yeah scrapyard Wars scrapyard Wars 2 the
scrapping I started off the Morning by
picking up this case and a fan
and a power bar I'll explain why the
power bar in a little bit but first
things first I need to do a case
swap I didn't realize the bottom hard drive cage was riveted in that will have
to be removed but it's fine for now I
bought this core 3000 but it's dusty and
gross as hell um none of the pictures he had on
Craigslist showed how dusty it was but it's still a nicer overall case
than the one that I had and I didn't have any time left to buy anything else
so I was like whatever might as well just spend my money on it honestly if I had more time I might not have even
accepted it I probably would have accepted it I just would have hopefully
had more time to clean
it wonder what fractal Josh will say when he sees that I mutilated his case
within like minutes of having it I'm going to say I thought you had style man
stop making lonus look good what am I going to see next for me socks and
sandals just remember buddy karma's a
um I'm trying to get the pump and the
radiator higher so I can clear the power
supply just fill up your computer you just be like all
right except you won't have to fill it up cuz the computer's going to short
when you try to turn it on so don't worry about it you know I don't even
care anymore as long as the loop Works screw the computer what's going to end
up happening here is I'm going to end up gluing a
whole bunch of these cables unintentionally but it's going to
happen a whole bunch of those cables are going to be glued
together then I just have to try to use whatever is available to me to try to
make it stop leaking I have a tiny bit more epoxy not much though and I have
one full pack of sugaroo and one and a
quar possibly a bit stuff of more sugaroo the chances of this right here
not leaking are like 1% I 100 I
99% believe that it's going to leak I mean can you imagine if I have to
present a leaky system to the judges so we need a bigger piece of copper from
the Metal Mart to uh put over top of our
CPU here now was that a WTF look or what I
just realized I'm holding an invoice for one of their competitors that un
unfortunately I just realized it it well well for what it's worth the thing we
have isn't going to work I don't no not the stuff you made for us
the other day yeah I need basically that y but 3 and 58 by 3 and
58 okay so we're we're hooped then let's
go to metal market then where is this oh
Street or it's way above it's oh look
like pass the Colossus oh that's all
right can nothing go right
today now there's a freaking train absolutely brilliant so we're just
going to sit here and wait for a train to go through completely the center of
Langley city everywhere we shop people
keep telling me they hope I have a great
day not having a great day this put me
by every possible way of accounting for it over
budget we couldn't find the mounting hardware we
need so we're just going to cheat whoa whoa
whoa wait a minute lonus is cheating wait a minute why am I acting
surprised introducing lcr's all new
patented power panel equipped with a 6ot cable so you can
plug yourself in super far away yeah
your stuff that isn't going to work at all cuz it's going to be covered in
water and metal it's going to short itself out and
then short itself out again want to go leak test it
almost almost this works
and whatever leaked didn't actually leak much I don't even know what it is cuz
the cloth like didn't even get wet really we watched long enough I'm bound
to do something clever
eventually copper
sugar new plan we're going to find a much bigger
object to coil around maybe one of these five Gall buckets and we are going to
make an external coil that we put on the
side panel here
um we have no choice I don't know if it'll fit I don't
know if it'll fit in there what if we went right on top and we kind of like
spread it out a little bit actually that could kind of work all
right so John is sleeping so we're going to try and get our copper tubing in
inside our case somehow let's drill a
hole I'm sure someone's going to point this out I know this is a wood hole saw
I know this is steel I know that's a
problem just so we're all on the same
page going make it through this puppy okay let's go see if John's home
or awake I'm going to send this video to John when we're done and he's just going
to be like what the hell he's going to
be he's going to be amazed that we got as far as we did without his
help okay so we finished cutting out the
little cutaway that we need for the Caps that are next to the socket but what we
haven't done is actually finish the surface of the CPU block where it's
going to make contact with the CPU so for that we actually need to change the
bit so this is what we're using yeah this little guy here is it's more for
Milling that means that there's a cutting blade here and a cutting blade
over here and that goes in takes the place of this little bit here so it goes
in like this and then I Center everything and I just set it up so it
the ne next time it goes past and here it's going to be taken about a th off so
it just clean this up it'll make it look like it you got it in the store now the
college educated among you will have probably noticed that there are some
definite marks on the bottom of the block that's actually not as important
as having a flat surface because our thermal compound is going to fill these
little micro scratches in the surface here we smooth those out too oh we can
do that too yeah yeah yeah good old fashion sandpaper oh I gu none of the
judges will ever see and
appreciate the block manufacturing that went on all they're going to see is this
copper plate with a couple old nubbins sticking out of it they're not going to
they're not going to know what's going on under the hood here so I want the
audience to at least appreciate app the uh magnificence of our water
block here now we could have done better
if we' done certain things and I'm aware of the things that we could have done
better like for example having a rubber gasket sealing this or not using mixed
Metals but hey for a homemade
block that we know nothing about its performance
yet pretty darn good someone might be wondering how you drain this Loop the
answer is you don't ever do that
it's impossible as far as I can tell
considering everything is epoxied together it would literally be
impossible to trans Loop unless you inverted the computer and then poured it
out of there but if you're going to do that this stuff at the bottom isn't
fixed and everything's probably going to break I'm just I'm stuck here for a
while I have to hold each side of this tightly so that water doesn't come
through so the epoxy can hopefully dry how long does it take usable strength in
8 hours
we're kind of uh we're kind of stuck for about 30 minutes here so all that's left
is to solder our tubing onto the CPU
block fuse the CPU block with some kind
of a sealant probably just silicone because we're not at the point where we
can do anything fancy anymore do up our Reservoir and build the
computer that's where we're at it is now
the end of the fourth day of scrapyard
Wars 2 the judges are going to have to be extremely generous for me to get
anything resembling a competitive score in this
competition I'm going to give it one more code of epoxy but I think we're
done I think that's it yeah one more Cod
of epoxy but I'm basically calling it right now I'm just going to do one more
coat but I'm I'm finished I'll bring it out to the garage
after this and just let it's it all right so as you can see it's
getting dark taran's gone home for the night but John out of the graciousness
of his heart is still helping me because we still have to attach the pump to the
reservoir and I think we've got a plan
wasn't my plan I think we've got a plan
that's going to work if she fits she sits just like that
nice and tight now we wanted a clear silicone for this
but Home Depot is a little closed at the moment so uh we went with a white one
it's not as pretty but it should seal up just nicely we'll know in half an hour
we're going to use our sealant and four screws here to close up
the block y that I actually had almost no hand whatsoever in actually making
mm silicone seal yep here we
go so it's finally poor time I have very
little confidence in this seal at the uh
for the power cord for the pump but at
the very least we can find out how everything else is doing no obvious leak
at the pump Outlet that's the most essential because worst case scenario
our judges aren't that water cooling savvy so we could just um
we could just try to get away with one here and just have our water level down
here okay so that is clearly
dissolving either because in half an hour it's not cured enough or because it
just plain wasn't going to work for this so I had 100%
silicone in my bathroom drawer
our pump doesn't have enough head pressure to start our Loop we might be
able to tip it to make it a little bit easier on our pump the good news is our
CPU block isn't leaking yet so that's
the good news there isn't much good news right now that was all the good news I
had W hey look at that okay so basically what we're doing
right now is cleansing the system of all
the junk and debris and and dissolved
crap that's in there now then what I'm going to do is take the CPU block and
the reservoir parts that are bad
apart redo them with silicone let it set overnight and hope
that by 24 hours they mean 12 hours for
Better or For Worse this computer is liquid
cooled well you know what hold on hold on let's go ahead and ask who you guys
think is going to win I think Luke will win scrapyard Wars 2 the scrap ining
he's taller I think Luke will win if he doesn't we all lose I think luk is going
to win scrapyard Wars sorry lonus love you both and myself rooster who do I
think is going to win I think Luke is going to win because just uh I think
lonus will win because he knows how to climb trees which you know is really
important for building computers after all welcome to Scrapyard Wars 2 the
finale we're doing the format a little bit differently this time because it's
not as simple as oh well let's Benchmark it and find out who wins so we actually
have a panel of four judges including Taran Brandon and the two Knicks so one
person for each of us who toiled with us through the entire Endeavor and two
people who have never seen the system first section is creativity worth 10
points next up is Effectiveness worth another 10 points then Aesthetics 10
more points Acoustics 10 more points and finally overall just general category 10
points to a total of 50 now the overall is very much up to the Judgment of well
the judges so if we did things like went over time went over budget or utilized
lifelines so if we got outside help with our project that we didn't directly pay
for then they're going to have to factor that in to our scores I would like to
point out that it was actually just for lifelines and going over time and going
over budget we actually like completely breaking everything but it's okay we'll
move forward I guess so you guys can actually come
around here we're facing the system here first of all I would like to welcome all
the judges here today to the unveiling of the ghetto FR 3000 you're honored to
have me here this first thing that I would like to point out okay first thing
that I would like to point out is the patent pending easy fill technology
have so as you will see in a moment this goes into the computer is actually the
reservoir so you can fill the computer directly or drain the computer directly
just through the top very easy to do another thing in our patent pending easy
technology is the uh we're inspired by
Tesla technology so what we did was we introduced the power panel not the power
wall but the power panel so on the back of the computer here if you guys kind of
rotate around a little bit you can see that there's a mounted powerb bar and
actually only one power cable actually leaves the computer so you can plug plug
your monitor into there you can plug your speakers into there all of your
power can plug directly into the computer with our patented patent
pending easy uh Power panel so once you
open the side of the case you actually get to the the the
challenging parts of this build so you can see we spared no cost I don't know
if I'm going to mention brand names but yes it is a high quality high quality
water bottle eco-friendly actually yes here this is this is uh the Luke
Industries Luke Industries yes more like re War oh as you can see here The
Benchmark is currently running and we're at a not too bad 55° let's go ahead and
see what the judges think I actually discovered something quite interesting
if you want to hop on over here I just saw this little thing leaking a little
bit of water into the power supply I don't know how reliable it is
now is this a functional build M uh it
it it's not we saw that water leaking straight into the into the power supply
which is not good it have to be fixed up honestly how bad do we know that leak is
okay so aside from our bias judge we think that uh the build may be
functional if he fixes the link but at this point we're not entirely
sure ladies and gentlemen gentlemen gentlemen gentlemen you've seen the
zero now you're going to see the hero
welcome to the unveiling of the winner of scrapyard
Wars 2 my system is
horrible oh
damn girl that looks
good this is the Uber
cooler Magic Machine
5000 it features what I call and this is my uh
personal trademark the
uh what do I call it I don't remember what I call it uh this is a copper coil
cooling system or CCS for short so let's
start by firing up the system just to demonstrate that it does in fact work
you can see here at the front of my case all bays are populated by either a
drive or a bay cover I also have an e
SATA port for outstanding connectivity
very modern two USB 2.0 ports my air
intakes are here this door folds out
more than a typical door you can see it's on two hinges so that if you
accidentally bump it it doesn't break off as
easily quiet H I think that's a 10 out of 10
for Acoustics not that I can uh tell the judges too much about how to judge the
system but that's a 10 out of 10 now you can clearly see the copper coil is is
very stable okay this is the moment everyone brace brace yourselves this is
a thing of beauty in here okay hold on there we go you see
that security it doesn't lock but it's so hard to remove you'd think it was
locked so this my friends is the heart and
soul of this machine now there is some water down here that is old water that
is old water from this last night when this was still leaking now I have to
confess I did go a little bit over time probably about 18 to 20 hours over time
wo wo wo now we've gone with the what I
call a camel top system where the cooling hump is located on top of the
system instead of using fittings
soldered or brazed to the ends of our copper we have actually just zip tied
tubing directly onto our copper pipe is
that reliable actually it seems to be working okay surprisingly another
Innovative cost-saving measure and I'm saving this one is the fact that the CPU
block is using saw off pieces of this
tubing soldered to The Copper Top of our
fully custom CNC cut water block as
fittings so we brought our budget by
returning about $40 worth of fittings that we had already purchased by
returning it we brought our total spent on the water
cooling down to
$198 just shy of the 200 Mark for our
system we paid 280 and I bought some uh
Ninjago ninjas that I was planning to put in it but they weren't they weren't
very posable and I forgot if you want to come over here judges and have a look at
where we're sitting we've been under load for about 7 minutes while I've been
talking and we're sitting at around 87°
on the CPU which gets us fully turboed up on our core i7 930 which is a very
high heat output CPU by the way full
performance not the lowest temperatures but incredibly
quiet with the CPU actually being passively cooled by the copper Loop but
wait there's more if you had a little bit more money to spend than we did you
could get yourself a room fan oscillating room fan right there cools
the coil cools you cool cools the coil cools you hot summer day computer's good
you're good everyone's good and that is my presentation thank you judges I think
it's about time the judges pick a winner and pick a sore loser for Luke
system 100 38 points the possible total
scoring for lus system out of
200
10031 I can't believe you got that close to me actually ridiculous I guess mine
did me yeah a Lifeline almost a whole
day of extra time yours will literally thanks for watching scrapyard Wars 2 uh
we will definitely be back with more scrapyard Wars scraping like and SC like
and like And subscribe scrap button and
we could have a special celebrity guest on the next episode of scrapyard very a
very hard nippled celebrity guest see you next time bye
