1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,240
all right welcome to Scrapyard Wars where uh Luke and I try to build the

2
00:00:03,719 --> 00:00:11,040
best computers we can with a set of guidelines and a fixed budget so uh this

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:13,759
is our first episode we're looking for a lot of feedback from you guys about what

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:21,199
we can do to make these fun and interesting in the future but for today's challenge we are keeping it very

5
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:24,320
simple $300 cash the very best gaming

6
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:27,119
rig that we can build with a few rules

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:31,960
so number one is no monitor or other peripherals required we only have to

8
00:00:29,599 --> 00:00:35,760
build the tower no worker research can be pre-done so you can't like go on

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:40,000
websites or Craigslist and try to find things before or in between each

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:45,680
participant gets a total of eight hours to actually find everything and then 4

11
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:50,120
hours to build it tune it and Benchmark it and I'm not paying any overtime on

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:54,920
this so we are staying inside those guidelines no leveraging friends uh

13
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,840
social media contacts co-workers or anything of that sort overclocking is

14
00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:04,640
allowed we'll be measuring performance of the machines using 3D Mark fire

15
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:06,439
strike Tomb Raider 2013 and Dirt 3 and

16
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:10,280
along with the no peripherals thing it's just a tower that you need no operating

17
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:14,420
system or anything like that so let's get to it shall

18
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:18,080
we

19
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,439
Wars here we

20
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:31,720
go you have exceeded your daily transaction limit please take your

21
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:36,640
receipt I see deine f

22
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:40,200
um okay then I'm going go

23
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,200
inside I have the

24
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:51,690
cashola there you are thank you all right let's go shall

25
00:01:49,479 --> 00:01:54,849
we good

26
00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:03,479
luck I should have known he'd never fall for that I'm fairly sure he's going to

27
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:11,760
waste time going back to the office I brought a laptop with me so I will begin

28
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:14,200
immediately I really hope it's charged

29
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:20,000
there's a store somewhere in Vancouver I think it's called reboot um it's a non

30
00:02:17,519 --> 00:02:24,160
for-profit little store thing that kind of refurbishes computers and sells

31
00:02:22,519 --> 00:02:28,640
computers and does kind of cheap repairs and stuff for people that need it and I

32
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:33,080
think if I can participate in this contest and support a company that tries

33
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:37,000
to like they do really cheap computer repairs and I know they try to like I

34
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:41,239
think they do some charity giving computers to people and stuff if I can

35
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:46,519
help them out get a cheap computer from them and participate in the contest then

36
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:49,319
that's doing many things well at once so

37
00:02:46,519 --> 00:02:52,319
I'm going to try and see if I can do that I'm going to contact them figure

38
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:56,440
out what their hours are and go from there now we're rocking

39
00:02:56,599 --> 00:03:02,480
here Jesus

40
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,920
all right so should we start on Red Flag deals used to be used to be a haunt for

41
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:13,319
me I used to find a lot of good stuff there the lonus tech tips byy sell trade

42
00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:19,000
that Craigslist do you want me to call Anthony uh oh that no we're not allowed

43
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:22,760
to leverage friends this is where the like Montage Music has to come

44
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,760
in just buy a lap

45
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:41,000
top that might be the best we can do and

46
00:03:37,959 --> 00:03:42,760
then this guy also had uh hard drive for

47
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:51,760
20 bucks oh he looks detected does he okay

48
00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:51,760
good excellent

49
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:59,200
78 that means literally nothing so an

50
00:03:57,159 --> 00:04:01,720
Intel cor2 duo with 80 gigabyte hard drive

51
00:04:01,959 --> 00:04:05,959
oh God and 2 GB of

52
00:04:05,959 --> 00:04:12,079
RAM for 50 bucks though so it leaves me

53
00:04:09,799 --> 00:04:20,120
$250 to get a graphics card let me give them a

54
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,040
call this is why we don't make TV shows

55
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:30,000
it seems to be a pretty significant drop in price once you get to C2 Duo range so

56
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:35,600
I'm looking for that because I think that'll be fine for most of the games

57
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:37,800
it'll fall behind a bit for sure on uh

58
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,759
Tomb Raider are they going to come to concede defeat where are they going

59
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,680
they're not allowed to take out more money oh they're trying to film things

60
00:04:43,479 --> 00:04:51,039
better than just pointing the camera at me in the car how innovated that seems

61
00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:56,600
unnecessary whoa this could be oh is this that same freaking guy well he has

62
00:04:54,039 --> 00:04:59,160
a case he has a CX500 power supply too if I hear back from this guy I don't

63
00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:04,840
think Lou is going to think to check Kijiji okay

64
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,440
45 and then this is a combo and then

65
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:12,000
this is a combo whoa computer cases with power

66
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,000
supplies and other

67
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,440
Hardware phone calls only please all

68
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:23,600
right here we go hi hi you have a Craigslist listing

69
00:05:21,479 --> 00:05:27,520
for computer cases with power supplies and $10 or

70
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:31,800
something so do you have anything reasonably new with a 24 pin power

71
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,840
supply and compatibility for a microatx board like some kind of standard board

72
00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:40,919
or is it all going to be non-standard like Dell HP stuff that's an Athlon oh

73
00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:44,840
okay that's a little older than I need uh I'm looking for an entrylevel gaming

74
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:49,479
PC if you can just tell me what CPUs the systems that you have I'm very familiar

75
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:53,120
with the I'm very familiar with the hardware I know what I'm looking for I

76
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:58,240
just need to know what you have I can give you a contact with somebody who can

77
00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:00,680
s you the parts you need oh okay that

78
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:07,000
that might actually be very helpful mhm what's your name uh my name is lonus

79
00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:10,280
well if you want to build a a a

80
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:13,080
tower uh gaming tower so then you need

81
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:17,240
you need a fast motherboard you need fast

82
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:23,319
processor um but you realize that won't

83
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:25,319
be cheap like okay um yeah okay so what

84
00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:29,680
I'm trying to accomplish is today I want to find my platform so everything I'll

85
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:33,560
need and then tomorrow essentially I want to spend the entire time finding

86
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:40,240
the best possible price that I can on a GPU that's like my whole plan

87
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:42,479
tomorrow pick up I I just found another

88
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:47,560
uh computer same price it's actually $5 cheaper has a 450 W power supply that's

89
00:06:44,919 --> 00:06:50,560
probably fine uh 4 gigs of RAM so that's a slight Improvement there 4 gigs of RAM

90
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:56,400
that's probably good enough and then an e8400 again I'm kind of surprised he

91
00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:59,879
hasn't just tried to like leave and go into some little computer shop and get

92
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:04,599
them to give them a deal because of who he is that was my full expectation the

93
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:10,720
whole time and then he put up the rule that we can't use our

94
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:15,199
influence I was like Wow cuz that's exactly what I expected him to

95
00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:21,080
do so now I'm not sure how he's going to cheat I just know that he's going

96
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:26,120
to I never cheat I never cheat at all you know what

97
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:31,360
we should do is we should look really excited when we pull out and uh and we

98
00:07:29,919 --> 00:07:36,780
should look like we're heading somewhere okay we'll give them a little uh a

99
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:40,120
little farewell beep beep you

100
00:07:40,479 --> 00:07:51,000
know I don't even know how to use Craigslist first stop is going to be the

101
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:54,039
Salvation Army thrift store this isn't a

102
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:57,120
computer I'm

103
00:07:54,039 --> 00:08:00,560
screwed that was bad that was really bad

104
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,800
I hope Linus's time is not not

105
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:07,240
going I just throw the car under a semi we'll be okay we can avoid we can avoid

106
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:10,639
Judgment at the end of the at the end of the contest when we have no computer

107
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:16,000
because there's no computers at thrift shops and lonus magically found

108
00:08:12,479 --> 00:08:18,280
something on Craigslist I'm hoping that

109
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:23,199
they don't have like computer savvy employees so they might undervalue a

110
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:29,759
certain Tower compared to another one like they might price two of them at the same price and one of them is actually

111
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:31,240
clearly better fingers crossed

112
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:34,919
oh

113
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:40,399
no is this literally a clothing store

114
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:47,160
now we're going to get kicked out

115
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:51,240
anyways hi this the guy that's selling computer parts hi um I'm actually

116
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:56,160
contacting a few guys that are selling computer parts may I ask which one uh

117
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:59,920
you got the phone number on zilbert uh yeah that's right

118
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,560
hi I'm just generally looking for everything right now I don't have any of

119
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,680
the components locked in and I need to get everything by about midday tomorrow

120
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,839
it's a birthday presents what would we be looking at for something like a q6600

121
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:16,839
and a board oh something like that it's like

122
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:18,839
$80 still leaves me needing uh case

123
00:09:16,839 --> 00:09:22,680
power supply do you have any like super Cheapo stupid stuff yeah case and power

124
00:09:21,079 --> 00:09:27,839
supply okay I'm not worried about the case looking great um he doesn't see

125
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:34,120
real well well I can th the power supplying

126
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:36,320
tape in too for the 200 for the 200 um

127
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:40,200

128
00:09:38,839 --> 00:09:43,160
so I'll call you back in the next hour or so and I'll let you know if I'm going

129
00:09:41,839 --> 00:09:47,519
to come by tomorrow morning and pick the stuff up sounds like this might be the

130
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:51,800
deal that helps me out here all right thank you very much thanks man take care

131
00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:55,720
maybe it was worthwhile to listen to that life story after all we might have

132
00:09:53,959 --> 00:10:00,320
just gotten everything but a video card with a $100 budget for a graphics card

133
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:07,480
left over okay that might be like plus taxs cuz this is oh no well let's hope

134
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:10,920
it's not I got an email back from the guy that I actually wanted to respond

135
00:10:09,079 --> 00:10:15,519
the most this was the guy with the e8400 that had 4 GB of DDR3 as well and the

136
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:19,959
500 GB hard drive it's not the greatest price but that's an option he's

137
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:24,560
available right now which is good so I need to figure out if I can get

138
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:29,079
a what I can get for a graphics card for 220 bucks and if I can get

139
00:10:26,839 --> 00:10:34,560
something good enough which I think I can

140
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:37,639
I think I'll good with it l is speaking

141
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:40,800
oh hi um you emailed me about the hydro

142
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:43,240
yes I did oh hi hi it's nice to meet you

143
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:48,000
um I'm actually a fan of yours um I was wondering so what kind of price where

144
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:50,360
you looking at for the hyper I I I okay

145
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:55,480
I got to I got to be up front with you I can't leverage being me as a negotiation

146
00:10:53,600 --> 00:11:00,279
strategy so you have to pretend that I'm not who I am oh yeah no I understand

147
00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:08,000
yeah definitely but so I don't need a water cooled card I need an air cooled

148
00:11:02,279 --> 00:11:09,680
card um which means that since I I don't

149
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:15,160
have any budget left over for the rest of the system I pretty much have to get

150
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:21,399
an all-in-one liquid cooler for

151
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:25,279
$100 minus whatever I pay for your card

152
00:11:21,399 --> 00:11:27,040
right so that's where I'm at okay I have

153
00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:29,760
got no leads on an all-in-one liquid cooler and I have to have this done by

154
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:34,680
the end of the tomorrow okay oh well um have you looked

155
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:38,600
on Craigs for like cuz there's another guy who's selling the zman

156
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:46,600
cooler is there now pardon is yes there there is a one

157
00:11:42,839 --> 00:11:49,720
guy with the $20 zman cooler for the 580

158
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:51,519
I see that cuz that would be just like

159
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:57,959
an extra do like 20 bucks on top of my card right yeah can you do

160
00:11:53,959 --> 00:12:00,600

166
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:26,839
be in bernabe anyway like I'm doing a bit of a I'm doing a bit of computer

167
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:30,480
hardware pickup stuff tomorrow so oh okay uh I will be I'll be around so tell

168
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:34,600
you what why don't you just pick somewhere somewhere safe near wherever

172
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:53,920
thanks thank you can I get uh can I get an autograph just wondering that would

173
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:57,399
be no problem all right thanks I'll talk to you later then all right take care

174
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:06,279
thank you bye okay we have secured a GTX 580 for

175
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:11,800
$80 if they can get a slightly faster CPU than us like maybe an

176
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:14,320
1155 Core i5 quad core something along

177
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:18,480
those lines even if they have a slightly lesser video card they might still come

178
00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:24,160
out ahead if they get a similar video card better CPU then we're in real

179
00:13:20,959 --> 00:13:26,880
trouble but basically this is going to I

180
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:31,880
need to make sure our power supply has support for GTX 580

181
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:37,519
that's a pretty power hungry card I wonder what they're up

182
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:41,839
to hopefully spinning their wheels finding

183
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:43,880
nothing all right so I got the computer

184
00:13:41,839 --> 00:13:49,320
everything works he booted it up for me I got to inspect everything it's fine I

185
00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:53,399
didn't hle them down anymore so I got it for 80 bucks which I think is fine we'll

186
00:13:51,839 --> 00:13:57,839
have to see what lonus got but that seems like an okay deal for an 8,400

187
00:13:55,399 --> 00:14:00,880
computer to me the inside is really nice and clean so I was happy to see that

188
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:05,600
looks like he took good care of it or at least took good care of it right before

189
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:11,160
I got there not entirely sure which one but anyways um kind of baller RAM I

190
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:16,399
didn't expect this okay maybe not actually baller but it's goldplated well

191
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:21,680
not really goldplated gold painted um ocz memory which I thought was kind of

192
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:23,320
funny um there's the e8400 the fan CPU

193
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:27,320
fan and everything is an Immaculate condition which is great let me get this

194
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,880
back in here one quick second I thought it was kind of funny the optical drive

195
00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:37,360
isn't even hooked up but I wouldn't use it anyways so uh the power supply though

196
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:44,639
is kind of like the most sketchy balls thing ever it's a power link 450 watt

197
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:47,160
but yeah I don't know no PC power

198
00:14:44,639 --> 00:14:51,839
whatsoever um there's two molexes though so I can adapter off for that so I don't

199
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:56,199
know we'll just kind of have to see so this will be my base platform I'll see

200
00:14:53,480 --> 00:15:02,120
if I need to get a new power supply um and then yeah we'll go from there

201
00:14:59,759 --> 00:15:07,880
this is really awkward because I've just made appointments with our GTX 580 water

202
00:15:05,839 --> 00:15:13,040
cooled card and our cooler for it which are totaling $100 but someone just

203
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:18,079
accepted our offer for $100 on a $79.50 so I'm going to do a little bit

204
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:22,720
of research into overclocking the 580 and overclocking the 7950 but I'm going

205
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:27,120
to feel like a real bad dude but I might have to bail on those guys and take the

206
00:15:24,839 --> 00:15:33,600
better offer the problem is that now I have to go get it tonight which means I

207
00:15:29,399 --> 00:15:36,639
might have to take like the kids with me

208
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:40,319
so so did we decide about going to get

209
00:15:36,639 --> 00:15:42,920
things tonight uh yes no you can't I

210
00:15:40,319 --> 00:15:47,600
can't well that's very interesting then I have a call to make also you can't uh

211
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:53,639
do any more craigslisting stuff you're after six so get off the

212
00:15:51,079 --> 00:15:59,120
computer you're cheating already I'm not cheating what are you doing right

213
00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:01,680
now replying to a message there was an

214
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:04,199
okay I I had to I had no I had to do other stuff I've been back here for a

215

dicks he L has Terence got that big 4k monitor can I have that now

219
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:26,959
no this is 4K and that's not 4K any

220
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:31,680
sorry I can't come down to get anything tonight so I might have to pass um if

221
00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:39,639
anything changes I will I will give a call tomorrow to uh to let you know um

222
00:16:35,759 --> 00:16:41,319
if it comes to that then if it's not too

223
00:16:39,639 --> 00:16:44,880
much to ask maybe take the card out with you and I could come to you wherever you

224
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:48,639
happen to be cuz it's a bit of a scavenger hunt situation I've got going

225
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:54,759
on thanks uh my number is 31011 Pizza Hut good

226
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:59,440
night there I'm done for the night

227
00:16:54,759 --> 00:16:59,440
there it's all I'm doing tonight

228
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:09,520
next time on scrapyard Wars lonus gets a tetus shot Luke gets mugged and Nick

229
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:15,360
fights a dingo oh no stick off you bloody dingo uh none of that actually

230
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:19,400
happens or does it previously on

231
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:22,039
scrapyard Wars $300 cash the very best

232
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:25,919
gaming rig that we can build that seems like an okay deal for an 8,400 computer

233
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:31,840
to me someone just accepted our offer for $100 on a $79.50 sorry I can't come

234
00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:37,840
down to get anything tonight so I might have to pass um if anything and now the

235
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,840
conclusion or part of

236
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,840
it I've got a 500 wat antech power

237
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:52,640
supply that we're headed to pick up right now and then the r9290 I got for

238
00:17:49,559 --> 00:17:54,919
180 so that's actually pretty sweet we

239
00:17:52,640 --> 00:18:02,240
will go pick that up later did he say 290 is that fast what's a graphics card

240
00:17:58,919 --> 00:18:03,960
okay so it's day two of our search and

241
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:08,240
uh we've got to find out where our destination is so I'm not exactly sure

242
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:13,039
where we're going okay I have the address for our first

243
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:21,240
appointment on my laptop which battery is

244
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:26,240
low uh scrapyard Wars

245
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:30,080
one there we go now we're

246
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:34,559
good okay I really hope that's not

247
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:38,000
it I think it might be holy crap this is

248
00:18:34,559 --> 00:18:43,880
some sketch going the ghetto okay so

249
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:43,880
this is 53 32 holy

250
00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:51,120
crap this is like this is some sketchy

251
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:56,280
de it's a good thing they're inviting Open Door no parking well they

252
00:18:55,080 --> 00:19:00,120
parked in front of it where like where does this door go I don't know there's

253
00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:06,520
some in there though hello hi are you Santa yes hi I'm

254
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:11,159
lonus lus nice to meet you nice to meet you too this is uh Nick he can turn off

255
00:19:09,039 --> 00:19:17,039
the camera if you want no cameras today that's fine yeah so our contact here got

256
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:22,039
us pretty hooked up actually he had the whole thing running on a test bench to

257
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:25,880
show that it booted up and had core temp CPU Zed installed and everything so we

258
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:31,480
could validate that everything's good to go so this is an ep35 d s3r a pretty

259
00:19:30,159 --> 00:19:37,200
decent little board it's got an extra chip on there for SATA 2 raid uh we've

260
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:39,159
got 8 gigs of uh what appears to be y

261
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:46,360
mix and match so we've got half Samsung half Kingston ddr2 800 there's a q6600

262
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:49,360
on there with a cooler um and then we

263
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:51,720
also just thrown in got what appears to

264
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:57,640
be the remains of a freezer 7 I think we can make use of that with uh with an

265
00:19:54,480 --> 00:20:00,280
extra fan or something along those lines

266
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:04,280
and then we also got an earth Watts 500 wat power supply which was uh better

267
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:08,159
than I was expecting I actually didn't know what model of power supply we were

268
00:20:05,919 --> 00:20:12,159
going to get but this is got two PCI six pin connectors on it so that means that

269
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:17,559
powering our graphics card later isn't going to be a problem at all and then I

270
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:23,320
thought we were getting a 500 gig uh hard drive and we actually ended up with

271
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:25,960
a 1 TB hard drive so uh oh yeah right in

272
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:32,039
the case so there were a few sort of Cooler Master Elite Class options or

273
00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:33,919
there was a Silverstone tj4 that happens

274
00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:39,640
to be missing a couple of bay covers well I have some Bay covers we got a

275
00:20:37,559 --> 00:20:45,360
card reader a floppy Drive yeah

276
00:20:41,799 --> 00:20:47,919
baby so uh oh and look the Vancouver

277
00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:52,679
Olympic mascots that was a bonus I didn't even have to pay extra for that

278
00:20:50,559 --> 00:20:56,360
all right so I'm feeling pretty good we just need the rest of this day to go

279
00:20:53,960 --> 00:21:00,960
well still need a graphics card so I just got my uh antech basic power 500 W

280
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:05,840
continuous power power supply which is exactly what I was looking for looks like it's in good shape clean happy with

281
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,640
all that kind of stuff while I was talking to the guy though I was like

282
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:14,000
yeah thanks for doing this like I know it's really short notice cuz I just emailed them this morning and it was his

283
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:17,360
dad or whatever um and he's like yeah it's been an interesting day someone was

284
00:21:15,919 --> 00:21:22,880
just here picking up a case in power supply like 20 minutes

285
00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:28,600
ago what who do you think that is there's like no way that isn't lonus

286
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,880
except it wasn't man we're probably so

287
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:33,559
so close oh that would have been so funny

288
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:37,679
if we were picking stuff up at the same time anyways let's let's go get some

289
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:43,720
lunch cuz you know we're having a chill day they're probably freaking out driving

290
00:21:39,679 --> 00:21:46,200
everywhere so I had multiple leads on 79

291
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:51,919
50s for $100 and then I actually ended up with two GTX 580s lined up for $100 I

292
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:57,600
decided I wanted $ 7950 so I bailed on all the 580s I got back to what looked

293
00:21:54,760 --> 00:22:03,200
like a very promising 7950 lead and then heard nothing so this guy who's actually

294
00:22:00,159 --> 00:22:05,919
going to be on different job sites today

295
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:10,240
but I asked him very nicely yesterday to bring it with him in case I need it I'm

296
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:13,679
going to try and track him down next after we go meet up with the guy who I

297
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:18,240
promised t-shirts to technically I don't think we're

298
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:25,240
allowed to use anything that we didn't get but Luke will never know that I used

299
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:29,840
my own uh yeah that's true and we can

300
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:32,919
always just lie to L right yes lying

301
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:35,320
less liess it's right in

302
00:22:32,919 --> 00:22:39,240
there so we just arrived to meet up with them I was trying to figure out how to

303
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:47,559
tell them I don't have the right shirt turns out I did grab the right

304
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:49,720
shirts we do have lus Tech tip shirts so

305
00:22:47,559 --> 00:22:54,360
uh this will be this will be a lot more successful than it otherwise would have

306
00:22:51,799 --> 00:22:56,120
been let go ah hello

307
00:22:56,120 --> 00:23:01,120
gentlemen nice to meet you

308
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:07,679
sorry I wasn't able to take the card unfortunately but uh so I found a 7950

309
00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:15,120
which gives me about a 10% Edge in GPU performance so I got to take it um my my

310
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:17,159
plan for this if I didn't get the zelman

311
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:22,000
uh was I was just going to rip the block off and use like a stock Intel heat sink

312
00:23:20,039 --> 00:23:26,520
on the GPU core or something which would have been awesome and like super ghetto

313
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:31,240
but I found a 7950 so I kind of had to take it but um had said you wanted me to

314
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:38,159
sign something as well I brought a silver pen

315
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:40,760
smartass there thank you the real

316
00:23:38,159 --> 00:23:45,760
lus all right since I showed up and didn't

317
00:23:43,039 --> 00:23:48,640
didn't buy anything actually all right well it's a pleasure to meet you

318
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:52,600
gentlemen we've got to get to our next appointment here and uh going to go get

319
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:56,000
like a hot chocolate or something but I'll see you gems

320
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:01,440
later wow cuz we're we not 5 minutes

321
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:08,520
early we're 9 minutes early it is now

322
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:10,320
1:40 he were supposed to be here at

323
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:13,679
1:15 so he just texted me saying he'll be

324
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:24,080
here in 1 minute um but I'm like it's fine I guess

325
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:29,960
1:45 I got it but he's super late we got to

326
00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:34,399
go I don't like it when people are late I especially don't like it when they're

327
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:39,799
that late and when I like clearly stated that it was important and I needed to go

328
00:24:39,799 --> 00:24:46,240
early 7950 guy said he'd call us back in

329
00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:50,159
10 minutes and that was uh 18 minutes

330
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:52,640
ago now the guy we just met with that we

331
00:24:50,159 --> 00:24:58,799
gave the T-shirt to he has the 580 hydrocopper so what I'm thinking I

332
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:02,840
haven't seen him leave yet not that I'm parked outside the Starbucks like

333
00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:10,559
stalking someone I haven't seen him leave yet um so if I don't hear back

334
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:12,679
from 7950 guy that's our backup plan and

335
00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:16,600
we take that and then we try and get in touch with zelman cooler guy again and

336
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:22,080
and we go for it cuz that's down in Richmond uh which is kind of far but but

337
00:25:19,159 --> 00:25:25,600
definitely doable line is speaking okay I'll be there in about half an hour as

338
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:31,880
well um there you are so let's have a look at our spoils as long as it works

339
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:37,760
this will be the only piece we haven't validated this is a pretty beefy looking

340
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:40,559
card this is a mostly rear exhaust style

341
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:48,480
card so it's got the uh it's got the cooling fan just above the uh vrm

342
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:51,480
cooling piece right here all right I am

343
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:53,159
feeling good I don't know if this is

344
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:57,919
technically cheating cuz it's just an aesthetic thing but uh I'm going to try

345
00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:01,600
and find some aluminum face plates I actually have some boxes of random junk

346
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:06,000
that I'm taking to the office this is like a $40 piece that realistically I

347
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:12,480
wasn't Luke's not going to believe I salvaged or got for nothing

348
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:15,159
these are what I actually

349
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:21,600
need yeah okay all right so I'm thinking we'll do

350
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:24,840
the buildoff in here so one person will

351
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:27,679
take this desk surface and then the

352
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:31,919
other person will set up a couple desks here and then we can use our pile of

353
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:37,440
computer cases um to construct like a like a wall

354
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:42,080
a wall like a barrier so that neither of us can see what the other is doing so

355
00:26:39,559 --> 00:26:49,200
we've been back at HQ already for like 2 hours and uh Luke and uh Brandon are

356
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:55,360
nowhere to be seen they said we can start building at 3: so given that it's

357
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:58,660
2:30 right now we're pretty close so

358
00:26:55,360 --> 00:27:14,430
let's get set up

359
00:27:18,799 --> 00:27:25,679
what is is going to be mad I'm excited this is going to be awesome that's what

360
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:29,919
I said before we turned the camera on and now we're doing it again it's fake

361
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:36,240
but it is what I legitimately said so is it fake I don't know no one

362
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:40,159
knows okay so are we doing the Parts the part show off I already did oh even

363
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:45,120
though we have no alcohol and no cleaning cloths I found this napkin on

364
00:27:43,559 --> 00:27:49,960
the floor oh that's weird it doesn't have a model number maybe this is an

365
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:52,960
unreleased processor I I justest it has

366
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:56,720
a model number so there's our CPU that's

367
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,720
going to be a phenomenal

368
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:03,919
performer here's our RAM okay here's our other

369
00:28:03,919 --> 00:28:08,919
RAM all right here's our third set of

370
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:17,240
RAM our fourth set of

371
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:21,760
RAM and our eighth set of RAM and our

372
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,760
12th set of RAM and our

373
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:30,120
18th he's got a little bit of a viewing Port back there I got to be careful he

374
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:35,279
can see around that corner quite easily and he's a little rasy devil got to be

375
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,279
careful with that

376
00:28:38,919 --> 00:28:46,360
one that's the sound of a quality side

377
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,360
panel being dropped right

378
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:53,640
there I would only drop it like that if I wasn't worried about damaging it

379
00:28:50,799 --> 00:28:58,919
because I have so many cases I bought six cases I thought that would probably

380
00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:00,440
be about about par yeah you probably

381
00:28:58,919 --> 00:29:06,080
only bought six cases because you're going to need six cases to end up with a

382
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:08,399
fully functional one yeah next time on

383
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:13,279
scrapyard Wars Luke runs out of gas in the bad part of town Nick fights the

384
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:16,320
Statue of Liberty yeah I just don't really like

385
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:26,679
Freedom this is kind of neat I have cable managed this case um a good dozen

386
00:29:23,919 --> 00:29:32,039
or two times before this is actually a case with which I am into familiar so um

387
00:29:30,679 --> 00:29:40,080
I'm I'm pretty excited about the opportunity to work in it again it's been quite some time now it does have

388
00:29:36,399 --> 00:29:42,679
toolless uh Bays here but they are not

389
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:47,880
exactly the world's most elegant system this I won't

390
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:50,159
need so we're just going to pry this

391
00:29:50,159 --> 00:29:55,320
up so this is actually not the correct

392
00:29:53,159 --> 00:30:00,840
threading for this piece so we're kind of creating our own threads as we go

393
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:05,600
lonus has to clean out his entire PC to get started while Luke only has three

394
00:30:03,039 --> 00:30:12,080
parts to pop in to start overclocking we're not sure what the outcome of this

395
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:12,080
will be but we do know it will be close

396
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:41,559
he just isn't cleaning his stuff cuz he didn't find an advantage rag like I did

397
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:45,080
yeah see Advantage Rags are not real so

398
00:30:41,559 --> 00:30:47,480
lus is obviously in a stage of denial at

399
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:51,080
the moment if it wasn't real how could I hold it in my hand

400
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:12,039
or we can try and jury rig this uh well we can take this off

401
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:16,200
without damaging it without without too

402
00:31:12,039 --> 00:31:16,200
much I think we should go for

403
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:22,639
it fle around for a little bit do a little bit research see what this chip

404
00:31:20,399 --> 00:31:28,799
is capable of see what this board is capable of see what see I hear them

405
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,919
Whispering as if that'll help

406
00:31:28,799 --> 00:31:34,440
I mean the shopping stage is done Luke so uh you know the fact that you have

407
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:39,480
crap Hardware uh no amount of keeping it

408
00:31:37,159 --> 00:31:45,039
secret is going to keep it secret forever and then I'll tease you oh yeah

409
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:50,120
I forgot about that I'm sorry oh shoot I hope this has the right mounting

410
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:52,799
hardware in oh hold

411
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:57,960
on okay so these are a little uh these are a little worse for the wear right

412
00:31:54,880 --> 00:32:01,159
here so there here's a little trick just

413
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:06,120
give them the old

414
00:32:01,159 --> 00:32:09,039
that so here we can

415
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:11,639
oh that is some rookie stuff right there I forgot

416
00:32:15,919 --> 00:32:25,159
this I don't have time for his Shenanigans at this point in the

417
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:29,679
competition because winners do not

418
00:32:25,159 --> 00:32:33,159
consort with people who don't win as

419
00:32:29,679 --> 00:32:35,240
hard they don't consort with them yeah

420
00:32:33,159 --> 00:32:38,919
that's right ah shoot got it in there

421
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:45,760
once therefore I can do it again and that is why I have two

422
00:32:47,279 --> 00:32:54,000
children yeah the only one around here with proof of his

423
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:59,840
virility how do you know cuz your mother would kill you if the other

424
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,840
way he good point

425
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:10,240
no no he's right my mom would kill me you'd be dead y you'd actually be dead

426
00:33:12,919 --> 00:33:18,340
yep did we bring out any zip ties no but

427
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:22,760
there might be some in the screw

428
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:27,200
bin that'll do it

429
00:33:29,919 --> 00:33:33,559
okay oh

430
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:40,720
yeah oh that is a thing of beauty right

431
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:48,639
there fantastic oh I'm feeling good

432
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:56,120
today yeah man my Mini Wheats are like I

433
00:33:53,720 --> 00:34:03,399
ate them I crapped them out I ate them again I took a picture put on Instagram

434
00:33:59,679 --> 00:34:05,120
e this was a real score like this was

435
00:34:03,399 --> 00:34:09,320
probably worth a good chunk of the budget right

436
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:13,919
there coming along just nicely why don't you get the hell out of

437
00:34:11,919 --> 00:34:18,800
here spy we don't hate you over here we

438
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:23,960
accept your kind yeah losers are stuck hanging out with the other

439
00:34:20,839 --> 00:34:25,919
losers this is real good this is

440
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:30,599
trustworthy that's the difference between this and snakes in the grass

441
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,599
like

442
00:34:31,839 --> 00:34:38,399
Luke oh I should have done this before I did the other thing oh oh I don't know

443
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:43,399
if it's going to reach are you missing my epic struggle

444
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:50,399
over here never mind

445
00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:53,919
yes oh yeah that table

446
00:34:50,399 --> 00:34:55,760
management all right um all right now we

447
00:34:53,919 --> 00:34:59,839
did specifically say that there would be demerit points for leaving the garage

448
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:07,200
and I don't need to leave the but I do need to walk over here so I'm ating my

449
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:09,160
eyes Burl will Burl will hold this box

450
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:14,000
or Taran is he still here okay well someone someone will Burl

451
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:18,240
will supervise me here I got see my blinders yeah okay I got my blinders

452
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:30,440
on this box right here is called the fun

453
00:35:26,359 --> 00:35:33,839
box because there's a chair on top of

454
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:36,760
it for some

455
00:35:33,839 --> 00:35:41,079
reason all right see this is something Luke wouldn't even think of needing

456
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,280
probably cuz I wouldn't need it cuz I'm not

457
00:35:46,119 --> 00:35:50,560
terrible nice one of

458
00:35:51,720 --> 00:36:00,000
these oh yeah oh yeah

459
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:02,200
let's get the oh yeah moment there we go all

460
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:10,280
right so you got a system fired up over there I hear keyboard Strokes no not at

461
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:15,210
all I didn't finish installing all my drivers like half an hour

462
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:24,119
ago oh what's that sound is that a hard drive oh interesting well I wouldn't

463
00:36:22,119 --> 00:36:28,520
know what a hard drive sounds like I mean I'm all solid state over here man

464
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:36,480
here we go changed to 340 with the magic hands I think it'll boot fine

465
00:36:39,839 --> 00:36:44,750
now okay uh here's the moment we've all

466
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:50,359
been waiting for mhm

467
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:54,359
mhm what oh

468
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:11,760
you done setting your downloads yet um small problem I mean it's not a

469
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:16,520
big problem it's just a small

470
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:20,680
one okay oh yes oh yes we got this this

471
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:22,040
is good so I don't think we have that no

472
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:26,520
we don't um I wonder what we can get out of

473
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:31,560
this baby wow it's been a really long

474
00:37:32,359 --> 00:37:40,200
time no we're not going to quite go for that go

475
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:42,760
for about that we going to go for how

476
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,760
about

477
00:37:53,599 --> 00:37:59,440
that instead of aiming for like ultimate why don't we aim for like hi

478
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:04,440
I think we should go ultimate you want you want to go ultimate yeah well that

479
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:09,839
tells go Max possible settings in every game that tells me a lot about the uh

480
00:38:06,599 --> 00:38:11,119
the way you weighted your uh your system

481
00:38:09,839 --> 00:38:16,400
I don't know how much it'll show on screen but uh don't my screen oh

482
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:26,160
okay oh wow this takes a while to

483
00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:33,520
load okay hm H look what happened

484
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:37,359
there I literally didn't even change anything I'm going to turn this

485
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:44,119
off I opened After Burner and typed in a number didn't press enter and the screen

486
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:50,860
went black oh all right here goes yeah

487
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:59,179
there's nothing on screen

488
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:07,240
oh oh

489
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:10,200
oh oh come on what happened you take

490
00:39:07,240 --> 00:39:14,880
your you take your attempt I'll uh I'll shut her down it looks like I might need

491
00:39:11,720 --> 00:39:18,400
to dial back

492
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:21,960
thing crash number one has happened no

493
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:25,160
that's two crashes I wasn't benching yet

494
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:26,640
oh you said that like it was it's

495
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:30,200
horrible don't worry mine didn't even start yet my computer's better under

496
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:33,760
load it's like a rotary engine I got to get up to a certain RPM before the

497
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:39,319
computer actually runs properly I might be blaming you for this

498
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:42,280
what happened I I did nothing oh whenever I open executables the screen

499
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:45,960
goes black I was working on this last night and it was fine I haven't touched

500
00:39:44,079 --> 00:39:50,960
it unless I came back here in the middle of the night I've been supervised the

501
00:39:48,079 --> 00:39:56,760
entire time I've been here probably massively overused in so

502
00:39:54,680 --> 00:40:02,319
this has an FPS counter on it I guess we're going to see my score so you might

503
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:02,319
as well uh check it

504
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,760
out that

505
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:25,480
tearing whoa oh that artifacting does

506
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:31,020
that count against me I don't know I kind of I don't know

507
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,160
I think that's just part of

508
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:38,319
the frankly I can't tell oh no there's

509
00:40:35,599 --> 00:40:44,079
some oh okay all right I think I think we have to call this one

510
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,079
off okay all

511
00:40:45,319 --> 00:40:51,160
right seriously and then uh seriously

512
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:56,319
it's just load Up 3D Mark

513
00:40:53,920 --> 00:41:00,160
here well I think I know something about his system I'm fairly sure that's a

514
00:40:58,319 --> 00:41:05,599
reference cooler that is a sound I've heard before it has a particular

515
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:05,599
tonality to

516
00:41:06,119 --> 00:41:13,640
it what oh it's terrible that doesn't seem

517
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:21,420
right it's not running in a full no that's fine all right

518
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:22,920
so how how is yours here that's looking

519
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:29,040
higher want we turn the fans feet down and try it

520
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:34,079
again you still have to run actual games don't be too smug this is a graphics

521
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:39,920
Benchmark I'm just happy I won one of them by like a lot like two times was

522
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:44,359
that is that how that math works I think that was about two

523
00:41:44,359 --> 00:41:52,119
times oh yeah that's a crash unless your FPS is

524
00:41:51,079 --> 00:41:57,880
uh 1,600 1900 2200 in counting getting

525
00:41:56,040 --> 00:42:02,599
speed 2600 it's ramping up do you see do you see

526
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:04,359
this clear glitching 100 times glitch

527
00:42:02,599 --> 00:42:07,599
exploit wait no I'm trying to get it to 200 times speed in a couple seconds here

528
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:11,119
all right why don't you go ahead and shut that down and I'll take a run at

529
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:23,559
this this is the physics

530
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:28,839
test yeah you didn't know there was a physics test did you suck I did actually

531
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,839
oh all right

532
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:39,760
so 5866 is the mark to beat okay the

533
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:44,760
first successful run that's still higher it's not as

534
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:49,079
higher no still higher I might have been

535
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:53,559
drawing too much power that a hard drive is horrible I know like everything's

536
00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:59,119
kind of working properly I didn't it did it start walking though I feel like it

537
00:42:55,079 --> 00:42:59,119
started walking I don't know

538
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:05,440
cuz remember yeah it was counting FPS and it

539
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:11,400
crashed look at my signs but look at the signs still

540
00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:12,960
flicker not nearly as much though I'm

541
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:17,000
not I'm not saying a deduction plan all right here we go physics

542
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:20,680
test oh dear so what were you getting here 17 or something yeah

543
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:32,599
okay that is terrible ooh that looks pretty smooth

544
00:43:28,839 --> 00:43:32,599
you know what you're

545
00:43:33,079 --> 00:43:45,559
oh oh the mountains start falling you get really bad you get

546
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:49,920
owned wow what did you get 5866 I

547
00:43:45,559 --> 00:43:49,920
think what have you got

548
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:59,040
5745 what the hell is this

549
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:04,839
don't yeah just run it just run it and then we'll and then I'll go online I'll

550
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,839
see if that

551
00:44:09,319 --> 00:44:18,760
helps fourth that's appropriate wow

552
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:20,160
average FPS 66.6 minimum 46.9 6 that's a

553
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:25,280
pretty respectable minimum I don't know how bottlenecked you're going to be

554
00:44:22,319 --> 00:44:31,480
there getting smooth I'm guessing 73 73 you're going to get you know I'm

555
00:44:28,559 --> 00:44:37,960
going to guess minimum 58 yeah I'm not going to guess at the

556
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,960
average

557
00:44:38,359 --> 00:44:50,839
who oh son son you just got

558
00:44:50,839 --> 00:45:01,440
wrecked okay so here's Luke's results Min 39 average 63.3

559
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:07,400
here's Linus's results Min

560
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:10,119
56 who average 82.1 all right oh oh wow

561
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:13,599
deduction points for really bad I originally thought you had a 7950 now

562
00:45:12,079 --> 00:45:19,359
I'm pretty sure you have a 7970 which means you spent about half of

563
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:22,079
your budget on your graphics card I

564
00:45:19,359 --> 00:45:28,960
think I know for sure you have you're wrong 100% wrong I know for sure you

565
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:34,319
have a dual course CPU because you because you got absolutely destroyed you

566
00:45:31,599 --> 00:45:40,720
must have ddr2 and I think you've got four gigs of

567
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:40,720
RAM you how did you get a

568
00:45:42,559 --> 00:45:51,880
290 the the thing that's going to blow your mind though I have a q6600 ah I was

569
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:54,119
right oh what yeah and that that that

570
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:56,319
RAM and the dual core I think was the dual core was a little rough but I

571
00:45:55,200 --> 00:46:02,480
didn't think you were going to come out with a quad yeah I got a quad I got a

572
00:45:59,559 --> 00:46:05,640
quad so really the big winner the big winner would have been probably a

573
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:11,880
combination of the two they could get a 290 a q6600 8 gigs of RAM a good quality

574
00:46:09,319 --> 00:46:15,319
power supply an aluminum fronted case if we took my card out of my system and put

575
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:19,400
it in here which is what that would have been that would be a pretty sick machine

576
00:46:17,359 --> 00:46:22,599
for 380 bucks and that's still cheaper than all the consoles we looked at and

577
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:29,040
you could still buy one or two games to equal the console price I me I think for

578
00:46:25,720 --> 00:46:32,200
$300 if if you can build a rig like this

579
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:34,119
then guys like there is at the you know

580
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:38,280
it's funny and I guess we'll make this the conclusion for this we get this a

581
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:43,559
lot where people uh criticize us for focusing really on the high-end stuff

582
00:46:41,240 --> 00:46:47,920
and uh and the brands that make the most sense at the high end and they ask us

583
00:46:46,079 --> 00:46:52,880
well why is that there's such great value stuff out there on the low end and

584
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:56,920
the answer is that if either of us were going to build a $500 machine we' do

585
00:46:55,119 --> 00:47:00,960
something like this we would do this we wouldn't be buying new I would have done

586
00:46:59,559 --> 00:47:05,119
exactly what I did for the graphics card try and find one that I can get which

587
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:10,240
shouldn't be that cheap and then I would have not rush purchased that setup cuz

588
00:47:08,359 --> 00:47:13,880
it came with a terrible motherboard cuz if you're smart and you're a good

589
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:19,440
shopper both of us were doing this at the same time with only 48 hours to turn

590
00:47:17,240 --> 00:47:24,640
around all of these deals not even we realistically only had 7 or eight hours

591
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:28,760
to contact people and pick up things and like go get them we ended up with

592
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:33,760
machines we could easily resell for more than what we paid and to match this

593
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:39,720
performance buying new from the store would cost at least 50% more or more so

594
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:45,119
there you go guys used Hardware good value this was fun this was really fun

595
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:48,839
but you got wrecked you got wrecked son that quadcore man that quadcore is

596
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:53,640
pretty Beast so thanks for watching guys this has been the very first round of

597
00:47:51,599 --> 00:47:57,200
