Oh, they're trying to film","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":283.2,"end_s":287.04,"text":"things better than just pointing the camera at me in the car. How innovative. That seems","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":287.76,"end_s":294.64,"text":"unnecessary. Whoa, this could be. Oh, is this that same freaking guy? Well, he has a case. He has a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":294.64,"end_s":299.12,"text":"CX500 power supply too.

Hi, you have a craigslist listing for computer cases with power supplies and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":324.0,"end_s":330.0,"text":"$10 or something.

That might actually be very helpful. What's your name? My name's Linus.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":363.6,"end_s":372.56,"text":"Well, if you want to build a gaming tower, so then you need a fast motherboard,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":372.88,"end_s":378.88,"text":"you need fast processor, but you realize that one is cheap, right? Okay.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":383.04,"end_s":388.24,"text":"What I'm trying to accomplish is today, I want to find my platform. So everything I'll need.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":388.24,"end_s":392.32,"text":"And then tomorrow, essentially, I want to spend the entire time finding the best possible price","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":392.32,"end_s":401.04,"text":"that I can on a GPU. That's like my whole plan tomorrow. Pick up. I just found another computer.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":401.12,"end_s":405.44,"text":"Same price, but it's actually $5 cheaper. It has a 450 watt power supply. That's probably fine.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":406.24,"end_s":410.08,"text":"Four gigs of RAM. So that's a slight improvement there. Four gigs of RAM. That's probably good enough.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":410.08,"end_s":414.64,"text":"And then an E8400 again. I'm kind of surprised he hasn't just tried to like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":415.6,"end_s":420.24,"text":"leave and go into some little computer shop and get them to give him a deal because of who he is.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":420.96,"end_s":423.76,"text":"That was my full expectation the whole time. And then he put up","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":424.4,"end_s":431.2,"text":"the rule that we can't use our influence. I was like, wow, because that's exactly what I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":431.2,"end_s":437.28,"text":"especially wanted to do. So now I'm not sure how he's going to cheat. I just know that he's going to.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":439.52,"end_s":446.56,"text":"I never cheat. I never cheat at all. You know what we should do is we should look really excited","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":446.56,"end_s":453.04,"text":"when we pull out and we should look like we're heading somewhere. Okay. We'll give them a little","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":453.76,"end_s":467.04,"text":"farewell beep beep. I don't even know how to use Craigslist. First stop is going to be the Salvation","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":467.04,"end_s":477.2,"text":"Army Thrift Store. This isn't a computer. I'm scared. That was bad. That was really bad. I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":477.2,"end_s":483.36,"text":"hope Linus's time is not not going better. I just throw the car under a semi. We'll be okay.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":483.36,"end_s":489.76,"text":"We can avoid judgment at the end of the contest when we have no computer because there's no","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":489.76,"end_s":495.92,"text":"computers at thrift shops and Linus magically found something on Craigslist. I'm hoping that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":495.92,"end_s":502.56,"text":"they don't have like computer savvy employees. So they might undervalue a certain tower compared","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":502.56,"end_s":506.4,"text":"to another one. Like they might price two of them at the same price and one of them is actually","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":506.4,"end_s":517.84,"text":"clearly better. Fingers crossed. Oh no. Is this literally a clothing store now?","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":525.04,"end_s":532.32,"text":"Hi. Hi. I'm actually contacting a few guys that are selling computer parts. May I ask","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":532.32,"end_s":539.68,"text":"which one? You got the phone number off. Gilbert. Yeah, that's right. Hi. I'm just generally looking","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":539.68,"end_s":543.28,"text":"for everything right now. I don't have any of the components locked in and I need to get everything","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":543.28,"end_s":549.04,"text":"by about midday tomorrow. It's a birthday present. What would we be looking at for something like a Q6600","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":549.04,"end_s":557.6,"text":"and a board? Oh, something like that. It's like $80. Dill leaves me needing a case power supply. Do","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":557.6,"end_s":562.32,"text":"you have any like super cheapo stupid stuff? Yeah, case and power supply. Okay. I'm not worried","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":562.32,"end_s":570.72,"text":"about the case looking great. He doesn't see real well. Well, I can throw the power supply case","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":570.72,"end_s":578.08,"text":"into the 200. For the 200? You know what? I will call you back before the end of your shop","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":578.08,"end_s":582.08,"text":"time today. So I'll call you back in the next hour or so and I'll let you know if I'm going to come","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":582.08,"end_s":587.04,"text":"by tomorrow morning and pick this stuff up. Sounds like this might be the deal that helps me out here.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":587.04,"end_s":592.64,"text":"All right. Thank you very much. Take care. Maybe it was worthwhile to listen to that life story","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":592.64,"end_s":597.76,"text":"after all. We might have just gotten everything but a video card with $100 budget for a graphics","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":597.76,"end_s":605.2,"text":"card left over. Okay, that might be like plus tax because this is oh no. Well, let's hope it's not.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":606.0,"end_s":610.08,"text":"I got an email back from the guy that I actually wanted to respond the most. This was the guy with","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":610.08,"end_s":615.76,"text":"the E8400 that had four gigabytes of DDR3 as well and the 500GB hard drive. It's not the greatest price","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":616.32,"end_s":621.44,"text":"but that's an option. He's available right now which is good. So I need to figure out if I can get a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":622.88,"end_s":626.56,"text":"what I can get for a graphics card for 220 bucks. If I can get something","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":627.84,"end_s":634.88,"text":"good enough, which I think I can, I think I'll go with it. Line up speaking. Oh, hi,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":634.88,"end_s":640.64,"text":"um, you know me about the Hacker bumper? Yes, I did. Oh, hi, hi. Nice to meet you,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":641.36,"end_s":645.52,"text":"I'm actually a fan of yours. I was wondering, so what kind of place were you looking for the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":645.52,"end_s":653.52,"text":"Hacker bumper? Okay, I gotta be up front with you. I can't leverage being me as a negotiation","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":653.52,"end_s":658.0,"text":"strategy. So you have to pretend that I'm not who I am. Oh yeah, no, I understand you have to feel","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":658.0,"end_s":665.68,"text":"like that. So I don't need a water-cooled card. I need an air-cooled card which means that since I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":666.64,"end_s":671.44,"text":"I don't have any budget left over for the rest of the system, I pretty much have to get","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":672.4,"end_s":680.32,"text":"an all-in-one liquid cooler for $100 minus whatever I pay for your card.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":681.12,"end_s":687.6,"text":"Right. So that's where I'm at. Okay. I have got no leads on an all-in-one liquid cooler and I have","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":687.6,"end_s":693.52,"text":"to have this done by the end of the day tomorrow. Okay, well um, have you looked on Craigslist for","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":693.52,"end_s":700.64,"text":"like, because there's another guy who's selling the Zalman cooler. Is there now? Pardon? Is there?","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":701.28,"end_s":708.88,"text":"Yes, there is the one guy with the $20 Zalman cooler for the $580. I see that. Because that would","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":708.88,"end_s":717.68,"text":"be just like an extra $20 on top of my card, right? Yeah, can you do $80? Sure, I guess I could, yeah.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":717.76,"end_s":723.6,"text":"Okay, can I pick it up? Uh, can I pick it up today or tomorrow? Um, how about tomorrow?","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":723.6,"end_s":729.04,"text":"Can I come tomorrow morning? Um, sure, tomorrow morning. Yeah, sounds good. Um, where do you want to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":729.04,"end_s":735.2,"text":"meet up? Uh, you're in Richmond, correct? Uh, no, I'm in Burnaby, actually. You're in Burnaby? Well,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":735.2,"end_s":741.36,"text":"yeah, I can meet like, uh, where can you meet actually? I think I'm gonna be in Burnaby anyway.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":741.36,"end_s":746.32,"text":"Like, I'm doing a bit of a, I'm doing a bit of computer hardware pickup stuff tomorrow, so.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":746.32,"end_s":751.28,"text":"Oh, okay. Uh, I will be, I'll be around. So tell you what, why don't you just pick somewhere,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":751.28,"end_s":755.36,"text":"somewhere safe near wherever it is you live, like a Starbucks or whatever,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":755.36,"end_s":759.6,"text":"and then just let me know.

Just wondering.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":770.64,"end_s":775.92,"text":"That would be no problem. All right, thanks. I'll talk to you later then. All right, take care.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":775.92,"end_s":786.96,"text":"Thank you. Bye. Okay, we have secured a GTX 580 for $80. If they can get a slightly faster CPU than","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":786.96,"end_s":794.32,"text":"us, like maybe an 1155 core i5 quad core, something along those lines, even if they have a slightly","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":794.32,"end_s":799.52,"text":"lesser video card, they might still come out ahead. If they get a similar video card, better CPU,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":799.52,"end_s":805.68,"text":"then we're in real trouble. But basically this is going to, I need to make sure our power supply","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":806.56,"end_s":814.08,"text":"has support for GTX 580. That's a pretty power hungry card. I wonder what they're up to.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":815.6,"end_s":821.76,"text":"Hopefully spinning their wheels, finding nothing. All right, so I got the computer,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":821.76,"end_s":826.8,"text":"everything works. He booted it up for me. I got to inspect everything. It's fine. I didn't","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":826.8,"end_s":832.32,"text":"hike them down anymore. So I got it for $80, which I think is fine. We'll have to see what","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":832.32,"end_s":837.6,"text":"line it's got, but that seems like an okay deal for an 8400 computer to me. The inside is really","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":837.6,"end_s":841.36,"text":"nice and clean. So I was happy to see that. Looks like he took good care of it or at least","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":841.36,"end_s":846.16,"text":"took good care of it right before I got there. Not entirely sure which one, but anyways,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":848.08,"end_s":853.36,"text":"kind of baller RAM. I didn't expect this. Okay, maybe not actually baller, but it's gold plated,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":853.36,"end_s":858.4,"text":"well not really gold plated, gold painted OCC memory, which I thought was kind of funny.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":859.2,"end_s":863.52,"text":"There's the E8400.

So this is our first episode. We're looking for a lot of feedback from you guys about what we can do to make these fun and interesting in the future. But for today's challenge, we are keeping it very simple. $300 cash, the very best gaming rig that we can build with a few rules. So number one is no monitor or other peripherals required. We only have to build the tower. No worker research can be pre-done, so you can't like go on websites or Craigslist and try to find things before or in between. Each participant gets a total of eight hours to actually find everything, and then four hours to build it, tune it, and benchmark it. I'm not paying any overtime on this, so we are staying inside those guidelines. No leveraging friends, social media contacts, coworkers, or anything of that sort. Overclocking is allowed. We'll be measuring performance of the machines using 3D Mark Firestrike, 2Rader 2013, and Dirt 3. And along with the no peripherals thing, it's just a tower that you need, no operating system, or anything like that. So let's get to it, shall we? Scrap our doors! Here we go. You have exceeded your daily transaction limit. Please take your receipt. I see. Declined. Okay then. I'm going inside. I have the cashola. There you are. Thank you. All right. Let's go, shall we? Good luck. I should have known he'd never fall for that. I'm fairly sure he's going to waste time going back to the office. I brought a laptop with me, so I will begin immediately. I really hope it's charged. There's a store somewhere in Vancouver. I think it's called Reboot. It's a non-for-profit little store thing that kind of refurbishes computers and sells computers and does kind of cheap repairs and stuff for people that need it. And I think if I can participate in this contest and support a company that tries to, like they do really cheap computer repairs and I know they try to like, I think they do some charity giving computers to people and stuff. If I can help them out, get a cheap computer from them and participate in the contest, then that's doing many things well at once. So I'm going to try and see if I can do that. I'm going to contact them, figure out what their hours are, and go from there. Now we're rocking. Here. Jesus. All right. So should we start on, red flag deals used to be, used to be a haunt for me. I used to find a lot of good stuff there. The Linus Tech Tips, Bicell Trade, that Craig's list. Do you want me to call Anthony? Oh, that. No, we're not allowed to leverage friends. And this is where the like montage music has to come in. Dun, dun, dun, dun. That might be the best we can do. And then this guy also had a hard drive for 20 bucks. Oh, he looks rejected. Does he? Okay, good. Excellent. That means literally nothing. So an Intel Core 2 Duo with 80 Gigabyte hard drive. Oh God. And two gigabytes of RAM. For 50 bucks though. So that leaves me $250 to get a graphics card. Let me give them a call. This is why we don't make TV shows. It seems to be a pretty significant drop in price once you get to Core 2 Duo range. So I'm looking for that because I think that'll be fine for most of the games. It'll fall behind a bit for sure on Tomb Raider. Are they going to come to concede defeat? Where are they going? They're not allowed to take out more money. Oh, they're trying to film things better than just pointing the camera at me in the car. How innovative. That seems unnecessary. Whoa, this could be. Oh, is this that same freaking guy? Well, he has a case. He has a CX500 power supply too. If I hear back from this guy, I don't think Lou's going to think to check Kijiji. Okay, 45. And then this is a combo. And then this is a combo. Oh, computer cases with power supplies and other hardware. Phone calls only, please. All right, here we go. Hi. Hi, you have a craigslist listing for computer cases with power supplies and $10 or something. So do you have anything reasonably new with a 24 pin power supply and compatibility for a micro ATX board, like some kind of standard board, or is it all going to be non-standard like Dell HP stuff? That's an Athlon. Oh, okay. That's a little older than I need. I'm looking for an entry level gaming PC. If you can just tell me what CPUs the systems that you have. I'm very familiar with the hardware. I know what I'm looking for. I just need to know what you have. I can give you a contact with somebody who can tell you the parts you need. Oh, okay. That might actually be very helpful. What's your name? My name's Linus. Well, if you want to build a gaming tower, so then you need a fast motherboard, you need fast processor, but you realize that one is cheap, right? Okay. What I'm trying to accomplish is today, I want to find my platform. So everything I'll need. And then tomorrow, essentially, I want to spend the entire time finding the best possible price that I can on a GPU. That's like my whole plan tomorrow. Pick up. I just found another computer. Same price, but it's actually $5 cheaper. It has a 450 watt power supply. That's probably fine. Four gigs of RAM. So that's a slight improvement there. Four gigs of RAM. That's probably good enough. And then an E8400 again. I'm kind of surprised he hasn't just tried to like leave and go into some little computer shop and get them to give him a deal because of who he is. That was my full expectation the whole time. And then he put up the rule that we can't use our influence. I was like, wow, because that's exactly what I especially wanted to do. So now I'm not sure how he's going to cheat. I just know that he's going to. I never cheat. I never cheat at all. You know what we should do is we should look really excited when we pull out and we should look like we're heading somewhere. Okay. We'll give them a little farewell beep beep. I don't even know how to use Craigslist. First stop is going to be the Salvation Army Thrift Store. This isn't a computer. I'm scared. That was bad. That was really bad. I hope Linus's time is not not going better. I just throw the car under a semi. We'll be okay. We can avoid judgment at the end of the contest when we have no computer because there's no computers at thrift shops and Linus magically found something on Craigslist. I'm hoping that they don't have like computer savvy employees. So they might undervalue a certain tower compared to another one. Like they might price two of them at the same price and one of them is actually clearly better. Fingers crossed. Oh no. Is this literally a clothing store now? Hi. Hi. I'm actually contacting a few guys that are selling computer parts. May I ask which one? You got the phone number off. Gilbert. Yeah, that's right. Hi. I'm just generally looking for everything right now. I don't have any of the components locked in and I need to get everything by about midday tomorrow. It's a birthday present. What would we be looking at for something like a Q6600 and a board? Oh, something like that. It's like $80. Dill leaves me needing a case power supply. Do you have any like super cheapo stupid stuff? Yeah, case and power supply. Okay. I'm not worried about the case looking great. He doesn't see real well. Well, I can throw the power supply case into the 200. For the 200? You know what? I will call you back before the end of your shop time today. So I'll call you back in the next hour or so and I'll let you know if I'm going to come by tomorrow morning and pick this stuff up. Sounds like this might be the deal that helps me out here. All right. Thank you very much. Take care. Maybe it was worthwhile to listen to that life story after all. We might have just gotten everything but a video card with $100 budget for a graphics card left over. Okay, that might be like plus tax because this is oh no. Well, let's hope it's not. I got an email back from the guy that I actually wanted to respond the most. This was the guy with the E8400 that had four gigabytes of DDR3 as well and the 500GB hard drive. It's not the greatest price but that's an option. He's available right now which is good. So I need to figure out if I can get a what I can get for a graphics card for 220 bucks. If I can get something good enough, which I think I can, I think I'll go with it. Line up speaking. Oh, hi, um, you know me about the Hacker bumper? Yes, I did. Oh, hi, hi. Nice to meet you, I'm actually a fan of yours. I was wondering, so what kind of place were you looking for the Hacker bumper? Okay, I gotta be up front with you. I can't leverage being me as a negotiation strategy. So you have to pretend that I'm not who I am. Oh yeah, no, I understand you have to feel like that. So I don't need a water-cooled card. I need an air-cooled card which means that since I I don't have any budget left over for the rest of the system, I pretty much have to get an all-in-one liquid cooler for $100 minus whatever I pay for your card. Right. So that's where I'm at. Okay. I have got no leads on an all-in-one liquid cooler and I have to have this done by the end of the day tomorrow. Okay, well um, have you looked on Craigslist for like, because there's another guy who's selling the Zalman cooler. Is there now? Pardon? Is there? Yes, there is the one guy with the $20 Zalman cooler for the $580. I see that. Because that would be just like an extra $20 on top of my card, right? Yeah, can you do $80? Sure, I guess I could, yeah. Okay, can I pick it up? Uh, can I pick it up today or tomorrow? Um, how about tomorrow? Can I come tomorrow morning? Um, sure, tomorrow morning. Yeah, sounds good. Um, where do you want to meet up? Uh, you're in Richmond, correct? Uh, no, I'm in Burnaby, actually. You're in Burnaby? Well, yeah, I can meet like, uh, where can you meet actually? I think I'm gonna be in Burnaby anyway. Like, I'm doing a bit of a, I'm doing a bit of computer hardware pickup stuff tomorrow, so. Oh, okay. Uh, I will be, I'll be around. So tell you what, why don't you just pick somewhere, somewhere safe near wherever it is you live, like a Starbucks or whatever, and then just let me know. You've got my number, so if you just text me the address and what time works for you, I'll be there tomorrow morning. Sure. Um, awesome sounds good, then I'll do $80. Sounds good. Okay, all right. All right, thanks. Thank you. Can I get an autograph? Just wondering. That would be no problem. All right, thanks. I'll talk to you later then. All right, take care. Thank you. Bye. Okay, we have secured a GTX 580 for $80. If they can get a slightly faster CPU than us, like maybe an 1155 core i5 quad core, something along those lines, even if they have a slightly lesser video card, they might still come out ahead. If they get a similar video card, better CPU, then we're in real trouble. But basically this is going to, I need to make sure our power supply has support for GTX 580. That's a pretty power hungry card. I wonder what they're up to. Hopefully spinning their wheels, finding nothing. All right, so I got the computer, everything works. He booted it up for me. I got to inspect everything. It's fine. I didn't hike them down anymore. So I got it for $80, which I think is fine. We'll have to see what line it's got, but that seems like an okay deal for an 8400 computer to me. The inside is really nice and clean. So I was happy to see that. Looks like he took good care of it or at least took good care of it right before I got there. Not entirely sure which one, but anyways, kind of baller RAM. I didn't expect this. Okay, maybe not actually baller, but it's gold plated, well not really gold plated, gold painted OCC memory, which I thought was kind of funny. There's the E8400. The fan, CPU fan and everything is in immaculate condition, which is great. Let me get this back in here one quick second. I thought it was kind of funny. The optical drive isn't even hooked up, but I wouldn't use it anyways. So the power supply though is kind of like the most sketchy balls thing ever. It's a power link 450 watt, but yeah, I don't know. No PCIe power whatsoever. There's two molexes though, so I can adapt her off for that. So I don't know. We'll just kind of have to see. So this will be my base platform. I'll see if I need to get a new power supply and then yeah, we'll go from there. This is really awkward because I've just made appointments with our GTX 580 water cooled card and our cooler for it, which are totaling $100, but someone just accepted our offer for $100 on a 7950. So I'm going to do a little bit of research into overclocking the 580 and overclocking the 7950, but I'm going to feel like a real bad dude, but I might have to bail on those guys and take the better offer. The problem is that now I have to go get it tonight, which means I might have to take like the kids with me. So did we decide about going to get things tonight? Yes. No, you can't. I can't. Well, that's very interesting then. I have a call to make. Also, you can't do any more crazy stuff. You're cheating already. I'm not cheating. What are you doing right now? Replying to a message. Okay, I had to do other stuff. I've been back here for a bit. I had to record a voiceover and stuff. Have I been here? Have I been working? Is there actual? Oh, I don't know, Linus. Wow. Dicks. Linus Terrence got that big 4K monitor. Can I have that now? No. This is the 4K. That's not 4K anymore. Sorry, I can't come down to get anything tonight, so I might have to pass. If anything changes, I will give a call tomorrow to let you know. If it comes to that, then if it's not too much to ask, maybe take the card out with you and I could come to you wherever you happen to be, because it's a bit of a scavenger hunt situation I've got going on. Thanks. My number is 3101010 Pizza Hut. Good night. There. I'm done for the night. There. It's all I'm doing tonight. Next time on Scrapyard Wars, Linus gets a tetanus shot, Luke gets mugged, and Nick fights a dingo. You bloody dingo. None of that actually happens. Or does it? Previously on Scrapyard Wars, $300 cash, the very best gaming rig that we can build. That seems like an okay deal for an 8400 computer to me. Someone just accepted our offer for $100 on a $7950. Sorry, I can't come down to get anything tonight, so I might have to pass. If anything. And now the conclusion. We're part of it. I've got a 500 watt Antec power supply that we're headed to pick up right now, and then the R9 290 I got for $180. So that's actually pretty sweet. We will go pick that up later. Did he say 290? Is that fast? What's a graphics card? Okay, so it's day two of our search, and we've got to find out where our destination is, so I'm not exactly sure where we're going. Okay, I have the address for our first appointment on my laptop, which battery is low. Scrapyard Wars 1. There we go. Now we're good. Okay, I really hope that's not it. I think it might be. Holy crap, this is some sketch. Okay, so this is 5332. Holy crap. This is like, this is some sketchy dealings. It's good to be there inviting. No parking. Well, they parked in front of it. Like, where does this door go? I don't know. There's some blood in there though. Hello. Are you Santa? Yes. Hi, I'm Linus. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too. This is Nick. He can turn off the camera if you want. No cameras today. That's fine. So our contact here got us pretty hooked up actually. He had the whole thing running on a test bench to show that it booted up and had core temp, CPUs, and installed and everything, so we could validate that everything's good to go. So this is an EP35DS3R, a pretty decent little board. It's got an extra chip on there for SATA2 RAID. We've got eight gigs of what appears to be mixed and matched. So we've got half Samsung, half Kingston DDR2, 800. There's a Q6600 on there with a cooler. And then we also just thrown in, got what appears to be the remains of a freezer 7. I think we can make use of that with an extra fan or something along those lines. And then we also got an EarthWatts 500 watt power supply, which was better than I was expecting. I actually didn't know what model of power supply we were going to get, but this has got two PCIe six pin connectors on it. So that means that powering our graphics card later isn't going to be a problem at all. And then I thought we were getting a 500 gig hard drive, and we actually ended up with a one terabyte hard drive. So, uh, oh yeah, right in the case. So there were a few sort of CoolerMaster Elite class options, or there was a Silverstone TJ04 that happens to be missing a couple of day covers. Well, I have some day covers. We've got a card reader, a floppy drive. Yeah, baby. So, uh, oh, and look, the Vancouver Olympic mascots. That was a bonus. I didn't even have to pay extra for that. All right. So I'm feeling pretty good. We just need the rest of this day to go well. Still need a graphics card. So I just got my, uh, Antec basic power 500 watt continuous power power supply, which is exactly what I was looking for. Looks like it's in good shape, clean, happy with all that kind of stuff. Well, I was talking to the guy though. I was like, yeah, thanks for doing this. Like, I know it's really short notice because I just emailed them this morning and it was his dad or whatever. Um, and he's like, yeah, it's been an interesting day. Someone was just here picking up a case and power supply like 20 minutes ago. What? Who do you think that is? There's like no way that isn't Linus. Except it wasn't. Man, we're probably so close. Oh, that would have been so funny if we were picking stuff up at the same time. Anyways, let's, let's go get some lunch because, you know, we're having a chill day. They're probably freaking out driving everywhere. So I had multiple leads on 79 50s for $100 and then I actually ended up with two GTX 580s lined up for $100. I decided I wanted 79 50s. So I bailed on all the 580s. I got back to what looked like a very promising 79 50 lead and then heard nothing. So this guy who's actually going to be on different job sites today, but I asked him very nicely yesterday to bring it with him in case I need it. I'm going to try and track him down next after we go meet up with the guy who I promised t-shirts to. Technically, I don't think we're allowed to use anything that we didn't get, but Luke will never know that I used my own. Yeah, that's true. We can always just lie to Luke. Right. Yes. Lying. Lying. Yes, it's right in there. Also, we just arrived to meet up with them. I was trying to figure out how to tell them I don't have the right shirt. Turns out I did grab the right shirts. We do have Linus Tech Tip shirts. So this will be, this will be a lot more successful than it otherwise would have been. Let's go. Hello gentlemen. Nice to meet you. Sorry I wasn't able to take the card unfortunately, but so I found a 79 50, which gives me about a 10% edge in GPU performance. So I got to take it. My plan for this, if I didn't get the Zalman, was I was just going to rip the block off and use like a stock Intel heatsink on the GPU core or something, which would have been awesome and like super ghetto, but I found the 79 50. So I kind of had to take it, but you had said you wanted me to sign something as well. I brought a silver pen. Smartass. There. The real Linus. All right. Since I showed up and didn't didn't buy anything actually. All right. Well, it's a pleasure to meet you gentlemen. We've got to get to our next appointment here and I'm going to go get like a hot chocolate or something, but I'll see you jams later. Wow, because we're not five minutes early. We're nine minutes early. It is now 140. He was supposed to be here at 115. So he just texted me saying he'll be here in one minute. But I'm like, it's fine. I guess 145. I got it, but he's super late. We gotta go. I don't like it when people are late. I especially don't like it when they're that late. And when I like clearly stated that it was important and I needed to go early. 7950 guys said he'd call us back in 10 minutes and that was 18 minutes ago. Now the guy we just met with that we gave the t-shirt to, he has the 580 hydrocopper. So what I'm thinking, I haven't seen him leave yet. Not that I'm parked outside a star box like stalking someone. I haven't seen him leave yet. So if I don't hear back from 7950 guy, that's our backup plan. And we take that and then we try and get in touch with Zellman Cooler guy again and we go for it because that's down in Richmond, which is kind of far, but definitely doable. Mine is speaking. Okay, I'll be there in about half an hour as well. There you are. So let's have a look at our spoils. As long as it works, this will be the only piece we haven't validated. This is a pretty beefy looking card. This is a mostly rear exhaust style card. So it's got the cooling fan just above the VRM cooling piece right here. All right, I am feeling good. I don't know if this is technically cheating because it's just an aesthetic thing, but I'm going to try and find some aluminum face plates. I actually have some boxes of random junk that I'm taking to the office. This is like a $40 piece that realistically I wasn't, Luke's not going to believe I salvaged or got for nothing. These are what I actually need. Yeah, okay. All right, so I'm thinking we'll do the build off in here. So one person will take this desk surface and then the other person will set up a couple desks here and then we can use our pile of computer cases to construct like a wall, a wall like a barrier so that neither of us can see what the other is doing. So we've been back at HQ already for like two hours and Luke and Brandon are nowhere to be seen. They said we can start building at three. So given that it's 2.30 right now, we're pretty close. So let's get set up. This is going to be mad. I'm excited. This is going to be awesome. That's what I said before we turned the camera on and now we're doing it again. It's fake, but it is what I legitimately said. So is it fake? I don't know. No one knows. Okay, so are we doing the part show off? Oh, even though we have no alcohol and no cleaning cloths, I found this napkin on the floor. Oh, that's weird. It doesn't have a model number. Maybe this is an unreleased processor. I, I just, it has a model number. So there's our CPU. That's going to be a phenomenal performer. Here's our RAM. Okay. Here's our other RAM. All right. Here's our third set of RAM. Our fourth set of RAM. And our eighth set of RAM. And our 12th set of RAM. He's got a little bit of a viewing port back there. I got to be careful. He can see around that corner quite easily and he's a little rascally devil. I'd be careful with that one. That's the sound of a quality side panel being dropped right there. I would only drop it like that if I wasn't worried about damaging it because I have so many cases. I bought six cases. I thought that would probably be about, about par. Yeah, you probably only bought six cases because you're going to need six cases to end up with a fully functional one. Yeah. Next time on Scrapyard Wars, Luke runs out of gas in the bad part of town. Nick fights the Statue of Liberty. Yeah, I just don't really like freedom. This is kind of neat. I have cable managed this case a good dozen or two times before. This is actually a case with which I am intimately familiar. So I'm pretty excited about the opportunity to working it again. It's been quite some time. Now it does have tool-less bays here, but they're not exactly the world's most elegant system. This I won't need. So we're just going to tie this up. So this is actually not the correct threading for this piece. So we're kind of creating our own threads as we go. Linus has to clean out his entire PC to get started while Luke only has three parts to pop in to start overclocking. We're not sure what the outcome of this will be, but we do know it will be close. He just isn't cleaning his stuff because he didn't find an advantage rag like I did. Yes, the advantage rags are not real. So Linus is obviously in a stage of denial at the moment. It wasn't real. How could I hold it in my hand? Or we can try and jury rig this. Well, we can take this off without damaging it, without too much. I think we should go for it. So I think that's like all around a little bit. Do a little bit of research. See what this chip is capable of. See what this board is capable of. See what it's capable of. To hear them whispering, as if that'll help. I mean the shopping stage is done, Luke. So you know, the fact that you have crap hardware, no amount of keeping it secret is going to keep it secret forever. And then I'll tease you. Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I'm sorry. Oh, shoot. I hope this has the right mounting hardware. Okay, so these are a little, uh, these are a little worse for the wear right here. See, there is a little trick. You just give me the old that. So here we can, oh, that is some lucky stuff right there. I forgot this. I don't have time for his shenanigans at this point in the competition because winners do not consort with people who don't win as hard. They don't consort with them. Yeah, that's right. Shoot. Got it in there once. Therefore, I can do it again. And that is why I have two children. Yeah, the only one around here with proof of his virility. How do you know? Because your mother would kill you in any other way. I can point. No, no, he's right. My mom would kill me. You'd be dead. Yeah, you'd actually be dead. Yeah. Did we bring out any zip ties? No, but there might be some in the screw bin. That'll do it. Okay. Oh, yeah. Oh, that is a thing of beauty right there. Fantastic. Oh, I'm feeling good today. Yeah, man. My mini-weeds are like, I ate them. I crapped them out. I ate them again. I took a picture. Put it on Instagram. Ew. This was a real score. Like, this was probably worth a good chunk of the budget right there. Come along just nicely. Why don't you get the hell out of here? Spy? We don't hate you over here. We accept your kind. Yeah, losers are stuck hanging out with the other losers. This is real good. This is trustworthy. That's the difference between this and snakes in the grass like Luke. Oh, I should have done this before I did the other thing. Oh, I don't know if it's going to reach. Are you missing my epic struggle over here? No one. Yes. Oh, yeah, that cable management. All right. All right, now we did specifically say that there would be demerit points for leaving the garage. And I don't need to leave the garage, but I do need to walk over here. So I'm averting my eyes. Berkel will hold this box. Are Taryn, is he still here? Okay, well, Berkel will supervise me. Here, I got, see my blinders? Okay, I got my blinders on. This box right here is called the fun box because there's a chair on top of it. For some reason. All right. See, this is something Luke wouldn't even think of needing. Probably because I wouldn't need it because I'm not terrible. Nice. One of these. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Let's get the oh, yeah, there we go. All right. So you got a system fired up over there. I hear keyboard strokes. No, not at all. I didn't finish installing all my drivers like half an hour ago. Oh, what's that sound? Is that a hard drive? Oh, interesting. Well, I, I wouldn't know what a hard drive sounds like. I mean, I'm all solid state over here, man. Here we go. Change to 340 with the edge of the pants. We got a boot fight now. Okay, here's the moment we've all been waiting for. What? Oh, oh. Um, small problem. I mean, it's not a big problem. It's just a small one. Okay. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. We've got this. This is good. So I don't think we have that. We don't. Um, I wonder what we can get out of this baby. Wow, it's been a really long time. No, we're not going to quite go for that. About that. We're going to go for about that. So instead of aiming for like ultimate, why don't we aim for like high? I think we should go ultimate. You want, you want to go ultimate? Yeah. Well, that tells me. We know max possible settings in every game. That tells me a lot about the, uh, the way you waited your, uh, your system. I don't know how much it'll show on screen, but uh. Don't wake up my screen. Oh, okay. Wow, this takes a while to load. Okay. I literally didn't even change anything. I'm going to turn this off. I opened afterburner and typed in a number. Didn't press enter and the screen went black. Oh, all right. Yeah, there's nothing on screen. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, come on. What happened? You take your, you take your attempt. Oh, uh, I'll shut her down. It looks like I might need to dial back. Crash number one has happened. No, that's two crashes. I wasn't benching yet. You said that like it was horrible. Don't worry, mind if you start. No, no, my computer's better under load. It's like a rotary engine. I got to get up to a certain RPM before the video. I might be blaming you for this. What happened? I did nothing. Oh, whenever I open execute, what was the screen goes back? I was working on this last night. That was fun. I haven't touched it unless I came back here in the middle of the night. I've been supervised the entire time I've been here. All right. So this has an FPS counter on it. I guess we're going to see my score. So you might as well check it out. Oh, that artifacting. Does that count against me? I don't know. Like kind of. I don't know. I think that's just part of the benchmark. Frankly, I can't tell. Oh, no, there's some. Oh, okay. All right. I think, I think we have to call this one off. Okay. All right. Seriously. And then seriously, let's just float up 3D mark here. Well, I think I know something about his system. I'm fairly sure that's a reference cooler. That is a sound I've heard before. It has a particular tonality to it. What? That doesn't seem right. It's not running in a full. No, that's fine. All right. So how was yours here? That's looking higher. When we turn the fans feet down and try again. You still have to run the actual games. Don't be too smug. This is a graphics benchmark. I'm just happy I won one of them. I like a lot. I like two times. Was that? Is that how that math works? I think that was for two times. Oh, yeah. That's a crash. Unless your FPS is 1600. 1900. 2200 and counting. It's getting its feet up. 2600 and counting. It's ramping up. Do you see, do you see this clear glitching? So I went by it a hundred times? Glitch exploit. Wait up. No, I'm trying to get to 200 times your speed in a couple of seconds here. All right. Why don't you go ahead and shut that down and I'll take a run at this. This is the physics test. Yeah, you didn't know there was a physics test. They do suck at it. I did, actually. Oh, all right. So 5866 is the mark to beat. Okay. The first successful run. That's still higher. It's not as higher. It's still higher. I might have been drawing too much power. The hard drive is horrible. Like everything's kind of working properly. Did it start walking though? I feel like it started walking most of the time. Because remember, yeah, it was counting FPS. Look at my signs. There's a tearing. But look at the signs. They're still flickering. Not nearly as much though. I'm not saying a deduction point. All right. Here we go. Physics test. Oh dear. So what were you getting here, 17 or something? Yeah. Okay. Oh, that is terrible. That looks pretty smooth. You know what? Oh, the mountains start falling. You get owned. 5866, I think. What have you got? 5745. All right. What the hell is this? Yeah, just run it. Just run it. And then I'll go online. I'll see if that helps. Fourth. That's appropriate. Wow. Average FPS 66.6. Minimum 46.96. That's a pretty respectable minimum. I don't know how bottlenecked you're going to be there. I'm guessing 73. 73. You're going to get, you know, I'm going to guess minimum 58. Yeah, I'm not going to guess at the average. Oh, son. Son, you just got wrecked. Okay. So here's Luke's results. Min 39. Average 63.3. Here's Linus's results. Min 56. Whoa. Average 82.1. All right. Oh, oh, wow. Production points were really bad. I originally thought you had a 79.50. Now I'm pretty sure you have a 79.70, which means you spent about half of your budget on your graphics card, I think. I know for sure you have a- You're wrong. I'm not going to say it wrong. I know for sure you have a dual core CPU because you got absolutely destroyed. You must have DDR2. And I think you've got four gigs of RAM. How did you get a 290? The thing that's going to blow your mind though, I have a Q6600. I was right. Oh, what? Yeah. And that RAM and the dual core, I think was- The dual core is a little rough, but I didn't think you were going to come out with a quad core. Yeah, I got a quad core. That's a lot. I got a quad core. That's pretty cool. So really the big winner. The big winner would have been probably a combination of the two. They could get a 290, a Q6600, 8 gigs of RAM, a good quality power supply, an aluminum fronted case. If we took my card out of my system and put it in here, which is what that would have been, that would be a pretty sick machine for 380 bucks. And that's still cheaper than all the consoles we looked at. And you could still buy one or two games to equal the console price. I think for $300, if you can build a rig like this, then guys, there is at the- You know, it's funny. And I guess we'll make this the conclusion for this. We get this a lot, where people criticize us for focusing really on the high end stuff and the brands that make the most sense at the high end. And they ask us, well, why is that? There's such great value stuff out there on the low end. And the answer is that if either of us were going to build a $500 machine- We'd do something like this. We would do this. We wouldn't be buying new. I would have done exactly what I did for the graphics card, try and find one that I can get, which shouldn't be that cheap. And then I would have not rush purchased that setup because it came with a terrible motherboard. Because if you're smart and you're a good shopper, both of us were doing this at the same time with only 48 hours to turn around all of these deals. Not even. We realistically only had seven or eight hours to contact people and pick up things. And like go get them. We ended up with machines that we could easily resell for more than what we paid. And to match this performance, buying new from the store would cost at least 50% more or more. So there you go guys. Used hardware. Good value. This was fun. This was really fun. But you got wrecked. I did. You got wrecked, son. That quad core, man. That quad core is pretty beast. So thanks for watching guys. This has been the very first round of Scrapyard Wars. We have lots of great ideas coming for this series. Let us know in the comments if you want to see more. Let us know how you liked the format. It's a little different than anything else we've done. Don't forget to subscribe and we'll see you guys again next time. Thanks for watching guys."}
