Rent-a-PC ?

[MeatLoaf]

I remember years ago when i turned 18 i rented my first PC from radio rentals.

Olivetti Pentium 75.

In the end i worked out it would be cheaper to get a bank loan and build a system myself, even back then.

So in the end i retuend the olivetti unit and built myself a system with a Pentium 133 ( later upgraded to a 200MMX ) with a CDROM and 4Mb RAM. Cant remember what it cost but o dod remember the loan was for 2K!

I am more than happy to rent out my heavily overclocked 10980XE, £600 PCM as it also doubles as a room heater, electricity bills to be covered by the renter. Any takers?

Not a good deal at all...

The company's also tried to clear up some misconceptions.

Doesn’t surprise me they’ve been called out on it… also that they haven’t really changed anything about the scheme itself after the GN video.

Certainly won’t be buying any NZXT products, it became clear they don’t care about their customers

i could see a use for this kind of... you can rent for just one month at a time its not a 12 or 24 contract.
so fort party's and holiday homes like yer... but at $119(+$50) for the basic option its a no unless you mad at your money and wont to just get rid

 

[Yaayuh!]

This is all you really need to know about it. It's atrocious.

You’ll own nothing and be happy.

Outrageous

 

[Drumroll]

It’s only worth if you’re planning on use a fake name and nick it.

Apparently they won’t run proper checks.

If that becomes a trend, soon Facebook market will have loads of them cheap.

You have to remember not every one can get credit… it like the new fad for renting a phone.
The credit requirements are much lower. There praying on the poor as with everything now days…. If you can’t afford to buy you can rent for x2

 

[Mockingbird]

Just shockingly bad. I cannot imagine who will go for this. Who is cash rich, credit poor and can't Google prices?

I think that's the worst thing about this nzxt "deal" - it was very obviously aimed at people with bad credit or even underage with the way they were having influencers push it.

its becoming the norm to rent everything and have everything on a subscription.
there is literally nothing you cant rent now days, some people have everything but own nothing.
