I can see where he's coming from, I did the same thing. I will build the next one myself for sure, but I had the current one built by NCIX guys purely because of the 50$ included a 1 year warranty. If I had done it myself, and anything blew up, I'd have to go through the warranty processes from each manufacturer myself, not really worth the hassle.

I like Joe, i also like the look of that PC (just not in that colour) - but good grief at stacking his consoles, he really needs to change that..
Pretty much, you just put it in a corner or under a desk and never really look at it again anyway.

I'd happily get it for free, like AJ probably did.

Keep in mind that it's DDR4, not 3.

Some of these comments. Man oh man.
I just read the whole thread.
I think we will need bigger salt mountains.

He says he was getting a ton of questions from his fans about it so he explained in detail what the specs are for his setup. He was also thanking all of his fans for getting him to where he is today.
If you're doing video production, 32gb of RAM isn't a ton. Hell, my laptop has 32gb.

I know. Now that I look at it the price the price difference is a bit bigger than expected. Still, there are worse things to spend your money on. 32 GB is not outrageous for video editing.
Jesus Christ this thread reeks of salt and Hatorade and it's clear 99% of people haven't watched the video where most of the concerns are addressed.
1.) He payed for the computer out of his pocket, it is not a sponsored gift. He did get a 10% discount but that's because he still has ties to Dell which was his former place of employment.
2.) He bought and Alienware because prior to starting the AJS he used to work for Dell and is still loyal to them. He also mentions that when he was working for Dell and finished his duties he would plan AJS episodes while at work so this is sort of giving back the the company that somewhat helped make his YouTube channel.
3.) He needs 980 SLI and the 6-core processor to render his videos. CUDA cored help out in Sony Vegas Pro. 32GBs of DDR4 because he renders videos on his computer. He also plays a lot of PC games so the horsepower helps him there too.
As for his console setup.....I'm not going to defend that lol. Also, I would refrain from personal attacks because Joe has a GAF account and personal attacks are bannable last time I checked.

"Triple NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 980 graphics with 12GB total GDDR5 (3x 4GB) GDDR5 -NVIDIA SLI® Enabled"
"Dual NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 770 graphics with 4GB total (2x 2GB) GDDR5"
This is hilarious. How is this legal?

The only thing disappointing about the video is that I didn't get to see his new rig. Just saw the monitors, that horrible TV, and that big black and red dehumidifier on his desk.
Good for him if he got stuff for free or a discount, not sure why people are upset, and, he did get a discount for his viewers at least.
That said, it sounds like he didn't "build" a thing. Clicking boxes on a website, having it come to you assembled doesn't mean you "built" something. I didn't "build" my new car for example, I picked options added on the factory floor/receiving dock/dealership.
He should have "built" a rig himself. For YouTube cred yo.

He did show the inside of the PC. Did we watch the same video?

Pretty much this.
He said in the video that he chose not to build his own pc

Kinda silly to lay that on the PC given that Rage has known issues.
Also streaming at 1080p 60fps at a bitrate that offended Twitch from the same PC probably didn't help.
That went straight over your head.

Go look in the PC OT. People put their shit on display like art. I would imagine they are the ones commenting on the looks of the case. Personally I don't know anyone that gives a fuck what their case looks like.
Functionality is all that matter to me.

A ton of youtubers do set up videos. Almost every tech/gaming person I follow does it.
Exactly. It's so easy that you're just lazy and wasting money when you buy pre-built.

Uh, is stacking consoles like that a good idea?
Why are you hating so much?

No, not at all - more so in the case of the Xbox One having its top vents covered up via the PS4.
Why are you insulting him, man?
EDIT: hah check the first page, man. Lots of grey names.

That ugly tower has good airflow and it's easy to upgrade. Looks aren't even in the top five most important things for a gaming PC. Maybe not even the top 10. I would trade my rig for that one in a heartbeat.

Guys GTX 980 8gb???
As bad as eating pizza with knife and fork in New York. Wow at the first page, all those grey.
Chill
I believe we haven't see the end of it, but holy shit going back to the first page, all those brave sailors drowned in the sea of salt...
Yeah, a PC tower doesn't have to sit on top of your desk if you dislike the way it looks. I only care about the color of my consoles (mostly if it's ugly white) because they're sitting on my TV stand where everything else is black. I'd stick Angry Joe's PC right next to the stand near my front speaker. How 'bout it, Angry Joe? I can has?
