[358.30 --> 359.20] If I recall correctly.
[359.28 --> 360.04] Was it 680?
[360.34 --> 361.44] You know, don't quote me on that.
[361.56 --> 364.00] I think it's 680, but don't quote me on that.
[364.06 --> 366.12] Anyway, it was the Striker Extreme.
[366.30 --> 367.44] Don't remember what the chipset was.
[368.20 --> 372.32] And our RMA rate on that at NCIX was like 40%.
[372.32 --> 373.48] Yeah.
[373.60 --> 374.20] For a motherboard.
[374.20 --> 378.64] And it was like a $450 or $500 motherboard or something stupid like that.
[378.74 --> 379.40] I can bring it.
[379.44 --> 379.56] Yeah.
[379.64 --> 380.78] I should bring up the picture.
[381.16 --> 382.74] So, Striker Extreme.
[382.88 --> 383.32] Oh, jeez.
[383.32 --> 383.38] Here we go.
[383.38 --> 383.52] Oh, jeez.
[383.76 --> 385.20] I'll screen share with you guys here.
[385.20 --> 387.08] Look at this.
[387.14 --> 387.50] Look at this.
[387.68 --> 388.12] TweakTown.
[388.24 --> 389.00] TweakTown review.
[389.46 --> 390.80] Not one star.
[392.08 --> 392.90] One star.
[393.02 --> 394.96] This board was that bad.
[395.18 --> 395.46] Wow.
[395.52 --> 396.04] Well, yeah, it was.
[396.12 --> 397.90] Enforce 680i SLI.
[398.06 --> 398.26] Yeah.
[398.26 --> 402.68] And it just, I don't know what memory it did work with.
[403.78 --> 406.62] Because you could put random memory in it.
[406.86 --> 408.66] You could put generic memory in it.
[408.70 --> 410.48] You could put high-end memory in it.
[410.52 --> 412.64] You could put SLI certified memory.
[412.78 --> 413.92] That was a thing for a bit there.
[414.22 --> 416.76] And the idea was that it was certified for NVIDIA chips.
[416.82 --> 418.24] You could put anything in this board.
[418.24 --> 420.64] And then you could roll a die.
[420.84 --> 424.06] Pray to whatever gods it is that you believe in.
[424.46 --> 426.88] And turn around six times in a circle.
[427.34 --> 429.50] And, you know, go like this.
[429.98 --> 432.54] And none of it would affect anything.
[432.64 --> 433.08] It might work.
[433.12 --> 433.56] It might not.
[434.16 --> 436.06] It was an awful, awful motherboard.
[436.20 --> 438.46] But they've really turned that around.
[438.66 --> 439.48] They've really turned that around.
[439.64 --> 440.06] Which is good.
[440.06 --> 440.54] Good job, guys.
[440.54 --> 441.00] Good for them.
[441.06 --> 442.00] Good for gamers.
[442.08 --> 445.56] Anyway, back to the OP line of gaming desktops from Walmart.
[445.56 --> 450.46] The DTW1 is the entry-level model with a Core i7-8700, 16 gigs of memory.
[450.58 --> 453.88] An NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070, 256 gigs of solid-state storage.
[454.04 --> 455.84] And a 2TB hard drive for $1,399.
[456.00 --> 457.52] That's actually not that bad.
[457.74 --> 457.96] Yeah.
[458.64 --> 460.34] Honestly, that was my first thought when I looked at this.
[460.40 --> 462.10] It was like, oh, that's...
[462.10 --> 462.36] Oh.
[464.26 --> 465.52] Should we review it?
[467.02 --> 467.42] Yeah.
[468.26 --> 470.14] I was kind of asking them, but sure.
[470.36 --> 470.58] Yes.
[470.70 --> 470.82] Whatever.
[470.82 --> 471.50] Should we review it?
[471.50 --> 471.72] Yeah.
[471.98 --> 472.24] Yeah?
[472.74 --> 474.06] The Walmart gaming computer.
[474.06 --> 475.90] I would be very interested as a consumer.
[476.12 --> 476.34] Yeah.
[476.50 --> 478.68] Because it seems like a decent price, whatever, whatever.
[478.78 --> 478.96] Sure.
[479.06 --> 483.04] But my techie consumer brain is like, what memory is that?
[483.60 --> 484.58] What board is that?
[484.64 --> 485.54] What drive is that?
[485.66 --> 486.44] All that kind of stuff.
[486.64 --> 490.38] Because from what I can tell, Walmart has no experience.
[490.42 --> 490.72] No.
[491.14 --> 491.58] Whatsoever.
[492.00 --> 493.14] So it seems...
[493.14 --> 493.62] Okay, look.
[493.70 --> 493.82] Okay.
[494.20 --> 497.76] To me, building a gaming computer is a pretty straightforward thing.
[497.82 --> 499.34] I could literally do it blindfolded.
[499.46 --> 499.60] Yeah.
[499.60 --> 504.20] But there's people who haven't been living and breathing it for the last decade.
[504.42 --> 504.64] Yeah.
[504.64 --> 506.08] There's a lot that they can screw up.
[506.30 --> 507.22] The headers are complicated.
[507.82 --> 508.58] So I...
[508.58 --> 510.00] And then, like, cable management.
[510.32 --> 511.78] And, like, you know, little things.
[511.88 --> 517.40] Like, you know, putting the drives in a cage that doesn't have a cooling fan next to it.
[517.46 --> 517.64] Yeah.
[517.72 --> 518.84] So that it'll run hotter.
[518.90 --> 523.14] And it's not going to kill it immediately, but it's just, like, little things you can do to optimize the system.
[523.14 --> 529.56] And I would want to see, does Walmart have the gaming know-how to do this correctly?
[530.34 --> 530.66] Okay.
[530.78 --> 531.26] You know what?

[358.30 --> 359.20] If I recall correctly.

[359.28 --> 360.04] Was it 680?
