scrap yard wars is brought to you by the new dbrand grip learn more at the link
below we got the guy ken's going to bring us
the the hard drive he owes us yeah in like 15 minutes yep um so we have two
hard drives we have like five buyers lined up for the hard drives
which is funny uh there's a guy right now that might buy both of the hard
drives for 25 bucks each and the other guy is i only mentioned 15 a piece so
that's potentially like 20 more dollars right there so that's 50 bucks right
there if you buy books because i think 25 for a 2 terabyte 1700 RPM is
obviously very fair i mean he should go to freaky and get them for five dollars
cheaper each but he doesn't know that so that's fair yeah yeah
a minimum we're gonna have 742 possibly seven seven
fifty two two yeah there he is
this is jason okay i'll we'll go and come down thanks
so they start off slow because we have our gpus
but then we needed the rest of the hardware so it was basically spent on
researching our options in the morning it might not have really looked like we
were doing anything but it was really stressful there was one deal in
particular a really good quad core bundle for 150 bucks that agreed
16 hours prior but then didn't hear from
me for 16 hours so i followed up immediately and then
it was just like playing the waiting game
finally after waiting around all morning for that core i5 bundle and exhausting
all of our options to try to upgrade it to a core i7 we had a total breakthrough
hold on a minute look at this thing
960 which is exactly what you've been looking for cx750 holy crap this is what
we need it even includes the SSD
and it's five four it's four hundred dollars oh my god this was posted 25
days ago it's probably sold oh let's go no there's a phone number okay
most boards in that generation especially the
ones that had all six yeah okay slots
popular that had all six slots did support sli okay but i don't know
which one this is it doesn't look like there's enough
spacing underneath that GPU hello uh hi i'm calling about your
gaming computer on craigslist oh yeah hi hi uh is that still for sale
yes it is um are you are you able to knock off a
little bit if we don't need the graphics card um
how much are you thinking of like 50 bucks
um sure you know what if you are you available to pick it up today
yeah definitely can we meet around 4 30 is that okay for you um that could work
can you do any earlier i could do like
four four o'clock uh okay uh can i ask one more question
yeah your uh your motherboard uh is it sli
compatible is it what comparable sia
sli sli yes it is
okay uh so 350 meet at four o'clock okay
and what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna just throw in graphics card because i'm not
gonna be using it anyway so maybe you can try to
resell it or or something sure uh do you mind texting me your
address that way i can i can be there ready to go because i gotta take transit
i don't have a car okay that was good four o'clock four
four o'clock okay and if you're a little late that's cool uh please text us text
us the address now though so we can we can make sure we're there
thank you
how did we just flip from we have nothing
to have this and he's gonna throw on the GPU for us
which we can use maybe why we should start trying to flip it yeah let's let's
flip it now which is what gtx 5 gtx 580 like it's actually worth something and
evga i think all right is it i don't know yeah yeah it must be okay can we do
a screenshot okay we we can just find the stock footage of
the card oh my god i think it includes a monitor
no he what yeah what if we
don't get the monitor and lower the price even more when you eat him i don't
want no i don't want a lowball i think we should try and sell the monitor
we're like really cheap yeah like 20 bucks
yeah yeah let's get our craigslist game on
i mean i gotta pee i'm excited you're really getting responses for the 980 ti
so
went from nothing to some
um like it would have been cool if we could get two nights into tis wait
what's that brandon
i think they have two nights yes
that might be a problem
we spent a lot of time this morning just doing research trying to find parts so i
was legitimately concerned about the morning felt like we were getting nothing done
800 that's 537.
you end up getting two fairly cheap power supplies
and an SSD for like a hundred and fifty
hundred and eighty dollars you'd slaughter everything with the nazis and
then probably win that's scary
i mean we don't even know that they have it we could i mean they could be trying
to get that
because in a gaming test right it's all about GPU yeah
like if we can't sell this stuff we didn't actually get that computer for
a very good price yeah so we need to try to sell this stuff
then we need to try to bargain other people because right now i think we're behind
we keep looking only because it's beating 1080 a 90 day ti sli marginally
i can't find any i have found one 1080
ti that's for sale in all of bc so far
i'm down to keep looking like 100 but
um okay so let's throw it on the spreadsheet though
so what what we pay 350 that includes
cooler motherboard RAM
power supply case SSD
okay what CPU is this this is the 960.
the one that we originally was that's the one we wanted
okay so we have 150 bucks to play with and we
could walk there we need the spreadsheet for all the crap
we have to sell gtx 580 1080p monitor which is monitor
let's i can get begin on the um we have a wireless end card okay here's a crazy
thought go back to
xeon six core guy
right offered us just the CPU and we can try and just buy a six core CPU
for 150 bucks
for what um for our motherboard for our
motherboard as long as it supports it you know what we're going to have to try
and do we got to try and identify that board let's we got we got to do some csi
here man enhance you know
so the SATA ports so did we just knock the price down 50 but he's still gonna
include the graphics card for us yes
that is exactly what just went down okay so there's two PCIe 1x slots right at
the top okay and there's a heat sink right there
because the SATA ports are right next to each
other okay right right right okay so it's not that
it could be no it wouldn't be durable no it's not
this because it doesn't have orange right yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it's ain't no orange
so it could be this one or it could be this one let's see if we can figure out
the southbridge heatsink i don't think it has the big plate yeah
so it's so it could be this one here let's have a look let's look at
this one big and let's see if that looks likely
okay that spacing looks right see it has
that little piece i think that's yeah i think it's a fan header yeah
vent header and then two of these phases one two three four five six
does it have the ultra durable on the motherboard can we see it i don't know
if we can see it cause a little cooler how about we can we brighten it up in
photoshop like you know expose the
image so we can see more detail maybe but you know what i think i think we
know what it is now i think it's this one i think it's this one because see
this heatsink here
that looks right what about these connectors here let's have a look
uh which one did i think it was i thought it was this one yeah
yeah i think that's this so i think it's uh ud-3r
oh does that support sli i don't know if it does
uh do you guys buy components i've got some usb 3 expansion cards i've got a
NVIDIA gtx 660 and then ASUS uh optical
drive on me i probably wouldn't buy those things by
themselves like if you're there like with a computer or something i might buy the whole lot but
just lose okay okay thanks
that m.2 SSD sorry jay they're all gone but i wish
you could fortunately grab their voice to come
and i sent that from an email
what have you seen and try
so what happened was when i was sending emails from my phone i have my burner email
but the signature
from my main email was being applied to all of those
accounts and i didn't realize it his burner email had like jay's two cents
and then a link to his youtube channel and stuff on the bottom a little bit
annoying so this guy responded back
when i asked hey i'm interested in attending have cash could meet in vancouver in the sky train would you
consider 625 cash what is your availability
um he responded back and was like i can't believe a person i watch on youtube
almost every day contacted me i can let you have it for 6 40 and i can meet any
day between 3 p.m and 9 p.m at any canada line station in richmond or
vancouver so he didn't give it to me for the price i was asking for but can we
still buy it if we give the offer if the original price requested on the ad if we
don't find another one the original price requested on the ad was 650. so he
only dropped it 10 bucks he did not he didn't give me the price i was offering
that was i was requesting what were you asking for 600. he's asking 650. i said
can you give me 20 for 625. he's like oh my god it's jay but no i can do 640.
so there's no leverage in who i am there but he did acknowledge i am who i am so
my question is now if this has become our only option like this is the only
reply we've got we could call ed but i think the listed craigslist price is
still fair that's what i was going to do i think cause that's no haggle
hold on uh oh oh i'm i'm gonna be so upset right now
he said it supports sli he said it did but he's a guy on craigslist
that's a lie okay
okay in terms of spacing you know what we could do
is we could run it here and here if we wanted to use our high bandwidth bridge
or if he's got the sli he's got the box for this yeah we could just run it here
and here which would have been how it's intended
to be run so we've got to decide do we want a higher bandwidth sli connection
or do we want a higher bandwidth PCIe PCIe
we can try both yeah we're going to have time we're going to have an extra monitor
you know what's up what's up now
okay i have one quick housekeeping item to deal with first uh remember the
reason we were looking up that board was we wanted to know if it supported ecc
RAM why are we going with the ecc RAM um
because i don't think that guy's gonna part out his six core if we don't at
least also take so if we go with a zeon yeah instead of the 960
would it make a difference yeah because the 960 is a quad core
uh but maybe it's clock tire
um you might be right i don't think so though like it's a this is like this is
a ball and xeon it's um let's see if i
can find it here it's a w3670 i think it's like
basically top of the line
so we're thinking we found the best price for an SSD that
we can find is actually on amazon and we can just get free one day
shipping anyways i love watching his face because as
we're saying this he's like running through his head what he knows the other team is doing is like
how quickly he just like but we're trying to figure out where it
gets delivered to because it's a delivery till as late as nine o'clock
so i mean that's the kind of package that would get left outside but
and i would feel that the walk i hope it's still here tomorrow
we would have to make sure we get here before Linus
because i could see him screw it it would be in a package i don't care he
wouldn't steal it i wouldn't steal it i could see him hiding it just to screw
with us so i told this here's what i told the other guy
i said damn i didn't realize my signature showed up that means i cannot
accept your price of 640 or continue the deal right now the best i can do is hope
that i don't find another 1080 for cheaper and offer you the original price
of 650 which is allowed via the rules yeah
good as secretly written emails and totally cheated in a way of like dude
yeah just sell to me for like 500. but then i'll just give you the card back
at the end of the day i'd do it too whatever it takes to be
honest 762 everything's accounted for
hello here do you want to close the door um luke oh no thank you
yeah thank you there we go
that's it i just don't know my buddy's password it's hooked up to the monitor
right here it's going into this computer and that's where we're taking the drives
from what do you think that guy luke just brought in here is
well maybe a decoy
i it'd be a very expensive decoy yeah even if you're paying your decoy like 10
bucks an hour that's still we'll see how long it takes for that guy
to come down because if he's there for a couple hours it's kind of it doesn't
make any sense yeah if he's there to like maybe troubleshoot something yeah
like if he's there just to like demonstrate that something works that's
probably it he didn't have anything to carry with him i saw him
i mean we're supposed to oh you was supposed to work i don't know
i mean he didn't have shoes on no socks either
okay careful i'm just like bored
like we have three hours no we have two hours until we leave to pick up our men and
walk there yeah what do we want to do in that hour of walking there
i don't know there's nothing left to do this is the most done
that i've been at like lunchtime on the second day
and i can't even sit and eat lunch
they're just letting you guys know we're rolling but i'm not facing any cameras
i think i know so that's interesting okay
he was he came in empty he left with a boss and and we didn't
even need to know that he left with the box but we could hear him say
i'll let you know if there's any issues with anything they're selling hardware
they're selling
um
ah
are you on craigslist right now are you trying to find their ads i went to craigslist and typed in
computer parts for anything that was posted today
to see if they maybe if we can recognize like
their hand in the photo or something i doubt they'd be that stupid oh they're
pretty stupid um okay maybe they'd be that stupid
this is posted at this exact address
interesting okay but honestly i think this tells us a lot
about what they've got because if i were them so what we know
is that they got rid of a drive and they're trying to get rid of a video
card okay so the video card
is a gtx 660. so what that tells us
is that whatever base system they have
is from around that era probably
right because who would put a 660 in like a 7700k system he wouldn't do that
so
unless this is something they're trying to do
to mess with our heads this is them too
but like i'm pretty so so they just got 15 bucks
selling hardware do you think this was it they just saw i
bet this is it look either that or they still have more
okay dear lord what
can we reply and see their number that's him that's luke
it's his phone number that's his freak
why would he put his phone number with an idiot
okay okay so this is good if they don't
know that we're on to them
then we can mess with them okay okay so technically max
is with us but you know it's just such a gorgeous day for vlogging it's so
beautiful right yeah we haven't done any vlogging on day two yet
so uh basically we gotta hike um what
two miles that way and luckily we're on the same
path all the way until we have to turn right and so that's beautiful
can't get lost we got the beautiful leaves we got the
beautiful yeah look at this look at this the leaves are changing color
that's a gorgeous day a gorgeous day to mess with somebody um
zeus is a actually a very popular brand
which bus stop do you want to meet at we are off granville
i also have to take the bus so we need to work out a location that's a terrible
terrible impression of luke but this is great
he he he said they also have to take the bus why does does he think that no
because he's i think he's does he know he's in case it's us
i think he's playing the game it's a double play it's all in the it's
all the brain games today okay so i'm gonna get back to him right
away like now that now that we're engaged and we're replying i'm not gonna
worry too much about seeming too eager um
but you know what we should do let's find
us a phone so we can do the the prank call
about their card so can i ask you a stupid question
um my dumb friend posted something on craigslist and i want to mess with him
but he'll recognize my number if i give you my phone to hold can i borrow yours
to call him it'll take like two minutes
oh sorry it's worth a shot also she wanted to
stop and pet your dog anyway so that that's where we're at with that
yeah she would have let us use her phone if she had it can you do like a higher pitched
if i do a hybrid okay uh what um if i do a higher pitch
then i might kind of sound like uh like a kid or maybe it just doesn't sound
very good at all no you can still tell it's you yeah okay you can still tell me
oh so to be treated oh where do you want to set the trap
for luke let's set it up somewhere
along the way actually me holding my throat doesn't really do anything
no it doesn't have to hold your nose and talk high like this
okay let's suck together with this
okay cool this this guy's awesome he loves bars
do you think you can come downtown uh yeah that would be no
problem we could totally come downtown okay great um
i can beat you right now it's
it's 50 dollars right uh
150. what yeah yeah sorry we've got a lot of
demand so the price just keeps going up you don't buy this at all do you if you
were actually trying to get me to buy that that was a very poor attempt i thought you were just trying to make a
joke
shoot all right well um bye bye
150 a lot of demands
the plan though was for him to believe the emails and not to buy the phone call
yes so email is the real thing everything is
going according to the plan
he totally buys this perfect we're on 15th street only one block over it's
definitely them yeah what time would you be there
so i'm just gonna say i gotta grab a bite to eat and i'll
i'll text you when i'm on my way this is
the bus stop he wants to meet at
oh we are here
he's sick we're in there when he gets off work i just ask him
when that is originally he's was thinking like four so
his plans bailed it might be soon you want to pitch them some pci
usb 3 and then two two some toonies i'll give you these should be around 5 45
might be a little bit later depends on the foods
ready what we're
eating home oh my god he's going home to eat
at least the guy with the 1080 is on time
five there we go that's five fifty one more
hundred
you got a 50 right here that's that's good right
no he's at 550 it's
one two three four five
three hundred one two three four five four hundred one two three four five
five hundred and so
it's 6 600 20 40 60 we need to break it 20.
10 i have let me see
okay brandon can can break that all right so we owe brandon 10 right you
have two tens
okay and then we just give them a 20 in there hold on to that
cool yeah that's yours let me change with that okay count it again sorry
check all that tasty perfect okay great all right so
all right thanks thanks thank you thanks i hope it wins
thank you okay you want this in your bag will it fit yeah i don't know if it'll
fit but we could do that out of the box if we do too
we got one hour to spare
hey dimitri did you bring the macbook
no
did we completely forget to bring a computer
okay so no entertainment we just got each other
oh good forgot each other and your incessant
demands for water uh there was no water again so thank you
Linus for that oh hey you said you were thirsty right yeah look i've got this
dry ass bread you made us buy you want some
i think i will keep it from now on so when you're hungry tomorrow
hey dwight you can have some bread have some bread dimitri no i ate it with
my gallon of water i'm gonna soak this in the water
and eat it in front of you we we got this idea of getting free
water from the subway by asking politely
uh that guy had water i think he's coming from the subway and
it's free i'm going to try and get me some water
from subway i think it's free like if you buy
something
i can ask i can still ask i don't got no cash to
pay okay can i have something too
wow dick wow what a day
hello great how are you is it possible to get
a just a glass of water
hey Linus no
not only did you succeed you actually
didn't get me one
i think it's one per person
wow i never thought i'd say this
but i wish i had jay on my team instead
of you oh i wish i'd gotten jay
you know we can share this okay
thank you do you wish you had jay now
i got sparkling water sparkling water cause we fancy man
we fancy people this is where we get the bulk of our
stuff or like our dreams are dashed yeah
okay so here's how it went down
the system is not actually booting right now
something about a dmi loading dmi
something but we got into the BIOS
we could see that the hardware was working we could see the RAM we could
see the CPU although the CPU is running at 89 degrees right now yeah so we got
to do something about the thermal compound application on there it might
maybe have to find a different cooler for our budget we still have a little
bit of money we especially have a little bit of money because he actually knocked 20 off
because the power adapter for our monitor
which will have to sell wait do you have the adapter
okay doesn't have a cable for it so we
actually only paid 330
for our setup here but
quick googling suggests that the error we're getting when we try
to boot could be to do with a bad drive
he says he knows the drive is good because he loaded Windows 10 on it on
another machine but it could be an incompatibility i i
don't know so
right now i'm pretty nervous but i'm also pretty hopeful the good
news is we saved 20 bucks because he didn't have a power cable we didn't need
which means that we could transit back now let's transit back
unless we need a new SSD
then we could save that 20 to buy an SSD we could buy an SSD for 60
bucks which we have in the budget did we ever get a call back he's willing to pay
for it's 120 Gigabyte for 60 bucks if
this doesn't work so you want to bus back the thing is
it's five o'clock is it really yeah so we have to buzz back
otherwise we'll hear it from the other team again
you know okay all right yeah let's push back okay
17 right there no no that one
shoot i think we're going to just hold 17. 17 as well okay okay okay we got
that i can't find our transfers though oh no
wait there is no 15 here it was the 17.
you talking about willis
oh dang it
we just missed it again
meanwhile the other team waits for their mystery 660 buyer to show up little do
they know they're getting totally played
wait what oh he's not buying the card
he's just a fan but we wasted some time trying to go
meet a dude he ended up not showing up and that kind of burned our
hour that we didn't really end up using um that was extra time from Linus being
late the other day so we didn't really end up actually utilizing that time and
we didn't get to sell the card which sucked i
have suspicions that that was Linus
i mean it's being a but like it's not against the rules
it's probably not them i'm just freaking out because he's late
this is the first time that like during the
competition hi
nice to meet you thank you hello card yes you bet great
and if there's any issues i live right down the street um so we're practically
neighbors just text me and you can have your money back oh you're busy yes it's
been a full day of craig's listing take care
so in total we have dual gtx 980 tis from evga really good cards we have a
Gigabyte x58 motherboard a core i7 960
six gigabytes of ddr3 RAM and a 240
Gigabyte samsung 840 or 256
and a 750 watt power supply that will power all of our needs we are trying to
sell the six gigabytes of RAM and we're trying to sell the monitor that came
with the pc and then hopefully once we get the xeon
processor we can also flip that uh until 960 quickly for like 20 bucks
so we can have at least some water money
we're probably going 18 times too deep on this
they were so mad like i'm legitimately glad we didn't pop out
of the bushes and they're gonna have two months to cool down and jay will be in a
different country when they find out that that was us i
forgot my wallet
um i can't make it
this is really embarrassing or something like that something kind of genuine sounding
crap i'm sorry i forgot my wallet i can't make it this is so embarrassing
i'm pissed oh my god
no no no they have no idea why three
minutes ago that's fine want to meet up tomorrow can you give me a call to iron it out
we now have 211.87
total weight yeah in total okay so if i put in
uh six core plus RAM
okay that leaves us with 5417. so we have six gigs of ddr3 no but if we
sell the monitor and a monitor yeah what else do we have anything else
and we have a 960 CPU
right so we go get the CPU and RAM
regardless so we have the whole day tomorrow to get the xeons and then
figure out how to make the motherboard work if it doesn't we buy that
ASUS board yeah and but we have to sell
the monitor okay and the uh and the extra RAM
for 45 total
at this point i would be very not surprised if it was Linus
you know we got 55 minutes of that hour left
so we know it works this one looks like our magazine
those guys were so
mad coming back from waiting at the bus stop
and just really hope that we wake up with someone wanting to buy the 660
that's not for us so right now we have a core i7 960. six
gigs of RAM a Gigabyte sli compatible motherboard a tx 750 750 watt power
supply a Corsair 600 case and we have two gtx 980 ti's we have a
smoking system so the plan for tomorrow is to trek all
the way out to coquitlam an hour and a half each way plus it'll probably cost
us about 16 in transit
to get a six core processor and double the amount of memory
um it's still 6 15. we still have some craigslist time and i heard back from
the guy with the ASUS p6t
he'll do it for a hundred dollars in case our motherboard's dead in case
our motherboard is dead do we have enough money still for the xeon stuff
let's find out i actually don't know oh crap no we have 171 dollars left so
so if our board is dead we can't go get the six core yeah that means we have to
troubleshoot this board in like
a few minutes tomorrow morning and determine more if we're buying a new
board or the xeon or for buying the six
core personally when i look at the hardware that we have it doesn't seem super
aggressive um we ended up spending a lot of time
focusing on trying to sell things and not aggressively bartering with people
which i think is going to hurt us this is a regular phone this is a gripped
phone this is for comedic effect
so get a grip coming soon available at the link in the video description love
our videos and want to see them sooner join Floatplane at the link in the video
description it's got the next episode of scrapyard wars
