00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000
Welcome to Scrap Yard Wars 2, episode A, part 1.

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.920
Yeah, that's how it's going to be. So today we've got a new challenge.

00:00:08.920 --> 00:00:12.600
Instead of just building a budget PC, we're going to build a budget PC,

00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:19.520
and then we're going to water cool it. We're going to have a full budget of $500, $300 for our computer,

00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:23.880
and a maximum of $200 for the water cooling parts.

00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:31.480
But there's a twist. We cannot use any off-the-shelf PC water cooling gear, nada.

00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:37.920
So it'll be judged in five sections. One, creativity, two, effectiveness, three aesthetics, four acoustics,

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.080
and then five is just overall. We're going to have a few ground rules as usual.

00:00:42.080 --> 00:00:47.280
So number one is it's tower only. We don't have to source a monitor and keyboard and mouse.

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.720
Number two is that there's no pre-work or in-between work. We weren't allowed doing research before the event,

00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:57.160
and we're not allowed doing research like after work. And number three is going to get a bit of a curve ball this time.

00:00:57.160 --> 00:01:00.640
Last time we said no help from friends, family, co-workers,

00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:05.000
social media contacts, whatever. This time we're going to allow it.

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.160
But the panel of judges has been instructed

00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:11.280
that they are to deduct points from us,

00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:16.840
depending on how much we take advantage of anyone other than our own wits.

00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:21.200
And last isn't really rules, but we're just going to define what constitutes as a water cooling component.

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:27.720
So there's cooling blocks, so your CPU water block or potentially GPU water block or whatever the heck else you decide to cool.

00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:34.200
Fittings, tubing, radiators, fans, pumps, reservoirs, or the coolant.

00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.800
So that's it. Let's get started, shall we? Yeah. Scrapyard Wars.

00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:42.160
Scrapyard Wars.

00:01:45.080 --> 00:01:48.240
The time is now two thirty. Go. Before we start.

00:01:48.240 --> 00:02:00.000
All right, you can count it. I know mine's right. 12, 9, 13, 9, 8, 7, 12, 15, 20, 8, 13, 12, 17.

00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:05.320
We are just going to charge on out of here

00:02:05.320 --> 00:02:07.360
as if we have some idea of what's going on.

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.320
Let's just wait and buy. He's leaving. All right.

00:02:12.320 --> 00:02:16.360
I'm not going to look at him. I'm going to let him waste time by heartening it. Ignoring us.

00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:18.040
It's OK. We'll get their attention.

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.360
They're gone. I think they're gone.

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:32.920
Bye.

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:40.440
I kind of have a plan for this video.

00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:45.320
There is no performance judgment criteria.

00:02:45.320 --> 00:02:49.720
So it actually doesn't matter what PC that we decide to use.

00:02:49.720 --> 00:02:53.600
So instead of stressing out about building a great PC,

00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.800
I'm going to go straight for water cooling parts.

00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.480
And I'm just going to kind of water cool whatever PC I find.

00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:06.920
Something that's actually critical for me is the lifeline component.

00:03:07.640 --> 00:03:10.840
Unlike Luke, I am planning to use the lifeline.

00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.160
In fact, my strategy hinged on it so much

00:03:15.160 --> 00:03:19.520
that I was very, very afraid we weren't going to allow them.

00:03:20.040 --> 00:03:25.120
So Luke and I disagreed strongly about whether we should be allowed to have any kind of outside help.

00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:32.720
I said yes, he said no. And Nick was actually the one who saved my bacon here by settling it and saying,

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:40.320
OK, it should be allowed, but the judges should factor it in because I have a neighbor who might be able to help me a little bit with this,

00:03:40.320 --> 00:03:44.960
even though I know that I'm giving Luke the ability to leverage his dad,

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.400
who is crazy handy and has a lot of tools.

00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:55.960
I want to find a a computer really quick

00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:59.240
so I can figure out the whole layout for the socket

00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.120
so that I can try to start making blocks pretty much immediately.

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.800
So I don't want to spend a ton of time looking for a computer.

00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:16.960
But I don't want it to be like garbage either. I'm going to go to probably an auto junkyard to find my radiator.

00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:24.280
I'm heading to the pet store now for my pump. I really don't have a plan in terms of the reservoir,

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:30.160
but I'm hoping that that I can come up with some kind of a good idea

00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:35.960
as far as that's concerned. And then the blocks, the blocks are going to be the challenge.

00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.400
And that's where my neighbor comes in. He has a CNC mill.

00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:45.280
So we are going to try to actually make a CPU block

00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:49.560
like a decent CPU block and a full cover GPU block.

00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:55.000
That is the plan right now. So let's get some trash talk going early.

00:04:55.000 --> 00:05:00.600
Hey, you suck. Well, yeah, take that, Luke.

00:05:01.640 --> 00:05:04.960
What a dick. I'm not going to play his silly little games.

00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:08.640
Time to be a man. OK, so we're looking at pumps.

00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:13.360
And these are all air pumps.

00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:21.200
OK, then. OK, so unfortunately they are doing some re-cajiggering of their inventory.

00:05:21.200 --> 00:05:24.880
And the only one they have is this one right here, which is like 80 bucks.

00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:28.920
But they suggested that maybe if we go to Canadian Tire, we can find something.

00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:31.920
I am interested in finding something that's submersible, though,

00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:36.200
since one of the judgment categories is acoustics.

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.480
And having a submersible pump will make my system very quiet.

00:05:40.640 --> 00:05:43.000
So that won't help me for now, though.

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.320
I mean, really, we're not going about this the most efficient possible way right now.

00:05:48.320 --> 00:05:52.400
But frankly, I'm not that concerned. We've got three days to pretty much build

00:05:52.400 --> 00:05:57.080
and water cool a computer and not get run over. So. I don't know.

00:05:57.080 --> 00:06:00.480
Maybe I should be more worried, but I think we got this.

00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.000
Hi there. I saw your gaming tower ad on Craigslist.

00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:11.000
I was just wondering if you could give me a deal if I didn't take the monitor keyboard or mouse.

00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:20.440
Yeah, I can let it go. I don't know, 200 bucks or something.

00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:25.400
200. Yeah. Yeah, I can do 200.

00:06:25.400 --> 00:06:29.040
OK, can I come pick it up right now? Cool.

00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.040
Cool. So he has a.

00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:38.120
It's a classic case, as you can see there. You guys are going to turn the monitor like that.

00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:44.160
Some of you guys remember that case maybe from a long time ago. It's not the greatest looking case, but it's a classic case.

00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:46.680
He does have a graphics card in it, but it's super boring.

00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.600
It's not the most interesting thing ever.

00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:55.760
But it'll work and I got it for 200 bucks. So I have $100 to splurge on potentially

00:06:55.960 --> 00:06:59.520
an old graphics card that looks nice and potentially a better case.

00:06:59.520 --> 00:07:04.160
Because I saw some cases on there that were like 40 bucks and looks really nice.

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:08.200
I don't want to do something as ghetto as like a sawed off milk jug, but.

00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:13.200
Yeah, I don't know what to use, maybe like

00:07:14.320 --> 00:07:18.040
maybe like one of those big gulp drink containers on the top with like

00:07:18.760 --> 00:07:21.080
like fittings coming down into the system or something.

00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:26.240
Why not one of those little goldfish aquarium things

00:07:26.840 --> 00:07:32.080
that are like terrible that you shouldn't use? Should I put a goldfish in my loop and a filter?

00:07:32.520 --> 00:07:36.400
We could store our goldfish in one of these. Seems harmless.

00:07:36.440 --> 00:07:38.440
OK, so here's a submersible pump.

00:07:39.440 --> 00:07:44.440
One hundred and ten dollars. That would be literally over half of our budget.

00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:49.920
There's cheaper stuff here. But like the cheapest.

00:07:50.080 --> 00:07:53.120
Oh, no, OK. Hold on a second.

00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.760
The cheapest one is $13. But if that's the kind of flow rate we're talking about

00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:59.920
and only a one year warranty.

00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:08.920
But then twenty bucks gets a seventy gets a seventy five gallons per hour.

00:08:09.200 --> 00:08:14.360
You know what? We should remember this. I'm not going to buy it now, but that actually may be a solution.

00:08:14.840 --> 00:08:19.480
Whenever he's going to do something that's like cheating or borderline cheating,

00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:26.760
he usually makes sure that there's very defined rules around it

00:08:27.200 --> 00:08:31.280
so that he knows specifically how he can go around those rules.

00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:37.000
So I'm wondering if he's going to just try to find things that are

00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:42.640
essentially the same, but are not technically for water cooling.

00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:48.920
I might. Yeah, I might source another graphics card. I might source a new case, although this is a fairly classic case.

00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:53.960
So I might also stick with this guy. There's also a bit of metal and I'm going to be modding it quite heavily.

00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:56.000
So there you go. So if you can't.

00:08:57.760 --> 00:09:02.440
OK, so this thing sucks, but there's a lot of metal,

00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.360
which I'm actually super down with.

00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:09.280
Getting a better graphics card at this point is going to be a little sketchy

00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:13.560
because I was pretty sure in his ad I could totally be wrong,

00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.320
but I was pretty sure in his ad I'm going to put this in the back

00:09:18.520 --> 00:09:22.120
that he showed a 750 watt power supply

00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.040
that might have been the other computer I was looking at. Oh, well, I'll figure it out.

00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:32.640
Maybe no new graphics card, probably new case, because that one's actually fairly scratched up.

00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:36.880
So we're going to go home and try to go to Princess Auto

00:09:38.160 --> 00:09:42.720
because if I can get a block working for the CPU

00:09:44.160 --> 00:09:51.960
and like that's going to be the hardest thing. So if I can source some materials and start trying to make a block work at all.

00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:55.680
And I'll just make it for the CPU.

00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.360
Then I'll then I'll know that I have the methodology down

00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:04.840
that I should be able to do it again for the graphics card. So I'll just do one at once and then try to reproduce that

00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:10.080
instead of trying to deal with getting two of them working at the exact same time.

00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:14.600
OK, so the last real store I want to go to before I start

00:10:15.800 --> 00:10:22.000
calling places and browsing online is Home Depot, just because I think this is where I can probably find the tubing I need.

00:10:22.800 --> 00:10:26.680
And that's the one piece of the puzzle

00:10:26.680 --> 00:10:32.120
where I'm not even sure if I'm going to be able to find it used. So I need to know how much that costs before I shop for everything else.

00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.520
So that whole strategy where you leave your car unlocked because there's nothing valuable in it anyway,

00:10:37.520 --> 00:10:40.880
only works if you don't leave your like razor blade in your car.

00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:45.120
They're like not that crazy expensive.

00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:49.560
Like this this could work if I decide to bail on the on the reservoir

00:10:49.560 --> 00:10:54.800
out right, then I've got my key line. So that's only two fifty here at Home Depot.

00:10:55.480 --> 00:11:00.400
So it's time to do some napkin math. Let's figure out how much we know we're spending

00:11:00.400 --> 00:11:07.880
and then how much we have we have left to spend. So so buying new 20 here.

00:11:08.160 --> 00:11:13.040
We need about 10 here. Actually, we should call that 25 because of tax reservoir.

00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:21.800
You know what, I think I'm going to lock into the T line. So that gives us about one hundred and fifty dollars for radiator.

00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:28.400
So pump, we can get away with saving one by getting us. Oh, no, we can't have a submersible pump now because of the res.

00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:34.720
We need to obtain a reservoir if we use the submersible pump.

00:11:36.040 --> 00:11:40.120
Shoot. So Canadian Tire really didn't like us.

00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:44.400
We got threatened to be thrown in court. So all that footage is going to be thrown away.

00:11:44.400 --> 00:11:48.360
But basically, they're actually super helpful auto parts guy

00:11:48.800 --> 00:11:53.880
got me a part number for their cheapest radiator, which is one hundred and eight dollars.

00:11:53.880 --> 00:11:57.960
So that's not that cheap, but could be workable in the budget.

00:11:58.160 --> 00:12:02.760
I know the pump that I'm looking for is also about forty five fifty dollars.

00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:06.960
So that's one hundred and fifty bucks out of my budget right there.

00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:11.800
And I would still need metal and fittings and a fish tank.

00:12:13.160 --> 00:12:18.960
And to me, so we probably can't afford all that.

00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:21.880
I didn't think the radiator was going to be hard.

00:12:25.680 --> 00:12:33.200
So I would be looking for something fairly inexpensive, but and preferably with a fan already on it, but I'm not super picky about what exactly it is.

00:12:33.400 --> 00:12:39.080
See radiator core for twenty five dollars. I'd be looking for a car radiator, but I just I don't really care which one it is.

00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:46.480
I'd just be looking for something relatively small. Like, do you guys have any salvage radiators that I could pick up?

00:12:47.640 --> 00:12:51.200
Yeah, I got a bunch of them. Oh, really? Wow.

00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:54.920
You're the you're the first person with good news that I've talked to in the last hour.

00:12:56.760 --> 00:13:01.400
Um, what would I be looking at for something like that? I don't have a huge budget for it.

00:13:01.400 --> 00:13:07.400
Under the dollar kind of thing. But I think you're not really to what radiator.

00:13:07.400 --> 00:13:09.840
I'm sure I can pick up for fifty bucks.

00:13:10.560 --> 00:13:17.640
OK, all right. Thank you so much. Oh, here's twenty bucks, half inch, half inch gas pipe, new.

00:13:17.920 --> 00:13:23.040
OK, let's let's just let's call. Hi, I'm calling about the copper pipe.

00:13:23.040 --> 00:13:25.280
And I mean, is there anything wrong with it?

00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:31.520
OK, wonderful. Thank you very much, 30 to 50 feet.

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:37.120
That could work. So here's where we're at. We've got two leads on PCs.

00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:40.880
The plan with the copper tube is that I'm basically just going to like

00:13:41.520 --> 00:13:46.240
bend it up and jam it inside the case so that it can take advantage

00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.320
of any of the airflow that's already coming through the case to cool

00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:53.440
the CPU and and hopefully the GPU.

00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.200
So there it is. There's our there's our copper copper tubing.

00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:00.320
So in terms of bendability,

00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:08.560
it looks like I will be able to hand bend it. I don't know with what amount of precision we have our first part.

00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:11.480
Again, I'm not too concerned about the PC.

00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.720
And we have one cooling component with leads on most of the rest.

00:14:16.920 --> 00:14:18.960
It was a good day today.

00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:26.440
Oh, I just realized I'm going to have a mixed metal loop.

00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:31.720
I was planning to use a heater core or something, which is a lot of them are made of aluminum.

00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:36.640
And then I was planning to make aluminum blocks now that I have the copper tubing.

00:14:37.760 --> 00:14:41.000
I'm going to have to budget for some kind of corrosion inhibitor.

00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:44.920
The judges probably won't know that anyway.

00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.160
Next time on Scrapyard Wars, Linus whips it out.

00:14:50.160 --> 00:14:55.000
My goodness, it's so long. Luke comes into a serious situation with the Dremel tool.

00:14:55.000 --> 00:15:01.840
He always had three fingers, right? I yell over to Terran to tell Brandon that I need him to get the camera ready

00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.760
so we can go and that never happened.

00:15:05.760 --> 00:15:08.760
Brandon was never told we're leaving now. It's about 12 30.

00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:15.000
Yeah, so we're late. OK, so my first hit for aluminum block Vancouver is from Hardware Canucks,

00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:19.560
one of the first good old Sugar Jay. One of the first recommendations is a metal mart.

00:15:19.760 --> 00:15:23.200
So Vancouver in the suburb of Langley.

00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:28.320
Yeah, boy, we're practically sitting on one of their locations.

00:15:29.560 --> 00:15:33.200
OK, awesome. All right. So here's what we're trying to do.

00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:39.120
We want to make a a cooling block for a computer component.

00:15:39.400 --> 00:15:44.560
Bippity-boop. There we go. Can you give me some idea of what we'll be looking at for like a block of aluminum?

00:15:44.560 --> 00:15:48.080
Maybe a thick, maybe a big or like a price on it.

00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:53.920
Yeah, what does that cost? Is that the like cheapo scrap bin?

00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:59.480
But there's things like that. Yeah, that that's the one I actually saw right when I walked in and I thought

00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:03.760
that looks pretty appealing. Yeah, I need it today and this is thick enough.

00:16:03.760 --> 00:16:07.880
Yeah. So so like, do you just sell it by the length or?

00:16:08.280 --> 00:16:12.000
So you. So how much does it cost?

00:16:15.680 --> 00:16:18.320
I wasn't even able to pick that stupid thing up when I was there.

00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.640
And is there a particular grade or like alloy that it is?

00:16:22.640 --> 00:16:25.800
Yeah, sixty sixty one six.

00:16:25.800 --> 00:16:28.200
All right, that meant nothing to me.

00:16:29.280 --> 00:16:31.840
It's it's machinable.

00:16:32.400 --> 00:16:36.120
More audible. It's like a structural type of aluminum.

00:16:36.280 --> 00:16:38.120
OK. OK.

00:16:40.640 --> 00:16:45.160
It's pretty decent quality. Pretty decent quality. What a sales pitch. I like this guy.

00:16:46.160 --> 00:16:51.760
I don't even know shops like this existed. Just like here's a ginormous metal rod.

00:16:53.280 --> 00:16:56.720
So five inches would cost six sixty one after tax.

00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:02.000
Six dollars and sixty one cents. Wow. It's a 45 foot.

00:17:02.800 --> 00:17:07.400
Not bad. OK. And then you guys have a charge for for cuts, right?

00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:11.040
First cut on that is free every cut after the dollar.

00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:14.360
OK. Hey, that's very reasonable.

00:17:15.560 --> 00:17:18.600
OK, can I can I have a couple of minutes with an napkin and a pen

00:17:18.600 --> 00:17:21.400
and kind of figure out what exactly I need?

00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:28.160
Fantastic. Thank you. OK, so a CPU block.

00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:34.600
There's a couple of different ways we can go about this. We could go really small, like the older nexus

00:17:35.040 --> 00:17:39.240
alpha cool blocks that were only about yay big.

00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:41.720
But what I worry about is we wouldn't be.

00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.000
What? What's the camera?

00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:53.800
Linus is here. They're here here.

00:17:57.600 --> 00:18:01.280
Well, I'm just going to hide this diagram.

00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:05.160
What's in there? Nothing. What's that? See you later. What is it? Bye.

00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:06.160
Show me.

00:18:09.080 --> 00:18:12.840
This isn't awkward at all. I wonder what we're both doing.

00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:21.320
Well, I guess we're going to we're going to we're going to get

00:18:21.320 --> 00:18:24.040
what we're getting and then get out of here because

00:18:25.360 --> 00:18:28.600
if you give us five minutes, we're pretty much allowed to stay in the store.

00:18:28.600 --> 00:18:33.440
Pretty much. Wow. All right.

00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:42.840
We'll be we'll be back. We'll be back later then because I can't give away too much of my plan.

00:18:45.560 --> 00:18:51.280
You're leaving too?

00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:55.400
Oh, oh, I see. I see. All right. All right. I'll see you.

00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:04.640
Well, he's found a source for metal. We know this much.

00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:11.640
So I saw online that you guys could do fabrication, not this location, not this

00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:14.240
occasion. Poor Kells. Poor Kells. OK, that's fine.

00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:19.360
If I asked if I showed them this, could they make me a plate with a little pot on it?

00:19:20.320 --> 00:19:23.760
Probably. What kind of pod?

00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:28.920
It's I was looking for a copper plate with holes through it so I could go through there

00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:33.360
and then just any form of dome pod that would go over top of the sea view.

00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:37.760
You got that, Sam? Yeah, OK. It sounds like something they could do. Yeah.

00:19:37.760 --> 00:19:41.080
They're pretty talented up there. So poor Kells, can you give me the address?

00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:46.760
I think we just saw Brandon and Luke on the road, but it couldn't be.

00:19:46.760 --> 00:19:50.600
You know, ah, no, we're not going to chase them. I think they're heading to Home Depot, though.

00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:53.680
That's OK. We've already been to Home Depot.

00:19:55.080 --> 00:20:00.880
Well, I have. You haven't. All right. So they're making progress then.

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:05.480
Oh, ball sack. This might be one of the ones I really liked.

00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:08.880
Oh, but I can't get it till after five. Which one is this?

00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:13.840
I've never been overclocked a blebity blip. One fifty.

00:20:14.800 --> 00:20:18.280
You know what? You know what? This isn't in a Sonata 3 case.

00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:27.760
It's by the time we put a graphics card in it. Oh, we could afford a better graphics card, though, than the one we're about to go.

00:20:28.760 --> 00:20:31.680
We're just going to go see it. Yeah, we're going to go. We're going to go see it.

00:20:32.280 --> 00:20:37.440
And you know what, though, barring anything unforeseen, I'm just going to grab it, I think.

00:20:39.760 --> 00:20:45.760
Oh, we're getting pulled over.

00:20:46.360 --> 00:20:48.960
So I know you're touching your phone, but you can't do what you drive.

00:20:49.560 --> 00:20:52.440
Yes, sir. Super duper don't know.

00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:08.160
Here for a Craigslist computer pickup. So this is it, you say.

00:21:09.120 --> 00:21:12.160
This is an X58 based system.

00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:18.800
I did not see that one coming. This is what we're going to be dealing with.

00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:22.280
This card shouldn't be a problem.

00:21:23.600 --> 00:21:28.400
Although it's a really good thing that we didn't go and pick out a chunk of aluminum

00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:35.960
for our CPU cooler based on an LG A775 socket size, because this is using LG A1366.

00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:38.640
Does it have a front fan in it or not?

00:21:40.320 --> 00:21:45.800
It does not. We are not going to have a lot of airflow, so I'm going to have to get really creative

00:21:45.800 --> 00:21:52.800
about how I jam all of this in there to even have any chance of cooling this thing.

00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:59.360
OK, well, there you go. That's that's pretty much all of our PC budget right there.

00:21:59.760 --> 00:22:05.200
The rest we have is cooling budget. You might want to count it. Yep.

00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:10.360
That is one rancid front filter.

00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:15.960
Whoa. Ready? I'm going to do it.

00:22:16.040 --> 00:22:19.040
Don't be downwind. Which way is downwind? That way.

00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.600
Oh, it's going back to the computer. No, get away from my car.

00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:32.920
Oh, look at that. That's a feather. There's a feather.

00:22:35.840 --> 00:22:41.520
Yeah. Yeah, if I just got a small amount of metal from you guys in a sheet

00:22:43.040 --> 00:22:46.280
that I could put on, could I just essentially epoxy a cap on there?

00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:51.920
Would that be fine? The cost of fabrication is high, although that totally makes sense.

00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:56.920
That's what they do here. So getting it welded is probably not an option right now.

00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.520
That would be super cool if I was doing this on my own and had more than a $200 budget,

00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:04.600
but I don't. So I'm going to fall back to the JB weld solution.

00:23:05.360 --> 00:23:10.880
So this probably sounds terrible because it looks like they're cutting my sheet probably right there, actually.

00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:14.680
So I'm getting a copper sheet, little locks of copper.

00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:21.560
It's super cheap just to cut it. So that's pretty nice. And then I'm going to have to kind of cut it to size my own drill the holes myself.

00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.640
And then I'm going to hopefully find a copper or aluminum cap of some sort

00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:35.360
at Home Depot or something. So I just got in total the copper plate for about six bucks

00:23:36.040 --> 00:23:39.320
only because he had to sell it to me at a minimum quantity.

00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:45.480
I didn't know that until he was telling me out. So I probably should have just got more just in case, but I didn't.

00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:48.960
So, oh, well, I'll figure it out. If I need more, it's not that big of a deal.

00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:54.200
It wasn't that expensive. And I'm sure if I go back there, I can be like, here's the invoice.

00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:58.480
You charge me for half a pound. I only got like 0.125 of a pound.

00:23:58.520 --> 00:24:01.880
Can you just give me some more and it might be fine.

00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:05.920
The cap costs about two dollars and 75 cents copper cap.

00:24:06.120 --> 00:24:09.440
It's gross. I'm going to have to clean that up, but that's no problem.

00:24:09.560 --> 00:24:13.560
I'm not worried about reservoir. I'm going to pretty much ignore reservoir as of right now

00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:18.200
because I can just do the fall back of like going to Safeway

00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:21.360
and buying a one dollar, two liter bottle of pop

00:24:22.840 --> 00:24:27.280
and just like pouring the pop out, cleaning it up and then using that as a reservoir.

00:24:27.320 --> 00:24:30.400
But pump and radiator is going to be a pretty serious problem.

00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:34.120
Radiator is going to be expensive and large.

00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:40.920
So there's the idea of just buying a car radiator. And there's also the idea of doing the copper coil thing.

00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:44.040
But I'd kind of rather not. But I'm going to buy a copper coil right now

00:24:44.040 --> 00:24:48.320
so that I can cut it up and use parts of it. So I guess we'll see what happens from that.

00:24:49.120 --> 00:24:55.760
So I got my copper tubing that I was looking for. This should be small enough to fit into that cap that I was talking about.

00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:59.680
And it's actually fairly flexible.

00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:04.880
So I got a fair amount of it because it's not too expensive. And I'm going to try to just use it as all my tubing

00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:14.680
because that would actually be kind of nice. Because if I can just JB weld this into my blocks and whatnot,

00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:18.200
then I can save money on fittings, which would be pretty sick.

00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:22.880
But kind of funny sort of while I was in there, I wanted to ask if Brandon could come in and film.

00:25:23.120 --> 00:25:26.880
And there was no one for me to ask. I couldn't find any employees anywhere, which is fine.

00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:31.720
It's more of a self-serve store. And we're in Princess Auto, by the way.

00:25:32.040 --> 00:25:37.920
So I get up to the teller and I go to buy my whole big role of copper tubing.

00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:41.560
And she's like, oh, did you get it cut? I'm like, oh, no, I just wanted to get all of it.

00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:46.560
And she's like, oh, you should get it cut. So I go back to get it cut. Some guys trying to steal a whole bunch of stuff from the store.

00:25:46.560 --> 00:25:50.640
He has his pockets completely full with like products literally coming out of it.

00:25:50.840 --> 00:25:55.760
And like, you have to pay for that. You have to pay for that. So he freaks out and just starts throwing products down the aisles

00:25:55.760 --> 00:25:58.800
while leaving the store and just hucks everything all over the place

00:25:58.800 --> 00:26:03.840
and then gets pissed off and leaves the store. And then I get my thing cut and there's like a billion employees.

00:26:03.840 --> 00:26:08.000
And I could have easily asked for Brandon to come in and film, but I was finally done. So let's go.

00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:18.040
Fifty bucks. So what I saved on my radiator, I may have actually just had to spend on coolant.

00:26:19.040 --> 00:26:22.680
But I have my pump. I have my coolant.

00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:28.080
I have my reservoir. I have my rad. And we're going to go pick up the raw materials for our blocks now.

00:26:28.560 --> 00:26:32.240
I just want to do a quick sanity check to make sure that my pump

00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:35.640
fits inside my reservoir before we leave here.

00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:42.280
Oh, that's really close. Oh, oh, that's quite restrictive at the inlet, isn't it?

00:26:42.280 --> 00:26:45.400
Oh, not too bad, actually. OK, hold on.

00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:47.680
Hold on, just a gosh darn moment here.

00:26:48.560 --> 00:26:50.600
These really are the world's worst suction cups, though.

00:26:52.120 --> 00:26:56.240
I might get away with that.

00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:03.040
This thing isn't going to seal anymore, though. That's for darn sure. I guess I didn't really think of that.

00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:08.520
Hmm. OK, so we're back at metal mark.

00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:14.800
Let's go ahead and have a close look at exactly what we need for metal for our blocks.

00:27:15.080 --> 00:27:17.680
And that's fine. Don't get the door for me or anything. Just hold that camera.

00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:25.040
I'm going to try to be looser back at him. I don't know who talked to me.

00:27:25.040 --> 00:27:27.040
You got a paint black card in there for me.

00:27:28.320 --> 00:27:32.640
I have a very, I have a very fixed budget. That's part of the competition.

00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:37.000
You wanted some corporate ring made, we sent him up to the other shop.

00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:40.640
Ah, I know what he wants. I know what he wants.

00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:44.400
With holes in it and with dome. I know what he wants.

00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:48.400
That's OK. Do you have a dome or something? I have a better plan than him anyway.

00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:51.960
Pro trolls, man. Pro trolls. You would do it all day.

00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.080
Looks like, man, this is, I wish I had my calipers.

00:27:56.080 --> 00:27:59.440
He's got digital calipers. You're the man, man.

00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:04.000
OK, so center to center. And then the...

00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:08.000
Zero that bad boy again.

00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:14.160
Ah, slice my hand. Wow, what?

00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:16.720
Surprisingly deep for not drawing blood. Oh, there's a little bit.

00:28:17.360 --> 00:28:19.600
Yeah, these are sharp by the way in case anyone was wondering.

00:28:20.800 --> 00:28:26.000
Here's our order. We need eight pieces. We need, I'm basically just buying two of each

00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:30.960
to give us a buffer to screw up. OK, so our metals costing us 38, 37.

00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:36.160
I had, I asked for a lot more cuts than I had gotten my original quote on.

00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:40.000
So this is definitely more than I had necessarily wanted to spend on it.

00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:44.000
But I think 40 bucks

00:28:45.280 --> 00:28:50.000
for two water blocks I can find a way to live with.

00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:53.520
So that means we have left in our budget

00:28:53.520 --> 00:28:56.720
for fittings, any miscellaneous stuff.

00:28:57.520 --> 00:29:00.160
We've got 85 dollars. Not bad.

00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:04.080
Not bad. I think we're still, I think we're still, I think we're still OK.

00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:11.840
So here, let's have a look at the goods here. So these two are going to be those,

00:29:11.840 --> 00:29:16.240
that's going to be that heat sink for the GPU VRM.

00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:20.720
These bad boys here are going to be my tops

00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:26.560
for my CPU blocks, which are here. And then our GPU blocks, and this is heavy though.

00:29:26.560 --> 00:29:31.680
We're going to have to take a lot of material out of this just for weight. So we've got two of those as well.

00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:38.000
So we have two of everything so that we don't have to leave the CNC tomorrow.

00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:42.480
Oh, was the two dollars a change? Yep. OK, awesome. Thank you very much.

00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:47.840
You're very welcome. Very good, sir. Happy now. And I really hope this works.

00:29:48.800 --> 00:29:55.920
I have no backup plan. Next time on Scrapyard Wars, the mayor of Kohak does the outro.

00:29:56.800 --> 00:30:00.960
Linus climbs a 40 foot tree. Now really, he actually climbs a tree.

00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:04.160
So stay tuned. On this, all depends.

00:30:05.360 --> 00:30:09.360
So let's keep it safe. So nice guys at the Metal Mart.

00:30:09.360 --> 00:30:11.600
They actually looked us up in between

00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:16.400
the first time we were there and the second time. And they said to us,

00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:21.280
you guys aren't just some two-bit guy in a camera.

00:30:21.840 --> 00:30:26.720
You guys have got a lot of subscribers on their YouTube.

00:30:27.360 --> 00:30:33.920
And they actually offered us a discount on the metal. But because I'm an honest competitor who never cheats,

00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:38.160
I didn't accept it. But we're going to mention the Metal Mart anyway,

00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:41.520
just because they seem to be pretty good guys.

00:30:41.520 --> 00:30:45.760
They let us film in the store. They have lots of metal.

00:30:45.760 --> 00:30:48.960
It's everything I know about them. So this is interesting. Luke's back.

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:54.160
And he's parked in an unusual place.

00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:59.280
I think he might be leaving some space to work in the garage.

00:31:00.080 --> 00:31:05.680
So I wonder what he's up to back there. So I was trying to, I was yelling.

00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:12.160
I was saying, so I guess you guys are probably in the garage. But I think that's my answer.

00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:16.960
Doesn't say anything about my camera person staying out and showing me the footage later.

00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:41.520
I think my decision making here is going to come down to

00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:46.160
measure never cut a whole bunch of times.

00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:53.360
Which I guess falls under the do as we say not as we do

00:31:53.360 --> 00:31:55.760
mentality because I would always say measure twice cut once.

00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:59.680
But I'm not going to go as bad as Linus and like counterweight

00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:03.040
this motherboard with the Titan X and a 780 Ti.

00:32:03.040 --> 00:32:06.960
So you don't have to worry about that. I'm going to do shallow cuts.

00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:09.920
So I'm going to cut not nearly as far as I need to.

00:32:11.760 --> 00:32:15.120
And just try to kind of keep on creeping it a little bit closer.

00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:23.280
For tubing. I don't know whether or not I want to use this copper tubing

00:32:23.280 --> 00:32:25.040
for the whole thing or not.

00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:34.320
It's probably possible, but I don't know because I have no idea

00:32:34.320 --> 00:32:38.480
what I'm going to end up with in terms of radiator pumps.

00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:43.040
So I don't really want to dedicate myself to anything.

00:32:47.760 --> 00:32:51.360
This never works right.

00:32:51.360 --> 00:32:56.480
So we're at my house now because Luke took over the garage at the at the office.

00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:01.600
And it's time to do some test fit stuff with our with our scrapyard PC.

00:33:01.600 --> 00:33:05.280
So this is my this is what I practice my knife throwing.

00:33:05.280 --> 00:33:11.120
And this is where I'll be finding out if my plans to bend the copper are even

00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:26.320
even remotely have any basis in reality. So what I wanted to do was actually use the bender from our hard pipe liquid cooling.

00:33:26.320 --> 00:33:34.400
So we used this for bending and I am actually going to try to do it with copper.

00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:39.200
If I can bend it 90, then I think I'm safe.

00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:44.640
So what I'll have to do is disassemble the computer fully, cut apart the case,

00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:48.160
and then as long as I can bend the copper into 90s,

00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:55.360
then I will pretty much try to fill in as many of the gaps as I can with copper tubing.

00:33:56.080 --> 00:34:01.840
As you can see, we're probably not going to get the entire length in there,

00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:07.280
but I'm certainly going to try and put in as much as I can with it as it bends.

00:34:07.280 --> 00:34:11.600
That I didn't know that I probably won't be able to do. Well, that makes sense to you though, right?

00:34:12.240 --> 00:34:15.520
No, it doesn't make sense. I don't know. Let me just try this.

00:34:17.680 --> 00:34:25.920
The fact that we can't use tools we don't have access to makes this a little tougher,

00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:27.920
because otherwise I'd be blowing my entire budget.

00:34:29.040 --> 00:34:33.120
Oh, it's going to kink. Okay, okay, that's fine.

00:34:34.560 --> 00:34:41.440
That's fine. We can saw that back off. So let's try a larger radius.

00:34:41.600 --> 00:34:44.240
Okay, now I'm worried.

00:34:46.240 --> 00:34:51.600
I want to disrupt as little of the nice part of this as I can.

00:34:54.640 --> 00:34:58.560
Okay, we might be screwed though.

00:35:01.200 --> 00:35:05.120
Okay, let's try and go for something very gradual here.

00:35:07.200 --> 00:35:10.240
Yeah, holding, having this held down better is going to help a lot,

00:35:11.200 --> 00:35:18.400
but for now what we're doing is mostly experimentation.

00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:21.280
Yep. Okay, so it kinked again. Is that ruined?

00:35:22.240 --> 00:35:24.640
This part of it? Yes, so we're going to cut it off here, for sure.

00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:29.200
Okay, okay, all right, so that's okay.

00:35:29.200 --> 00:35:30.960
I thought you have the right tools for the job, man.

00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:37.040
That's okay. We'll find a way. I'm not going to be defeated by this.

00:35:41.200 --> 00:35:44.160
But this obviously isn't going inside the case.

00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:50.560
Obviously. It was probably obvious to a lot of our viewers before I figured it out,

00:35:50.560 --> 00:35:52.880
but I've caught up now.

00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:57.840
How to bend copper pipe and tubing without crushing it.

00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:02.160
Step one, fill it with salt. Straighten it out to begin.

00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:07.840
Okay, well this might actually work. This is probably how they do it.

00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:10.400
Okay, so here, let's take this out into the driveway.

00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:27.440
Okay, well, I obviously can't leave this stupid copper tube in my driveway,

00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:32.560
so we need to move it to my backyard, which is the only place I have that's big enough to keep it.

00:36:34.720 --> 00:36:35.680
Oh, you hit the tree.

00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:40.160
This doesn't really get me any closer

00:36:42.560 --> 00:36:46.720
to figuring out how much space it's going to take up in here,

00:36:46.720 --> 00:36:48.240
how tightly I can coil it,

00:36:51.680 --> 00:36:55.600
if and how much is going to need to come outside of the case.

00:36:55.600 --> 00:36:58.880
So you know what we can do for the next few minutes here before we wrap up

00:37:00.080 --> 00:37:05.360
is start tearing this thing down. So I'm picking up a radiator.

00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:08.240
We have to be there in 20 minutes.

00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:11.280
We have to be out of the store in 23 minutes.

00:37:15.040 --> 00:37:18.160
Just the small, it's essentially, it's for a computer.

00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:25.440
Really small is good, a heater core.

00:37:29.600 --> 00:37:30.480
Probably, yeah.

00:37:33.520 --> 00:37:36.640
Something that size, would that be about the right size?

00:37:36.640 --> 00:37:40.240
Yeah, I know, that would actually be, this is perfect. Yeah, that's perfect.

00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:44.080
There you go. Okay. That's going to work for you? Yeah, that'll totally work.

00:37:44.080 --> 00:37:49.040
That's not too small, that's great. Yeah, you're going to give them that Honda Civic Radar number,

00:37:49.040 --> 00:37:52.240
but this, that's way bigger than this, so. Yeah, yeah.

00:37:52.240 --> 00:37:55.360
That's a more appropriate size than we'll do that one. I didn't even know these were a thing,

00:37:55.360 --> 00:37:59.120
but yeah, if this can take just water, then which I'm sure it can.

00:37:59.920 --> 00:38:03.280
I'll take one of these, this one, I guess? Yeah, that's fine, you can have that one.

00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:06.800
Yeah. How's 50 bucks out? Sure. Yeah.

00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:09.520
Okay. Done. Cool. That was easy.

00:38:12.560 --> 00:38:17.200
Oh man, it's great. It's, the fittings are way smaller than I expected.

00:38:17.200 --> 00:38:20.720
This will fit in the computer. This just looks like a normal computer radiator,

00:38:20.720 --> 00:38:23.440
except these things were welded on there, which could be great.

00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:25.280
Yeah, so let's go.

00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:31.120
Okay, so I got the pump. It was a little bit expensive.

00:38:31.120 --> 00:38:34.320
It was twice the price of the one that I was expecting to buy,

00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:37.680
but the radiator that I got was half the price of the radiator

00:38:37.680 --> 00:38:42.080
that I thought I was going to buy, so it's probably okay. It's actually threaded.

00:38:42.080 --> 00:38:47.200
If I open this up and look inside, it's a threaded pump.

00:38:47.200 --> 00:38:54.000
These are the threaded little knobbers that he gives me, and these are fine, but I could replace them if I really needed to.

00:38:54.640 --> 00:39:00.960
So tomorrow, when I go to Home Depot or whatever, if I really need to replace them so I can get copper on there,

00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:03.040
whatever, that's totally possible.

00:39:04.720 --> 00:39:08.560
I don't think I'm going to do that as this was expensive in itself,

00:39:08.560 --> 00:39:12.320
and the budget is starting to wane, but that's okay because I basically have everything.

00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:16.160
But yeah, expensive pump, but I think it'll be good.

00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:25.840
Beautiful morning. Birds are all like chirping and stuff.

00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:31.200
Now, I don't think I have his number.

00:39:32.240 --> 00:39:36.320
You know what? Okay, no. Maybe we'll do this in like half an hour.

00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:38.240
Let's go fill the copper pipe with sugar.

00:39:39.600 --> 00:39:41.760
Up the tree, fiddle-de-dee.

00:39:44.720 --> 00:39:48.160
Oh, okay. This is not my greatest idea ever.

00:39:49.200 --> 00:39:52.880
There's not much growing between the trees, so now I just have to decide.

00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:56.160
Well, if I'm going to fall to my death, I guess I want to fall in my own yard,

00:39:56.880 --> 00:40:00.240
so my wife doesn't have to have that awkward conversation with the neighbor.

00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:02.720
So I'm going to climb the right-hand side tree.

00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:06.560
If we were smart, we would have actually marked out

00:40:07.600 --> 00:40:10.640
on the extension cord how high I have to go.

00:40:16.160 --> 00:40:20.640
Okay, I'm trying to get the funnel out.

00:40:20.640 --> 00:40:23.760
Oh no, the funnel's not quite small enough.

00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:28.640
No, hold on. Hold on, maybe. Well, it kind of meets up perfectly.

00:40:28.640 --> 00:40:32.000
Oh no, no, I can probably make it work anyway. Yeah, I'll just spill some.

00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:35.280
It's okay, I got this. Yeah, it's not draining anymore.

00:40:36.640 --> 00:40:38.000
Okay, I can put it a little up.

00:40:40.080 --> 00:40:43.680
Oh, that sprayed sugar all over me. Oh, you know what?

00:40:43.680 --> 00:40:46.240
It's not draining at the top, but I can hear it moving.

00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:51.680
I could probably, now that I think about it, I could probably lift it up 10 feet above my head.

00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:57.120
It says we have six minutes of filming left.

00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:00.720
Okay, what about the other card?

00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:03.760
The other card in the camera? Yeah, it's full.

00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:09.200
Okay, I wish we were having this problem at a different time.

00:41:10.240 --> 00:41:16.240
Hold on, this let me, my right butt totally asleep.

00:41:16.240 --> 00:41:21.280
Okay, so here's our tuck-taped copper tube.

00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:26.720
Here's our tuck-taped copper tube here. This is where I've got the copper tube

00:41:26.720 --> 00:41:29.040
and the extension cord tied off.

00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:36.160
So basically the filling process looked a little something like this.

00:41:36.160 --> 00:41:40.800
I used to have a funnel, it fell. So this is how we know that it's full

00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:44.080
because I try to pour things and it just falls down the tree.

00:41:44.080 --> 00:41:47.440
So actually, we didn't use that much of the bag.

00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:50.800
I still got this much sugar bag full.

00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:56.080
I could have just bought one of the little boxes of salt. I just, I couldn't find the big thing of salt in the grocery store.

00:41:56.080 --> 00:42:00.640
The kids were waiting in the car. So I just went with sugar and got the crap out of there.

00:42:00.640 --> 00:42:05.120
I'm sure there's some super easy way to do this and people are just watching the train wreck.

00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:09.120
It's probably like a copper tube sand filler machine.

00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:16.000
Capping it and in theory, my copper tube is now bendable.

00:42:17.120 --> 00:42:21.280
In theory, we have not tried this. It would have been a good idea to try this

00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:23.040
before I spent an hour up a tree.

00:42:24.640 --> 00:42:28.240
All right, Taren, you might need to help me out with the lowering process here.

00:42:28.240 --> 00:42:31.600
Pull it across the yard as we go. Okay, I'm dropping the backpack.

00:42:31.600 --> 00:42:34.320
Okay. You ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:42:35.680 --> 00:42:40.240
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Ha! Almost hit the camera.

00:42:40.240 --> 00:42:44.960
Well, it moved where it was falling to.

00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:49.440
That's what I meant when I said Plinko. Do you not have Plinko in America?

00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:54.160
No. Oh, all right, grab the copper tube.

00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:17.040
Okay, we have a plan for this.

00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:21.440
So we're going to head over to the neighbor's house since it's not so early.

00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:26.000
And we are going to find out what the feasibility of our block manufacturing is.

00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:30.400
No, I'm pretty sure this car is there.

00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:44.880
Oh, am I not standing in the window? Is it John on the other side of the door?

00:43:47.520 --> 00:43:49.280
Was that you exhaling? I had to hurt someone.

00:43:54.720 --> 00:43:58.720
Okay, uh, we'll have to return later.

00:44:00.560 --> 00:44:03.520
So I just bought the reservoir for my computer,

00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:09.520
which came pre-filled, although probably just going

00:44:09.520 --> 00:44:13.600
to empty it anyways. But I'll empty it before I start building because I'll probably drink it.

00:44:14.320 --> 00:44:18.080
Next time on Scrapyard Wars, Luke's budget is drying up.

00:44:18.080 --> 00:44:21.280
Because that's all I have left. I super definitely can't afford it.

00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:26.560
And Linus' plans might be a wash. I'm not sure if we can still put a computer in here.

00:44:26.560 --> 00:44:28.720
We are headed to Andrew Sherritt again.

00:44:29.680 --> 00:44:35.040
The plan this time is to get some fittings, probably.

00:44:35.040 --> 00:44:39.200
So we can adapt her from that heater cord that I got to the copper tubing.

00:44:39.200 --> 00:44:42.560
So we can adapt her from the flexible tubing to the copper tubing.

00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:46.400
And I might pick up one of those copper caps.

00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:49.760
Again, just we don't waste a trip if I decide

00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:54.800
to water cool the office good. All right, so Andrew Sherritt went well.

00:44:55.920 --> 00:45:00.560
I'm basically out of budget for water cooling stuff.

00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:05.840
But I still need that plate. So let's go see if we can figure that out.

00:45:06.720 --> 00:45:11.760
I just did some counting. I have a lot of change because that's all I have left

00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:16.080
for water cooling budget. I have $6.20 left.

00:45:17.520 --> 00:45:20.400
I have one more thing to buy and it's a copper plate.

00:45:21.280 --> 00:45:24.800
I'm hoping they'll just give it to me because I bought half a pound

00:45:25.600 --> 00:45:29.280
and they only gave me 0.125, which is fine because that's all I needed.

00:45:29.280 --> 00:45:33.040
But so if I get a different dude this time that's like, no, you have to buy the minimum quantity,

00:45:33.040 --> 00:45:36.880
then it'll be twice that price. And then I super definitely can't afford it.

00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:43.120
It's technically a two priority. But I think I need to mod the case

00:45:44.320 --> 00:45:50.160
because if I don't do that, it's going to be very difficult for me to know

00:45:51.440 --> 00:45:55.440
how much space I have for my copper coil. You just unscrew that.

00:45:55.440 --> 00:45:57.920
You don't need to grind it off. It's riveted.

00:46:02.800 --> 00:46:06.080
Awesome. Totally work. Yeah, great.

00:46:06.080 --> 00:46:08.400
I don't know where you're going. No? Okay.

00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:10.320
You don't want all my change?

00:46:13.040 --> 00:46:14.000
Okay, awesome.

00:46:17.040 --> 00:46:22.160
I was that's actually why I brought this back in, but I was it was would have been totally fair

00:46:22.160 --> 00:46:25.440
if you didn't honor that. Yeah, I was going to say,

00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:29.120
you also are supposed to charge me a full pound. So I don't know.

00:46:29.120 --> 00:46:32.160
Awesome. Thank you very much. I'm going to get to work. Have a good day.

00:46:32.160 --> 00:46:32.640
Hey, you too.

00:46:39.360 --> 00:46:57.200
Damn, freaking batteries dying.

00:46:59.120 --> 00:47:04.160
Someone unplugged the drill battery charger thing.

00:47:04.160 --> 00:47:08.640
The battery, the spare battery wasn't fully charged. I'm in pretty bad shape.

00:47:08.640 --> 00:47:12.480
There's things that I can do, but I want to get this done right now.

00:47:15.040 --> 00:47:16.480
Oh, that's bloody impossible.

00:47:23.520 --> 00:47:27.920
It is supposed to, it might work for the tubing.

00:47:28.560 --> 00:47:32.160
I was supposed to be able to tighten it up and then pull it around and cut it,

00:47:32.160 --> 00:47:36.560
but this thing's so big compared to it that I can't rotate it while it's inside.

00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:42.320
So I have no idea how I'm supposed to do it. And because it's on a curve already,

00:47:43.680 --> 00:47:47.040
if I try to rotate it while it's inside, it's like it doesn't sit properly.

00:47:47.040 --> 00:47:49.680
And then like I can't rotate it past this angle.

00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:56.080
So I don't know, I could be doing something wrong, but I'm probably going to have to cut it with a dremel in the end anyways.

00:47:56.080 --> 00:48:00.560
And then I bought that tool for nothing. Luckily tools don't come out of the main budget,

00:48:00.560 --> 00:48:03.840
but I still feel really dumb buying that tool if it's not going to work at all.

00:48:03.840 --> 00:48:08.800
It'll work for the copper tubing,

00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:11.360
but that's just brutal.

00:48:20.800 --> 00:48:24.080
Can you go that way please, honey? You're not going to be able to take your trike

00:48:24.080 --> 00:48:27.200
through the garage. Off you go.

00:48:28.560 --> 00:48:31.920
I have to wait for mom first. No, mommy will be at the front. Go, go.

00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:34.560
Let's hope he doesn't text a drive anytime soon.

00:48:46.240 --> 00:48:47.760
Dremel tool, my ass.

00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:52.320
That, that is a rotary cutter.

00:48:53.520 --> 00:48:57.520
Okay. Well, this has clearly got absolutely no strength left

00:48:57.520 --> 00:49:01.760
after I did that. So, I don't even know how much point

00:49:01.760 --> 00:49:02.960
there is leaving it on there.

00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:11.200
Where's my ax? Thank you.

00:49:16.960 --> 00:49:20.160
Okay, no problem. Okay, here we go.

00:49:28.640 --> 00:49:38.720
Man, I love this thing.

00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:44.080
Okay, I'm sorry. Did you say steel case construction?

00:49:44.080 --> 00:49:59.440
I'm sorry. Did I say anything that sounded like I give a sh- Probably got enough room for our copper coils,

00:50:00.640 --> 00:50:06.480
but I'm not sure if we can still put a computer in here.

00:50:47.280 --> 00:50:53.840
I might drill a hole here or there, but now we've done the vast majority of the cutting

00:50:53.840 --> 00:50:57.600
that I foresee us needing to do. I ended up leaving this in.

00:50:57.600 --> 00:51:10.640
I think that should be okay. So, the plan then is reservoir here, coil all up the front of the case,

00:51:11.600 --> 00:51:16.240
then maybe if we can end here, then coil here,

00:51:17.040 --> 00:51:19.840
and coil all in front of the power supply,

00:51:20.640 --> 00:51:27.520
and then end here, and coil here something down GP.

00:51:27.520 --> 00:51:28.880
I really hope we can figure this out.

00:51:33.280 --> 00:51:34.880
Red-green would almost be proud.

00:51:37.200 --> 00:51:38.320
Yeah, that's wild most.

00:51:40.640 --> 00:51:49.600
Was that the idea?

00:51:49.600 --> 00:51:51.360
Oh yeah, I wanted this in the middle.

00:52:00.560 --> 00:52:04.880
Could you break it? Oh yeah, don't hurt.

00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:07.440
Shoot, that's terrible.

00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:13.280
Ah, two places.

00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:18.640
Okay, this is a big problem because now we need to find something

00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:26.000
pretty much exactly this size because the pump has to fit in whatever reservoir we're using.

00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:31.520
So, I had already validated those two components to work together. I really didn't think it was going to be that fragile.

00:52:31.520 --> 00:52:34.880
There was only one left. One what?

00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:37.840
One of these where I bought it. Oh no.

00:52:40.800 --> 00:52:45.600
Yeah, let's find out just how broken it is. It's possible the cracks don't go all the way through.

00:52:45.600 --> 00:52:46.640
This one's pretty deep.

00:53:06.080 --> 00:53:10.960
Huh, is it good? It's too early to say,

00:53:14.480 --> 00:53:19.280
but it's possible that we got away with one here.

00:53:20.800 --> 00:53:29.360
That came from the top and there's water here. What we're looking at is right here, and even as I put stress on it, nothing comes out.

00:53:30.240 --> 00:53:33.360
And then this one, which I thought was actually much less likely to leak,

00:53:33.360 --> 00:53:34.880
we might have gotten away with one here.

00:53:37.680 --> 00:53:53.200
So, while we were having lunch, my neighbor arrived at home.

00:53:54.000 --> 00:54:00.480
So, we are heading over there with our raw materials and our components that we need to cool.

00:54:00.480 --> 00:54:07.040
And hopefully, we will have some kind of a plan within the next, I don't know,

00:54:07.120 --> 00:54:13.280
hour or so for how we can turn this into something that fits on that.

00:54:14.240 --> 00:54:17.760
Exciting times now. Internet, this is John.

00:54:18.400 --> 00:54:19.600
John, this is the internet.

00:54:23.440 --> 00:54:26.960
You guys, you guys are going to be blown away by this garage.

00:54:26.960 --> 00:54:29.440
It makes our workshop look less awesome.

00:54:30.160 --> 00:54:34.960
John makes, okay, solar power digital scoreboards, basically.

00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:41.040
Radio control, no wires, slice of dice.

00:54:41.040 --> 00:54:44.160
Come on guys, and my buddies.

00:54:44.160 --> 00:54:49.840
So, pretty much the kind of gear he has in here is mind boggling.

00:54:49.840 --> 00:54:55.440
So, he like makes all kinds of little gadgetry like this, these coils in here,

00:54:55.440 --> 00:55:00.560
all pretty much by hand, except the tools that he has that he builds himself by hand.

00:55:00.560 --> 00:55:05.600
This is why we're here. This is a CNC machine.

00:55:06.320 --> 00:55:10.720
Oh, wow. Here's what we need to design today.

00:55:11.600 --> 00:55:16.240
These are our raw materials. And this little doodad.

00:55:16.240 --> 00:55:17.680
So, first we've got our graphics card.

00:55:19.680 --> 00:55:22.640
Pull that baby off. So, this is pretty simple.

00:55:23.520 --> 00:55:29.200
All these, nine, eleven, need to be covered by this.

00:55:29.200 --> 00:55:33.600
And we kind of kind of score it or something. Kind of a heat sinky sort of effect to it.

00:55:33.600 --> 00:55:37.040
And then we got to carve out a spot for that. And I'm just going to stick it on there.

00:55:37.040 --> 00:55:41.120
No problem. So, that's pretty easy. That's your little heat sink then.

00:55:41.120 --> 00:55:43.920
This is where things start to get more difficult.

00:55:44.720 --> 00:55:50.160
So, these two pieces combined will be our CPU water block.

00:55:51.040 --> 00:55:54.720
And they need to go right on top of the CPU.

00:55:54.720 --> 00:56:00.400
Here. And then we need some kind of a, we need a way to seal it

00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:06.160
around the outside. No problem. More modern CPU block designs tend to use micro channels

00:56:06.160 --> 00:56:09.760
or micro fins directly over where the CPU dies going to sit.

00:56:09.760 --> 00:56:12.960
But because we're not using the kind of sophisticated machinery,

00:56:13.840 --> 00:56:20.240
much tighter than that. So, on a much, much tighter scale and very, very short.

00:56:20.240 --> 00:56:23.840
But we don't have the kind of machinery that would allow us to build something like that.

00:56:23.840 --> 00:56:27.600
This can cut it pretty accurately. Oh yeah, I could do a little tiny,

00:56:27.600 --> 00:56:34.400
between this point and this point here. I could probably do 20, 25 little channels.

00:56:35.520 --> 00:56:39.680
Okay. That's not too bad. We can work on that. One thing we want to be careful of too,

00:56:39.680 --> 00:56:43.760
is we don't want the design to be too restrictive, too flow restrictive, because.

00:56:43.760 --> 00:56:48.320
You know, it'll, it'll, I see what you're saying. Yeah, we were limited in terms of our pump budget.

00:56:49.200 --> 00:56:54.080
Thanks to the constraints of this project. I gotcha. So, what we'd want to do is we would probably want to

00:56:54.880 --> 00:56:59.040
bring the whole thing down a little bit. So that it can flow freely over top if it wants.

00:56:59.040 --> 00:57:06.960
But it can also sit around in the channels. I see, I gotcha. Now as far as this goes, we'll just tap some holes in the corners.

00:57:06.960 --> 00:57:12.880
Yep. Tap and dye thing. And then we'll use silicone around the side here,

00:57:12.880 --> 00:57:18.240
and put it on here. Now, again, more advanced CPU block designs

00:57:18.240 --> 00:57:22.800
would use a rubber gasket, which is removable and replaceable.

00:57:22.800 --> 00:57:28.000
But because we don't have the time or necessarily resources

00:57:28.000 --> 00:57:31.760
to source a custom rubber gasket for our block,

00:57:32.320 --> 00:57:38.000
we're going to go with a more permanent solution, which isn't to say that a silicone seal is permanent, permanent.

00:57:38.000 --> 00:57:41.760
You could rip it apart and re-silicon it and seal it back up.

00:57:41.760 --> 00:57:46.640
It's just not quite as elegant a solution as, you know, if we were to commercially manufacture it.

00:57:46.640 --> 00:57:50.800
Back up a little bit. You, oh, you want to put in a rubber gasket now? No, I can do better than that.

00:57:50.800 --> 00:57:55.520
This could cut out our gasket for us using vinyl.

00:57:55.520 --> 00:57:58.560
Does that work? Oh yeah, for sure. For sure, for sure.

00:57:58.560 --> 00:57:59.680
Or like, for sure.

00:58:18.480 --> 00:58:21.280
Let's see if he wants to talk to us right now, or if he'd prefer to wait till later.

00:58:22.240 --> 00:58:25.360
Also, I need to give him his pen back because they stole it.

00:58:25.600 --> 00:58:28.880
If you believe about 15 minutes after you left,

00:58:28.880 --> 00:58:32.000
it broke a bit. No way.

00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:35.600
I got a spare one. Put a cheaper bit in. This one isn't as much.

00:58:37.120 --> 00:58:38.240
I'll just run it slower.

00:58:49.600 --> 00:58:52.800
Sorry this ended up being a much bigger project than

00:58:52.800 --> 00:58:55.360
a little bit. It was supposed to be.

00:58:57.360 --> 00:59:03.440
But if we reduce the scope, if we kill the graphics card, then that should help a fair bit.

00:59:03.440 --> 00:59:08.240
I hope. Sorry about this. I just want to curl up into a ball and cry.

00:59:08.240 --> 00:59:22.480
I'm going to, I'm going to do that later. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:59:22.560 --> 00:59:26.880
So Linus, how did it go today?

00:59:26.880 --> 00:59:33.120
So it's the end of day two. We have abandoned our plan to build a GPU water block.

00:59:33.920 --> 00:59:40.960
We still really don't know how to get enough copper coiled

00:59:40.960 --> 00:59:45.520
into the case to dissipate the heat from our CPU even.

00:59:45.520 --> 00:59:48.480
So it's probably a good thing the GPU block isn't happening.

00:59:49.440 --> 00:59:53.280
And we still haven't even put the holes in our reservoir

00:59:54.640 --> 00:59:59.760
and finished our CPU block. We still don't actually have a way to put our fittings

01:00:00.640 --> 01:00:06.400
into the CPU block. The good news is we can free up some budget

01:00:06.960 --> 01:00:11.920
by returning some things tomorrow. I can return GPU fittings, for example.

01:00:12.560 --> 01:00:17.600
So we need a tap for that pipe thread,

01:00:17.600 --> 01:00:19.600
which Lord only knows where we're going to find.

01:00:20.640 --> 01:00:24.080
And then, yeah, we're going to have to get at it pretty bright and early tomorrow.

01:00:25.040 --> 01:00:28.800
I started off the morning by picking up this case

01:00:29.360 --> 01:00:33.760
and a fan and a power bar.

01:00:34.480 --> 01:00:42.240
I'll explain why the power bar in a little bit. But first things first, I need to do a case swap.

01:00:43.520 --> 01:00:49.440
I didn't realize the bottom hard drive cage was riveted in. That will have to be removed, but it's fine for now.

01:00:50.240 --> 01:00:55.200
I bought this Core 3000, but it's dusty and gross as hell.

01:00:57.920 --> 01:01:00.640
None of the pictures here, I don't really show how dusty it was.

01:01:01.840 --> 01:01:04.960
But it's still a nicer overall case than the one that I had

01:01:04.960 --> 01:01:09.840
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.

01:01:09.840 --> 01:01:13.200
Honestly, if I had more time, I might not have even accepted it.

01:01:13.200 --> 01:01:17.200
Nah, I probably would have accepted it. I just would have hopefully had more time to clean it.

01:01:23.680 --> 01:01:29.440
I wonder what practical Josh will say when he sees that I mutilated his case

01:01:30.080 --> 01:01:35.120
within like minutes of having it. I'm going to say, I thought you had style, man.

01:01:35.120 --> 01:01:38.320
Stop making Linus look good. What am I going to see next for me?

01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:42.080
Socks and sandals? Just remember, buddy, karma's a bitch.

01:01:47.760 --> 01:01:51.280
I'm trying to get the pump and the radiator higher

01:01:52.800 --> 01:01:54.400
so I can clear the power supply.

01:01:56.080 --> 01:02:02.560
Just fill up your computer. You can just be like, all right, except you won't have to fill it up because the computer is going to short

01:02:02.560 --> 01:02:05.280
when you try to turn it on. So don't worry about it.

01:02:06.640 --> 01:02:10.800
You know, I don't even care anymore. As long as the loop works, screw the computer.

01:02:10.800 --> 01:02:15.200
What's going to end up happening here is I'm going to end up gluing

01:02:15.200 --> 01:02:19.680
a whole bunch of these cables unintentionally, but it's going to happen.

01:02:21.040 --> 01:02:23.440
A whole bunch of those cables are going to be glued together.

01:02:24.960 --> 01:02:29.040
Then I just have to try to use whatever is available to me to try to make it stop leaking.

01:02:29.040 --> 01:02:38.240
I have a tiny bit more epoxy, not much though. And I have one full pack of sugar and one and a quarter, possibly a bit,

01:02:38.240 --> 01:02:43.920
stuff of more sugar. The chances of this right here not leaking are like one percent.

01:02:46.480 --> 01:02:49.600
I 99% believe that it's going to leak.

01:02:50.960 --> 01:02:55.520
I mean, can you imagine if I have to present a leaky system to the judges?

01:02:55.520 --> 01:03:03.760
So we need a bigger piece of copper from the metal mart to put over top of our CPU here.

01:03:05.440 --> 01:03:08.480
Now, was that a WTF look or what?

01:03:08.480 --> 01:03:11.680
I just realized I'm holding an invoice for one of their competitors.

01:03:15.120 --> 01:03:17.280
Well, for what it's worth, the thing we have isn't going to work.

01:03:19.600 --> 01:03:26.240
No, not the stuff you made for us the other day. Yeah. I mean, basically that, but three and five eighths by three and five eighths.

01:03:28.000 --> 01:03:31.040
Okay, so we're we're hooped then.

01:03:31.040 --> 01:03:34.800
Let's go to metal market then. Where is this?

01:03:34.800 --> 01:03:38.160
Oh, it's really close. 200th Street, or 208th.

01:03:38.160 --> 01:03:41.120
It's way above, it's past the closest.

01:03:43.280 --> 01:03:47.120
All right, can nothing go right today?

01:03:47.440 --> 01:03:52.560
And now there's a freaking train.

01:03:53.680 --> 01:04:00.080
Absolutely brilliant. So we're just going to sit here and wait for a train to go through completely

01:04:00.880 --> 01:04:07.840
the center of Langley City. Everywhere we shop, people keep telling me they hope I have a great day.

01:04:10.240 --> 01:04:19.200
I'm not having a great day. Okay, this put me by every possible way of accounting for it over budget.

01:04:20.320 --> 01:04:27.920
We couldn't find the mounting hardware we need, so we're just going to cheat.

01:04:27.920 --> 01:04:31.040
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Linus is cheating.

01:04:31.040 --> 01:04:45.280
Wait a minute, why am I acting surprised? Introducing Luke LaFrenier's all new patented power panel.

01:04:46.240 --> 01:04:51.280
Equipped with a six foot cable so you can plug yourself in super far away.

01:04:52.240 --> 01:04:56.000
Yeah, your stuff that isn't going to work at all.

01:04:56.640 --> 01:04:59.600
It's going to be covered in water and metal.

01:04:59.840 --> 01:05:03.920
It's going to short itself out and then short itself out again.

01:05:06.080 --> 01:05:10.240
Want to go leak test it? Almost, almost.

01:05:10.960 --> 01:05:11.600
This works.

01:05:15.520 --> 01:05:22.320
And whatever leaked didn't actually leak much. I don't even know what it is because the cloth didn't even get wet really.

01:05:22.320 --> 01:05:25.120
We watched long enough I'm bound to do something clever eventually.

01:05:25.360 --> 01:05:29.360
Mmm, copper sugar.

01:05:38.480 --> 01:05:44.560
New plan, we're going to find a much bigger object to coil around.

01:05:44.560 --> 01:05:52.400
Maybe one of these five gallon buckets. And we are going to make an external coil that we put on the side panel here.

01:05:56.080 --> 01:06:01.280
We have no choice. I don't know if it'll fit, I don't know if it'll fit in there.

01:06:02.000 --> 01:06:06.880
What if we went right on top and we kind of like spread it out a little bit?

01:06:09.200 --> 01:06:16.400
Actually that could kind of work. All right, so John is sleeping so we're going to try and get our copper tubing inside our case.

01:06:17.680 --> 01:06:19.680
Somehow. Let's drill a hole.

01:06:20.880 --> 01:06:24.000
I'm sure someone's going to point this out. I know this is a wood hole saw.

01:06:24.560 --> 01:06:26.880
I know this is steel. I know that's a problem.

01:06:28.960 --> 01:06:30.400
Just so we're all on the same page.

01:06:38.080 --> 01:06:43.200
Okay, let's go see if John's home. Or awake. I'm going to send this video to John when we're done.

01:06:43.200 --> 01:06:46.480
And he's just going to be like, what the hell?

01:06:46.480 --> 01:06:50.720
He's going to be, he's going to be amazed that we got as far as we did without his help.

01:06:50.720 --> 01:06:58.480
Okay, so we've finished cutting out the little cutaway that we need for the caps that are next to

01:06:58.480 --> 01:07:04.000
the socket. But what we haven't done is actually finished the surface of the CPU block where it's going

01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:08.320
to make contact with the CPU. So for that we actually need to change the bit.

01:07:08.320 --> 01:07:12.960
So this is what we're using? Yeah, this little guy here, it's more for milling.

01:07:12.960 --> 01:07:16.640
That means that there's a cutting blade here and a cutting blade over here.

01:07:17.280 --> 01:07:20.160
And that goes in, takes the place of this little bit here.

01:07:20.880 --> 01:07:25.600
So it goes in like this and then I center everything and I just set it up.

01:07:25.600 --> 01:07:30.400
So the next time it goes past and here it's going to be taken about a thou off.

01:07:30.400 --> 01:07:34.320
So it'll just clean this up. It'll make it look like you got it in the store.

01:07:34.320 --> 01:07:38.800
Now the college educated among you will have probably noticed that there are some definite

01:07:38.800 --> 01:07:45.600
marks on the bottom of the block. That's actually not as important as having a flat surface because our thermal compound is

01:07:45.600 --> 01:07:50.000
going to fill these little micro scratches in the surface here.

01:07:50.080 --> 01:07:54.320
Smooth those out too. Oh, we can do that too? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good old fashioned sandpaper.

01:07:54.320 --> 01:08:03.680
Oh, like a sandpaper. None of the judges will ever see and appreciate the block manufacturing that went on.

01:08:03.680 --> 01:08:07.840
All they're going to see is this copper plate with a couple of nubbins sticking out of it.

01:08:07.840 --> 01:08:13.120
They're not going to know what's going on under the hood here.

01:08:13.120 --> 01:08:19.360
So I want the audience to at least appreciate the magnificence of our water block here.

01:08:19.360 --> 01:08:25.440
Now we could have done better if we'd done certain things and I'm aware of the things

01:08:25.440 --> 01:08:31.040
that we could have done better. Like for example, having a rubber gasket sealing this or not using mixed metals.

01:08:31.040 --> 01:08:40.000
But hey, for a homemade block that we know nothing about its performance yet, pretty darn good.

01:08:40.000 --> 01:08:44.720
Someone might be wondering how you drain this loop. The answer is you don't ever do that.

01:08:44.960 --> 01:08:52.160
It's impossible. As far as I can tell, considering everything is epoxy together, it would literally be impossible

01:08:52.160 --> 01:08:56.320
to drain the loop unless you inverted the computer and then poured it out of there.

01:08:56.320 --> 01:08:59.440
But if you're going to do that, this stuff at the bottom isn't fixed and everything's

01:08:59.440 --> 01:09:02.080
probably going to break. I'm just I'm stuck here for a while.

01:09:04.960 --> 01:09:10.320
I have to hold each side of this tightly so that water doesn't come through so that the epoxy

01:09:10.320 --> 01:09:13.520
can hopefully dry. How long does it take? How long does it take?

01:09:13.520 --> 01:09:15.040
Useable strength in eight hours.

01:09:19.200 --> 01:09:22.560
We're kind of we're kind of stuck for about 30 minutes here.

01:09:23.440 --> 01:09:28.400
So all that's left is to solder our tubing onto the CPU block,

01:09:29.520 --> 01:09:34.240
fuse the CPU block with some kind of a sealant, probably just silicone because we're

01:09:34.880 --> 01:09:37.920
not at the point where we can do anything fancy anymore.

01:09:37.920 --> 01:09:40.720
Do up our reservoir and build the computer.

01:09:42.320 --> 01:09:49.280
That's where we're at. It is now the end of the fourth day on Scrapyard Gores 2.

01:09:49.920 --> 01:09:55.360
The judges are going to have to be extremely generous for me to get anything resembling

01:09:56.320 --> 01:10:01.600
a competitive score in this competition. I'm going to give it one more coat of epoxy, but I think we're done.

01:10:04.880 --> 01:10:09.600
I think that's it. Yeah, one more coat of epoxy, but I'm basically calling it right now.

01:10:09.600 --> 01:10:11.760
I'm just going to do one more coat, but I'm finished.

01:10:12.960 --> 01:10:15.600
I'll bring it out to the garage after this and just let it sit.

01:10:17.360 --> 01:10:26.160
All right, so as you can see, it's getting dark. Taryn's gone home for the night, but John out of the graciousness of his heart

01:10:26.160 --> 01:10:31.680
is still helping me because we still have to attach the pump to the reservoir.

01:10:31.680 --> 01:10:35.200
And I think we've got a plan. It wasn't my plan.

01:10:35.760 --> 01:10:44.080
I think we've got a plan that's going to work. If she fits, she sits just like that.

01:10:44.080 --> 01:10:51.600
Nice and tight. Now we wanted a clear silicone for this, but Home Depot is a little closed at the moment,

01:10:51.600 --> 01:10:56.800
so we went with a white one. It's not as pretty, but it should seal up just nicely.

01:10:56.800 --> 01:11:02.640
We'll know in half an hour we're going to use our sealant and four screws here

01:11:03.360 --> 01:11:08.400
to close up the block that I actually had almost no hand whatsoever.

01:11:08.400 --> 01:11:14.160
And actually making silicone seal.

01:11:14.160 --> 01:11:15.600
Yep, here we go.

01:11:21.440 --> 01:11:28.080
So it's finally poor time. I have very little confidence in this seal for the power cord for the pump,

01:11:28.080 --> 01:11:33.360
but at the very least we can find out how everything else is doing.

01:11:33.360 --> 01:11:39.680
No obvious leak at the pump outlet. That's the most essential because worst case scenario,

01:11:39.680 --> 01:11:49.280
our judges aren't that water cooling savvy. So we could just try to get away with one here and just have our water level down here.

01:11:55.760 --> 01:12:02.640
Okay, so that caulk is clearly dissolving either because in half an hour it's not cured enough

01:12:02.640 --> 01:12:05.360
or because it just plain wasn't going to work for this.

01:12:06.080 --> 01:12:13.680
So I had 100% silicone in my bathroom drawer.

01:12:17.120 --> 01:12:21.840
Our pump doesn't have enough head pressure to start our loop.

01:12:21.840 --> 01:12:25.680
We might be able to tip it to make it a little bit easier on our pump.

01:12:26.320 --> 01:12:31.120
The good news is our CPU block isn't leaking yet, so that's the good news.

01:12:31.120 --> 01:12:34.160
There isn't much good news right now. That was all the good news I had.

01:12:34.960 --> 01:12:44.160
Whoa, hey, look at that. Okay, so basically what we're doing right now is cleansing the system of all the junk and debris

01:12:44.160 --> 01:12:48.240
and dissolved crap that's in there now.

01:12:49.040 --> 01:12:56.880
Then what I'm going to do is take the CPU block and the reservoir parts that are bad apart,

01:12:56.880 --> 01:13:06.880
redo them with silicone, let it set overnight, and hope that by 24 hours they mean 12 hours.

01:13:06.880 --> 01:13:12.320
For better or for worse, this computer is liquid cooled.

01:13:13.440 --> 01:13:18.720
Well, you know what, hold on, hold on. Let's go ahead and ask who you guys think is going to win.

01:13:18.720 --> 01:13:22.480
I think Luke will win Scrap Yard Wars 2 The Scrappening. He's taller.

01:13:22.480 --> 01:13:25.600
I think Luke will win. If he doesn't, we all lose.

01:13:26.240 --> 01:13:29.360
I think Luke is going to win Scrap Yard Wars. Sorry, Linus.

01:13:29.360 --> 01:13:32.560
Love you both. And myself? Rooster?

01:13:32.560 --> 01:13:36.400
Who do I think is going to win? I think Luke is going to win because just uh...

01:13:36.400 --> 01:13:39.520
I think Linus will win because he knows how to climb trees,

01:13:39.520 --> 01:13:44.960
which you know is really important for building computers after all. Welcome to Scrap Yard Wars 2 The Finale.

01:13:44.960 --> 01:13:50.400
We're doing the format a little bit differently this time because it's not as simple as,

01:13:50.400 --> 01:13:57.040
oh well, let's benchmark it and find out who wins. So we actually have a panel of four judges including Taryn Brandon

01:13:57.040 --> 01:14:02.800
and the two nicks. So one person for each of us who toiled with us through the entire endeavor

01:14:02.800 --> 01:14:08.320
and two people who have never seen the system. First section is creativity worth 10 points.

01:14:08.320 --> 01:14:13.040
Next up is effectiveness worth another 10 points. Then aesthetics 10 more points.

01:14:13.040 --> 01:14:18.080
Acoustics 10 more points. And finally overall just general category 10 points.

01:14:18.080 --> 01:14:23.040
So our total of 50. The overall is very much up to the judgment of well the judges.

01:14:23.040 --> 01:14:28.720
So if we did things like went over time, went over budget, or utilized lifelines.

01:14:28.720 --> 01:14:33.520
So if we got outside help with our project that we didn't directly pay for,

01:14:33.520 --> 01:14:37.120
then they're going to have to factor that in to our scores.

01:14:37.120 --> 01:14:40.560
I would like to point out that it was actually just for lifelines.

01:14:41.440 --> 01:14:47.120
And going over time and going over budget, we're actually like completely breaking everything, but it's okay.

01:14:47.840 --> 01:14:52.880
We'll move forward I guess. So you guys can actually come around here.

01:14:52.880 --> 01:14:56.640
We're facing the system here. First of all, I would like to welcome all the judges here today

01:14:56.640 --> 01:15:00.320
to the unveiling of the ghetto FR 3000.

01:15:00.320 --> 01:15:04.320
It's your honor to have me here. First thing that I would like to point out.

01:15:05.600 --> 01:15:10.160
First thing that I would like to point out is the patent pending easy fill technology.

01:15:12.080 --> 01:15:16.000
So as you will see in a moment, this goes into the computer and is actually the reservoir.

01:15:16.000 --> 01:15:19.520
So you can fill the computer directly or drain the computer directly just through the top.

01:15:19.520 --> 01:15:27.360
Very easy to do. Another thing in our patent pending easy technology is the, we're inspired by Tesla technology.

01:15:27.360 --> 01:15:33.280
So what we did was we introduced the power panel, not the power wall, but the power panel.

01:15:33.280 --> 01:15:37.040
So on the back of the computer here, if you guys kind of rotate around a little bit,

01:15:37.040 --> 01:15:43.520
you can see that there's a mounted power bar. And actually only one power cable actually leaves the computer.

01:15:43.520 --> 01:15:47.360
So you can plug your monitor into there. You can plug your speakers into there.

01:15:47.360 --> 01:15:54.560
All of your power can plug directly into the computer with our patent pending easy power panel.

01:15:54.560 --> 01:16:01.520
So once you open the side of the case, you actually get to the challenging parts of this field.

01:16:01.520 --> 01:16:07.200
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,

01:16:07.200 --> 01:16:10.080
high quality water bottle. Eco-friendly, actually.

01:16:11.040 --> 01:16:14.320
This is the Luke Industries? Luke Industries, yes.

01:16:17.840 --> 01:16:23.360
As you can see here, the benchmark is currently running and we're at a not too bad 55 degrees.

01:16:23.360 --> 01:16:28.240
Let's go ahead and see what the judges think. I actually discovered something quite interesting.

01:16:28.240 --> 01:16:33.840
If you want to hop on over here, I just saw this little thing leaking a little bit of water

01:16:33.840 --> 01:16:39.040
into the power supply. Oh, no. I don't know how reliable it is now.

01:16:39.040 --> 01:16:40.080
Is this a functional build?

01:16:42.560 --> 01:16:46.320
It's not. We saw that water leaking straight into the power supply, which is not good.

01:16:46.320 --> 01:16:53.920
It had to be fixed up. Honestly, how bad do we know that leak is? Okay, so aside from our bias judge, we think that the build may be functional if you fix

01:16:53.920 --> 01:16:56.240
the link, but at this point, we're not entirely sure.

01:16:57.760 --> 01:17:02.480
Ladies and gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen, you've seen the zero.

01:17:03.920 --> 01:17:12.080
Now you're going to see the hero. Welcome to the unveiling of the winner of Scrapyard Wars 2.

01:17:13.920 --> 01:17:15.360
My system is horrible.

01:17:18.800 --> 01:17:19.760
Oh, damn.

01:17:21.920 --> 01:17:23.600
Girl, that looks good.

01:17:25.600 --> 01:17:33.040
This is the Uber Cooler Magic Machine 5000.

01:17:33.680 --> 01:17:43.920
It features what I call, and this is my personal trademark, the, what do I call it?

01:17:43.920 --> 01:17:52.320
I don't remember what I call it. This is a copper coil cooling system or CCS for short.

01:17:52.320 --> 01:17:55.920
So let's start by firing up the system just to demonstrate that it does in fact work.

01:17:55.920 --> 01:18:02.720
You can see here at the front of my case, all bays are populated by

01:18:02.720 --> 01:18:05.600
either a drive or a bay cover.

01:18:06.160 --> 01:18:12.160
I also have an e-satoport for outstanding connectivity, very modern.

01:18:13.040 --> 01:18:16.240
Two USB 2.0 ports. My air intakes are here.

01:18:16.240 --> 01:18:20.480
This door folds out more than a typical door.

01:18:20.480 --> 01:18:26.400
You can see it's on two hinges so that if you accidentally bump it, it doesn't break off as easily.

01:18:26.720 --> 01:18:30.720
Quiet?

01:18:31.360 --> 01:18:39.920
I think that's a 10 out of 10 for acoustics. Not that I can tell the judges too much about how to judge the system, but that's a 10 out of 10.

01:18:40.480 --> 01:18:46.000
Now you can clearly see the copper coil is very stable.

01:18:46.560 --> 01:18:50.560
Okay, this is the moment. Everyone brace yourselves. This is a thing of beauty in here.

01:18:52.640 --> 01:18:55.040
Okay, hold on. There we go.

01:18:55.680 --> 01:19:00.480
You see that security? It doesn't lock, but it's so hard to remove, you'd think it was locked.

01:19:00.480 --> 01:19:06.640
So this, my friends, is the heart and soul of this machine.

01:19:06.640 --> 01:19:09.520
Now there is some water down here. That is old water.

01:19:10.160 --> 01:19:13.760
That is old water from this last night when this was still leaking.

01:19:14.400 --> 01:19:17.680
Now I have to confess, I did go a little bit over time.

01:19:17.680 --> 01:19:20.000
Probably about 18 to 20 hours over time.

01:19:20.960 --> 01:19:24.960
Now we've gone with the what I call a camel top system,

01:19:25.760 --> 01:19:30.000
where the cooling hump is located on top of the system.

01:19:30.000 --> 01:19:36.160
Instead of using fittings, soldered or brazed to the ends of our copper,

01:19:36.160 --> 01:19:42.400
we have actually just zip tied tubing directly onto our copper pipe.

01:19:44.080 --> 01:19:49.920
Actually, it seems to be working okay surprisingly. Another innovative cost saving measure, and I'm saving this one,

01:19:50.800 --> 01:19:56.400
is the fact that the CPU block is using sawed off pieces of this tubing,

01:19:57.280 --> 01:20:06.240
soldered to the copper top of our fully custom CNC cut water block as fittings.

01:20:06.240 --> 01:20:12.720
So we brought our budget by returning about $40 worth of fittings that we had already

01:20:12.720 --> 01:20:20.000
purchased by returning it. We brought our total spent on the water cooling down to $198.

01:20:22.400 --> 01:20:31.120
Just shy of the $200 mark. For our system, we paid $280, and I bought some Ninjago Ninjas that I was planning to put in it,

01:20:31.120 --> 01:20:33.840
but they weren't very posable, and I forgot.

01:20:34.800 --> 01:20:38.080
If you want to come over here, judges, and have a look at where we're sitting,

01:20:38.080 --> 01:20:41.120
we've been under load for about seven minutes while I've been talking,

01:20:41.200 --> 01:20:45.280
and we're sitting at around 87 degrees on the CPU,

01:20:45.280 --> 01:20:48.640
which gets us fully turboed up on our Core i7 930,

01:20:48.640 --> 01:20:52.080
which is a very high heat output CPU, by the way.

01:20:52.720 --> 01:20:57.040
Full performance, not the lowest temperatures, but incredibly quiet,

01:20:59.200 --> 01:21:02.480
with the CPU actually being passively cooled by the copper loop,

01:21:02.480 --> 01:21:07.520
but wait, there's more. If you had a little bit more money to spend than we did,

01:21:07.520 --> 01:21:11.200
you could get yourself a room fan, oscillating room fan right there,

01:21:12.160 --> 01:21:16.080
cools the coil, cools you, cools the coil, cools you.

01:21:16.080 --> 01:21:19.680
Hot summer day, computer's good, you're good, everyone's good,

01:21:19.680 --> 01:21:23.120
and that is my presentation. Thank you, judges.

01:21:23.120 --> 01:21:27.760
I think it's about time the judges pick a winner and pick a sore loser.

01:21:27.760 --> 01:21:31.680
For Luke's system, 138 points.

01:21:32.240 --> 01:21:35.760
The possible total scoring for Linus's system out of 200,

01:21:36.000 --> 01:21:41.120
100, 100, 30, 1.

01:21:41.120 --> 01:21:44.160
Yes. I can't believe you got that close to me.

01:21:44.160 --> 01:21:50.000
That's actually ridiculous. Guys, a lifeline, almost a whole day of extra time.

01:21:50.000 --> 01:21:53.120
Yours will live. Thanks for watching ScrapYard Wars 2.

01:21:53.840 --> 01:21:59.680
We will definitely be back with more ScrapYard Wars. The scrappitying. Like and subscribe, like and subscribe.

01:21:59.680 --> 01:22:05.440
Like and scrap button. And we could have a special celebrity guest on the next episode of ScrapYard.

01:22:05.440 --> 01:22:09.680
A very hard nipple celebrity guest. See you next time.

01:22:09.680 --> 01:22:11.840
Bye.
