1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,120
so as you can see we got our million dollar plaque billion million subscriber plaque and then we

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:11,200
got our multiple hundred thousand well some things but i don't think it's

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:15,200
really gold but my actual my favorite lot of money it does and then the silver

4
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:19,920
ones too like if that's all solid that's quite a bit of money and then so welcome

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:23,359
to scrapyard wars you guys might be wondering

6
00:00:21,119 --> 00:00:27,680
what's up with all the mad stacks well this crapyard wars is going to be a

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:32,559
little bit different we are going to build a computer we are going to build a

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:35,600
good value computer but there is no set

9
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:40,160
budget the challenge today with our special guest austin evans is to build

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:44,640
the best bang for the buck computer we'll be using five different benchmarks

11
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:50,960
tomb raider far cry 4 cinebench pc mark and 3dmark firestrike to determine who

12
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:54,280
has gotten the most possible value for

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,280
their money

14
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:15,040
all right friends boom care package from brand d brand

15
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:20,560
skinned oh yes sirs

16
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,880
so we got an s6 edge plus

17
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:30,479
we got a note 5 and we got yes my friends

18
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:33,759
macbook airs pearl

19
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:33,759
it's what i always wanted

20
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:41,119
okay so these are the tools

21
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:45,280
that we'll be using to do all of our scrap yard

22
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:49,759
warring thanks to dbrand let's see uh i think my macbook air is supposed to be

23
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:53,680
like a special one so orange

24
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:57,759
yes i believe that one that one is it so you guys can flip over the other two

25
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:02,560
because i am totally going for this is a new orange finish from them that looks

26
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:06,640
absolutely sickle though i gotta say i like the wood grain that orange is

27
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:10,479
pretty pretty nice i would match my wood grain if i got wood grain on the laptop

28
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,400
no wood sure i'd always want one

29
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:19,440
okay so i don't know about you guys but i got my dbrand phone

30
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:22,319
i got my chest strap done up oh you got the real stuff right here

31
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:27,360
yeah you got the real stuff right right yeah me too bro so

32
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:30,560
let's go no holds barred scrapyard wars no holds barred case bros

33
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,480
wait actually i need my laptop where did my laptop go

34
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:41,840
here it is okay uh i really have to pee let's go dude uh

35
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,840
how do we get out of here

36
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:48,120
okay all right so basically my plan right now is

37
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,560
there we go okay totally thought the door was locked all

38
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,080
right so the plan right now is to just get out of here so

39
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:03,360
i think it looks way more legit if we're like not here so where are we going it's

40
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,720
a great question uh let's not be here let's just drive a little ways and

41
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:11,920
figure this out so okay potential problem number one

42
00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:16,400
i actually haven't even done any pre-thought i've been so busy that i

43
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:20,959
haven't had any time to figure out how i'm gonna tackle this challenge

44
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:24,720
potential problem number two there's three of us this time there's

45
00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:28,319
going to be craigslist crap that's listed two weeks ago that they get no

46
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:32,080
calls about and they're gonna have three people calling them today

47
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:37,840
so it is going to be a race against the clock to win scrapyard wars three

48
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:40,799
which obviously means it's a great idea that i'm sitting here on a couch i

49
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,239
should really get going so i'm gonna try to save some money by

50
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,879
avoiding a case i'm gonna try to build everything onto like a cardboard box or

51
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:51,120
something it's all about price to performance so

52
00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:54,720
if i spend like even half the budget i almost feel like

53
00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:57,360
we're gonna go over because i don't know i'm thinking like seven

54
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:01,360
hundred dollars something like that you know of a cool spot around here like i

55
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:05,920
know my hotels over here what's the cool spot like we could hang out um we're in

56
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:11,360
langley so nowhere oh that is some wicked gas

57
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:16,560
we're not in the car yet though so it's okay

58
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:18,959
oh man oh wow that's like that is some

59
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:22,240
outdoor grade gas one of my biggest concerns is that i think we're gonna be

60
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,960
fighting for parts uh i think we're gonna be fighting for parts because i

61
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:29,280
don't think there's actually that many for sale right now i'm wondering if it has something to do with the canadian

62
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,880
dollar being in the tank at the moment oh my goodness is

63
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:41,070
that mine they're just sitting on the ground it's my tip

64
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:49,759
so one of our dastardly plans is to send

65
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:52,000
responses from craigslist ad posters to

66
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:58,240
those guys that they never actually messaged so we'll try and we'll try and

67
00:04:54,240 --> 00:05:01,280
get them off the trail get them confused

68
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,520
so we're all gonna be on craigslist

69
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:07,840
we're all gonna be trying to find

70
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:11,520
the same deals or maybe not because the way that i see it there's

71
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:17,360
actually a few different ways to tackle this we can try and get the cheapest

72
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:22,960
possible computer that is at least capable of running the benchmarks

73
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:24,400
and hope the other guys spend way more

74
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:29,680
or we can go for like the traditional bang

75
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:34,720
for the buck pc somewhere in the seven to eleven hundred dollar range and win

76
00:05:32,479 --> 00:05:37,759
the benchmarks and hope the other guys aren't able to get great value for the

77
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,840
dollar i frankly don't know what the answer is

78
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:46,080
right now yeah what if we try to do like a hundred dollar gaming pc build i don't

79
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:50,880
know if it's necessarily going to be awesome but it's price for performance

80
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:54,240
right so if this is as tenth as good as if they spend a thousand dollars then we

81
00:05:52,479 --> 00:05:57,199
actually win so this could work it's only ten dollars

82
00:05:55,759 --> 00:06:00,080
and it's even here this could work

83
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:09,199
maybe okay so i just got a 220 offer on a r9

84
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:11,199
290. box of video cards oh we're we're

85
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:15,919
calling this guy we're calling this guy that looks like an 8600 gts like if we

86
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:19,759
can just taking up space on a shelf if we can get that for like two bucks or

87
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:24,160
five bucks or something we might be in pretty good shape it's an option

88
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:27,680
so i'm calling the guy with the r9 280 for 130 bucks i'm going to offer him 120

89
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:33,520
if he doesn't take it i'm still going to do it can you do 120 bucks awesome uh when do

90
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:38,400
you want me to come pick it up yeah yeah but port moody's like a city like i need

91
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:42,160
to know where okay so i got a

92
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:47,360
r9 280 for 120 bucks i really wanted to get that 290 but i don't think the price

93
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:51,280
per performance is worth it when the 290 would be

94
00:06:48,479 --> 00:06:54,960
over a hundred dollars or no basically exactly a hundred dollars more i don't

95
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:58,479
know there's there's some funny math there because you have to calculate in

96
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:01,599
the whole rest of the system as well but i think a 280 is going to be good

97
00:06:59,919 --> 00:07:05,440
and i think i need to move on to other things so i'll go with that if i'm

98
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:09,039
learning anything from this is that people like to really overprice their

99
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:14,080
old pc hardware like people likes are like oh my my six-year-old gaming pc is

100
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:18,479
worth 800 it was worth 1200 five years ago like no dude it's worth like 300 get

101
00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:23,680
over yourself canadian used market in general is just

102
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:25,599
because uh the turnover is so low yeah

103
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,000
dude yeah i mean i'm just seeing tons of junk here and every once i see something

104
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:32,560
cool like yeah okay so this is a g4 7900 for

105
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:36,000
50 i mean it's got s video on it it's not

106
00:07:34,479 --> 00:07:40,560
going to be worth 50 i don't care what you say wow a lot of this stuff is

107
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:44,400
pretty brutal is that a 9 600 for 10 bucks though

108
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:49,599
that's not bad let's save that in the numbers sheet

109
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:53,840
the best thing to do this is going to be a disadvantage for austin in this whole

110
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:58,479
competition because he hasn't done this before but the best thing to do is right

111
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:02,960
in the first couple hours put out as many feelers as possible yeah you're

112
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:06,400
right this does take a long time i also totally want to find like a pawn

113
00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:09,680
shop or something car oh dude that's a good idea

114
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:18,879
that's a great idea yeah like the car just like runs out there's a q 9650 CPU

115
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:21,919
i'm still potentially interested in that if i can get it for the right price i

116
00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:28,240
think we're gonna need a quad core to win uh that cinebench is gonna make a big

117
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:32,560
difference i wonder how austin's doing at this point like new city like he

118
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:37,599
doesn't even know where any of these sub regions are like he's gonna be like oh

119
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:41,599
yale town that's probably pretty close okay i think we might have found

120
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:46,320
something here a pair of 7950 graphics cards for 150 and that's both of them so

121
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:50,800
basically one of them actually they were both used for bitcoin mining but i don't

122
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:56,240
really care as long as it works for long enough where i can actually like benchmark that could work 150

123
00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:03,279
where is this 13th avenue is that burnaby

124
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:05,200
was that anywhere near burnaby newest

125
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:08,560
do you have any idea where that is scrapyard wars will be right back after

126
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:12,080
these messages this episode of scrapyard wars is

127
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:15,279
brought to you by dbrand makers of the precision cut vinyl skins that you'll

131
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:34,480
scrapyard wars i'm trying to work on system so what i'm trying to find now i

132
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:38,000
have a graphics card i'm probably not going to look for a case power supply

133
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:43,920
i'm probably going to have to get on its own and so what i'm looking for right now is

134
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:46,240
motherboard processor memory essentially

135
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:50,080
and a hard drive i guess but i might try to sneak an SSD in there if i can i just

136
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:56,800
don't know if it'll be worth it because most of our benchmarks are CPU or GPU

137
00:09:54,160 --> 00:10:01,120
60 for an SSD that could be that could be all right maybe i think

138
00:09:58,959 --> 00:10:03,839
you might be able to get a new SSD or around that they probably wouldn't be

139
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:10,320
that it's probably not that much cheaper but we also maybe try to get that guy down a little bit so this guy wants 60

140
00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:11,760
bucks for a 120 gig SSD that is so

141
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:17,519
not happening 60 dollars for price

142
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:20,800
you can buy brand new 240 gigs for

143
00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:22,480
98 dollars so

144
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,279
i'll see if i can get him to be a little bit more realistic

145
00:10:26,079 --> 00:10:30,560
now you should know luke almost lost his money

146
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:34,560
yeah i was just wondering if you were interested in selling parts of it at all

147
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:38,240
yeah yeah that's a pretty good point um i was only interested in the

148
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:43,120
motherboard processor

149
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:46,240
RAM and potentially power supply i call them up i'm like are you interested in

150
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:49,440
selling just the parts and he's like oh yeah totally that was my first idea when

151
00:10:48,079 --> 00:10:53,040
i was gonna put on craigslist was i was just gonna part it out and he ends the

152
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:57,519
phone call like well i'm okay with selling the parts if you buy all of them

153
00:10:55,839 --> 00:11:03,200
so so far i've got a graphics card that i'm picking up at three something that

154
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:05,360
was a r9 280 for 120 bucks i don't know

155
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:08,160
if that's like necessarily the best deal i could get

156
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:12,560
but i wanted to move on to system because i did notice that a lot of my

157
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:15,360
target processors they're kind of scarce right now i can't find very many of them

158
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:19,440
so i had a whole bunch of graphics card options and was like okay i just want to

159
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,279
get that out of the way i should have maybe done that later

160
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:26,959
but whatever i'm really trying to find my platform right now and having a

161
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:32,240
little bit of trouble with it ah dude i think this might be it 150 for 279 50s

162
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:35,120
that's gonna kill it all right this is this is we totally need to go this way

163
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,000
so now let's try to find some other parts and start calling that's totally the way to go dude that's that's it

164
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,440
that's that those are our cards right there so for a lot of the components i'm

165
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:48,079
just going to be kind of browsing what's out there and buying whatever but for

166
00:11:45,839 --> 00:11:52,480
the graphics card i think i have to shop a little bit smarter so i'm going to be

167
00:11:49,839 --> 00:11:59,279
using anantech's bench repository in order to compare graphics

168
00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:02,240
cards across generations and then from

169
00:11:59,279 --> 00:12:08,240
looking at it briefly i'm feeling pretty good about the approach of going with a

170
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:13,600
tahiti based card so either a

171
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:14,959
280 or 280x or a 7950 or 7970 i think

172
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,560
that's where we're gonna get the best bang for our buck so i'm gonna lowball

173
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:23,440
this 280x and kind of go from there

174
00:12:20,959 --> 00:12:27,680
okay so this is how i write a craigslist email how's it going saw your listing

175
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:30,560
for the pair of 7950s i plan on building a gaming pc and was wondering if you've

176
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:35,279
made sure they can game i don't plan on mining but want to make sure both cards are fully working thanks because i've

177
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:39,600
got to be polite i'm in canada so fire that off

178
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:44,320
and hopefully we hear back okay i'm just being like a little [ __ ]

179
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:49,839
hi i'm um contacting you about the 280x for sale are you firm on the price

180
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,600
i don't think i can spend that much

181
00:12:49,839 --> 00:12:55,680
whenever someone contacts you like that whenever they open with that they're a

182
00:12:52,959 --> 00:12:58,480
loser well not like a loser but like getting a better price makes you a

183
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:03,440
winner yo but uh being a little [ __ ] hey here's a

184
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:08,240
good deal on an SSD let's see if this guy has a phone number

185
00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:12,639
40 bucks call all right i'm gonna offer i'm gonna offer 30 for a 120 gig if i

186
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:17,519
can get it i'm feeling really good about my storage

187
00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:19,760
drive who uses a home phone number i

188
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:23,519
can't even text that so i'm gonna i'm gonna just oh man i'm gonna play every

game in the book SSD on craigslist um i can come get it

190
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:31,920
today if you can do 30 do you have anything else for sale i'm trying to

191
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:38,240
build a budget gaming pc for a friend of mine who's moving away who could say no

192
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,839
to someone trying to buy a present

193
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:43,040
maybe next time it'll be like my six sister or something she broke her ARM

194
00:13:41,839 --> 00:13:48,560
and she can't go out much so we're getting her gaming computer

195
00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:51,920
look you might be judging me here but i

196
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:52,720
have a competition to win so

197
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:57,279
yeah i did say no holds barred this is the

198
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,519
guy with the lots of older computer stuff

199
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:04,079
um come he says come take a look should we just should we just go check it out okay

200
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:10,800
i've come across an interesting discovery there's a 7950 gx2 that's a

201
00:14:07,199 --> 00:14:13,600
dual GPU card the guy's asking 25 bucks

202
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:18,560
if i can get that for like 10 or something

203
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:23,040
i could be in really good shape

204
00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:23,040
no that's a directx 9 part

205
00:14:24,079 --> 00:14:30,880
okay i knew i knew when we were choosing the

206
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:35,279
benchmarks that we should have gone with something older than far cry 4

207
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:39,680
but it looks like you have to run it on dx10 or dx11

208
00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:43,600
hardware so right now i've switched from buying

209
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:49,760
that that r9 280 to an r9 200 or 290 i

210
00:14:47,199 --> 00:14:54,639
haven't told the 280 guy yet because the 290 guy seems a little bit flaky so

211
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:58,480
i think i'm gonna wait until i get a actual confirm from him so the next

212
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:03,360
problem we have is just having to power these two 7950s so i started looking

213
00:15:02,079 --> 00:15:09,040
around there are not a lot of power supplies we might be able to find something used but just out of curiosity

214
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:12,959
i looked on ncix it's gonna be like 97 to get like a Corsair

215
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:19,199
we might end up having to buy some new stuff because they're the options on craigslist are not as

216
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,920
solid as i was hoping um and plus there a lot of these people think that stuff

217
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:25,120
is worth way more than it actually is so we're super stressed on time right now

218
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:29,920
um so much so that we're having delicious sushi because um you know we

219
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:33,519
got this okay so i found something decent here so this guy has an older

220
00:15:31,839 --> 00:15:37,839
computer but he's willing to part it out so you get a cooler master case with a

221
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:41,199
db rider for 20 bucks and there's a power supply a 500 watt power supply for

222
00:15:39,839 --> 00:15:48,399
30 bucks that can work but i don't think that 7950s enough to power them

223
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:52,720
what if we get two really cheap power supplies

224
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,920
oh and like tape one of the top or something yeah dude that would be so

225
00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:00,480
cool so like we basically just like have like one 500 watt power supply in the system

226
00:15:58,959 --> 00:16:04,320
like we like tape another one to the top just to power the other graphics card

227
00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:08,959
i almost want to do that purely because of how ridiculous it would be it might not even save us any money but that

228
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:13,040
would be awesome uh now we're gonna go try to hit up some local computer stores

229
00:16:10,959 --> 00:16:16,639
maybe try to find like some used cases uh we still need like a motherboard and

230
00:16:14,639 --> 00:16:20,320
memory um okay so i did not realize it's gonna be an apple specialist

231
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:25,360
i mean we're here we might as well try

232
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:29,440
yo you have the macbook right nice

233
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:34,079
okay um so slight change of plans we just left the macbook at the restaurant

234
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:39,279
no big deal but uh that was my bad so let's uh try to get

235
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,480
back to there before uh this macbook is stolen

236
00:16:42,959 --> 00:16:48,480
i can't believe i just walked off that's

237
00:16:46,399 --> 00:16:54,240
neither of us saw that right next time on scrapyard wars luke's mom

238
00:16:51,839 --> 00:16:58,320
finally gets her revenge on Linus austin's surprise visit from a friendly

239
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:05,839
grizzly bear turns harry Linus reveals the deep dark secret

240
00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:05,839
