it's scrapyard wars time again and it's going to be a little different instead
of having two teams competing to see who can build the fastest gaming pc within a
given budget we are going to have two teams compete to see who can build the
best overall gaming setup within a
shoestring budget that's right gaming tower monitor keyboard mouse desk and
even chair all have to be purchased for
just six hundred dollars per contestant
so this is it my friends 3 600 canadian
rupees let's get started
and it's brought to you by honey yes my friends you can save all this money and
more with honey the free browser extension that helps you save money
online check it out at joinhoney.com
scrap yard they were generous enough to bring you this entire series of videos
so make sure that you guys show them some love down in the comments on their
site install honey do some shopping did i tell you it's free it's awesome save
money for free now you might wonder how we determine who has the best overall
gaming setup when we can't just benchmark a solution to that the answer
is the tournament we are about to participate in right now so guys this
is how your team is going to be determined we're going to split things up as fairly as we can and determine the
winner based on the overall gaming
performance of the teams versus each other once they've completed their setup
now a lot of these rules will be familiar if you're a scrapyard wars veteran but there are some new ones your
system must be composed of a pc monitor keyboard mouse desk and chair a minimum
of three hundred dollars and a maximum of eight hundred dollars has to be spent
per system so there's a lot of room for creativity in there the system must be
enclosed luke
and not touching the floor the chair and desk must survive the
competition luke
the games we'll be using to evaluate the skill of our participants are csgo
overwatch and dirt rally 2. we can't
really ban people from playing these games outside of work hours but i think
gentlemen's agreement we probably shouldn't be spending
every waking moment outside of work playing these games
any other questions are computers assigned to people so if my computer
isn't ready by the game time can i let someone can i use someone else's while
weaker player is the one who doesn't have a computer realistically your team won't have a weaker player oh my god it
is up to the teams to decide how to allocate computers and peripherals as
they see fit
this is the wrong game i think we're supposed to be playing siege is this a timed game or
oh god come on why does it keep zooming in are we knifing what was that luke
what the hell was that get rekt son yup
yup 99 damage let it be known that i've only played this game like twice that's
two more times than me so no way i won yeah were you in last yeah
really shut up i'm i've never played this game before
yeah but you just point and click what the hell you can have a turret uh
i just got monkey punched a turret no
luke so you're cold god
this turret pop your alt on me
you serious you know i'm large but you can shoot other people god damn
everybody team up on luke there's four people shooting me there's only six of
us in the game stay away from me luke
i don't know how to do anything other than fire my primary weapon so
you got me from like way across the map our next game is a racing game and i'm
informed it's more of like a simulation style racing game oh don't show anyone
this footage what are you doing james baby jesus we're flying
oh no no no
no i flipped
oh what the smashed windshield doesn't matter if you're uh behind the car oh my
god that's a lot better
um i did quite poorly because mouse and keyboard but uh
i'm guessing it's a w i don't actually know so basically here's how it works
depending on how we all performed in the games on equal footing we're going to
divide up the teams evenly and then it's basically going to come
down to who can build the best gaming setups so csgo was Colton luke then me
overwatch was Jake by a country mile followed closely by luke and me
and then everyone else dirt rally was alex Colton then me so
what does it come to then
all right team team calyx is that what our name is
that's two kinds i'm the l
let's call our team just the winning team it's going to be really
embarrassing when you lose Colton's the top scoring player wow am i
the team captain this is a weird turn of events
um why do you flinch when i raise my i don't know what you're gonna do what
what was the options kitchen or a writer's area for sure all right nice
it's like overwatch in 3v3 it's like we got this yes
i'm not worried about overwatch at all he's playing soldier all right
throw it in the air again am i in over here can i start um one
thing we should figure out as well right now is like minimum and recommended
specs for these games like what type what where dirt is gonna be the problem
i think because the other two games can run on pretty craptastic hardware cs go
CPU is going to be important i think we want something it's got to be at least
quad core newer than core 2 generation because that's going to hit us hard so
like a 2600k would be awesome or a 3700k
i just found a dining stop a table and four chairs for 20 bucks do we have a
vehicle that can take it that's a good question are we allowed to use a work truck i book it for all times that
you're not using it for the rest of the week that's very fake
like if you have something specific you need to pick up go ahead and use it okay
asking that settings hi that's a lot what res
1080 is not that hard to run 90 minimum 1080 high on a thing that's recommending
us a 1070 that's going to be rough well what if we bought a bunch of pre-builds
today and then just practiced all week i don't think that's going to give us
enough of an advantage i think that's a way better advantage than just having a
slightly better computer well if this pre-built can't run the
game we're trying to run i-5 4460 with
the with a gtx 1060
for 430 bucks in coquitlam Linux also said
that we can play the games outside of work we can't really ban people from
playing these games outside of work hours he just doesn't want us spending
every waking minute yeah but i think uh
gentlemen's agreement we probably shouldn't be spending
every waking moment outside of work playing these games so idea number one
crts i'm down
for monitors if we can find them cheap are we able to
we can probably find them free these really aren't worth that much
can i and i am super desperate
for monitor can i come pick it up for 10
okay i'm going to try and get that crt for 10 bucks so here's the listing clearly a crt
monitor message is back this is not crt monitor
it is 17-inch lcd monitor with sound system and tv tuner and video inputs i
bought it for eight hundred dollars i'm sure you googled the specs of this monitor sorry you can't do
what by the way i have a crt 17-inch monitor you can
have that for ten dollars why don't you just say that in the first
place a huge disappointment for me today was
that my idea of going and getting crt monitors
is basically a bad idea the only two i found were six hundred and fifty and
fifteen hundred dollars because they were like oh like really good ones that
all the vintage gamers want i'm like crap that's not what i'm looking for
another idea i had is one table for all of us well even the stools
i was going to say i can grab like a chainsaw from home and i can go out and
get a tree and i can just make some stools out of like a tree really yeah
i'd be free where would you find the tree i got to go a little further out so
one thing about the whole desk thing is that i've got steph's jeep for the next
two days i knew it i wasn't being punished being put on your team i
literally woke up this morning i was like she's like i have a good day and i
was like i'm taking your jeep and then she just like wide-eyed me and then i was like have a good day and i left
that's literally what happened oh this card was used for dota 2 and got about
80 FPS
um i have one really bad idea yeah one power supply just get one good one power
all the computers off of it uh okay that would be a good idea but getting the
splitters for them is hard i was thinking just getting wire um
i think there's a reason you don't do that do we want to do 600 per person and
try to build balanced systems i think balanced is the way to go balance is the
way to go and like we know like what to spend the money on and what not to we
also need to figure out if there's any extra expenses that we're going to incur
so alex you need a controller correct no i like
i won there on the keyboard having a better mouse for the FPS's would
probably go a lot okay so we're going better mice
crappy keyboards yeah correct like
from a bin is dirt rally too hard to run
it's not super hard like if you put the settings down in the gutter it's
pretty easy no we have to all run the same settings
it has standardized settings that we'll be running they're pretty high as far as
i recall when i was driving here this morning i was like you know it'd be pretty sick to have Jake on my team
because he's like kind of a jerk about
like getting deals and that would be sick
on my team does jacob like half offer someone and
just not care at all i'm gonna say for my nephew for christmas yeah or no not
for christmas birthday birthday too far from christmas okay um oh boy i'm a
terrible human being hello hey man i'm calling about the the gaming pc you have
for sale on craigslist uh yes uh you got time to talk right now
sure okay so i just like a couple things basically i'm trying to build a computer
for my little brother for his birthday or find a computer for him because he really wants to play minecraft
this seemed like it would be good specs for that but i'm wondering if there's any wiggle room on your price
i kind of kind of a bit limited on the mini system budget the is there here
uh the acer one yeah the insert uh the power supply has
been changed and it's for the card right oh it is it's a new one
it's not a new power supply but it's been changed so that it would
uh support the card right because at 1060 you can't drop that right right it
just it's just kind of kind of like a no name brand
so it's a 500 watt that's in there right yeah i just it's kind of like a no-name
brand like you know i've never
gotta get what you pay for right yeah yeah exactly you know at that price
you can't expect it you know well that's what yeah that's what i mean i'd like to
uh to replace it with something so like with that in mind do you think you could
do like 350 because i still got to buy a monitor and keyboard and mouse
i could do would be 385 38 385
yeah can we call it 380 and uh so save me the the change
okay oh we're going to lowball that guy when we when we go pick this up he'll
take 350. 100 one of the things i try to do when i'm buying stuff on craigslist
is spec it out like on ebay on other prices as
individual parts and just you know kind of throw that at them like you know this doesn't really
make sense but i think he might be pretty close on the
money especially for getting a keyboard and a mouse i'm trying to get or build a
computer for my little brother for his birthday so that that system without the
without the graphics card yes 220. 220
without the SSD yeah okay that's not bad is there any
advantage for us to spend less than our total amount of money no so we we should
spend all of it yeah if we can okay to recap a bit this guy is selling
all these stuff new so we're gonna be paying kind of retail price but he can
get us an i5 with eight gigs of RAM no SSD but we'll have a hard drive at least
for only 220 bucks how much do we want to spend on monitors
uh i'm willing to spend more on monitors i would rather spend less on the are you
saying you want to do monitors like last we need a decent mouse and a decent
monitor i feel like mouse and monitor are going to be our latest purchases can we get keyboards yeah we can get
i'll look for keyboards it will hurt my soul but you can change your name i thought they
like don't let you do that i think so i'm gonna try it name literally name
edit i'm doing it right now my name is now dennis potter my profile picture is
like some generic cat and then that's fine that's all people are gonna see
like if you message somebody on facebook marketplace all that comes up is just
the little bubble in the name i mean if they dig into my profile to figure it out but like it's fine should i leave my
last name my last name is pretty yeah you should change your last name for sure i have to leave it like this for 60
days wait what wait what did i just do i just changed
my mom my mom's gonna send a message in like a day and be like were you hacked
honey well that's pretty brutal that i'm gonna be that for 60 days you know what
it's all in the name of winning if there's a worthy cause out there
it's winning at any cost dennis pogba dennis potter and then that's a little
kitty cat i have no idea whose cat that is i gotta change the just the bio
though what do you think of this picture from my bio
it's actually my little brother
okay i'm sort of the craigslist king so i'm gonna start on that yeah you start
on that i have a lot of experience selling things on facebook marketplace
so hey this is a very poorly laid out spreadsheet lay it out then
what do you want it needs well it just needs like
dumping grounds like yeah deal
link description price okay by the way i'm getting
messages from all of my facebook friends being like why are you named dennis and
my sister just sent me a message and said oh my god you got a cute orange
kitten because i stole that picture and put it as my profile picture
nobody's messaged me on facebook because i don't have any friends
i hope luke forgets about app-based shopping

scrapyard how do we even do this
what even is this i'm using van people.com which looks like this
like i don't it's insane i don't know how you're supposed to read any of this
well i mean even if you could read the language it's so messy there's stuff
everywhere i google translated it that makes it
more manageable but there's still stuff everywhere it's incredibly difficult to navigate this website but i don't think
lioness the other guy's gonna be looking on here and i have so far found samsung
22 inch wide screen lcd hd display 50 bucks this website's amazing right next
to a five dollar keyboard there's a g wagon it's just like what whatever thanks for
the email dude what that was my 10 and 60. oh why did you tell me
what okay but we could buy it for listed what's your listed price
oh no would you have taken 150 bucks from a stranger
low fuel
i didn't even get to like shake that guy's hand or anything at the end i think these tables and chairs need a
wipe down but they'll do i'm pretty sure that the
other team is just gonna get the same kind of stuff they're gonna probably
just get kitchen tables or maybe like the best thing they're gonna get is
like a very cheap like cheap office furniture
that they get from a blowout sale somewhere
which by the way i have a lead on in vancouver but other than that they're gonna have
crappy stuff too so i don't really care if they see our stuff
there is an office in coquitlam that's getting rid of all of their like tables
chairs filing cabinets and stuff like that the posting was done like just over
an hour ago so i don't think the other teams had enough time to actually jump
on it as fast as we were able to whoa whoa whoa whoa
no way our team captain is killing it he found
free chairs and desks already meanwhile
alex and i have not secured a single deal i've got a pretty i have a deal you
you've secured a deal yeah there's the 470 and a motherboard that i'm getting
tomorrow oh that's a done deal oh okay never mind well i haven't secured a
single deal oh dude we are in business baby
all right so we just rolled up and they have lots of stuff so we're gonna have
to go through it my only problem is the same thing as before i don't
think we're gonna be able to fit as much stuff as i'd like in this thing
probably should have taken the work truck in hindsight but like that's fine
we'll be able to get enough all we need is a tabletop really this place reeks
like marijuana that's all i smell yeah you smile
actually this could even work potentially
how's it going uh we do we have a youtube channel
called Linus tech tips and we're doing like oh wow we're doing like a competition to build like
uh gaming setups and we're trying to do it like thrifty style kind of thing so
really that's hilarious
oh thank you are you the one actually i'm i'm one of
the them oh close though
fair enough we'll try to take as much as we possibly can
okay got it don't touch any of that stuff but we'd have to pay for anything
because we broke the rule okay um we're gonna
take this one out
and then this side here comes
we do you can really just
fantastic okay cool yeah we're gonna do that then that's what we're gonna do
last question for you do you have any keyboards at all okay
totally fine if not
oh yeah interesting what the heck i don't know
i wonder if we have any honestly like i think we might have wireless dongles so
i mean if you don't need it i mean i would say there you go
thank you so much yeah
sweet thank you so much
i think now we should kind of get back to the office or maybe
check facebook again maybe we should check facebook again one more time before heading back to the office what
else we got i can potentially get an r9 280 three Gigabyte for 80 bucks in
burnaby today is that even a good deal though here's a
3.4 gigahertz quad core with 8 gigs of RAM and a 1050 ti it's ready to rock
for 345 bucks that's really not bad and then we just have a computer
yeah i'm really worried about peripherals
wait which one did i just message did i just message the wrong person i
think my message was still relevant no i said six core workstation right in the
title and he had the uh oh my god i signed it
delta serverstore.com who i have never heard of
seems to be a server and workstation refurbisher who presumably
is based in delta oh delta ontario
rip ah thanks kijiji
uh so this guy said that he can drive it to me tonight but there's cancer i just tell him that like i work during the
night just say look you know when i get home
from work my girlfriend just she attacks me yeah it's just a smash-a-thon all
evening yeah sorry i can't computer stuff is a total turn-off for
her story checks out
um i just like spammed a bunch of people on facebook marketplace i got three
responses right away uh one of them is agreed to put the chair outside their
place in langley at i think 5 p.m
and the other two i'm waiting to hear back on if i can just grab it right now
but they did say it's available so they should be able to get back to me pretty quick
easy ones free stuff because you're just like thanks they're like
thanks and then you leave
one of the wheels is missing on the bottom i just realized that's gonna be kind of a problem but
like it should be fine because the other like six wheels are there i'm just kind of calling around to some computer
stores to see if anybody if they have anything that they're about to throw out
that might not be of any value to you guys but might you know work as a case or
something like that well unfortunately we just had our recycling guys pick up all the stuff oh
damn xeon for 250 i thought you're doing a 26 well there's two so i have the one
um that doesn't have a graphics card with a 2600k for 200 bucks and then this
one is a zeon and an rx 470. people aren't going to want to buy this one
either because it has a xeon and people are going to be like well that's spooky
server stuff but that's actually a really solid CPU is that xeon 2 low end
would we have to upgrade that no it's a 20 it's a 1270 v3 it's like really solid
Jake's got lines on two desktops that looks like
really good ideas and i'm trying to figure out the third monitor but the
best option i have for that um the person
definitely only speaks chinese so i'm gonna wait for andy to come back and
hopefully andy can give him a call he he just replied me
and he's saying that all like the monitor i own is like full hd
and the keyboard is brand new and i can do two for like 50.
okay i mean that's still a good deal so that's cool hi i was wondering if your
uh the monitor that you had listed is still available the lg monitor
yeah okay uh would i be able to pick it up
tomorrow by any chance nope okay awesome uh can you do 35 bucks
okay cool okay so luke just sent me on another mission
we're gonna go get a monitor from the first guy and then at the second stop
we're gonna get another monitor two keyboards and a mouse
and hopefully we'll make it back here by the end of the day so how that kind of
sets us up is we have one full tower that's done
we're gonna be having one tower that's great except it's missing a graphics
card we have one tower that's a giant question mark right now so we need like
a GPU and one more tower that's not that bad especially it's still the first day
i didn't even try to negotiate the guy down he had a whole room
full of computers and laptops and mining rigs and stuff so clearly he's
buying and reselling it's actually just like a straight acer pre-built that you
would get from like a a business wholesale auction
with a graphics card slapped in there and a better power supply but hopefully
she should be good enough okay so it sounds like Jake's pretty
well set up to be honest i didn't realize that he had already
lined up another 1060 for the second system so that effectively means
our first two systems are completely done
okay quick uh quick question for you Jake found the last computer
uh guy offered it to him it was 450 bucks but i had budgeted 400 dollars per
tower and we had spent 340 on one of
them and 380
on the other so we had saved
80 dollars total already and then that
tower was 50 over so we still ended up saving 30
dollars in total on all of the towers hope i don't spend too much time around
hey man what's up all right nice to meet you
yeah did i say that
i said luke actually because i'm my friend who called you earlier was me
it was my friend lou i'm pretty sure
thank you so much thank you take care
are you guys parked out on the road yeah we
definitely parked illegally my only concern during the monitor test i wanted
to make sure that indeed was hd i wanted to see that it was
running at 60 hertz it does look pretty smeary but it's not like
broken smeary i was just moving some Windows around to make sure that it
wasn't like a total sandbox but it doesn't look great for
the price it's good enough i think i won big on the teammates um
they're both hungry you know they want to win um we do have the best gamer out
of the group apparently we're gonna win i think we're gonna win my biggest
concern honestly speaking is me this time around because i could i held my
own in cs go but overwatch
i have no idea what i'm doing and dirt rally even though i did put up a pretty
good time that was my second run guys i didn't
even finish the first time i am sweating so hard right now
i'm stressed out i i honestly my biggest concern right now is that i'm extremely
relaxed and this is probably the first time on a
day one over scrapyard wars i've been relaxed i i think we have too much money
i think that's what's going on i need to figure out monitors
okay i also need a CPU cooler
make sure it's socket compatible
five inches tall you know when your spec is five inches tall you're going to have
no idea what we're asking when we want to know what socket it fits on here's
three monitors for 190 dollars in the nylon
fly there vlog there fly there so i'm blown away that cheap monitors are so
hard to find like you can get a cheap tv easier than a monitor it feels like but
i came up with one idea here searching for a specific brand seems to yield more
usable results i put in nec monitor now
i'm 20 bucks 20 bucks 20 bucks
okay so we just need to search for like old brands here's a 1080p one for 20
bucks a sir not bad does it have a stand or
it does not have a stand it does not have a stand that should be
fine yeah we can just prop it up vga only watch out for that rough
but are we i guess that depends on if we have vga
we probably won't i mean we could make this work we're allowed to steal screws from the
workshop and as long as we have a piece of two by four to screw into our table
and some screws to like friggin yeah it should be fine some tape
yeah i wouldn't mind artings that monitor just to make sure it doesn't
have like 80 milliseconds of input lag or something stupid like that yeah we
can check that out so tony the guy with
the computer that we thought was a pretty good deal but actually maybe isn't a great deal but also who had all
the peripherals and stuff um
he's about 10 minutes from here do you want to show i don't think i can
show up there because i had my name on my profile at first when i was messaging
him uh but you want to go check it out uh sure
okay i and so what exactly have you
negotiated here also Colton's saying that the free office chairs look rank as
um that's fine yeah who cares i'm okay with ranked
chairs you're saying walmart has something no no no no no no no no
rank chairs
will hose down
and also i need like the whole dl on like buddy who i'm going to see because
it seems like you had quite a saga there yeah i'll send that over to
you so we're going for basic keyboards monitor
and headsets maybe yeah i'll just go take a look buddy with
the six core workstation for 160 has a pending sale
it's the other guys yeah the good news is that this CPU is really slow
so what was the GPU in that one
uh basically unusable they'd be replacing it it's like an fx something
like quadro fx no yeah
but this thing is upgradable like it's
it's usable so that's good for us to know
are you searching monitor or screen
i could try screen computer screen
you have craigslisted before i feel like i need to wear crappier clothing
tomorrow like i'm showing up in a sports car
wearing basically like young professional clothing and i'm going to
lowball this guy like it's not going to add up hello tony hey
nice to meet you come on in don't worry about your shoes we're heading down to the top all right man how much is it for
this guy uh well i know when i talked
with him before we were trying to do a full computer and stuff so
yeah i found another one so yeah yeah no worries
um i was thinking
we do 15 bucks a set for all three per set so be 45 for three keyboards
mouse and headset so i only need one mouse really okay okay fair enough
so if we're looking at like this keyboard this one
yeah um
you need the headsets or no ideally yes okay
just don't want to spend too much on them because you can
get cheap ones yeah i agree they're pretty cheap
i don't need all of these mice i only need one
you only need one yeah okay well i'll take uh we'll go
40 bucks then the guy immediately recognized me so
i couldn't really do any like low balling or stuff but
i did get three keyboards three headsets
two mice and an Intel stalk cooler so you've like
actually got like kind of decent usable looking shiz in here yeah hey i i
contributed to the team today i got a lead
okay so how much did you pay for all this 40 bucks alex came back with a bit
of peripherals the guy did recognize him but he only bought what we had already
negotiated in our messages so we should be in good shape there we are set on
headsets keyboards and we've actually got a mouse that he
forgot to take and he's on his way back there to go get
hey um sorry the most
totally i didn't notice it myself and i went back down there and saw it like
it's not too far away well thank you
all right got the mouse you know mild blow to the pride
honestly speaking i felt kind of useless today um i'm a little foggy from getting
over a cold and i probably could have handled keeping track of all my
different line items in my budget for one system but three systems i was just
finding kind of overwhelming towards the end of the day i managed to
get something down on paper and the budget is looking like it could sort of
be balanced but other than Colton's desks and chairs like we didn't really
get anything today actually no that's not true we did get our headsets and
keyboards you guys ready to see your new tables and chairs yeah are they that bad
wait what dude they got like a patio set
i mean that's one way to do it they're not gonna be able to fit all of their
systems on that look at that thing
