it is official my friends
the bankruptcy auction of my former employer
ncix.com has begun it's today i've got
my voter card this is my registration so it's the previewing day we're going
to go in we're going to see what's what and then we're actually going to come
back tomorrow the ncis tech tips gold
play button is in there that's my kit i
want that and i'm sure i'm going to find some other stuff too check this out
for any unfilled orders please contact your credit card company to charge back
we are sorry for any inconvenience we're done
we're done all right let's go
synergy 2 lets you seamlessly share a mouse and keyboard between multiple
computers check it out at the link below
so i've been to auctions run by these guys before and it was at their facility
and everything was kind of like put into bins and carts
but on location the rules are a little different like even at the check-in desk
the computer's here they're up for auction
you just you go ever like is this toilet plunger up for auction
no no it's not okay so not everything but a lot of things
so in here is where they used to assemble all the ncix pc computers i was
actually in here must have been i don't know a month or
two ago and i was chatting with the uh the owner former owner i don't know how
that works but i was in here and it was like crazy like basically
screwdrivers down it looked like everyone went home for
the day and then just never came back so they've they've kind
of staged things a little bit to make it look a little more you know
auctiony it looks like any machines that were in
the process of being built and or like this one's got a lot of dust in it look
at this and or i don't know maybe we're in for
repair or we're being used as demo systems have just kind of been set up all along the
counters here for people to to bid on them
some pretty good stuff in here so the way that these auctions work is
everything is kind of grouped into lots so you can't just bid on this sapphire
hd 2600 xt as though you would want to
you got to buy this uh one terabyte two and a half inch hard
drive uh this test blank
no way oh man there is so much
like epic loot here look at this
alienware compute2000 stress balls
this is doing nothing for my stress right now
you could do like a a techie archaeological dig in this place and
that was already true when i left five years ago
please keep this door closed what are you gonna do about it
oh lock it all right okay this is fun uh we found a
home for the stress ball i found on the floor my stress stress is all gone now uh and
we've got some other good stuff here too so this this was my bad
like eight years ago i cut a po for this
this is the mountain mods uh it's uv
green acrylic stylish that that stayed fashionable uv
green acrylic and it's an external radiator mount with like these handles
on the top so you would basically like separate them and then you would screw
in your radiator on both sides and you could just mount the radiator and just plunk it down on your desk needless to
say that concept didn't really take off and making matters worse if you were to
buy one of these today i hope you have a thermo-chill pa series radiator because
otherwise it won't fit and those have been discontinued for over half a decade
so sorry ncix i done goofed on that one
another thing i bought that never sold um these the mod smart these were the
primo chill guys sometimes they moved okay some colors
though not as successful as others more danger den stuff
oh no an am2 hold down for the swiftech storm
oh oh okay here's another good one i guarantee you i bought this too uh
apogee gt yep so i actually cut my teeth
as a product manager on the water cooling category because no one else
wanted to do it look at that yellow label there baby this is the db1 from
d-tec do you guys remember d-tech
i didn't think so danny from d-tech good guy good guy man
they made the best barbs in the game back when barbed fittings were cool
this is a fun bin if you want some truly legacy stuff like this looks really good
but this is a gtx 760 and this doesn't
even look good but it's like funnier than it than it looks it looks like a
crappy graphics card uh-uh this is a pci card this is a fizz x card fizz x by
ajiya these x
this is the future
okay i need to find out how much the minimum bid is because like
i just want to do a retro unboxing of office xp professionals still sealed
adobe illustrator cs2 like clearly not worth anything but
it's an upgrade you have to have cs1
terrible now that is a dead operating system if i've ever seen one
hey i've got an ipad too
here's a pink case for it um as long as i'm willing to buy
uh 30 of them and also
holy crap there's like a couple hundred cases for
the galaxy note not the note
three or no five or no eight
the original galaxy note
oops that wasn't me what is this stuff
okay so the way these things work like everything is as is
where it is so a box like this
might be a treasure check this out this is z270 something no
x99 not z270 so like
whatever's in here is in here
also not z270 that's another x99 board
it's got like laptops
for days in here and boxes for like
phones and stuff too like is this a blackberry phone no see empty
box um
but this feels like there could be a p9 plus inside
and there isn't so so you get you gotta go through this
stuff pretty carefully one thing i know for sure though is that
craigslist is going to be flush
with uh hardware deals hardware deals
for days on craigslist with markup after this auction
i mean it is kind of depressing to think about
it being reduced to this like to the point where
your promotional pens are in a bin for auction one day this could be us
now this kind of stuff is sad like i remember irene i worked with irene
she doesn't have a job anymore um
yeah she was really nice
i guess i didn't really have anywhere to go with that
yeah no i actually have nowhere to go with that that's kind of a bummer i wonder what
irene's stuff is in here
a sears bag and some gloves
holy is this all of the customer records
this isn't for sale right
throw away okay yeah good i
shred hopefully okay so here's all the good stuff here's
a bunch of like current motherboards uh x370 pros like here's a rampage
5 edition 10. it's like a 600 700 board
uh here's all the graphics cards that are worth anything as well so your 1060s
1070s i mean this should give you some idea how bad the GPU shortage was that a
retailer went out of business and had literally
20 graphics cards in stock oh
wow they've still got one of the water cooled fx processors
ooh and a core i7 extreme from like four
or five years ago ouch you can buy all the lunchroom chairs lunchroom
microwaves mini fridge this is the aquarium as i called it or
the boardroom i just felt like i felt like a fish
sitting in here this was the ceo's office
so apparently he set it up with a projector
at some point it wasn't like this the last time i was hanging around here but
uh i've had a couple of actually i've had a couple of very tense meetings in this
room so someone had told me that the gold play button was in the ceo's office
but i didn't see it there do you know if the gold youtube play
button is here okay so i'm messaging my old boss because i really want that gold
play button um but in the meantime we did get some
clarification on this one there is an auction lot for it
but here get get wide because there's a lot of stuff i got to show here
to buy it i have to buy all of these
awards all of this crap
this dinosaur this uh basketball signed by dirk meyer
um this tv this stand
and these two plants over here
really for a silver button
i might be better off just telling you guys go subscribe to Linus cat tips try
and get another 20 000 subs over there get a cat tips play button
oh it's been a long time since i've been
here so it wasn't the wisest move ever but
yep it was my call to do half of the room
green screen green and half of it so this is actually the original chroma
key blue and then they repainted this one for when the other team moved over
here after they got booted out of their previous studio um we uh the idea was
we'd be able to green or blue screen in this room but what happened in practice
was um we just ended up with a lot of green cast on everything that we shot on
the blue wall this will be the last time i ever walked
through here i haven't been here in like
well over two years three years
huh well i guess this is as good a place as
any to end our tour um
i guess we'll be back tomorrow with bidding
