hey yep i can hear you sorry about that my phone died um i'm unplugged into my
battery bank now okay uh 250 uh we can be there in about an hour and a half is
that does that work for you hour and a half
um is that like 4 30
that would be about 4 30.
can i get the exact address now and then i can give you the more accurate eta
sure no problem fantastic okay awesome let's let's do a
deal honey so how much is it total uh we'll go ahead and do the i7
so what did i say you said 180 for the i7 system
um why is there a hard drive written here
15 for the SSD and then what else did we
what else did we take um just five bucks for the van that was it
really you're gonna charge me for the fan now fair enough i'm not gonna charge you for the fan i was you're asking what
else you took he's only he's charging me for the fan because i told him it was
worth something you do
not paint no damn no it's fine so it's 195 195 okay i allowed to i have
a window of how much i could charge for these things and that's pretty standard okay okay so then
we're good because yes he did figure out who we were
exactly um because your alias is
and you're wearing a shirt ash ketchum
the email is not supposed to be used for craigslist it's just a burner email
email it's just a burner email
nice to meet you you need to do pictures can we do that yes definitely yeah
thank you but it's cool as long as we bought the
system square absolutely yeah
we can't take an advantage
i really don't think that could have gone any better we have a possibly
serviceable power supply yeah so we got a 3770 eight gigs of RAM i really wanted
16 gigs of RAM i know but it just it won't help with the benchmarks you're
right i know i get it uh so we have CPU RAM motherboard case maybe a power
supply and we've got a lead on a 980 ti
for 250 bucks that we're gonna start driving to get to
right now which is insanity so let's go
i will believe this graphics card when it's like in our system and on and
doesn't crash before you run a benchmark it's 250 dollars
for an iti and like he calls you
you say we have one for 275 that's far away that we are willing to get can you
price it at the same amount and he says no it's cheaper
and it's also water cooled like i don't i don't i think he just wants to move it
so we left there with almost a full system it just didn't have a graphics
card and the power supply was a little sketchy but while we were there Linus
got a call with a lead for a 980 ti so our plan at that point was just to go
and we secured a deal where we could come back to css possibly and buy
another power supply if we needed to do some weird power supply system thing and
we took off an hour and a half to somewhere completely different to pick
up a 980 ti that happened to be water cooled
man that was sick paul and khan might be able to hear me through the door so i'm trying to keep this down but that was
awesome after that everything must go entire
store on sale i want to go to radio shack can we can we go to can we go to
radio back well we wait yeah i have a radio show
no one has said no okay could you be less of a dick
okay so what we have to know then though is um
i see there's a little note in the box uh when did you figure out who we were
kind of
the thing is though i didn't know it was going to be you or not because
your voice is a little different it is imperative
that you would have done this deal
for 250 for someone else yeah i've been trying to sell for a while okay what
when was the first time you posted on craigslist like two weeks ago okay it's
been a while okay not many people are gamers okay
okay so that's fine
i'm sure yeah we would have it would have killed
us to uh to arrive here and find out we couldn't
buy this from you is there a fan okay so we actually need to make a decision
right now on the power supply do we take the power supply which gives
us 15 for the theme is it possible that we
could pick up the power supply tomorrow if we decide we want it yeah
i'll be here i think i think we should just take it
i think you're wrong i don't think so i think you're wrong i think we should how
am i wrong you're wrong in that i really don't think that thermaltake is gonna power
this thing but if it does work
then we have i guess he already knows this anyways if it does work then we have 45 dollars for
RGB which is like pretty wicked
10 man four out of the six benchmarks we can
build tonight four out of the six benchmarks are gaming yeah okay
this has a water cooler on it we can probably make up our stupid 10
just by being able to power it properly and we can find leaves on the side of
the road
buy some flowers for four bucks for red
more flowers for blue if we like cut a hole in the side panel have the flowers
coming out creative okay fine i think we take the power supply
whatever man okay okay sorry graphics card power supply
yeah sorry we're we've never actually worked together on
this before so we're discovering that first time we really don't get along
that we were really worried about the power
supply because if we got a 980 ti but couldn't power it
we have a super amazing computer that can't
complete any benchmarks and we end up disqualified so we have 15 left
for RGB lighting or do you just want to get your RAM when we do leaves yeah i
could get my RAM maybe let's i want my rams
thank you thank you is it possible i figured that was coming is that the
errand you were running were you grabbing sharpies yep
yeah okay but you got to tell me were you grabbing sharpies just in case
just in case okay you never know we might have to like write a contract or
something with it okay okay all right all right
if nothing else he seems pretty adamant yep
and that is a fresh package of sharpies yes it is
you know what i'm i'm i'm going with it
his story is good and on the phone he let nothing yeah
i'll give you that on the phone like he was even confusing and stuff yeah
he knew us the theory there is that he didn't know us right away we ended up
calling him a whole bunch of times and very frantically unlike almost anyone
would and with Linus's voice
so the theory is that he didn't figure it out until after he offered us
everything and after we had finalized pricing because the idea in our heads is
that he went back and watched some youtube videos and then was like yeah that is his voice for sure and then went
out and bought sharpies and that's why he was late for the meetup because he
figured it out way later on there's an hour and a half window there where he could have figured it out
and he swears up and down that he would have sold it for that much to anyone
because he's been trying to sell it for two weeks and hasn't been able to move it
uh okay so i did grab the note which was
still on the seat of his car so let's see what it says
it says huge fan Linus hope you win
would would he gamble
and put a note in the box thinking
okay some random that part sketches me out more than almost anything else
so i don't i don't think we're in the wrong
i don't like it yeah i don't have to like if paul and
kyle are a little salty i'll get it
but we also have done our due diligence
okay so we might have a slight change of plans here um instead of you going to
pick up well first off i just found this ad on craigslist 25
for a 64 gig SSD which would be exactly what we're
looking for 25 is five dollars out of our budget though we only have 20 bucks
for an SSD so what i'm thinking is instead of you going to rancho to to
pick up that RGB strip for 10 just maybe cancel on that guy and use
five of those dollars to get this SSD we can use the other five
you had a great idea earlier instead of using RGB leds if we just spent five
bucks on like um red multi-colored like electrical tape
and we could just tape up the the case the system make it look nice do some
racing stripes type of thing can we can block over any any open holes or
anything exactly the other good thing about this place is if they're available today
they're sort of in the same area where at least the same direction as micro
center so it could also save us some time instead of us having to split off right now in different directions so you
worked you worked some magic yesterday with the 980 ti i think you should try
it on this guy and see if you can get one for 20. that's a good ass because
there's 64 good gig SSD actually i think this is the guy z
who called yesterday okay i remember he was like oh man i hope you guys do you
know can find him or whatever but it didn't sound like he was willing to budge okay i'm hoping to god that he's
not sold out of them because i can't remember if he mentioned that yesterday on the phone if like that's why he
couldn't help us or if it was a budget thing he says several several sounds
like that it was posted a week ago so i think we might still be in the clear
okay so i'm gonna give him a call right
i'm now gonna stand here you know in hindsight i really wish that
i had exact change for the 980 ti guy because that would mean we'd technically
have five extra dollars at our disposal but
you know technically since Linus never gave us the money to spend and
we're using your money wasn't that your money that you tipped
him with and not the money from the company it technically was yeah that
was my money that was in my pocket that
seems perfectly fair to me in my pants
so i think that was my money i think anything in
your pants should be fair again so does that mean we can now offer five extra
dollars to any offer that we attach to an SSD right now
uh let's ask the audience what do you think audience
is where you shake the camera up and down to make the yes motion
no that looks like i know what you're doing right now but you gotta go
all right there we go now we're talking all right five dollars here we go i don't know
i've seen Linus do shady or [ __ ] on this show that's a good point and uh
obviously if he had just given us the money up front
rather than leaving it in the bathroom at the hotel that would have been way more concrete there would be no no
debate yeah i think he purposely left it open just to see how we would react it's
sort of a social experiment he's seeing if we can strategize this and find a way
to work around clearly his his mistakes i think actually that would mean we have
six extra dollars because you gave an extra dollar to the the case guy i gave
him 10 instead of right okay i'm gonna start making 26 offers on ssds beautiful
so on offer up we have found 120 gig Corsair
drive it says it's open box but never been used so it's
actually pretty fast drive 120 gigs
that's 30 bucks it's in woodier which is pretty close to here
but there's only make offer options so we had to send him a message through the
website and we have no idea if he's actually going to respond but it was
only posted two days ago so
seems seems like a viable possibility he also has five five-star reviews so
that's good too so i am having some success uh as far as
finding listings with offer up which i haven't used before but
very similar to let go just people take a quick picture post it um
found 180 gig one it's about 18 miles away
of course that Corsair one i've reached out to about five or six people so far
which is some quick messages there's a few more here now that i've expanded the
search range but we don't want to have to drive too far we don't have that much time
but an SSD like
as soon as possible we got to get Windows starting to load get games
good to go we now have about four and a half hours left until we're
supposed to end okay okay
there's a possibility we have a reply two minutes ago
uh 80 gig until for 25.
done um can pick up any time
this is it this is the one
way immediately get the address and split up really
quick i'll do the i'll go to micro center you can get the drive
two thirds of the competition gone i think we're pretty good shape i think we have a pretty good amount of hardware uh
going on uh obviously we have some some hurdles to get past today gotta get the
SSD set up gotta get Windows installed gotta do some modding gotta handle the
RGB stuff so we have a lot of work ahead of us but we do have i think a decent
amount of time i feel like we're we're where we should be at this point in the competition so very optimistic i think
and uh we also have some bribes for the judge so that's gonna help too
uh we need to make this
fit in here
that's what she said more actually
that's true because this is more important than that
but in order to do this we will require some power
i'm sure that's fine to do this we need power tools
like this one
black and decker
that i'm going to try to do with this first it's a little bit more precision we do i do have a jigsaw available too
if the dremel the rotary it's not a dremel but
it is rotary tool if it doesn't work then
pull out the big guns go with a jigsaw completely differently than what paul's
been working on i started with 20 he was like that's way
too low i offered 30 and he said the lowest i
can do is 35. he's all the way in fontana so i was like if i can drive 45
minutes to you please if you can do 30 i will drive all the way to you he said
finally okay i'll take 30. and he's going to meet me at best buy in orange
so it's closer to me beautiful that is okay so much better so right now right
now uh well actually he hasn't confirmed when but um that's the only thing that
could screw this up is if he's like i can't meet till like 5 pm or something because we need it now if you can
confirm that you can meet within the next hour then go go go and i'll tell
huntington beach guy that we're going to back out
or you could just go go go anyway and we'll wait until honey to bci responds
you're going the same direction for both of them so that's good yeah okay
so actually we have we have two options now for ssds we can go paul's route for
80 gig SSD 25 or we can go 30 dollars for a 128 gig
SSD on my end your your guy would save us five dollars
and we can put that towards more um RGB tape
for the system so even though it's a bit further away
it might be worth it so see where the bombs is it's off edinger and that's the
same exit you get off of to go to micro center so it's probably just west today
okay then geez i don't want to like okay then um
ask him what time he can meet and i already asked 1pm 1pm he said cool yes
we can meet us at vaughn's off springdale ninja so okay you just go
right now okay uh let me get i should probably go straight there then
right yeah before i hit micro center
it's right here now i get to tell this guy like hey all
that haggling that i threw your way um
never mind what kind of messages to you you know
although i don't burn my bridge just yet just in case this guy doesn't work out
so uh i'm gonna email this to you which email should i send it just uh yeah
actually do the uh do you have my other one i should
cky
see you guys
let's snap off oh look at that that's beautiful it'll
do the next next thing which is bend in and out of the way
all right so now it's not lining up i don't know i'm an idiot
i'm an idiot
i measured for i measured for the top pc uh damn it need to do a little bit
more cutting i measured for the top pci bracket
which is a 1x not not the second PCIe bracket
which is actually the 16x the card needs to plug
no worries
okay yes
yes
[ __ ] yeah wait let me try that again
nope don't do it no i'm becoming more and more happy with uh
with the case mod that we did here um you know
slip shot though it may be look it's acting as a GPU support right there it's
resting let's look at the big ass GPU triple slot design normally it'd be
drooping down like a limp dick but now it's just
direct i guess so this is this is really temporary and
honestly just because i'm uh just trying to figure out some solution
we have two five and a quarter inch open bays at the front the case did not come
with with covers for it's gonna be this is gonna be a new trend i think people
are gonna start doing this Intel's gonna have a ton of pressure on
them to make like really nice looking CPU boxes so people can put them on
display so i just got back i got a couple things
one of which is the 80 gig SSD that we currently have Windows loading on right
now it's installing it is functional Windows is installed onto it so uh it
just loaded i got to do driver updates and get everything transferred over as
far as games and tests from this system
okay so we've got all of our expenses entered now
and everything seems to be kosher
here's everything we've got so far we've got our craigslist ad screenshotted and
our invoice is entered and we've got 15 left
for everything we could possibly need to put together our machine
and take a shot at the 10 RGB bonus
hit me with what you got first so um
a couple things i'm getting all of our software and games for all the
benchmarking later so that we can start benchmarking as fast as possible second
thing second thing i located a grocery store
that is rather close so if we still want to go with the flowers idea we can do
that i was sort of thinking we could punch a hole in the side panel and have
the flowers like coming out of the case red green and blue flowers yeah
okay which should be actually like not that hard to get in terms of colors let
me hit you with an idea i had this morning because
you've been on you've been on the craigslist there's an email in the craigslist
i haven't heard back from anybody yet okay but wouldn't you imagine
that in late march christmas lights
might be pretty cheap oh my god um
yeah and blue is actually not that uncommon for christmas lights
so i haven't heard back from anybody yet but
i also found another lead check out this place
led for everything.com
is located 15 minutes from here here's an RGB waterproof led strip kit with
controller that would have packs on it is too expensive well hold on hold on
but what i'm thinking is we don't need
uh what is this this is a five meter
roll oh wow so we could show up there
and we could be like okay we'll take like
scrap strips we have 15
can you do it would you rather do RGB led strips or like some weird thing
with flowers i don't know i'm torn i'd love to know if strips with
a controller are an option like i feel
better having the lighting and then trying to
figure out if there's like
some green like on a box that we could cut out to like
like i don't know like do some decoration
i don't think we have a huge bid in the RGB realm so my kind of concept is that
go get my RAM no
i didn't say that because we have to win the like oh that's creative vote you
know what i mean right instead of to just like that's a really good
implementation of RGB i don't think we're gonna win that vote but if we do
christmas lights we could go straight cancer
and we could buy five meters of lights and just light them up
and chuck them in there like i'm sure those guys are gonna have
real RGB lighting we decided to go a different route uh instead of RGB
lighting altogether we're just gonna use tape because i think it's a little bit
clever and quite frankly led lights are a little bit
overplayed it's like it's like i took a class in this or
something it's just so so beautiful
things are proceeding with the system itself uh SSD's installed i'm going to
tuck that stuff in there and put the side panel on panel on once kyle's
finished with it it's a little i got a little freaked out for a minute uh when
i first installed Windows it it was really sluggish like doing anything
just pulling up the Windows menu it seemed like it was just
like i would click Windows mini it would take five or ten seconds before it would actually pull up i think it was just
doing background Windows 10 initial installation setup stuff at that time uh
and there was no wi-fi or no internet at first but that kicked in too so i had to
re do a couple restarts but now everything seems back up to speed i just
installed steam so i gotta copy games and uh i also did drivers on this so i'm
gonna do that right now the only thing i can think to do is kind of create this
uh staggered effect with the various colors that we have
um and then i'm gonna work my way inward i also kind of want to do some sort of
fun border around the window itself but i'm just kind of letting the ideas come
to me but uh it's very time consuming i'm just hoping
that it will eventually pay off
oh i was just gonna say i wish i had a
magnetic uh thing to put all these screws on
well my fix-it sponsor
okay
oh security measures
it's fine
why do you drop everything it didn't i didn't drop it i put it down really fast
did you hear an impact i yes
on your foot yeah i put it down on my foot really fast
it's okay i'll get it
there no problem
you didn't used to drop everything now you had said you were thinking
radiator on the bottom but i got to tell you i'm actually no no the door
on the door oh on the side panels like the tubes are actually really long
shoot
that's fine that'll be fine that'll be fine and we could do some cool mod
anyways where they like come out of the door a little bit if we really wanted to so are you thinking like that yeah and
then as an intake we could like okay yeah yeah i can do
that cut like yeah like intakes all
along here and then this might actually end up being somewhat useful as an
intake another option is like
this seems to be multiple pieces here
look this pops off whatever this is
what happens if we take this out i wonder if it ends up looking really
cool um that's not gonna look cool ah yeah
that might not look that good okay well let me let me finish this anyway
it'll be easier to mod that face if you want to though yep
possibly
so this does not look good
no how to mount the power supply
okay so you said you had an idea i have one that you're not gonna like so you go
first i wanna hear the idea i'm not gonna like
if we decide that we don't need this absolutely we test everything out of the
system everything's fine yeah cause like i i think
this is actually versus doing a dual power supply like janky thing where we
have because we don't have a jumper we'd have to pay like 10
for one of those power supply dual psu jumper things
which we have but like really yeah um i
think this is a better bet to run this whole system
so okay so if we decide we don't need if we decide we don't need this yeah we
could there's space here we could open the top up
sheer the back off cut a hole around it and make a mounting
plate with this using these screw holes that are already
nicely threaded why wouldn't i like that that was the same idea i was gonna pitch
here
look at how much clearance there is inside here
yeah and then just like so take cut a hole in here for the
modular interface that would be easier
so i'm gonna have to not destroy it but like definitely use a
soldering iron and dismantle it if i wanted to come out of here
hi i'm just wondering uh i was looking at your
3528 RGB waterproof led strip kit and i
was just thinking like i don't need the power supply and i don't need that many
leds so i was just wondering if you guys had like cheaper options if you don't
need as many things like maybe you just have some scrap RGB led strips around
and don't need those and we just get those in a clicker
but if you need i can remove the power supply from the kit set so
they will be cheaper yeah okay um
we have about 15 bucks
exactly nothing nothing like we like we
have a five and we have a 10 and that is the total amount of money that we have
uh what do you think we could get for that
oh actually for 15 so you mean that you want us to ship it to you or you no we
can we can come pick it up for sure if you can pick up from our location we
can just choose this car you can just buy the
entire 5050 lgbtq set for 15
with the power supply so cash no tax
uh low test yeah it's fine 15 feet yeah
okay okay i think we've got a deal what was the address
a minute i thought we were only doing the bottom
right my bad
i think i did the same thing you did oh shoot okay i don't think it'll look
that bad okay
in other news our stress test uh both ida 64 for the
CPU and combustor plasma for the GPU are
going strong and GPU is at 43 degrees
yep that was with the front completely off yeah
and the side off oh no no i know i know no no this isn't like this is not final
temps i just mean everything's running smoothly under like worst case scenario
we leave the side panel off and we just
fill it with RGB and we lose RGB and then we destroy
anyways yes we're talking about how classy our
victory is going to be at this point which matters which does matter
which does matter both care about that we do both care about that
what there's ac in the garage
you knew this i didn't know this
it is freaking hot in here i would have turned it on
i told you yesterday that it exists
okay well i don't know how to turn it maybe you haven't
we don't need to put anything on the heart of dewey yeah we do we have an 80
gig SSD oh we actually have to put
the games on the hard drive i thought we were just running them from the
from the uh external so if they buy if
someone if one of you guys buys a bad part off craigslist that ends up not
working you get that money back
if you buy a bad part yeah or if it breaks
or if it breaks
our rule has always been you got to deal with it no one's ever done that
well people have broken things
you may recall that in scrap yard war season four
i broke a motherboard and then had to repair it
i mean are they gonna not have a system you know what yeah
i'm feeling pretty charitable if they got a broken part
should we sure yeah yeah you know what that's
that's the confidence level in this room let's let's go buy our second 980 ti
yeah yeah let's do that
in this case today
it would be that you like get the money back and you can reuse the money i guess
oh i see but that won't help us out by training now to be honest great
so clean the case power supply mount radiator mount for the front which is
basically just a matter of drilling a few holes yeah um
side panel Windows i have two of now because i found this
thing under here oh seriously
yeah it's actually like slightly bigger too
nice so we have two side panel Windows from the power supply nice so we have
like a couple strategically placed classy Windows yeah
so front vent cover mod we have to do that
and then we have to uh re-splice the fan connectors
so um i'm gonna like assign things
does that look pretty good sure okay we're not gonna get back from our RGB
errand until a little after two i still don't have all the games
installed and oh install games
so we can maybe teamwork that once we're done the actual physical assembly
because i'm not going to want to overclock the GPU until we've got the side panel back on anyway
okay all right let's go get some RGB strips
let me do some decelerating oh sure okay
hello hello uh we called in earlier um
uh 50 50 for 15 bucks okay so we got our clicker which doesn't
work super well but it works enough for us there's our five meters of leds power
adapter ir receiver power cable
everything's good we are good to go and our freshbooks expenses total 500
us dollars exactly not a penny to spare i'm gonna go get
some food in there let's get some noms and let's get these installed i love
that we have five meters of RGB
what if we just like it has adhesive backing right
what if we just take our five meters and just put an insane amount of it on the
outside and just be like we have the most RGB
we should get the highest score because we have the most RGB
it is a score rating remember they asked like what are the different categories
when we were just like RGB
bearing in mind who our celebrity judge is
i think we both know that isn't going to fly there's your approximate cut out for
the window turn that into straight lines
it's approx we're in a hurry
okay thanks dude
so we we have a we have a kind of a
it's like the one part that you think is just that throwaway item that you don't
even have to worry about 160 gig drive
uh we got it from the wholesale place the guy popped it into a a toaster and
tested it while we were there pulled up crystal disc info and it was fine it was
recognizing but he didn't eject it or do anything he just pulled the drive out of
the thing while it was still spinning and i was
i like know i should have said something more to be honest but now that drive is not
showing up anywhere in device manager so we are
kind of we have a problem because we only have an 80 gig SSD and we still have gta 5
and 4r to drop on and those are like i mean
we need the space on the mechanical drive so
we will need to either throw ourselves at the mercy of of Linus
who's always benevolent and forgiving and not take this to
as to his advantage at all or we could send
ed into the garage to grab one of the existing 160 gig drives that i have in
there that are completely functional and cheat does it count if we give ed
ten dollars for the hard drive what if we just give ed ten dollars
yeah ed you want ten dollars it sends you out that way it's legit and not
cheating at all yeah i mean at this point like we're not
gonna get away with anything well yeah any chance we had of that was ruined
when we like let ed record us with our with our shady plans i think we should
talk to Linus first okay
and just see what he says okay
i think this is an opportunity for team imba to throw a bone
to team loser over there if you guys can extract the drive you can have it
oh really yes is this is this a trick is this a trap the trap is that we are so
great that we have enough extra hardware to make up for your guys's failings
okay so apparently Linus and luke have so much hardware
according to Linus that this is actually an overflow and they
just handed this off to us they said if we could extract the drive and it worked properly
then you know they've basically just thrown us a bone so
let's see if this works i'm going to go ahead and crack it open
this looks like a job for i fix it
let's see so it looks like we need i don't know what you call that one but
i know what it looks like
4.6 gigahertz on the CPU it's getting pretty warm hitting mid to upper 80s
on the coors 2. actually core 2 hit 92
package hit 93. so that's about as warm as we want and i don't think i can do
anything further about securing that CPU cooler anything more i think this is the
big drawback of the t4 versus like a hyper 212. um we did hit 665. as far as
the score goes so we're probably okay but if they have an eight core if they
have a 47 70 or even like a 30 even a 37 70k that's
overclocked then we'll probably get beat there but if they have a straight quad
core i think we have a pretty good chance
thanks fix it
um
[ __ ]
so it's ide
do we have a an ide to SATA
no oh you know what though
i mean i do have an ide to say to usb dav or ide to usb adapter let's just use
that extern and just have the drive external
you can still stick it in the case somehow you know
i don't have well there's nowhere to route these to plug
in via uh an usb
header just pop it in there right like
unscrew it from there and just keep it inside what
the front usb header usb ports
the adapter plugs into like a usb cable like that needs to plug into one of the
plugs on the back of the system yeah that's what you said take one of those
disconnect it just plug it direct straight into the front or why not oh
those might be usb 1
which would severely limit the drive's capability so what if we what if we did
usb three in the back yeah yes two or three is fine
but we didn't even need that adapter which
i'm pretty sure is in the garage and i don't think i know exactly where it is
again i'd have to go out there or something
so um
do you think it would be easy
i would it'd be what yeah i have a big idea where it is i mean i
could send you in there not you people on the camera but you ed
i could send you in there to uh investigate if you want
yeah see if you can hunt it down go do our bidding
so cupboards you remember the drawers in the bottom three plastic drawers
so latest adapter works it's got ide on that side
plugs in right there and then usb and then it comes with a
power adapter to plug in like a molex plug there or SATA um but since we are
going to try to install this internally we can just use one of the molex plugs already in
the case hopefully that will work what if
if we plugged into the back if we wanted to just make it a little bit more
hidden would it be possible to like just route the cable around maybe cut out a little
hole here and actually have the drive in the uh
we have we have space back there
because like i was just gonna have it right here the adapter would stick off
right there right there i have the drive right here yeah and
then i can just feed that cable out through one of these
okay and plug it in the back yeah it works okay let me do that
it's there we have a disk that we can initialize
all thanks to Linus and luke never mind device is not ready
when was the last time you get really really excited that you had a floppy connector
at the end of this uh the end of this modular cable there is a
floppy connector and i have no idea if this is going to make a difference at all but i can actually
just plug this into the adapter they're going to look at this
and what the hell is going on with that hard drive in there i think that might
have done it because when i plugged it in the light came on on the adapter in
there so plugged in here to the hard drive and then looped back there to plug in the
ide to usb adapter
should be good hold on
well the drive still says it's not ready so
i don't know what else to do to attempt to
get this drive to work uh it came out of a you know seagate external device
whatever so my thoughts are either that it's dead
or there's some something malfunctioning with it or
there's some advanced disc initialization thing that i
apparently don't know how to do because i just keep getting the devices not
ready and uh so i don't know
goddamn hard drive i'm gonna just start cutting this guy go
go yeah go we don't we have no time to measure
gta is installed okay
problem what i got like an inch cutting disc is
now that i was going slow i was letting the
dremel do the work and everything it just like
so there's just like a gash jig
oh god have you ever used a jigsaw
not a long time i have what about a um
an angle grinder do you think he has one of those that would be great
hey paul do you have an angle grinder
do you have another cutting blade no angle grinder
thinks he might have another like one more cutting blade but doesn't
know where it is if it's the same type if it's not a hardened cutting blade i'm
not gonna make it through
bring it in let's have a look at it it's pretty bad
any idea how we're going to cut the case i haven't found anything that would work
because this looks abominable yeah it looks pretty terrible
so basically no way to cut this then
okay well what else is on the list what else is a high priority for you
i've got front vent cover mod but like
i'm out of blades we can't and we can't even like cut this for oh this is
aluminum okay we might have been able to cut this but like yeah yeah
and then psu mount okay get the power
supply out maybe disconnect all the modular cables sure
okay well we've got 25 minutes to build a computer that works and it already
works so this can't go that badly it's just a
matter of like our aesthetic scores will be terrible yeah get that disconnected
uh give me that i'll play with that you get the drives installed yeah sure and i
gotta get the rad installed too should i even dust it maybe just go outside and be like
okay there you go we have like an hour and a half two
hours uh we probably don't have time to
go out and get another drive we don't have money left to go out and get
another drive so we were stuck trying to figure out how to work that one or
like we really we really had no other options so um thankfully Linus offered
us you know threw us a bone and offered us this c8 enclosure that had a drive in
it that's uh but pulling it out we found it was ide
ide drives obviously have a completely different connector that our board
doesn't even have tried to use a usb adapter
that one eventually also turns out was bad and would not format at all so yeah
we really had no other choice but to take extreme
measures it's recognized
it's there nicholas it's already initialized it didn't need
to be initialized it was already initialized and formatted oh
so this is connected to the adapter
yeah i powered it differently but i think there is an issue with plugging in
the power both to the drive and to the adapter when it's connected
via usb something like that anyway i'm going to format this
which one is this system reserved and local disk
this is the uh the this is the ide drive
that Linus said we could use of course
why would it be anything else it's the exact specific id drive he said
you guys use this drive and we said okay it's the wd successfully in the drive
dispute kyle did did it come unplugged did he get bumped did it did that get
switched off we wanted to thank you ed for uh for joining our criminal uh
uh group or cabal or i don't know what that's called sorry if you were
incriminated um but we appreciate you risking everything to go and uh get us
another drive um you did get one that was still ide
we still appreciate that though somehow it still had the same issue
and we had three drives that didn't work and
so so i guess all that is to say for any of
you at home we did what we did because we had no
other choice
luke and lannis are almost done but without any tools can their RGB solution
make the cut and hard drive trouble pushes paul and
kyle to the limit just how far will they go to stay in the game
