Did GN Steve ever get a passing prebuilt and recommend any?

iBuyPower

CyberPower

Origin

Dell

Wal-mart

HP

Lenovo

 

I’ve watched most of them but there are so many, did he ever find one worth recommending?

 

most of the time they joke about how THEY ended up with the ONE BAD ONE, but after watching Jayz and Linus’s videos on the same subject most of these companies just seem to ship crap products on one level or another.

 

Also while the physical issues could be chance, how Dell, iBuyPower and NZXT support treated them is definitely not just by accident.

 

So I’m just wondering what the recommended OEM’s were, did he ever go to smaller boutique builders and such?

I believe there was one from montech that got an overall passing grade.

Thanks i’ll watch that and check them out.

 

One that I was most upset to see how bad there were was Origin/Corsair, especially on Jayz with the wonky hardline tubes.

 

Is there a company that excels with hard tubing builds?

to be honest. Corsair isn't bad in the DIY space. But I assume your not gonna build it yourself so maybe DigitalStorm since their pcs aren't typically bad. But $$$

I have built my own, I just find them neat and I am interested in the whole space, either to recommend to friends or I was thinking of maybe ordering myself a hard tube watercooled build, I also like some of the company’s proprietary cases.

 

And thats what I mean why I was upset at Origin, Corsair seems to have heavily tailored to the highend DIY PC crowd as of late but if I payed $6000 for a hard tube build and received what Jay or Steve did I would be pretty upset.
