a Chinese mobo, ddr3 ram and a GTX 960 (legit). Probably less than 350$ the entire set-up. Still working great 👍

I had one of these wacky clear cases once. It was probably a lot different than this because this was back in like 2010 or so. It was my first ever gaming pc, my friend and his dad were super into it and they were nice enough to give me some extra use able parts they had and help me find all the right parts and build my pc. They had this clear acrylic case, it was huge and super heavy but we had blue led set up in there and it actually looked pretty sick for back then. It was also a total tank, no wobble at all. It was actually a very good case. I have no clue where the thing came from, there was no branding or anything like that on it. One day I wanna find a good quality clear case again and build an homage to that first rig

That power supply won't work in Canada because Canada uses 120 V mains. The sticker at 9:27 says it needs at least 170 V.

1:40 “It looked AliExpressy” lmao, that’s the nee insult for ugly and cheap

[foresttaylor]

That little music video blip was a stroke of genius. Almost made me want this damn thing

This looks like the 8 year old PC standing in the store window of an old store in your small town selling weird cell phone plans and pc repair

The laser etching is secret genius, the RGBs would project that cursed Linus meme onto a wall because it being flipped

[sykoteddy]

To be fair, the mouse pad without RGB I own and it holds up very well in quality. No threads undone yet after 14 months. Also I washed it in the sink with dish washing soap after I soaked it with beer and even got stains removed and still it is in great condition. So the mouse pad without RGB I highly recommend. UPDATE: Someone just recently liked my comment so it reminded me to make an update about the mouse pad. It's not a major problem, but the stitching around the mouse pad is starting and ending right at the middle on the right side, which is exactly where my mouse hand ends up sometimes. It's kind of annoying and I'm afraid that it some day will get undone. The upper outer edge would have been a lot better place to start and end it. Just something for others wanting to buy one, to think about.

[akajry]

lmao, the laser etching being the wrong way just makes this MORE ali express if anything

[nathanbasset]

GPU: starts to pull

Power supply: “my time has come”
