He rejects a free PC from RTU who I say probably knows 100x more about PCs than Phil does. RTU streams himself so he would be one of the best people he should trust when building/getting a PC from. RTU may troll him but he seems like a big cuck for Phil so I don't see him doing that but who knows maybe he put a keylogger. Either way Phil is getting a free PC and if he was that paranoid he could wipe the HDD and reinstall Windows. But this is Phil who barely knows how to use Internet Explorer so I doubt he knows how to reinstall a OS, so I can see why he might not want the PC.
I do find it weird that he stalled so hard on why he cant accept the free PC, but landed on "its a 2017 so it probably wont last long", even though he said himself he knows nothing about PCs. He could pay for the shipping which is less than a 100 bucks and if doesn't work he would get pity bucks from his fans for being scammed by RTU. Naw, lets insult RTU who wanted to help him and say he was an idiot for talking about this on his stream which somehow creates drama and makes Phil look bad (I dont know why it would). Some people say it is because it ruined his scam of asking for money for a PC but in reality keeps the money and uses the free PC.
I have streamed myself and I have helped others stream and honestly you don't need a high end PC to do any of that. For instance, one of the computers I use to stream is a laptop specifically an Acer Nitro 5 with an Intel i5 with Nvidia GTX 1650 and it can stream at 1080p 60fps while recording footage. The laptop was about $700 and even though I cant stream well while playing games, it still runs games like Battlfield 5 and Halo multiplayer pretty smoothly.
Just get a cheap gaming laptop and it will do what you need it for and that is just streaming. Plus it being a laptop you can stream you infamous Cooking with the King with no worries of carrying a large desktop. In all honesty, he can get a cheap desktop for streaming but he thinks he needs some high end PC with a 3090 in it even though he does not play PC games nor edit videos.
