two teams try to build the best gaming rig they can for $500 the rules are
simple you work within the set hours you buy the parts you use and you can't use
your influence as a YouTuber to get deals oh and the best RGB computer gets
a 10% score bonus welcome to Scrapyard
Wars and now we got to figure out where to go next cuz we were hoping by now the
uh South Orange County option would would be where we could go but um we
discovered the motherboard was h61 which you can't overclock with so it
wouldn't be much point if getting a 2600k with an h61 motherboard also was
ECS which we've got we've got uh a second
guy John who has the same CPU 2600k but
he actually has a z68 board which we could overclock with and he's an eliso
vijo which is about the same direction as the last guy so it could work out I
texted him um offer 200 for both of them he hasn't replied yet I'm just going to
call him maybe are you going to call your guy first or do you want me to call
my guy so I'm in Santa Anna so yeah I'm
in Santa Anna okay um we could honestly
come by right now if if you're available we would probably be maybe 20 minutes or
so but uh obviously if you're not busy
yeah we're uh we're open until 5:00 p.m.
I can piex you the address and uh yeah feel free to drop bar okay yeah just uh
text me over the address and we'll be on our way so maretta guy with the 2600k
and the ECS motherboard that's 861 which we cannot overclock on um I asked him if
we could omit the motherboard for a cheaper price I offered him 160 bucks
for 2600k 8 gigs of memory which is dual
Channel and uh 180 s gig SSD which 180
gigs that capacity means we probably wouldn't need a hard drive so that could
also save us some money and some time he seems like a pretty reasonable guy but
he also doesn't want to get ripped off obviously so this could really go either
way guy in maretta with the 2600k just replied to our $160 offer and said I
will pass I think he's bluffing maybe he's bluffing are you are you bluffing
are youting me are you sh me this is an
industrial area or commercial Zone and I
don't know again it's going to be situation they're either going to try to barter really hard and get as much money
out of us as possible or or if they really just have a bunch of stuff stored
and they want to get rid of it then maybe we can maybe we can negotiate so
we've uh we've come to a place they have lots of parts and they seem to be pretty
reasonable prices and they have some slightly older stuff but not too old so
lots of options here just matter what they have on hand uh we're trying to
definitely get a power supply right now and uh they might have gpus as well
which could be really nice he walked into the uh Ellen place or alen place
the alen warehouse um there were a couple people who sort of looked at me
and Paul and kind of raised an eyebrow like I recognize you and fortunately
they weren't employees so I think that helped but I think you obviously edel
also helped us and like kind of like nudged the guy the fans and was like sh you know quiet X on the Paul and Kyle
say or whatever but it was cool to meet them after the deal was done to sort of
you know shake hands and be like hey what's up thanks for not ruining
everything for us so it all worked out they were mentioning some talk of some
fairly affordable 900 series GeForce cards which definitely pequ our interest
I think very very overclockable that's the nice thing indeed and you know
they've got uh Power Supplies hard drives they also have a z97 board for
like 50 bucks or something I'm currently trying to email a guy for a
4670k potentially um if we can get that hooked up that'd be pretty nice that'd
be sweet so uh we just came out pretty fat
with some components here we got a power supply uh from Rose will and we got a
power supply so we've got some wiggle room there for power T4 cooler z97
motherboard no CPU yet and also a hard drive we got all this for what 80 bucks
80 bucks so this place is called Elon wholesale and we found them via a
Craigslist ad for cases um and it was just like what we were looking for a
warehouse just piled with stuff all slightly old and willing to make a deal
for uh quite a few parts so this definitely gives us some wiggle room we
spent less than $100 and uh we need we need to locate
the big ticket items though CPU graphics card yeah so we're going to need uh
Haswell no no yeah Haswell or Devil's Canyon something like that we're looking
for a 4690k right now um I've got a few leads on Craigslist hopefully that works
out and we we're also missing a modular cable for this power supply for the for
the peripherals we'll have to work that out but uh yeah as a tool yeah tool yes
okay all right so we got we got a potential strategy we can go with here
too since we don't have a GPU yet but we do have a motherboard with video outs so
let's say we don't get the GPU till tonight or that someone wants to meet in the evening one of us could stay back
and get the system up and running and Windows loaded and stuff while somebody
else goes out to pick up a GPU and that would we can do that right yeah we can
split up we never told there were no
rules sign these twins or anything all right I think it's lunchtime though yeah
I'm hungry so right now we're meeting up with a guy named John who by some
miracle is selling his 4690k Core i5 for
140 bucks seems like there's no strs attached I guess we'll find out when we
get there but that's uh that's putting us in even better shape than we are now
um if we can get that part sold for that much very close to that yeah it's very
close it was only 12-minute drive from where we had had lunch like I said we're
on our way there now so um I think at that point we just need the main part
after this assuming that we don't get mugged here uh is going to be the graphics card that gives us plenty of
time we've got all the rest of today it's only what 1:30 p.m. and we're
already getting a pretty decent CPU and a bunch of other stuff so yeah
we well I guess I could have just waited till I got in the car yeah so he said he
was running it at 4.4 to 4.6 which is at 1.3 1.2 Vols 1.3 volts
it's my keys that'll do that'll do pig
yep okay so we're looking up gtx980 TI
at this point we only have about 170 to 200 bucks to spend 200 really if we need
to we can return the RGB LEDs I'm down to do that for a 980 TI I'm looking
right now on Craigslist they're all like $300 and up but I I pretty much have
crafted an email that I'm sending out to this guy uh saying hello can I can give
you $200 cash for the GTX 98 TI and I'll
drive to you I know that's a pretty low offer but that's literally all the money
I have left and I need that card more than anything if you've ever wanted to
pay it forward to a fellow bro this is your chance take it before it's too late
and I'm planning to copy paste that to all the GTX 980ti owners on Craigslist
right now so we'll see what happens I hope there's no one who's like selling
more than one of them and gets a message from both oh oh RAM update RAM update so RAM
guy RAM guy the guy who had all the RAM that's why we called him RAM guy he
actually came back finally after all day of Silence he was like I can do it for
20 bucks so that's $10 off of other RAM
guy so I'm going to cancel other RAM guy and go with primary RAM guy and get it
for like 10 bucks less and then we can put towards a better graphics card you
know what you know what Kyle what what that's RAM
tastic okay so once I convinced elus and
Brandon that it might not be the worst idea to get on a plane and go to Paulo
Alto we took off I had to get us to the
hotel immediately once we got to the hotel I threw the car in park ran inside
got both all three of our
passports and we sort of made it
wait what uh hold on if this guy has a
phone number I'm going to call right now this guy has a phone number this guy has
uh has a dual Zeon
workstation
57 SSD keep that in mind I know I know
he wants 450 but we don't need all of the stuff you Hollywood this is Megan
how may I help you hi I'm calling about a listing that um Matthew there put on
Craigs List all right um what was the
listing for it was for a z800 dual zon
workstation all right and your name uh my name is Ash Ash let me transfer you
over to someone I think Matthew is actually out right now but I have someone else who can help you out just a
moment great thank you hello this is Tim hi I'm calling
about um I think you guys actually have more than one workstation listed on
Craigs List yeah what's going on okay I
am it's a kind of a long story but I am
in kind of a a bind here um so here's
what I I need basically RAM a dual socket motherboard
and like a case power supply cooling
solution SSD um and in a perfect world if you guys had like an old SSD
that would be that would be amazing as well okay all right yeah let me find out
about that and then I'll get right back cash that would be that would be super
amazing sorry I didn't catch your name oh my name is Tim Tim or Timothy Tim
okay uh great to meet you and I I I really really really really hope you can
help us out here that would be super duper awesome all right sounds good yeah
let me just talk it over and then I'll give you a call back I'd say within you
know next 15 20 minutes that would be perfect thank you okay all right right
talk to soon okay bye okay so let's just start driving towards the airport and
then if we hear back from the local workstation
guys uh then we will stop driving towards the airport like basically the
next hour we either win this competition
or we lose and like we have nothing I can cry
like I'll cry if that's what it takes I need the system okay it's been 19
minutes I'm calling call it it's 19
minutes what was his name what was his name Tim Tim Tim
Tim hi I'm calling for
Tim Tim yeah I don't have a Tim here wait um the
wrong number again oh I'm confused may maybe I maybe I dialed the wrong number
I'm I'm sorry I'll have to I'll have to try again sorry okay
okay who did I just
call I don't know who I just called and I don't have the number for these guys
anymore oh my god well Tim I don't
know okay no no I I remember what I searched for I searched for
Zeon well there there's your 20 minutes
this is like not funny anymore like I like you know I like the T for the sake
of the show but oh this is it oh [ __ ] I called the wrong number I have no idea
who I just
called New Media Hol this is may I help
you hi I'm calling for Tim for Tim uh is
this what was your name again uh my name's Ash Ash yeah right sorry just one
moment let me go grab him for you awesome thank you so I'm so sorry to call again apologize for me please no no
worries you're fine you're fine so our PC guyy he's out right now
he's going to be back probably about 30 minutes he said that he can double check
the computer cuz there's a few things he'd have to check before we can sell it
um but that we may have one I don't know how long you're going to be in town but
I I have your contact so I can give you a call as soon as he gets back and he's checking the system okay I pretty much
need to drive there right now it's like really it's a very long really stupid
story but um so so like is it is it like
so okay so if he's giving me the go-ahead on that my pricing is not
totally unreasonable can we just can we just
come there we're we're really techy we could even test it for you guys so you
don't have to hassle around with like whether it works or not and we're not
asking for warranty or anything like that um that i' I'd have to find out I
think the price would be a little more it probably be closer to like three um
but that I would have to I would have to talk to him and and make
sure okay uh hold on let me let me pull
up my spread we're working on a really a really fixed budget here
um closer to so would it be 300 with the SSD and
CPUs uh well we uh the one the unit that
we have it doesn't have a CPU inside um and then the other one it didn't have a
hard drive either so it' be without those two oh
no we have to go okay um but as as soon
as he gets back I can have him contact you guys just to you know kind of see where you're at and see if we can still
work something out
um I honestly I have to know in like the
next two minutes could could I call could I call a Sal and see if I can work
something out with him uh yeah do you want to do that and
then uh just uh give me a call back or something that yeah sure could could I
get his cell number I'm so sorry well he's he's actually driving right now so
he's he's not even in the office oh no
yeah as soon as he gets back he'd have to check on the specs and then uh kind
of do the the clean process and make sure everything is you know wiped and
everything's gone okay yeah okay
um okay okay okay
uh okay what time is your flight uh
basic like if we can't if we can't get
something done with you guys we we have have to go try and book something at the
counter and and walk on like immediately
um like we're we're we're we're in the parking
lot okay I see I mean I I'm pretty sure
let me check I I know I have a system that's probably ready to go but that's going to have you know the hard drive
that's going to have like everything in there and it's going to be closer to our our price that we have online um which
I'm sure it's over like 300 I'm sure it's closer to like four um but that's
what the system is like ready to go but I can I mean if you guys want to do
something like that I can check on there we can we can't do that like we can
Franken frankensteining together something is much easier and better for
us
um okay okay I'll I'll just have to let
you know if anything changes thank you okay yeah no problem sorry about that
okay thanks anyways all righty yeah all right take care circling we have eight
we have8 minutes okay Park Park like I I
don't know we got to call them then schedule for tomorrow cuz if we can't
schedule for tomorrow then we don't have
a system anyways okay and we just have to go to Michael and get a system there
yeah just go just go park I'm going to call Michael right
now I thought these guys were going to come through it seemed like we were
pretty close to being able to get something done
like I don't think we can I don't think we can fly out there cuz like we're
still $2 over even if everything goes according to plan hi
Michael hey um um having a rough day to
be perfectly honest are you in the shop right now are you able to uh basically every
other deal we've tried to get done here is collapsing around us right
now um um you had said you had decent
towers that we could put the video card in for like pretty affordable like what
kind of specs are you
talking I just I'm looking to my left right now I see a pretty Co Cooler
Master HF Cas it's kind of old but you can do it in there I'll throw you guys
um I'll throw you guys a Lenovo S center it's an i7 3770 8 gigs of RAM and a
terabite hard drive
oh for how much would that be
um what do you think about uh what do you think about
200 200 okay so we would still
need let just can you okay this is going
to um this might this might be annoying
but could you could you do an SSD for that and then could we bail on the video
card you want you want to bail on the video card okay so we we have
a um so long story we have to build the
best computer we can here for 500 and we
had a lead on a 980 TI for 300 oh nice okay
um you know you know what Ash Ash Ash
yeah all right man I'll throw in the video card I'll throw in the SSD I have
a 120 let me see I got a
120 is it 120 or 60 I mean would you be
cool with a 60 or does it need to be 120 120 would help a
lot Samsung 128 that's D here and uh my
boss now so I'm going to try to help me out okay you have just saved our day in
a lot of ways that won't be clear until until all this plays out um we are
we are we are driving there right now
um wow okay so just to confirm 3770 8
gigs RAM um some motherboard uh yeah now
I'm going to let you know right now it's a small for Factor but the motherboard can fit in normal cases yeah yeah okay
that that's cool that's fine um it's not like it's not like one of those like
weird architectures like in the HPS and and like the Del off no it's like you
could [ __ ] the in the other case cool do do you have a model number for it by any
chance man uh yeah sorry to rush off I'm
with another customer right now let me see if I can okay Ju Just go bail you've
done you've done enough we're on our way we're coming all right I'll see you soon
okay thanks
dude uh all right okay okay so how much
is that Holy we just got CPU motherboard
RAM SSD and case oh my God I don't know oh I'm oh I God I hope he's including a
power supply 200 bucks so so worst case scenario we take
the 980 also from Michael we get everything from one
source and we still have a 3770 with a GTX 980 yeah but if we can
I'm going to start following up 980 TI leads so the good news is I don't
actually know how much time we waste we wasted some time 40 minutes to
Michaels I got to let I got to let Omid
know that we don't need those CPUs and Justin that we're not picking
up the system and justtin know that we're not taking
it cuz they're currently trying to part that out for us yeah
okay now I get to send all the [ __ ] emails okay well I'm going to let Justin
down first because we're definitely not
going to follow Alto yeah whereas I'm
still going to follow up the workstation lead I'm going to see if we can get the
dual CPUs done so I'm going to keep Omid
hanging still yeah okay hey Justin um I feel terrible but
we just found a 3770 gaming CPU for is it okay really
really no I doubt it for really really cheap and we're going that route instead
you guys were awesome and I'll recommend
you to everyone I know hi is this
Anthony yeah hi I'm calling about your
980 on Craigslist oh okay can um you know I I
actually just sold it um last
night I offered this guy
275 and he said thanks for the offer but as it stands I'm still offering the
cheapest 9980 TI and he's right what if
I say should I just go straight to our limit just go okay
290 let's see if we'll do it I would say
what about 280 and a 1 ter hard drive
external okay but we don't actually know that we're getting that hard drive we
know we're getting the SSD like he might want to like he's already Michael's
already doing us a lot of favors here I don't think he owes us a hard drive at
this point I want to offer 290 I want to get
a card and give us a sec Let's do let's
do Michael first we're like right here let's just see what we got God I feel
like I've been in that car forever okay so we're we have been in that car forever we're here at Michael's shop
let's go in and see uh See if we're going to get a deal done here oh my
fly's undone um oh wait wait uh I will
let you film if I get a picture
oh you look like someone I know
Ash dude oh my God oh my God okay look
guy guy that I was just been texting right now 215 he said 2115 I'm free
right now 215 for a 980 TI if if we get this hard we win
scrapyard Wars I I do not think lonus and Luke are getting a 90ti I mean they
might do some like crappy SLI stuff or but dude this is a 980 TI a Devil's
Canyon this is a freaking miracle if we pull this off so I I tried to get some
cheap ssds honestly we just got the $45
one from Micro Center if we're going to get this 98 TI for 215 bucks we need to
return some stuff that we bought the SSD is a place we can cut Corners if we can
just get a 32 gig or even a 64 gig for less than 45 bucks and also the RGB LEDs
I just H up a guy on Craigslist to see if I could get his strip and not him two
strip but his LED strip and a controller for $10 which is uh half the cost it
would save us an additional $10 on the Strip uh kit that we just got at Micro
Center which would give us technically enough to buy the 90ti but I got to do
this quickly because I don't know how long this offer is going to stand I mean
he might be second guessing himself right now like 215 am I really going to
do 215 for 9ti so I got to I got to act fast right now
my chance could go quite soon
wait stop did you stop filming no right he just replied hi I was just about to
replace the ad I have a bunch of items including HDMI cables don't care the RGB
light controller a fan five input connectors
Etc that I am selling as a lot for $20 no it's part of the lot and I want to
sell everything together and not piece it out really he's going to sell it as a
lot RGB strips with with freaking HDMI CA who who's looking for those two exact
things for 20 bucks which is the same that we paid for the current kit we have
I'm going to I'm going to try to I'm going to try to work some magic here all right so we got this modular SATA cable
we need to make sure that we want to make this work with this power supply so
in a SATA plug here you have five different actual leads going in there
the black is ground uh the yellow is 12vt the red is 5vt and I believe the
Orange is 3.3 volt I'm going to double check that to make sure I've got that
right cuz I don't do this often enough to have that memorized I should have it memorized but anyway if I figure what's
coming out of here then I can repin the plugs on this end cuz I've got the
extraction tool just Swip them switch them around to match up with the proper voltage and then this should work cuz we
got to have this for our SSD and our hard drive and uh uh since we've got
some fans that need Molex plugs probably also need to do the same thing with this
one with Molex okay GTX 9 TI guy replied
he said uh well first off he wants to meet at a police station I think I
scared him a little bit by now but he uh he also said he wants to do the
trade-off before dark so so he's a vampire um possibly that would make me
scared of him actually no he would not be a vamp we can we can be care we can
know that he's not a vampire sorry I had that backwards we should bring garlic just in case but anyway do you think 7
p.m. is reasonable yeah if we go south there shouldn't be too much traffic and
coming back North is where it'll be rough so if we can meet him right when it's hopefully letting up then getting
back here shouldn't be quite as bad and then hopefully Starbucks guy or RGB LED
guy would be down to meet up at 7:30ish in Rancho
at the Starbucks that he mentioned um uh 98 TI guy can meet right now he wants to
meet before dark but he actually has to be somewhere by 5:30 which is in just
over an hour so I have to go right now I'm texting him right now that I'm on my
way cuz we're not going to get another chance like this wi of Truth see if my
rewiring worked say plug goes
in take my hands off of it while I flip
the switch
beautiful tada proper voltage reporting on all the
rails so it looks like looks like we're good Moment of
Truth that's a good
sign you grew up with sisters maybe you learned how to do this I actually have
no idea what I'm doing Lucy I'm
home did you bring dinner I got a little surprise for you is it tasty rhymes with
M Rady Pi mine just a hint that is gorgeous
it's the amp extreme too I know it's not even like a reference model that's
beautiful it's awesome and and dual Channel 8 gigs 2x4 1600 I believe
hopefully it works it's not the prettiest but if it's functional hey
yeah but uh this is really where it's at it was
functional I think I did that when I got in the car too it was really funny cuz
you know how I kept sweetening sweetening the pot I was like you will
be rewarded if you if you uh embark on this on this Leap of Faith by doing
business with me you know you you'll have a reward or something and like I'm
like I show up I'm like all right so you know who the line of tech tips is he's
like no no and I'm like so and I had to
explain to him like five minutes of like scrambling like oh my gosh what if he
doesn't want to do it now and I'm just like talking if he's got like 4 million
subscribers and I'm going to like shout shout out your names like I was do you
have a website he's like no I'm like do you have like a name you have a name I
can say your name he's like Evan I'm like all right Evan Evan great and and
he's like so wait that's the reward you were talking about I'm like you're
famous yeah but he was he was a super
cool guy so um he ended up going through with it so we got this bad boy although
slight catch um it was agreed 215 but I
didn't have exact and I forgot to ask him for change so I gave him 220 for it
but I think if we return the s SD and the RGB kit that we got at Micro Center
we just barely break even so it should be okay all right
so looking good I even have front panel connectors wired up wow look at you yep
the fpcs in the house just getting work done sexy yes fresh fresh books has
actually been pretty useful um helping me keep track of all the stuff that
we've been spending
gtx980 TI boy
I think our strong point is certainly the GTX 980ti um I think that's probably
going to surprise them I don't think that they're going to see it coming uh
and and that's sort of what I'm guessing
right now because I feel more confident in the graphics card in our graphics card than our CPU I think that they
might have a faster performing CPU but not necessarily as quick of a graphics
card so it'll be interesting to see how that balances out and how that all plays
out when we actually run the tests uh
just real this does not have a removable Drive cage how long is that yeah that
was the only thing that I was concerned about is that it is a fairly beefy GPU
worst case scenario we can just hacksaw this out of here but it's probably a
good 11 12 in uh here let's let's take a
look is that I don't know oh no can
you wait seriously oh no
there's no way we're just going to have to rip that
out yeah we'll just have to rip it out you have tools that can cut through that
yeah okay it's not going to be clean though doesn't have to be clean it's
fine you know Aesthetics is not nearly important as cage is it's riveted in
here too so it's okay we'll uh we'll
find a way we'll fit that sucker in there it's the last thing we
do it's this piece you just cut the end
of the shr off right that might be easier will it work without
it I don't know I mean it should it's just it's just plastic but I mean i' I'd
rather not do that if we can avoid it yeah I'd rather yeah mess up the $10
case than the $300 graphics card yes um
oh wait wait uh I will let you film if I get a
picture a you look like someone I know
Ash OH like a like did you know when we were on the phone or did you just know
when we showed up no oh okay good hold
that thought when we arrived at Michael's shop um I immediately
suspected that he knew who we
were I mean this guy was way too nice so
sorry Ash just give me one second yeah oh no no no carry on look they have
water I really
appreciate they are on a
this
cool cool um so can you show us the
sister that would have been bad so what
we get them by the truck load cool okay
do you have um wait was that so it was a 3770 right do you have something that
will take a full height graphics card um I could throw in a case for a little bit
extra and that the motherboard will fit that we can chop it okay let's uh oh I
don't want to do that we don't have that's
stupid okay yeah I was looking for
something that could fit a fullsize graphics card when you were asking for
the 980 yeah yeah uh yeah that's the best I could get you right now as far as
i7s are concerned I mean I got a I mean
we're pretty flexible if we're allowed to kind of tool around a bit and mix and
match um do you know how to get this side panel off I'm not demonstrating my
uh my skills here oh there we
go okay a workstation Build Together
potentially a workstation um I mean really it's like
what we're uh okay yeah this power supply won't work with a standard case
either so we got to be careful on that one so this is a
3770 8 G RAM Max 240 watt Max okay so
our power supply is definitely definitely going to be a
problem um would you guys happen to be looking for a power supply so we okay so
here's here's the so the deal that we
were trying to do was a dual socket workstation that we were we were going
to get for 300 and then we're stupid the
place we were talking to is in Pao Alto
so we clearly a little far away it's a little far away if we're on a budget
clearly plane tickets are not going to work very well
yeah for that budget it's a little out there um so we were going to get that
for 300 and then we were going to pair it with the 980 we were going to get
from you for 200 and our Max budget is
00 um however if we can so we I'm I've
actually got like six different 980 TI guys kind of on the go for
around a little over three so like
310 so we basically need the rest of the system for 200 which means that um if we
can't get a third generation core i7
maybe we could work with you on something not third generation uh 2600
far i7 but we do need a fullsize tower that
can fit I don't think this is going to work cuz let me see Mo this right over
here here I can this power supply looks like
junk this is an i7 2600 so the good news is this is the
kind of shop that we were looking for wow that is the dest heat sink
design I think I've ever seen so and
this might be the proprietar EST
motherboard this must be like btx or something like this is HP I don't even
think it is but like this power supply
is non-standard like there's very little
that's usable in here but if this system didn't
work that could actually work in our favor he has a bare 2600 a bare 2600 CPU
yeah what about a motherboard though do you want to go in there we'd have to
find an overclockable board 2600 k no no
no you can still overclock those a little bit even though they're not K oh
okay that's a thing seems fine I think so there we are now I don't know the ti
I believe is two of those two of the eights I think so I can set you up with
one terabyte I could do a 60 gig SSD for
15 what if we don't need a hard drive have a hard drive already is 15 PR drive
this I would have to do for um
35 60 gig for 15 is Windows even Windows
10 even going to fit on that with all the crap on it I I do budget builds from
here all the time I said window I on there but that still puts us at 195 and
we still need a case and a power
supply we have $5 I could uh $5 case in
power supply combo oh God I could I could I could get
you guys I like no one's going to notice the the power supply missing but the but
you guys hauling that thing out I'm it's I'm going to be asked about it cuz I've
asked for that case for a while so you know if it's
missing I could no one's going to notice if you if you walk out over the power
supply okay promise what if we find a different a different like Bare Bones to
start from sure sure then then then that'll give us a little more room cuz
if we can find something ATX with a decent power supply but as far as as far
as i7 is concerned that's a cheap the Leno is the cheapest I'm going to be able to get you can we do can we start
doing like CPU swaps and swap an i5 for
an i7 and as long as they're the same uh
same socket like you can make it quick can we play mix and match we can move
fast if you show us the systems and say do a CPU swap I 53470 oh wait maybe I
did look at this one maybe there was a reason though oh the power supply was
crappy but we could work with that because we could they could have a as
long as there's a power supply on the test bench and there's a power supply in
the system hold on a second oh boy where did
I put this okay side panels here okay cool uh where was that this one has bio
support though okay okay I'm feeling I'm
feeling okay right now HP Pro looks cooler do you think so it's shiny and
stuff you like this one uh the the desktop the lying down flat one has a
3770 in it so we were going to take the chip from one of the
and put it in there got it and take that and put it in here yeah well my boss
does Char my judgment so uh yeah do your thing okay thank you your judgment is ex
I think it's excellent too he's like yeah man I trust your judgment so uh you
know do whatever you got to do to make the customer happy you know what Luke you like this one better right I just
thought the front looked cool thought the front looked cool okay there's
pretty much no other reason there actually you're
using this one does look a little roomier and this
one like an 80 mm fan could just walk
away right if we needed a fan I think we should take this one okay thanks so much
you've been way too
helpful hey Michael do you have a 92 mm fan by any
chance or 90 does this look like that to you let me see that's an 80
that's a that's a 92 but I can't take your CPU Cooler
found what kind of computer shop is this any way you don't have a 92 mm fan I'm
taking my business elsewhere no we're not no we're we're not okay you called
my bluff shop you called my bluff we're not going
anywhere find another Shop with a missing
boss yeah
oh crap this fan has a uh proprietary
four pin connector on it uh what are the odds you have a sacrificial dead fan
that I can splice a standard connector
onto I don't ask for much I
know if we were going to go with a 980 I mean this would be probably the
980 okay let me see if I've heard back from any of our 980 TI
leads who 275 FTW
980ti that's sick that gives us a few bucks to work with keep a little bit
power supply money priorities we got a 980
TI I mean let's try this but are you
weighing those for power supply well no
it's like it's a quick way to know what kind of system I'm dealing with like how
much they spend on the heat sink and the power supply like yeah and the you know
the overall build of the chassis it's an indicator okay it's not the be all I'm
going to join you I'm going to weigh some it's not the be all and end all obviously I'm going to weigh some
systems okay well I'm going to start digging out one that I found that looks
kind of promising here I don't think we're going to find anything better than
what we have um like honestly that uh
that that old workstation looked kind of promising
but I mean do you want to go do you want
to go full ghetto and do two power supplies we can it's kind of been done
before but uh you got to do what you got to do not effectively that's
true wow I mean is it because you're in
the Sun that you feel the need to throw so much shade right now like I just see
just dropping facts dude I'm just droing I mean this is a vanquished opponent I'm
just dropping facts man this is a vanquished opponent man it's just I mean
you're taking all your salt and you're rubbing it right in the wound
dude what if we found a power supply in that scrap Heap is that $10 would you
have did you see something in there that you liked I saw something that's like
probably not that far off this just a power supply yeah that'll be $10 that's
$10 okay even though it was in the scrap Heap yeah oh
okay oh scraps I can sell two for half but I got a I got to sell it to you got
to sell it to me for yeah cuz I'm going to hear about it if five
bucks five bucks for the keep one from
the from the 771 workstation and if that fails we don't have enough to buy a
power spot no we don't so that deals on
the table so that's a gamble I say we maybe sit on it okay could we come back
tomorrow and buy a power supply for five bucks off the
scra yeah that's what I'm saying okay so we sit on that get the system though cuz
we need to start like to um I have some power supplies on my own if you guys
want to give me a call beforehand I'll get here what I have personally and sure
yeah and obious that's good okay awesome
okay but I was allowed to swap these power supplies okay okay so I'm going to
do I you know what I'm gambling I'm going for the thermal take over the hp1
okay I mean at least it has PCI Express connectors and what I've heard is that
it's just a range that you get so if we
get lucky then that might be all we need I mean we're gambling no matter what we
do at this point yeah what we do what whatever we do is going to be a risk
okay thank thank you okay screwed
in l
oh where are the I mean
uh as North Hollywood okay so I'll I'll
just go I'll cut straight to the point um we found one we haven't actually gone
to pick it up yet but it's a little far away from us but we found one for
275 um is that is that close to what you
were able to charge for it or should we just go get the other
one you could do it for 250 what what kind of card is
it is it a reference or like a could I
get the exact model sorry it has a water cooler on
it yeah
250 North Hollywood yeah uh let me let
me just uh are are you wanting to TI it's a 980
TI uh hold on a second we might we might have ourselves a deal did you want to
get together today like very
soon my phone just died oh my goodness
my power just turned off oh terrible
next week on scrapyard Wars okay so what
we have to know then though is is um I
see there's a little note in the Box uh
when did you figure out who we were do you think just talking about blatant
cheating now at this point
