- It's been a while since I've come across a computer that had as much history as this one did. I'm very grateful for the chance to have this in my possession, I felt like I was able to meet someone that I unfortunately wasn't able to know in this life time.
I hope you all found my presentation of this purchase as respectable as possible, I tried my best to do right by the original owner and if I did something wrong, know that it wasn't done intentionally and that this experience was completely new to me and that I didn't walk into this intentionally for content purposes or anything of that nature.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the story as well as the computer.
Part list below for anyone interested in recreating this PC:
i7 4770K CPU:
amzn.to/2LbQ2ZG
(Similar to actual)
Corsair H115i Cooler:
amzn.to/2Pz0xqi

Can't believe the lack of people not commenting on how much of a damn _sweetheart_ the father is, what a guy!
Facts.
True true
how is he a sweetheart? dafuk he just sold him his sons rig thats it or do you mean he already promised some other dude the system but sold it to him? idk man i would be really mad if i was the other dude
I made this comment have exactly 1000 likes!
@Straw Hat You'd use a dead relatives computer? That is *so* much creepier than selling off their belongings like most normal people do.
i can almost feel the dad trying to hold his tears when selling the rig, i think he would do anything to get his son back
The poor guy. Really hope he's doing ok now.
that mouse cost more than my whole setup..
300?
There is the comment I was looking for.
it costs more that my setup, smartphone and internet lol
@Lucas • 69 years ago. . Moto G6 plus. it's literally like 10 times the cost of my laptop since I have a 2008-ish VAIO

Sell it because he was sad
This dude's build is almost completely identical to mine, even including the same keyboard and monitor. I built it 5ish years ago and still use it to this day, that's crazy.
@50 subs with no vids ? that monitor _is_ 144hz tho...
Can you tell me what that case is?
a deceased gamer’s pc has been passed to another gamer, the bloodline shall flow.
That would be known as a GOD GAMING PC back in 2012-2013
It really would tho my mans was man of class
The Weeb Of Memes it still is tho I mean there’s way better parts now but that beast could run a lot of games
@@whitebeano6139 I mean the CPU isn't the best.
It was a pretty decent setup for the time for sure. I rocked an i7 3770k @ 4.6ghz with a MSI 770. The only thing that really killed the 770 was the Vram. If you had the 2GB model like I did, it was pretty limited shortly in time. The 4GB model had far better future compatibility and I know some people at my work still using the 4gb 770 still.
i think it could run smooth many game nowaday too. If you dont want max setting

@@darn_8869 lol
Yeah I would have at least offered him 900 by the sounds off things he still would have made a high profit
My mood completely dropped when i heard the true reason behind him selling his son's computer. No parent should bury their child. Thinking back about it, it was probably for the best to sell this computer. When you are a parent who recently had to bury their kid and you wake up every morning to see his favorite item sitting there taking dust and dying, it is probably very painful and sad. This is definitely a great choice from the parents. Because now, they not only gave this computer to someone who might need it, but the legacy of their son would continue and it would be cleaned, taken care of and upgraded over the years. That said... May a fellow gamer rest in peace and I wish his parents the best of luck. And kristofer, if you think that you won't use this computer, or your interest has died out in it, please sell it. Don't let it take dust like it was. This may be a dead, unconscious and old item, but this item has a story and it has character and probably should not be left out of life.
MA'AM GIVE THIS GUY LIKE 10K LIKES ON THIS COMMENT, I APPRECIATE THE WORK ON THS COMMENT
I'm actually tearing up
@@liam_7017 me too man :(
we salute this fellow e p i c gamer who has passed. May you be no scoping in heaven.
I am glad people agree. After all whoever this kid was, he was a person, he was a part of this community. He was a breathing, thinking and probably a great individual seeing how his father's voice trembled and stuttered when he mentioned his passing. I am in no way shape or form trying to get likes or attention, i just wanted this comment to be seen by kris, because knowing him, he could probably buy whatever pc he needs. but seeing this video, this isnt an ordinary pc. It's a big part of the community now, it belonged to someone who was once a great player you or i played with and enjoyed his presence. You never know. I want to make sure this pc will never see quite and loneliness in its entire life, i want this pc to live up to what it was made for and i want it where it could feel comfortable. Because thats what the original owner wouldve wanted and thats what we as a community, should provide.
The gamer dies, but the PC will live on!
Long live the gamer

Holy shit that computer looks like a god damn monster.
Tbh you should've really told the dad that the computer would cost more than $450.

Think it’s best it went to you, someone who could appreciate it and it’s kinda nice you where able to kinda meet him. I like the story thank you.
Tbh. I would've told him he could've gotten way more then 450$...
I would’ve done that or bought it sold it for max price it can and give it to the guy
BeePee yea but he took advantage of the fathers lack of knowledge of computers so could have atleast gave a little more than asked
I mean not by much, and he probably wanted to get rid of it more than anything
BeePee hmmm I wonder maybe because he said the he could get around 700 and bought it for 450
I think $450 was fine considering that he was willing to search through all the files for anything valuble for the parents. Its better him recieving it than someone else who would just end up wiping the whole thing without checking.
Rip to the brother that lost his life last year.

knows he had large responses because of the price and good deal it carries and he says there's a gaming craze lol this guy

@@towtruckaj ? It wasn't a joke, it's a legit response
Cruzredeye how mean
Damn man, you made me cry... that's a first for a youtube vid.
I lost my dad ~8 months ago. We first started gaming together on atari
2600 and continued on every console until I bought my first computer
from Gateway (:D) to play Diablo II and Everquest. He had some Compaq el
cheapo that he Frankensteined enough to play. Once when he called
Verant for tech support, they literally told him there was no way he was
playing on that system :). We raided hardcore, and f'd off in general
for the next 15 or so years in numerous games and on multiple comp
builds. Those memories are as real as anything we did IRL. And we did a
lot together; we were best friends.
Wow, anyway, that's gonna get long. His most recent build is probably
about 5 years old but he still played on it every day, until he
couldn't. The brain tumor took out his mouse hand first.
I've kept windows/drivers updated so mom can use it as a HTPC, but I
still haven't made myself log into his accounts to update p/w, guild
upkeep, etc. As far as i'm concerned, it can sit on his desk forever. ..
Yea, yea, I will get around to that.
I miss you Orrlok .. but don't really miss draggin your stinky troll corpse :D
[Lol, can't believe I'm gonna post this to a youtube video comment. I'm not
doing it to garner likes. Idgaf about likes, just seemed like the
atmosphere was right to share about fallen comrade gamers. Regardless
of whether they are family or extended family through experiences we
share in games, there is a sense of belonging and brotherhood that is
real and tangible. /salute]

Revisiting this 5 years later, I still cannot believe how bad the scammers in the gaming community have been stateside the last 5 or 6 years. It is not just individuals, the companies as well, especially Nvidia. I am very fortunate to work in tech and have never paid more than £200 for any gpu and I have never had anything but the latest in my work rigs and my personal rigs always get my work hand me downs. The only times I turned down free cards were the Nvidia 2080 and now the 4090 (went for the the RX 7950 xtx to keep from burning my home down.)
I am beside myself how much cards went for pre covid and during. A 1080 ti for $700 5 years ago says something about scalpers and flippers.
That was a superb buy you got on the rig. Never pay for windows- rule 1 of people that actually know about their computer.
Omg, this dad is a sweetheart.
I lowkey thought he was gonna give the dad more money :(
PlantsFN yea I can’t believe he didn’t tho
He did give 50 more his original was 400
No , his original was 450$ and someone offered 400$ to pick it up in hour, he offered full 450$ to get it that moment.
Have u even seen part 2? lol

I am sorry but I would have paid double of his asking price.
Edit.. I just watched part two.. and I apologize. You did the right thing man.

Mr.SunnyD definitely not that much but yeah
Mr.SunnyD he had no control how the video would do? What if it got demonetized. He had no control over that!
I haven't watched part 2 yet, but based off part one, I'd say your post, rather than some kind of ghoulish scavenging, was actually a really nice sort of memorial to a gamer that put together a really kick ass system.
I've been gaming on a really old Dell Inspiron one 2020 for years and it's driving me insane man you have no idea how lucky you are too have found this I actually am going to start looking for offers like this as well!

*Probably because of a gaming craze going on*
yea lowball price is a craze
Lmao I noticed that as well
Right instead of telling him he's got a lot more valuable stuff there tight. Creepy
Instead of saying that the PC is worth much more
@@Milan-qu5ut As it sits as a system that is not a horrible price bought essentially the same tower in April 2018 from the guy who built it for 400. (Not quite as nice of a case no monitor, keyboard or mouse)
Thing is that an older used system as a system isn't worth it's components prices parted out.
People want the parts to do things like sli, replace their motherboard that lost a capacitor and/or max their ram slots, with matched brand and speed. I Don't know exactly what keyboard and mouse or monitor that is but the monitor as long as it's bigger than a 20 inch works and has only a very few stuck pixels can expect to go for 50 to 75% of retail. The keyboard and mouse is really hit and miss a handful of models end up being what everyone loves and are valuable the rest are basically $5 to $10. So while I think $450 is kinda lower end (because someone can part it out and probably get $650-$750) as a system I would personally take a system like that ask $600 and accept the first solid $400+ offer in hand on Craigslist or Marketplace.
I stand corrected, when I watched the first vid, was very disappointed but in the end you did much more than I would do. Very cool! good work! you did right!

And the parent thought it was all in reality 10 years old and was asking only $300. I turned the computer on while I was there, everything including the dual 24" screens worked. I didn't react to what i saw in device manger which also said it had an SSD raid of sorts and another raid of platter drives. I mentioned to the seller however that there was a couple upgrades but didn't make any sort of assessment. After I got it home, it had 2 512 gig ssd's in raid 0 which at the time were worth almost $1300 each and it also had another WD black 4tb drive, and a 4 drive raid 6 with all wd 4tb red drives and hardware raid card. A sound board which the name of fails me at the moment, and was loaded with as much ram as it could hold. The parent thought they wiped everything off of it, but the raid 6 was still intact, and on it had a lot of pictures and other video's.
I opted to not flip this computer, and I gave it to my own son who is 13, as he was also saving to build his own dream computer. And the two of us decided that they deserved to get more for this machine. My son had about $1000 saved up and insisted on giving it to the parents I took my son, and we drove right back to their house. They asked me if everything was ok, and we told them all that we found in it, and thought they should get more for it. I also opted to take an extra 500 of my money because even at $1800 I was still getting a steal. The computer even used was worth quite a lot more. They were impressed and quite taken aback at what we said, and the mother was almost in tears. They both however insisted that it was not necessary. And instead expressed that it was going to someone who was going to appreciate it. And asked that we instead donate the money to the charity who supported their son before he died. So that is what we did. I also will say my son didn't hesitate.
My son still uses it as it is and I took the raid 6 out to use myself. And I am quite happy at the good life lesson this also taught my son. As he has grown he has become one who doesn't hesitate to do what is right and help others in need. I instead purchased a few other things that week to flip, none with that kind of impact on us.
If you could write this without chopping onions, that'd be great. I admire your actions and even more so how you are raising your son, keep that up and I wish you both all the best! But next time, no onions, they almost got to me.
@@Swooshpragler Thankyou, i will next time. It was almost choking me up writing about it. At the time I promised my kid I would pay for half of the cost of a computer he wanted, and we would build it together. So he could have easily just sat on his money. I did completely disassemble it to clean out all the dust and what not, and more than what I would normally do. As it was used to teach my son how building a computer is done. He did everything while putting it all back together, I only stood behind him sipping beer and giving instruction. So it has made him appriciate the computer all the more. He cleans it out ever few months of dust and what not, makes sure the water loop is maintained... Its awesome.
His little brother on the other hand is a bit different lol
Merry christmas to you.
wishus knight I’m not reading this it’s 2 much reading
@@Azzy5k He was in a similar situation as this video. got an amazing PC for a steal. his son decided theyd go back to give the seller more money. they had a lovely moment with the departed's mother. wishus knight's a good dad. I'm glad he shared it. It's a nice story. In the end all we are is a collection of stories. I get it though everyone online assaults the attention span.
I feel like it must have been cool to look through someone’s computer that passed away and see what their interests were and meet them through what they left behind
i felt so sad for his dad, bro, legends never die
Anyone else concerned that the mouse listed in the begining cost $345 on amazon 🤔
where?
amazon is a scam. ofcourse not really, but there are a lot of stuff there that are listed way to expensive. Steam link for example is a small machine that costs like 60 bucks on steam. it costs like 70-100 on amazon. like how?
@@jonavanscorea9208 who dafq would pay 60 on steam link,. dafq? i payd 70 cents on a steam sale and had to pay 16 dollars for the delivery lol :))
@@georgeg9225 yeah, there was a crazy sale that made them cheap skeep. I missed that unfortunately. But they were originally 60.
@@jonavanscorea9208 im waiting for a steam controller now under 25 :)))
Hey man I enjoyed this video, and definitely was different. Rest In Peace, seemed like a cool person
I expected a angry dad grounding his son and selling his computer out of punishment. Came out with a heart warming story and a very sad passing. RIP my brother
