all right welcome to Scrapyard Wars where uh Luke and I try to build the
best computers we can with a set of guidelines and a fixed budget so uh this
is our first episode we're looking for a lot of feedback from you guys about what
we can do to make these fun and interesting in the future but for today's challenge we are keeping it very
simple $300 cash the very best gaming
rig that we can build with a few rules
so number one is no monitor or other peripherals required we only have to
build the tower no worker research can be pre-done so you can't like go on
websites or Craigslist and try to find things before or in between each
participant gets a total of eight hours to actually find everything and then 4
hours to build it tune it and Benchmark it and I'm not paying any overtime on
this so we are staying inside those guidelines no leveraging friends uh
social media contacts co-workers or anything of that sort overclocking is
allowed we'll be measuring performance of the machines using 3D Mark fire
strike Tomb Raider 2013 and Dirt 3 and
along with the no peripherals thing it's just a tower that you need no operating
system or anything like that so let's get to it shall
we
Wars here we
go you have exceeded your daily transaction limit please take your
receipt I see deine f
um okay then I'm going go
inside I have the
cashola there you are thank you all right let's go shall
we good
luck I should have known he'd never fall for that I'm fairly sure he's going to
waste time going back to the office I brought a laptop with me so I will begin
immediately I really hope it's charged
there's a store somewhere in Vancouver I think it's called reboot um it's a non
for-profit little store thing that kind of refurbishes computers and sells
computers and does kind of cheap repairs and stuff for people that need it and I
think if I can participate in this contest and support a company that tries
to like they do really cheap computer repairs and I know they try to like I
think they do some charity giving computers to people and stuff if I can
help them out get a cheap computer from them and participate in the contest then
that's doing many things well at once so
I'm going to try and see if I can do that I'm going to contact them figure
out what their hours are and go from there now we're rocking
here Jesus
all right so should we start on Red Flag deals used to be used to be a haunt for
me I used to find a lot of good stuff there the lonus tech tips byy sell trade
that Craigslist do you want me to call Anthony uh oh that no we're not allowed
to leverage friends this is where the like Montage Music has to come
in just buy a lap
top that might be the best we can do and
then this guy also had uh hard drive for
20 bucks oh he looks detected does he okay
good excellent
78 that means literally nothing so an
Intel cor2 duo with 80 gigabyte hard drive
oh God and 2 GB of
RAM for 50 bucks though so it leaves me
$250 to get a graphics card let me give them a
call this is why we don't make TV shows
it seems to be a pretty significant drop in price once you get to C2 Duo range so
I'm looking for that because I think that'll be fine for most of the games
it'll fall behind a bit for sure on uh
Tomb Raider are they going to come to concede defeat where are they going
they're not allowed to take out more money oh they're trying to film things
better than just pointing the camera at me in the car how innovated that seems
unnecessary whoa this could be oh is this that same freaking guy well he has
a case he has a CX500 power supply too if I hear back from this guy I don't
think Lou is going to think to check Kijiji okay
45 and then this is a combo and then
this is a combo whoa computer cases with power
supplies and other
Hardware phone calls only please all
right here we go hi hi you have a Craigslist listing
for computer cases with power supplies and $10 or
something so do you have anything reasonably new with a 24 pin power
supply and compatibility for a microatx board like some kind of standard board
or is it all going to be non-standard like Dell HP stuff that's an Athlon oh
okay that's a little older than I need uh I'm looking for an entrylevel gaming
PC if you can just tell me what CPUs the systems that you have I'm very familiar
with the I'm very familiar with the hardware I know what I'm looking for I
just need to know what you have I can give you a contact with somebody who can
s you the parts you need oh okay that
that might actually be very helpful mhm what's your name uh my name is lonus
well if you want to build a a a
tower uh gaming tower so then you need
you need a fast motherboard you need fast
processor um but you realize that won't
be cheap like okay um yeah okay so what
I'm trying to accomplish is today I want to find my platform so everything I'll
need and then tomorrow essentially I want to spend the entire time finding
the best possible price that I can on a GPU that's like my whole plan
tomorrow pick up I I just found another
uh computer same price it's actually $5 cheaper has a 450 W power supply that's
probably fine uh 4 gigs of RAM so that's a slight Improvement there 4 gigs of RAM
that's probably good enough and then an e8400 again I'm kind of surprised he
hasn't just tried to like leave and go into some little computer shop and get
them to give them a deal because of who he is that was my full expectation the
whole time and then he put up the rule that we can't use our
influence I was like Wow cuz that's exactly what I expected him to
do so now I'm not sure how he's going to cheat I just know that he's going
to I never cheat I never cheat at all you know what
we should do is we should look really excited when we pull out and uh and we
should look like we're heading somewhere okay we'll give them a little uh a
little farewell beep beep you
know I don't even know how to use Craigslist first stop is going to be the
Salvation Army thrift store this isn't a
computer I'm
screwed that was bad that was really bad
I hope Linus's time is not not
going I just throw the car under a semi we'll be okay we can avoid we can avoid
Judgment at the end of the at the end of the contest when we have no computer
because there's no computers at thrift shops and lonus magically found
something on Craigslist I'm hoping that
they don't have like computer savvy employees so they might undervalue a
certain Tower compared to another one like they might price two of them at the same price and one of them is actually
clearly better fingers crossed
oh
no is this literally a clothing store
now we're going to get kicked out
anyways hi this the guy that's selling computer parts hi um I'm actually
contacting a few guys that are selling computer parts may I ask which one uh
you got the phone number on zilbert uh yeah that's right
hi I'm just generally looking for everything right now I don't have any of
the components locked in and I need to get everything by about midday tomorrow
it's a birthday presents what would we be looking at for something like a q6600
and a board oh something like that it's like
$80 still leaves me needing uh case
power supply do you have any like super Cheapo stupid stuff yeah case and power
supply okay I'm not worried about the case looking great um he doesn't see
real well well I can th the power supplying
tape in too for the 200 for the 200 um
you know what I will call you back before the end of your shop time today
so I'll call you back in the next hour or so and I'll let you know if I'm going
to come by tomorrow morning and pick the stuff up sounds like this might be the
deal that helps me out here all right thank you very much thanks man take care
maybe it was worthwhile to listen to that life story after all we might have
just gotten everything but a video card with a $100 budget for a graphics card
left over okay that might be like plus taxs cuz this is oh no well let's hope
it's not I got an email back from the guy that I actually wanted to respond
the most this was the guy with the e8400 that had 4 GB of DDR3 as well and the
500 GB hard drive it's not the greatest price but that's an option he's
available right now which is good so I need to figure out if I can get
a what I can get for a graphics card for 220 bucks and if I can get
something good enough which I think I can
I think I'll good with it l is speaking
oh hi um you emailed me about the hydro
yes I did oh hi hi it's nice to meet you
um I'm actually a fan of yours um I was wondering so what kind of price where
you looking at for the hyper I I I okay
I got to I got to be up front with you I can't leverage being me as a negotiation
strategy so you have to pretend that I'm not who I am oh yeah no I understand
yeah definitely but so I don't need a water cooled card I need an air cooled
card um which means that since I I don't
have any budget left over for the rest of the system I pretty much have to get
an all-in-one liquid cooler for
$100 minus whatever I pay for your card
right so that's where I'm at okay I have
got no leads on an all-in-one liquid cooler and I have to have this done by
the end of the tomorrow okay oh well um have you looked
on Craigs for like cuz there's another guy who's selling the zman
cooler is there now pardon is yes there there is a one
guy with the $20 zman cooler for the 580
I see that cuz that would be just like
an extra do like 20 bucks on top of my card right yeah can you do
80 H sure I yeah I guess I could yeah
okay can I pick it up uh can I pick it up today or tomorrow um how about
tomorrow can I come tomorrow morning um sure tomorrow morning yeah sounds good
um where do you want to meet up uh
you're in Richmond correct uh no I'm in Burnaby actually you're in Burnaby well
yeah I can meet like uh where where can you meet actually I think I'm going to
be in bernabe anyway like I'm doing a bit of a I'm doing a bit of computer
hardware pickup stuff tomorrow so oh okay uh I will be I'll be around so tell
you what why don't you just pick somewhere somewhere safe near wherever
it is you live like a Starbucks or whatever and then uh just let me let me
know you've got my number so if you just text me the address and what time works for you I'll be there tomorrow morning
sure um awesome sounds good then I'll do 80 sounds good okay all right all right
thanks thank you can I get uh can I get an autograph just wondering that would
be no problem all right thanks I'll talk to you later then all right take care
thank you bye okay we have secured a GTX 580 for
$80 if they can get a slightly faster CPU than us like maybe an
1155 Core i5 quad core something along
those lines even if they have a slightly lesser video card they might still come
out ahead if they get a similar video card better CPU then we're in real
trouble but basically this is going to I
need to make sure our power supply has support for GTX 580
that's a pretty power hungry card I wonder what they're up
to hopefully spinning their wheels finding
nothing all right so I got the computer
everything works he booted it up for me I got to inspect everything it's fine I
didn't hle them down anymore so I got it for 80 bucks which I think is fine we'll
have to see what lonus got but that seems like an okay deal for an 8,400
computer to me the inside is really nice and clean so I was happy to see that
looks like he took good care of it or at least took good care of it right before
I got there not entirely sure which one but anyways um kind of baller RAM I
didn't expect this okay maybe not actually baller but it's goldplated well
not really goldplated gold painted um ocz memory which I thought was kind of
funny um there's the e8400 the fan CPU
fan and everything is an Immaculate condition which is great let me get this
back in here one quick second I thought it was kind of funny the optical drive
isn't even hooked up but I wouldn't use it anyways so uh the power supply though
is kind of like the most sketchy balls thing ever it's a power link 450 watt
but yeah I don't know no PC power
whatsoever um there's two molexes though so I can adapter off for that so I don't
know we'll just kind of have to see so this will be my base platform I'll see
if I need to get a new power supply um and then yeah we'll go from there
this is really awkward because I've just made appointments with our GTX 580 water
cooled card and our cooler for it which are totaling $100 but someone just
accepted our offer for $100 on a $79.50 so I'm going to do a little bit
of research into overclocking the 580 and overclocking the 7950 but I'm going
to feel like a real bad dude but I might have to bail on those guys and take the
better offer the problem is that now I have to go get it tonight which means I
might have to take like the kids with me
so so did we decide about going to get
things tonight uh yes no you can't I
can't well that's very interesting then I have a call to make also you can't uh
do any more craigslisting stuff you're after six so get off the
computer you're cheating already I'm not cheating what are you doing right
now replying to a message there was an
okay I I had to I had no I had to do other stuff I've been back here for a
bit I had to like record a voice over and stuff no have I been here have I
been working is there is there actual oh I don't know
lents agree with me wow
dicks he L has Terence got that big 4k monitor can I have that now
no this is 4K and that's not 4K any
sorry I can't come down to get anything tonight so I might have to pass um if
anything changes I will I will give a call tomorrow to uh to let you know um
if it comes to that then if it's not too
much to ask maybe take the card out with you and I could come to you wherever you
happen to be cuz it's a bit of a scavenger hunt situation I've got going
on thanks uh my number is 31011 Pizza Hut good
night there I'm done for the night
there it's all I'm doing tonight
next time on scrapyard Wars lonus gets a tetus shot Luke gets mugged and Nick
fights a dingo oh no stick off you bloody dingo uh none of that actually
happens or does it previously on
scrapyard Wars $300 cash the very best
gaming rig that we can build that seems like an okay deal for an 8,400 computer
to me someone just accepted our offer for $100 on a $79.50 sorry I can't come
down to get anything tonight so I might have to pass um if anything and now the
conclusion or part of
it I've got a 500 wat antech power
supply that we're headed to pick up right now and then the r9290 I got for
180 so that's actually pretty sweet we
will go pick that up later did he say 290 is that fast what's a graphics card
okay so it's day two of our search and
uh we've got to find out where our destination is so I'm not exactly sure
where we're going okay I have the address for our first
appointment on my laptop which battery is
low uh scrapyard Wars
one there we go now we're
good okay I really hope that's not
it I think it might be holy crap this is
some sketch going the ghetto okay so
this is 53 32 holy
crap this is like this is some sketchy
de it's a good thing they're inviting Open Door no parking well they
parked in front of it where like where does this door go I don't know there's
some in there though hello hi are you Santa yes hi I'm
lonus lus nice to meet you nice to meet you too this is uh Nick he can turn off
the camera if you want no cameras today that's fine yeah so our contact here got
us pretty hooked up actually he had the whole thing running on a test bench to
show that it booted up and had core temp CPU Zed installed and everything so we
could validate that everything's good to go so this is an ep35 d s3r a pretty
decent little board it's got an extra chip on there for SATA 2 raid uh we've
got 8 gigs of uh what appears to be y
mix and match so we've got half Samsung half Kingston ddr2 800 there's a q6600
on there with a cooler um and then we
also just thrown in got what appears to
be the remains of a freezer 7 I think we can make use of that with uh with an
extra fan or something along those lines
and then we also got an earth Watts 500 wat power supply which was uh better
than I was expecting I actually didn't know what model of power supply we were
going to get but this is got two PCI six pin connectors on it so that means that
powering our graphics card later isn't going to be a problem at all and then I
thought we were getting a 500 gig uh hard drive and we actually ended up with
a 1 TB hard drive so uh oh yeah right in
the case so there were a few sort of Cooler Master Elite Class options or
there was a Silverstone tj4 that happens
to be missing a couple of bay covers well I have some Bay covers we got a
card reader a floppy Drive yeah
baby so uh oh and look the Vancouver
Olympic mascots that was a bonus I didn't even have to pay extra for that
all right so I'm feeling pretty good we just need the rest of this day to go
well still need a graphics card so I just got my uh antech basic power 500 W
continuous power power supply which is exactly what I was looking for looks like it's in good shape clean happy with
all that kind of stuff while I was talking to the guy though I was like
yeah thanks for doing this like I know it's really short notice cuz I just emailed them this morning and it was his
dad or whatever um and he's like yeah it's been an interesting day someone was
just here picking up a case in power supply like 20 minutes
ago what who do you think that is there's like no way that isn't lonus
except it wasn't man we're probably so
so close oh that would have been so funny
if we were picking stuff up at the same time anyways let's let's go get some
lunch cuz you know we're having a chill day they're probably freaking out driving
everywhere so I had multiple leads on 79
50s for $100 and then I actually ended up with two GTX 580s lined up for $100 I
decided I wanted $ 7950 so I bailed on all the 580s I got back to what looked
like a very promising 7950 lead and then heard nothing so this guy who's actually
going to be on different job sites today
but I asked him very nicely yesterday to bring it with him in case I need it I'm
going to try and track him down next after we go meet up with the guy who I
promised t-shirts to technically I don't think we're
allowed to use anything that we didn't get but Luke will never know that I used
my own uh yeah that's true and we can
always just lie to L right yes lying
less liess it's right in
there so we just arrived to meet up with them I was trying to figure out how to
tell them I don't have the right shirt turns out I did grab the right
shirts we do have lus Tech tip shirts so
uh this will be this will be a lot more successful than it otherwise would have
been let go ah hello
gentlemen nice to meet you
sorry I wasn't able to take the card unfortunately but uh so I found a 7950
which gives me about a 10% Edge in GPU performance so I got to take it um my my
plan for this if I didn't get the zelman
uh was I was just going to rip the block off and use like a stock Intel heat sink
on the GPU core or something which would have been awesome and like super ghetto
but I found a 7950 so I kind of had to take it but um had said you wanted me to
sign something as well I brought a silver pen
smartass there thank you the real
lus all right since I showed up and didn't
didn't buy anything actually all right well it's a pleasure to meet you
gentlemen we've got to get to our next appointment here and uh going to go get
like a hot chocolate or something but I'll see you gems
later wow cuz we're we not 5 minutes
early we're 9 minutes early it is now
1:40 he were supposed to be here at
1:15 so he just texted me saying he'll be
here in 1 minute um but I'm like it's fine I guess
1:45 I got it but he's super late we got to
go I don't like it when people are late I especially don't like it when they're
that late and when I like clearly stated that it was important and I needed to go
early 7950 guy said he'd call us back in
10 minutes and that was uh 18 minutes
ago now the guy we just met with that we
gave the T-shirt to he has the 580 hydrocopper so what I'm thinking I
haven't seen him leave yet not that I'm parked outside the Starbucks like
stalking someone I haven't seen him leave yet um so if I don't hear back
from 7950 guy that's our backup plan and
we take that and then we try and get in touch with zelman cooler guy again and
and we go for it cuz that's down in Richmond uh which is kind of far but but
definitely doable line is speaking okay I'll be there in about half an hour as
well um there you are so let's have a look at our spoils as long as it works
this will be the only piece we haven't validated this is a pretty beefy looking
card this is a mostly rear exhaust style
card so it's got the uh it's got the cooling fan just above the uh vrm
cooling piece right here all right I am
feeling good I don't know if this is
technically cheating cuz it's just an aesthetic thing but uh I'm going to try
and find some aluminum face plates I actually have some boxes of random junk
that I'm taking to the office this is like a $40 piece that realistically I
wasn't Luke's not going to believe I salvaged or got for nothing
these are what I actually
need yeah okay all right so I'm thinking we'll do
the buildoff in here so one person will
take this desk surface and then the
other person will set up a couple desks here and then we can use our pile of
computer cases um to construct like a like a wall
a wall like a barrier so that neither of us can see what the other is doing so
we've been back at HQ already for like 2 hours and uh Luke and uh Brandon are
nowhere to be seen they said we can start building at 3: so given that it's
2:30 right now we're pretty close so
let's get set up
what is is going to be mad I'm excited this is going to be awesome that's what
I said before we turned the camera on and now we're doing it again it's fake
but it is what I legitimately said so is it fake I don't know no one
knows okay so are we doing the Parts the part show off I already did oh even
though we have no alcohol and no cleaning cloths I found this napkin on
the floor oh that's weird it doesn't have a model number maybe this is an
unreleased processor I I justest it has
a model number so there's our CPU that's
going to be a phenomenal
performer here's our RAM okay here's our other
RAM all right here's our third set of
RAM our fourth set of
RAM and our eighth set of RAM and our
12th set of RAM and our
18th he's got a little bit of a viewing Port back there I got to be careful he
can see around that corner quite easily and he's a little rasy devil got to be
careful with that
one that's the sound of a quality side
panel being dropped right
there I would only drop it like that if I wasn't worried about damaging it
because I have so many cases I bought six cases I thought that would probably
be about about par yeah you probably
only bought six cases because you're going to need six cases to end up with a
fully functional one yeah next time on
scrapyard Wars Luke runs out of gas in the bad part of town Nick fights the
Statue of Liberty yeah I just don't really like
Freedom this is kind of neat I have cable managed this case um a good dozen
or two times before this is actually a case with which I am into familiar so um
I'm I'm pretty excited about the opportunity to work in it again it's been quite some time now it does have
toolless uh Bays here but they are not
exactly the world's most elegant system this I won't
need so we're just going to pry this
up so this is actually not the correct
threading for this piece so we're kind of creating our own threads as we go
lonus has to clean out his entire PC to get started while Luke only has three
parts to pop in to start overclocking we're not sure what the outcome of this
will be but we do know it will be close
he just isn't cleaning his stuff cuz he didn't find an advantage rag like I did
yeah see Advantage Rags are not real so
lus is obviously in a stage of denial at
the moment if it wasn't real how could I hold it in my hand
or we can try and jury rig this uh well we can take this off
without damaging it without without too
much I think we should go for
it fle around for a little bit do a little bit research see what this chip
is capable of see what this board is capable of see what see I hear them
Whispering as if that'll help
I mean the shopping stage is done Luke so uh you know the fact that you have
crap Hardware uh no amount of keeping it
secret is going to keep it secret forever and then I'll tease you oh yeah
I forgot about that I'm sorry oh shoot I hope this has the right mounting
hardware in oh hold
on okay so these are a little uh these are a little worse for the wear right
here so there here's a little trick just
give them the old
that so here we can
oh that is some rookie stuff right there I forgot
this I don't have time for his Shenanigans at this point in the
competition because winners do not
consort with people who don't win as
hard they don't consort with them yeah
that's right ah shoot got it in there
once therefore I can do it again and that is why I have two
children yeah the only one around here with proof of his
virility how do you know cuz your mother would kill you if the other
way he good point
no no he's right my mom would kill me you'd be dead y you'd actually be dead
yep did we bring out any zip ties no but
there might be some in the screw
bin that'll do it
okay oh
yeah oh that is a thing of beauty right
there fantastic oh I'm feeling good
today yeah man my Mini Wheats are like I
ate them I crapped them out I ate them again I took a picture put on Instagram
e this was a real score like this was
probably worth a good chunk of the budget right
there coming along just nicely why don't you get the hell out of
here spy we don't hate you over here we
accept your kind yeah losers are stuck hanging out with the other
losers this is real good this is
trustworthy that's the difference between this and snakes in the grass
like
Luke oh I should have done this before I did the other thing oh oh I don't know
if it's going to reach are you missing my epic struggle
over here never mind
yes oh yeah that table
management all right um all right now we
did specifically say that there would be demerit points for leaving the garage
and I don't need to leave the but I do need to walk over here so I'm ating my
eyes Burl will Burl will hold this box
or Taran is he still here okay well someone someone will Burl
will supervise me here I got see my blinders yeah okay I got my blinders
on this box right here is called the fun
box because there's a chair on top of
it for some
reason all right see this is something Luke wouldn't even think of needing
probably cuz I wouldn't need it cuz I'm not
terrible nice one of
these oh yeah oh yeah
let's get the oh yeah moment there we go all
right so you got a system fired up over there I hear keyboard Strokes no not at
all I didn't finish installing all my drivers like half an hour
ago oh what's that sound is that a hard drive oh interesting well I wouldn't
know what a hard drive sounds like I mean I'm all solid state over here man
here we go changed to 340 with the magic hands I think it'll boot fine
now okay uh here's the moment we've all
been waiting for mhm
mhm what oh
you done setting your downloads yet um small problem I mean it's not a
big problem it's just a small
one okay oh yes oh yes we got this this
is good so I don't think we have that no
we don't um I wonder what we can get out of
this baby wow it's been a really long
time no we're not going to quite go for that go
for about that we going to go for how
about
that instead of aiming for like ultimate why don't we aim for like hi
I think we should go ultimate you want you want to go ultimate yeah well that
tells go Max possible settings in every game that tells me a lot about the uh
the way you weighted your uh your system
I don't know how much it'll show on screen but uh don't my screen oh
okay oh wow this takes a while to
load okay hm H look what happened
there I literally didn't even change anything I'm going to turn this
off I opened After Burner and typed in a number didn't press enter and the screen
went black oh all right here goes yeah
there's nothing on screen
oh oh
oh oh come on what happened you take
your you take your attempt I'll uh I'll shut her down it looks like I might need
to dial back
thing crash number one has happened no
that's two crashes I wasn't benching yet
oh you said that like it was it's
horrible don't worry mine didn't even start yet my computer's better under
load it's like a rotary engine I got to get up to a certain RPM before the
computer actually runs properly I might be blaming you for this
what happened I I did nothing oh whenever I open executables the screen
goes black I was working on this last night and it was fine I haven't touched
it unless I came back here in the middle of the night I've been supervised the
entire time I've been here probably massively overused in so
this has an FPS counter on it I guess we're going to see my score so you might
as well uh check it
out that
tearing whoa oh that artifacting does
that count against me I don't know I kind of I don't know
I think that's just part of
the frankly I can't tell oh no there's
some oh okay all right I think I think we have to call this one
off okay all
right seriously and then uh seriously
it's just load Up 3D Mark
here well I think I know something about his system I'm fairly sure that's a
reference cooler that is a sound I've heard before it has a particular
tonality to
it what oh it's terrible that doesn't seem
right it's not running in a full no that's fine all right
so how how is yours here that's looking
higher want we turn the fans feet down and try it
again you still have to run actual games don't be too smug this is a graphics
Benchmark I'm just happy I won one of them by like a lot like two times was
that is that how that math works I think that was about two
times oh yeah that's a crash unless your FPS is
uh 1,600 1900 2200 in counting getting
speed 2600 it's ramping up do you see do you see
this clear glitching 100 times glitch
exploit wait no I'm trying to get it to 200 times speed in a couple seconds here
all right why don't you go ahead and shut that down and I'll take a run at
this this is the physics
test yeah you didn't know there was a physics test did you suck I did actually
oh all right
so 5866 is the mark to beat okay the
first successful run that's still higher it's not as
higher no still higher I might have been
drawing too much power that a hard drive is horrible I know like everything's
kind of working properly I didn't it did it start walking though I feel like it
started walking I don't know
cuz remember yeah it was counting FPS and it
crashed look at my signs but look at the signs still
flicker not nearly as much though I'm
not I'm not saying a deduction plan all right here we go physics
test oh dear so what were you getting here 17 or something yeah
okay that is terrible ooh that looks pretty smooth
you know what you're
oh oh the mountains start falling you get really bad you get
owned wow what did you get 5866 I
think what have you got
5745 what the hell is this
don't yeah just run it just run it and then we'll and then I'll go online I'll
see if that
helps fourth that's appropriate wow
average FPS 66.6 minimum 46.9 6 that's a
pretty respectable minimum I don't know how bottlenecked you're going to be
there getting smooth I'm guessing 73 73 you're going to get you know I'm
going to guess minimum 58 yeah I'm not going to guess at the
average
who oh son son you just got
wrecked okay so here's Luke's results Min 39 average 63.3
here's Linus's results Min
56 who average 82.1 all right oh oh wow
deduction points for really bad I originally thought you had a 7950 now
I'm pretty sure you have a 7970 which means you spent about half of
your budget on your graphics card I
think I know for sure you have you're wrong 100% wrong I know for sure you
have a dual course CPU because you because you got absolutely destroyed you
must have ddr2 and I think you've got four gigs of
RAM you how did you get a
290 the the thing that's going to blow your mind though I have a q6600 ah I was
right oh what yeah and that that that
RAM and the dual core I think was the dual core was a little rough but I
didn't think you were going to come out with a quad yeah I got a quad I got a
quad so really the big winner the big winner would have been probably a
combination of the two they could get a 290 a q6600 8 gigs of RAM a good quality
power supply an aluminum fronted case if we took my card out of my system and put
it in here which is what that would have been that would be a pretty sick machine
for 380 bucks and that's still cheaper than all the consoles we looked at and
you could still buy one or two games to equal the console price I me I think for
$300 if if you can build a rig like this
then guys like there is at the you know
it's funny and I guess we'll make this the conclusion for this we get this a
lot where people uh criticize us for focusing really on the high-end stuff
and uh and the brands that make the most sense at the high end and they ask us
well why is that there's such great value stuff out there on the low end and
the answer is that if either of us were going to build a $500 machine we' do
something like this we would do this we wouldn't be buying new I would have done
exactly what I did for the graphics card try and find one that I can get which
shouldn't be that cheap and then I would have not rush purchased that setup cuz
it came with a terrible motherboard cuz if you're smart and you're a good
shopper both of us were doing this at the same time with only 48 hours to turn
around all of these deals not even we realistically only had 7 or eight hours
to contact people and pick up things and like go get them we ended up with
machines we could easily resell for more than what we paid and to match this
performance buying new from the store would cost at least 50% more or more so
there you go guys used Hardware good value this was fun this was really fun
but you got wrecked you got wrecked son that quadcore man that quadcore is
pretty Beast so thanks for watching guys this has been the very first round of
scrapyard Wars we have lots of great ideas coming for this series let us know
in the comments if you want to see more let us know how you liked the format
it's a little different than anything else we've done don't forget to subscribe and we'll see you guys again
next time thanks for watching guys
