he said to me he’s had his pc for a couple years now but he never plugged his case fans in. i was telling him that it probably isn’t that difficult and was willing to help him. he obliged and said he didn’t even know what the connector was since it was his brother and his dad that picked his parts and built the computer, and his brother rage quit plugging in the fans. so I asked him for some pictures. there is so much to unpack here.
1: it looks like his motherboard is mini-itx, which is strange since his case supports up to e-atx.
2: i mean, cables. cables everywhere.
3: that sata cable at the bottom is apparently his fan connector, according to him, but he said his brother was trying to plug it into his motherboard.
4: the rgb on the case fans is the only thing they bothered plugging in.
5: why would you buy an all-white cpu cooler when the rest of the pc is black?
6: his “$4000” pc has a 3060 in it. so he overpaid massively for that during the shortage.
7: dust, but that’s kinda excusable compared to everything else.
i seriously don’t know what his brother was smoking when he built his pc, but dear god.

This makes the verge look creditable.
i think the cooler is a new form of sun from the first pic
cooler lookin like an untextured game asset
That CPU cooler is brighter than my future
I think I saw $3600 stuffed in one of those slots.
His brother was smoking the best hash after getting $4k to build a $500 PC.
Man I need what that brother was smoking
Flash bang
Thanks for the money chump it allowed me to purchase a 4090 on launch
Does your friends’ brother collect airsoft guns and Yu-gi-oh cards too?
Da hell that is janky as hell
He means $400?
Even my 7800x3d+7900xtx didn’t cost 4000
This should’ve been tagged NSFMR
Nothing says “I don’t give a fuck anymore” like your friends pc attempt
My 2.5k (aussie dollar) pc is beautiful in comparison to this 😳 its also got an rtx 4070.
This guy must never clean his pc and why does he touch the front of it so much? Absolutely grubby.
lol I just got a 4070ti super computer for under 3 grand from Xidax looks way better than that

Maybe he meant $400?
Maybe 4000 pesos
Even during the shortage you could just buy a prebuilt at a much more reasonable price than $4k for a 3060, would have been like $1500
But a fool and their money are easily parted.
Whatever you do don’t shine a black light on that case
This makes me want to physically hurt someone
The cooler is bigger than the mobo! Probably bad paste job and xmp not enabled but that cable management is the worst.
Maybe it was a typo, maybe he meant to put $400
I thought its venom snake sitting on that helicopter
bro hasn’t unlocked the cooler yet

This is my PC, roughly $3000 spent. Most of it is because of the corsair stuff. Your friend is on something
He was smoking meth, you can still see some crystals among the dust, some say, legend has it, if you plug in the fans, the whine sounds like Walter White, saying “Jessie”…
What ? No CD ROM ? Where’s the HDD ? Such a rip off.
that cpu cooler is a physical manifestation of tinnitus…
Even during Covid this was never a $200 pc
Seems worth it price
Is…is that an ITX MB in an ATX case?!?
This looks like it was built by someone who was h##h on both m#####one and P#P. Don’t ask me how I know that.
I massively overpaid for a 3060 during the mining boom but I paid for it and then some by mining on it, along with several other GPUs. It is now my primary and only recent GPU if the two PCs I built sell. My friend and business partner got the 3070. We had a 3080 at one point but sold it to buy two 5700XTs, which probably sounds dumb to someone who hasn’t mined but the two 5700XTs made slightly better hashrate than the 3080 at like 2/3 of the power draw.
Anyway, I don’t call my current 5600X/3060 gaming PC a “$2000” gaming PC, regardless of what I originally paid for the parts during the mining boom. And your friend overpaid on an entirely different level. I paid around a grand for the 3060. Now the thing is worth about $6-700 on a good day parted out on eBay, though I think it is still over a grand as a new build even in 2024.
The fans are corsair and most likely they plugged the fan module the wrong way or didn’t plug in the power and sata cable. Tell your friend or look for corsair module install
Not even that, it’s an MSI Mech. That’s like the cheapest 3060 you can get
I spent less than $4k on my PC with a 4090 lol and I went overkill on a few parts
I don’t think the sun can cool a computer
Holy fuck I thought the cooler was just a censoring by a phone apps’ white pen
Just… Woof.
This has about every sign of a newbie trying to build a computer with not enough guidance. Easy fixes though. More appropriate case size (smaller), ATX motherboard, plugging stuff in properly, cable management, better GPU, etc.
Dear god some people have more money than sense. A 4090 PC doesn’t even cost 4K these days.
He would have been much better off with a prebuilt in every sense of the way. Even a bad prebuilt would have been better than this.
The cherry on top for me is the USB half plugged in, perfection right there.
4k for this?! Mine cost like 600 and looks like a monster compared to this *we have high end gaming PC at home* PC
Did they stuff $3000 in the PSU basement?
$4k? You sure he didn’t mean 400?
