Support NeoGAF

i dont know, but the next time you want waste $1500 i can send you my paypal and i promise to send you some goods from Brazil.

 

[BlackTron]

Well if you know better, dont open a thread about it and whine about your amazon pruchases going south.

So the most likely outcomes are A) get a $3500 PC for $1500 or B) Amazon refunds the money because they are so huge and big everyone knows how their customer support works.

Small possibility for C) Sends a gimped PC with less RAM, that Amazon still refunds because it's the wrong item. Free PC.

I don't know better than to do this, why is it a bad idea?

OP is just sharing the journey, not whining about anything.

Since we're sharing stories, I ordered an LG ultrawide monitor from Amazon some years back.

Was supposed to be a Christmas gift and I ordered early enough for it to arrive on time.

The shipment was botched so bad I got it 3 weeks later.

I complained to Amazon that they ruined Christmas and argued enough about Prime shipping being false advertising and i could have bought it elsewhere and that i was a long time customer and spent a lot of money with them (all true by the way), that they let me keep it for free. At the time it was $700 or something.

Amazon can be pretty cool sometimes.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Not much online about it.

 

[Roman Empire]

OP as the seller is coming personally to deliver his package:

 

[Shogmaster]

Not much online about it.

One I ordered was low volume enough that no one got a sample to review. Read that it was meant to be Corsair OEM build, but came too late.

My guess is that I might have bought one of the last remaining stock of this particular 395 model before ODMs all switch production to Gorgon Halo chips (495+).

 

[Rivdoric]

SMELL the package before OPENING it.

Sound advice. Speaking of which, I should prolly bring a stethoscope too...

And a Geiger counter.

Don't order shit directly from China....especially a 3rd party vendor.

 

[Zacfoldor]

You'll get a 128MB Brix Galo pini MC

That's not AI, that pic is from 2017.

 

[nush]

A low spec PC loaded with viruses and malware that spreads to every device connected to your network.

 

[Mokus]

Shit, that's actually worth something, no?

It's illegal to sell it so I guess, on the black market, a brick collector will pay for it handsomely.

 

[Shogmaster]

I ordered from Amazon. Its Amazon's problem if something goes wrong.

 

[twilo99]

You trying to run local AI models?

 

[Shogmaster]

I was looking something with decent CPU and 32GB of RAM to run Clip Studio Paint at decent res. This thing is will be a ridiculous overkill. IF I actually get it.

Not 3rd party. They will tell you to get with them.

 

[seb85]

The fact that the seller got delisted means you got scammed

 

[Shogmaster]

Not 3rd party. They will tell you to get with them.

LOL no. I posted their email about refund in the OP brah.

 

[peish]

AIFUT? LUNTHINK?

[Shogmaster]

The box reveal will be EPIC

 

[simpatico]

This would be the greatest value in PC history man. I hope you get it.

 

[Kamina]

It's probably a dud or some knockoff.

 

[CrustyBritches]

6 reviews? Yikes.

 

[Paasei]

 

[Durin]

I would record unboxing video, show untempered seal etc etc - incase there are bags of rice in there or something. I keep doing that with all the expensive items lately.

Yep, any kind of proof you can provide for your case the better. Just record yourself opening the sealed shipping box Shogmaster , with the bar code and info on the sticker on the outside of the box.

 

[Thebonehead]

 

[MrA]

This is hilarious. I do hope you get your device but a bit late, plus a refund from Amazon for the fun of it.

Kind of like the great gamestop buy one get one free series s debacle of 2021?

 

[ahtlas7]

What's in the box?

Pain!

 

[Sticks]

What's in the box?

Pain!

 

[Kamina]

So what's the delivery status?

 

[Drew1440]

Don't be so negative, it has four and a half stars in reviews.

 

[Shogmaster]

So what's the delivery status?

Still stuck in HK export warehouse. Since 19th.

But delivery was estimated for June 5th to 15th so right on schedule? LOLZ

 

[Shogmaster]

That's 3 more stars than I was rated by my ex, so...

[coffinbirth]

Didn't know you could diy mini PCs!

The more you know...

I mean, you can?
DIY NUC kits have been a thing since mini pcs have been a thing.
Also, getting one of these chinese prebuilts will almost certainly have soldered RAM...and not be a thing you would EVER want to log your real credentials into or attach to a network.

Every Strix Halo product has soldered on RAM by design so...

 

[Sethbacca]

Not 3rd party. They will tell you to get with them.

Amazon has A to Z guarantee for stuff sold on 3rd parties through their site. I've never had a single issue getting a refund for 3rd party fuckups.

 

[coffinbirth]

Ah, yes,that's true...but so are the other things that I said.
The DIY boards for Strix Halo 128GB DO exist.

 

[Shogmaster]

That Frameworks board is more than what I paid for for this entire computer lol

[EDIT] HOLY FUCKING SHIT THEY BE CRAY CRAY! $2850 for just the damn board, SoC and RAM!

 

[Tobimacoss]

Holy crap, you might actually get this thing.

 

[Shogmaster]

Holy crap, you might actually get this thing.

But what exactly is that thing? LOL

 

[BennyBlanco]

Holy crap, you might actually get this thing.

I remember buying a DS for like $30 off eBay from China under the same circumstances as OP where the seller disappeared and they shipped me some weird Chinese coins

 

[Ribi]

Enjoy your pre built HP with a soldered on motherboard

 

[Shogmaster]

OMG OMG OMG OMG
