WEBVTT

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

00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:11.200
got our multiple hundred thousand well some things but i don't think it's

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:15.200
really gold but my actual my favorite lot of money it does and then the silver

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

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:23.359
to scrapyard wars you guys might be wondering

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

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:32.559
little bit different we are going to build a computer we are going to build a

00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:35.600
good value computer but there is no set

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:40.160
budget the challenge today with our special guest austin evans is to build

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:44.640
the best bang for the buck computer we'll be using five different benchmarks

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:50.960
tomb raider far cry 4 cinebench pc mark and 3dmark firestrike to determine who

00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:54.280
has gotten the most possible value for

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.280
their money

00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:15.040
all right friends boom care package from brand d brand

00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:20.560
skinned oh yes sirs

00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:22.880
so we got an s6 edge plus

00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:30.479
we got a note 5 and we got yes my friends

00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:33.759
macbook airs pearl

00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:33.759
it's what i always wanted

00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:41.119
okay so these are the tools

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:45.280
that we'll be using to do all of our scrap yard

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

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:53.680
like a special one so orange

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

00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:02.560
because i am totally going for this is a new orange finish from them that looks

00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:06.640
absolutely sickle though i gotta say i like the wood grain that orange is

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

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:14.400
no wood sure i'd always want one

00:02:12.640 --> 00:02:19.440
okay so i don't know about you guys but i got my dbrand phone

00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:22.319
i got my chest strap done up oh you got the real stuff right here

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:27.360
yeah you got the real stuff right right yeah me too bro so

00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:30.560
let's go no holds barred scrapyard wars no holds barred case bros

00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.480
wait actually i need my laptop where did my laptop go

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:41.840
here it is okay uh i really have to pee let's go dude uh

00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.840
how do we get out of here

00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:48.120
okay all right so basically my plan right now is

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.560
there we go okay totally thought the door was locked all

00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:58.080
right so the plan right now is to just get out of here so

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

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

00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:11.920
figure this out so okay potential problem number one

00:03:10.239 --> 00:03:16.400
i actually haven't even done any pre-thought i've been so busy that i

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:20.959
haven't had any time to figure out how i'm gonna tackle this challenge

00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:24.720
potential problem number two there's three of us this time there's

00:03:22.959 --> 00:03:28.319
going to be craigslist crap that's listed two weeks ago that they get no

00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:32.080
calls about and they're gonna have three people calling them today

00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:37.840
so it is going to be a race against the clock to win scrapyard wars three

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

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:44.239
should really get going so i'm gonna try to save some money by

00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:46.879
avoiding a case i'm gonna try to build everything onto like a cardboard box or

00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:51.120
something it's all about price to performance so

00:03:48.959 --> 00:03:54.720
if i spend like even half the budget i almost feel like

00:03:52.239 --> 00:03:57.360
we're gonna go over because i don't know i'm thinking like seven

00:03:55.760 --> 00:04:01.360
hundred dollars something like that you know of a cool spot around here like i

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

00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:11.360
langley so nowhere oh that is some wicked gas

00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:16.560
we're not in the car yet though so it's okay

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:18.959
oh man oh wow that's like that is some

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:22.240
outdoor grade gas one of my biggest concerns is that i think we're gonna be

00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:24.960
fighting for parts uh i think we're gonna be fighting for parts because i

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

00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:32.880
dollar being in the tank at the moment oh my goodness is

00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:41.070
that mine they're just sitting on the ground it's my tip

00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:49.759
so one of our dastardly plans is to send

00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:52.000
responses from craigslist ad posters to

00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:58.240
those guys that they never actually messaged so we'll try and we'll try and

00:04:54.240 --> 00:05:01.280
get them off the trail get them confused

00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:03.520
so we're all gonna be on craigslist

00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:07.840
we're all gonna be trying to find

00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:11.520
the same deals or maybe not because the way that i see it there's

00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:17.360
actually a few different ways to tackle this we can try and get the cheapest

00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:22.960
possible computer that is at least capable of running the benchmarks

00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:24.400
and hope the other guys spend way more

00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:29.680
or we can go for like the traditional bang

00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:34.720
for the buck pc somewhere in the seven to eleven hundred dollar range and win

00:05:32.479 --> 00:05:37.759
the benchmarks and hope the other guys aren't able to get great value for the

00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:41.840
dollar i frankly don't know what the answer is

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

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:50.880
know if it's necessarily going to be awesome but it's price for performance

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

00:05:52.479 --> 00:05:57.199
actually win so this could work it's only ten dollars

00:05:55.759 --> 00:06:00.080
and it's even here this could work

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:09.199
maybe okay so i just got a 220 offer on a r9

00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:11.199
290. box of video cards oh we're we're

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

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

00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:24.160
five bucks or something we might be in pretty good shape it's an option

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

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

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

00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:42.160
to know where okay so i got a

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

00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:51.280
per performance is worth it when the 290 would be

00:06:48.479 --> 00:06:54.960
over a hundred dollars or no basically exactly a hundred dollars more i don't

00:06:53.280 --> 00:06:58.479
know there's there's some funny math there because you have to calculate in

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

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

00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:09.039
learning anything from this is that people like to really overprice their

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

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

00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:23.680
over yourself canadian used market in general is just

00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:25.599
because uh the turnover is so low yeah

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

00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:32.560
cool like yeah okay so this is a g4 7900 for

00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:36.000
50 i mean it's got s video on it it's not

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

00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:44.400
pretty brutal is that a 9 600 for 10 bucks though

00:07:42.400 --> 00:07:49.599
that's not bad let's save that in the numbers sheet

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

00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:58.479
competition because he hasn't done this before but the best thing to do is right

00:07:56.400 --> 00:08:02.960
in the first couple hours put out as many feelers as possible yeah you're

00:08:00.400 --> 00:08:06.400
right this does take a long time i also totally want to find like a pawn

00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:09.680
shop or something car oh dude that's a good idea

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

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

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

00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:32.560
difference i wonder how austin's doing at this point like new city like he

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

00:08:34.800 --> 00:08:41.599
yale town that's probably pretty close okay i think we might have found

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

00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:50.800
basically one of them actually they were both used for bitcoin mining but i don't

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

00:08:55.040 --> 00:09:03.279
where is this 13th avenue is that burnaby

00:08:59.920 --> 00:09:05.200
was that anywhere near burnaby newest

00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:08.560
do you have any idea where that is scrapyard wars will be right back after

00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:12.080
these messages this episode of scrapyard wars is

00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:15.279
brought to you by dbrand makers of the precision cut vinyl skins that you'll

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

00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:38.000
have a graphics card i'm probably not going to look for a case power supply

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

00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:46.240
motherboard processor memory essentially

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

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

00:09:54.160 --> 00:10:01.120
60 for an SSD that could be that could be all right maybe i think

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

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

00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.760
bucks for a 120 gig SSD that is so

00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:17.519
not happening 60 dollars for price

00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:20.800
you can buy brand new 240 gigs for

00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:22.480
98 dollars so

00:10:20.800 --> 00:10:25.279
i'll see if i can get him to be a little bit more realistic

00:10:26.079 --> 00:10:30.560
now you should know luke almost lost his money

00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:34.560
yeah i was just wondering if you were interested in selling parts of it at all

00:10:32.800 --> 00:10:38.240
yeah yeah that's a pretty good point um i was only interested in the

00:10:36.800 --> 00:10:43.120
motherboard processor

00:10:40.800 --> 00:10:46.240
RAM and potentially power supply i call them up i'm like are you interested in

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

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

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

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

00:10:59.920 --> 00:11:05.360
was a r9 280 for 120 bucks i don't know

00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:08.160
if that's like necessarily the best deal i could get

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

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

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

00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:23.279
get that out of the way i should have maybe done that later

00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:26.959
but whatever i'm really trying to find my platform right now and having a

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

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

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

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

00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:48.079
just going to be kind of browsing what's out there and buying whatever but for

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

00:11:49.839 --> 00:11:59.279
using anantech's bench repository in order to compare graphics

00:11:55.760 --> 00:12:02.240
cards across generations and then from

00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:08.240
looking at it briefly i'm feeling pretty good about the approach of going with a

00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:13.600
tahiti based card so either a

00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:14.959
280 or 280x or a 7950 or 7970 i think

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

00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:23.440
this 280x and kind of go from there

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

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

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

00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:39.600
got to be polite i'm in canada so fire that off

00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:44.320
and hopefully we hear back okay i'm just being like a little [ __ ]

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

00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:51.600
i don't think i can spend that much

00:12:49.839 --> 00:12:55.680
whenever someone contacts you like that whenever they open with that they're a

00:12:52.959 --> 00:12:58.480
loser well not like a loser but like getting a better price makes you a

00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:03.440
winner yo but uh being a little [ __ ] hey here's a

00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:08.240
good deal on an SSD let's see if this guy has a phone number

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

00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:17.519
can get it i'm feeling really good about my storage

00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:19.760
drive who uses a home phone number i

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

00:13:22.160 --> 00:13:28.160
game in the book SSD on craigslist um i can come get it

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

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

00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.839
to someone trying to buy a present

00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:43.040
maybe next time it'll be like my six sister or something she broke her ARM

00:13:41.839 --> 00:13:48.560
and she can't go out much so we're getting her gaming computer

00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:51.920
look you might be judging me here but i

00:13:48.560 --> 00:13:52.720
have a competition to win so

00:13:51.920 --> 00:13:57.279
yeah i did say no holds barred this is the

00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:59.519
guy with the lots of older computer stuff

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

00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:10.800
i've come across an interesting discovery there's a 7950 gx2 that's a

00:14:07.199 --> 00:14:13.600
dual GPU card the guy's asking 25 bucks

00:14:10.800 --> 00:14:18.560
if i can get that for like 10 or something

00:14:14.880 --> 00:14:23.040
i could be in really good shape

00:14:18.560 --> 00:14:23.040
no that's a directx 9 part

00:14:24.079 --> 00:14:30.880
okay i knew i knew when we were choosing the

00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:35.279
benchmarks that we should have gone with something older than far cry 4

00:14:33.680 --> 00:14:39.680
but it looks like you have to run it on dx10 or dx11

00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:43.600
hardware so right now i've switched from buying

00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:49.760
that that r9 280 to an r9 200 or 290 i

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

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

00:14:56.880 --> 00:15:03.360
problem we have is just having to power these two 7950s so i started looking

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

00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:12.959
i looked on ncix it's gonna be like 97 to get like a Corsair

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

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

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

00:15:23.760 --> 00:15:29.920
um so much so that we're having delicious sushi because um you know we

00:15:27.680 --> 00:15:33.519
got this okay so i found something decent here so this guy has an older

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

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

00:15:39.839 --> 00:15:48.399
30 bucks that can work but i don't think that 7950s enough to power them

00:15:45.920 --> 00:15:52.720
what if we get two really cheap power supplies

00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:55.920
oh and like tape one of the top or something yeah dude that would be so

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

00:15:58.959 --> 00:16:04.320
like we like tape another one to the top just to power the other graphics card

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

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

00:16:10.959 --> 00:16:16.639
maybe try to find like some used cases uh we still need like a motherboard and

00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:20.320
memory um okay so i did not realize it's gonna be an apple specialist

00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:25.360
i mean we're here we might as well try

00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:29.440
yo you have the macbook right nice

00:16:26.880 --> 00:16:34.079
okay um so slight change of plans we just left the macbook at the restaurant

00:16:31.680 --> 00:16:39.279
no big deal but uh that was my bad so let's uh try to get

00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:42.480
back to there before uh this macbook is stolen

00:16:42.959 --> 00:16:48.480
i can't believe i just walked off that's

00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:54.240
neither of us saw that right next time on scrapyard wars luke's mom

00:16:51.839 --> 00:16:58.320
finally gets her revenge on Linus austin's surprise visit from a friendly

00:16:56.560 --> 00:17:05.839
grizzly bear turns harry Linus reveals the deep dark secret

00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:05.839
behind his obsession with sandals
