00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:06.219
easy

00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:27.119
dude a Pacers as720 is a dual interface

00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:31.439
SSD with a USB 3.1 type-c connector rated at up to 540 mb per second read

00:00:29.759 --> 00:00:35.480
speed check out the link in the video description to learn more Welcome

00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:38.559
Friends to free geek Vancouver we got a couple of videos planned here but for

00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:44.680
this first one we're going to be taking you guys on a tour of what it looks like

00:00:41.879 --> 00:00:50.920
where they reduce reuse rebuild recycle and resell resell computers electronics

00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:56.960
and like they have everything here I got like 2.4 GHz a 2.11 b Wireless I got a

00:00:54.680 --> 00:01:03.280
Sony wman amfm TV is that a jam boox this thing was

00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:08.640
never any good a whole bin of circuit boards woo cuz why not so let's have a

00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:12.000
look around first off we have the Data Destruction station so this thing I

00:01:10.759 --> 00:01:14.920
don't actually know what this is called probably just a press I don't know it

00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:19.720
probably has a more technical name than that but oh well basically you just pull this thing down it punctures through

00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:24.880
your hard drive like what Linus has on display listen to

00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:26.840
this what's left of the platters inside

00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:31.360
so this is Monitor sorting land you can see we've got oh it's a 19-in VGA and

00:01:29.119 --> 00:01:35.159
DVI but how do we know it works so this is cool they've actually got a KVM setup

00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:41.920
here and then they've just got a test machine here that allows them to run the

00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:43.759
monitors for I think it is 30 minutes or

00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:47.280
something along those lines and then they can determine are they working are

00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:50.280
they not and decide whether they end up in the store here we have small

00:01:48.600 --> 00:01:55.799
dismantle and circuit board preparation basically what they do here is take things apart that are small so you have

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:59.640
a lot of like motherboard batteries you have little motors for different things

00:01:57.320 --> 00:02:02.880
like hard drives you have magnetic coils for for different things and all this

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:06.640
kind of stuff gets prepared because you're looting certain valuable things

00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:10.920
off of it and then circuit board preparation is for stuff that goes into

00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:14.280
here because these get recycled where they take out the gold and the platinum

00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:19.720
and all the valuable things off the board and make some money off of it to

00:02:16.519 --> 00:02:22.480
fund free geek this is PC dismantle land

00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:27.440
there's a few rules no lose side padels ever anywhere and I have definitely had

00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:31.040
this problem at our office so uh I totally get it so this is the pile of

00:02:29.239 --> 00:02:34.239
all the compu that we've actually dismantled most of today so you guys are

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:39.800
going to be able to check that out in our Vlog we've got Nikki V taken apart

00:02:37.160 --> 00:02:43.319
okay not like that we are not barbarians Nikki ve uh so basically you sort

00:02:41.959 --> 00:02:46.879
everything into

00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:52.519
aluminum steel

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:57.720
scrap copper

00:02:52.519 --> 00:03:02.120
CPUs check that out RAM circuit

00:02:57.720 --> 00:03:04.159
boards motherboards oh a f fence my

00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:10.400
fence oh thank you Dennis good job

00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:14.280
Dennis and Optical and whatever this is

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:16.640
drives the Bui 230 so this is component

00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:22.319
disassembly you get stuff like routers Optical drives speakers whatever and

00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:25.440
then take them to this table over here where you can see this one's even

00:03:23.799 --> 00:03:29.159
partway through assembly this was our disassembly this was a tape drive which

00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:33.480
are actually pretty expensive but it's broken so it's getting taken apart take

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.840
things out like the like the magnets and whatnot strip them down into raw

00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:41.120
materials where we have steel and plastic over there and then we have

00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:45.159
circuit boards up here which are taken for their copper gold or platinum or

00:03:43.799 --> 00:03:52.680
whatever and then Steel's just taken for raw steel here they're recycling by uh

00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.680
yeah straight up recycling I

00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:04.360
guess in here we've got memory land so this is where they sort and test all of

00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:08.799
the RAM from the disassembly station so you can see they've got this this is so

00:04:06.079 --> 00:04:14.560
cool this like wall mounted memory testing system that they got here ddr2

00:04:11.519 --> 00:04:16.600
and DDR3 and then they sorted into all

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:21.199
the different working capacities and speeds this is actually more RAM than I

00:04:18.919 --> 00:04:25.120
have ever seen in one place anywhere in my life they have some cool stuff in

00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:31.320
here like they've got all these FB dims so this is older server memory um I mean

00:04:27.919 --> 00:04:34.280
check this out they've I remember these

00:04:31.320 --> 00:04:38.479
ocz Reaper Edition now with heat pipe cooling everything is so well organized

00:04:36.840 --> 00:04:42.440
and documented here it is so cool so there's like this awesome chart of like

00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:46.720
here's all the different types of RAM pretty much pretty much ever the blank

00:04:44.919 --> 00:04:53.720
spot for ddr4 I suspect they don't get a lot of scrap ddr4 uh so this is hard drive so RAM is

00:04:52.280 --> 00:04:56.800
right behind you lus just walked you guys through that one this is hard drive

00:04:55.400 --> 00:05:00.280
so they have these like custommade wooden hard drive holders which are

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:03.960
actually pretty sick they use them at all their stations they kind of

00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:07.400
zombified their computer so they have SATA power and data coming out of the

00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:11.280
front so they can hook up as many drives as they want this station is the wiping

00:05:09.320 --> 00:05:15.840
station they run Derek's botin nuke and just wipe the drive so much that someone

00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:19.800
wouldn't realistically be able to very easily get the data off of it then it

00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:23.120
goes to blank drive so once it's done being wiped comes down here to blank

00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:28.520
there isn't that many blank ones right now there's just a 200 gig IDE then it

00:05:25.960 --> 00:05:31.199
goes up into in the installation station where they have the same kind of

00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:35.440
zombified computers with cables hanging out the front and they install Ubuntu

00:05:33.960 --> 00:05:40.280
right now they're thinking about moving to Mint I supported that move um so

00:05:38.280 --> 00:05:44.360
maybe they'll actually do that and then they install the same thing on all these

00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:48.960
drives so it's free open- source software which they support a lot cuz

00:05:46.479 --> 00:05:53.639
things that are cheap are good for them um and then these are prepped and ready

00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:55.080
to go to the system setup area we have

00:05:53.639 --> 00:06:00.800
what Taran and John are currently working on which is actually the final setup of well almost the final setup of

00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:04.039
one of the systems you take note of what's in it uh if it's actually

00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:09.280
functioning properly you do stuff like a stress test you make sure that it's clean you take note of how many slots

00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:14.919
are there for different things write down your name give the system a name

00:06:11.440 --> 00:06:17.560
whatnot and then that's basic QC it has

00:06:14.919 --> 00:06:22.720
one more round of QC right after that before it goes up and into the store

00:06:19.599 --> 00:06:24.400
what what what what what what no but

00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:28.960
seriously welcome to the thrift shop so this is where all the refurbished stuff

00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:32.039
from out there ends up so in here you can buy

00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:37.039
well pretty much anything that you saw out there except peac meal or whole

00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:42.639
systems and I think they sell themselves a little bit short here I mean we have

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:47.880
more types of RAM and CPUs available please ask for assistance uh yeah they

00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:50.759
do we have definitely seen it not everyone wants to buy Bare components

00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:55.240
though and they've actually got a wide variety of different systems everything

00:06:52.479 --> 00:06:59.240
from like Core 2 Duos that are 50 bucks or you can actually just work uh a few

00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:02.800
hours here as a volunteer and you can take take one of these puppies home all

00:07:01.039 --> 00:07:09.479
the way up to more expensive stuff like this Mac Pro with uh dual quad core xon

00:07:07.039 --> 00:07:13.840
or this Intel Core i7 actually fairly capable gaming rig all for pretty

00:07:11.479 --> 00:07:18.080
reasonable prices so that is how Luke performed so well in the last scrapyard

00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:23.800
Wars there's some other very cool stuff in the store that's probably not for

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:25.879
sale like this uh vintage FedEx water

00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:31.440
cooled computers I mean that looks like I think that's a not a TDX it's an ndx

00:07:29.440 --> 00:07:36.840
or something like that from danger Den now defunct I mean look at this thing

00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:44.759
look at this look at this stuff it's unbelievable there like the pesh mode in

00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:48.199
here I like the

00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:50.720
mode this is this predates the AOL

00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:55.000
CD they have other stuff up here as well that aren't just normal computers

00:07:52.360 --> 00:08:00.479
including this which is a up to 100t range 256bit AES encrypted Wireless

00:07:58.280 --> 00:08:05.199
mechanical keyboard with cherry black switches on it which is actually pretty

00:08:02.960 --> 00:08:10.000
sick and it's just under a 100 bucks which is badass they have like shows and

00:08:07.919 --> 00:08:13.759
stuff so you can get the office they have the first four seasons of the

00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:17.960
office they have some games over behind me there's individual component stuff

00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:22.080
like Optical drives behind the desk you can buy things like motherboards and

00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:25.039
CPUs you can pretty much get hooked up but you might have noticed the laptops

00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:30.080
in the thrift store we never showed where those came from this is the laptop

00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:34.440
lab this is actually one of the big money makers for free geek not to say

00:08:32.560 --> 00:08:38.919
that it's a for-profit society I'm just saying that they have to keep the lights

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:41.640
on and the bills paid somehow and this

00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:47.080
department is a big part of it so in here they've got their uh well this is

00:08:44.760 --> 00:08:51.880
all the we know there's stuff wrong with this this is the issues laptops over

00:08:50.160 --> 00:08:58.079
here these are the ones that are ready to build so ready to replace batteries

00:08:54.959 --> 00:09:01.040
uh replace RAM replace drives or maybe

00:08:58.079 --> 00:09:06.880
just be uh thrown out as E-Waste like this pretty ba looking Panasonic uh

00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:09.640
rugged computer here this over here is testing stations where you can see

00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:14.040
they're using you know industry standard tools like mem test for example to make

00:09:11.959 --> 00:09:20.279
sure that everything's going hunky dory over here and then once it's all done in

00:09:16.839 --> 00:09:23.399
this room check this out my friends this

00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:26.279
over here is actually an incoming pile

00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:31.640
but this over here is the stacks on stacks on stacks on stacks of finished

00:09:29.680 --> 00:09:37.160
laptop computers that are ready to go out to the store or to people who need

00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:40.839
them speaking of actually nothing because I'm in a different place doing a

00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:45.640
different thing ting.com Ting is the mobile carrier that actually has a phone

00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:50.040
which if you think about it kind of makes sense I mean if their entire business is providing people with phones

00:09:48.560 --> 00:09:53.800
you'd think people would be able to take those phones dial a number and speak to

00:09:51.920 --> 00:09:57.480
an actual person yes my friends an actual person will pick up the phone and

00:09:55.480 --> 00:10:01.320
talk to you if you have any kind of issue so let's let's say you don't have

00:09:59.959 --> 00:10:06.000
an issue let say you're not on Ting yet and you want to know if it will make any

00:10:03.040 --> 00:10:09.600
sense head over to lin.com we've got that Linked In the video description and

00:10:07.640 --> 00:10:14.880
try out their savings calculator Ting charges you only for the airtime that

00:10:12.640 --> 00:10:18.839
you use and the average Ting bill is only $24 a month if you use their

00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:23.560
savings calculator you enter your last few bills on your existing plan and you

00:10:20.680 --> 00:10:29.240
find out if you will save money on Ting and even better than that they will pay

00:10:25.920 --> 00:10:31.160
25% up to $75 of your contract

00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:35.240
cancellation fee and if you use our link you'll get another 25 bucks off your

00:10:32.959 --> 00:10:40.880
bill or in device credit so head over to lin. thing.com and check it out today

00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:43.880
okay so that's pretty much it for today we're going to have a vlog coming up

00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:47.639
showing everyone working at all the stations here at free geek and uh for

00:10:45.760 --> 00:10:52.120
now though we're actually setting up to shoot the W show live here at free geek

00:10:50.760 --> 00:10:56.839
hopefully we have all of our equipment and there are no technical

00:10:53.800 --> 00:10:59.600
difficulties yeah right but uh I'm not

00:10:56.839 --> 00:11:02.160
going to count necessarily on that so thanks for watching guys if you

wondering what to watch next maybe check out uh I always struggle with with this

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:35.600
what's a video we did recently uh there was the update to the I don't want to

00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:42.639
say the name of itate seven Gamers one CPU update yes

00:11:38.680 --> 00:11:42.639
that's the one check that out up

00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.120
there
