This is going to be the biggest. Scrap your words!
Ever. See, normally we build a PC, but this time we build a PC
and we transform a completely empty room
into an epic gaming, movie-watching paradise.
Our budget, $1,400.
That's gonna be easy, that's a lot of money. Well, it sounds like a lot of money
until you realize that our judges will be evaluating more
than just how many FPS we get. They're gonna be looking at the gaming experience,
the movie experience, and yes, even the vibes.
Meaning, if we fall short in any key area,
display, acoustics, or even decor, that's the GG.
Although the scope is bigger than ever, the rules are mostly the same.
No using our influence or connections for deals. We're only allowed to message and pick up items
during the agreed upon hours and we can only use parts and peripherals
that we buy using our budget. Let's check out these rooms.
This really isn't much to work with, is it? No, it's very small.
And for decor, we've got two power outlets
and an Ethernet jack. Speaking of decor, it sounds like junk.
This is a lot of work to do. How are we supposed to get everything done in time?
With a little help from some old friends.
Each of you will get to draft three teammates and be very careful because anyone who doesn't get picked
will be a judge for the final showdown and some of these people look like they could hold a grudge.
We're gonna flip a coin to see who goes first. You call it, heads.
Oh, oh. It's a segue to our sponsor.
Mm.
How does the draft work? Is it him, me, me, him, him, me?
No, we're gonna do back forth. It's fine.
I personally think they are all extremely good candidates.
So I wouldn't have been concerned about not getting two picks in a row.
That's why I said it was fine. I'll do Dan Besser.
Wow, no favoritism at all. Just the only guy you talked to for four hours a week.
You're cooked.
Let's go, Sebastian and Sebastian. Oh.
Justin. Can we get more rationale as we go here?
I need people that know what they're doing because my amount of knowledge on home theater stuff
is questionable. Okay, I'll take pan crats.
Sammy. Final pick.
I want whoever looks meaner.
Oh, Sedan was doing great and then she broke. One of them is smiling.
Neither of you looks mean at all. Okay, I'll take Natalie.
That means these three will be our judges at the end of the week.
Thank you so much for your participation now. Now go work. Since Linus didn't pick me last,
he's getting docked to point immediately. I'm very happy with how the ranking order went.
This is the exact crew that I wanted. Dan is gonna be focusing on home theater man.
He has a home theater setup at home, has worked on home theater stuff for the company before.
Fantastic. Fabrication makes stuff very helpful.
The budget is low. So if we can get some like kind of scrap materials,
we can get some broken things, put them together, make them work. We're gonna save a ton of money and Vibe Commander.
There is actually a very significant portion of the scoring going towards Vibe, how it feels.
You were very good at that last Gap Yard Wars. So no more gamer goop. Yeah, we might have a gamer goop problem
outside of Vibe Commander. Why did you point at me?
Now all we need is a plan. The plan is that Scrap Yard Wars
is gonna be coming out early at LMG.gg slash flow plane 48 hours early per episode
and we're gonna have all kinds of extras. So don't miss it there. Now we need a plan to turn that room into.
Something awesome. A full room. A full room. Yes.
Thanks. Okay. You're my ace up the sleeve when it comes to fabrication.
You're the PC guy that I can rely on to fill in any gaps
and just do stuff when I'm not looking. That was a bit of an issue last Scrap Yard Wars for me,
is I had to do anything to do with the tech. And Natalie, I saw your bike
and I figured you could help with aesthetics. Slash also just like numbers.
Okay. Budgeting, PC, fabrication, leadership.
Vision. Vision. Now we'll see where Sammy's loyalties really lie.
Once we were teammate, Sammy, now we're bitter rivals.
Sammy Wong, more like Sammy Rong. Sammy Won, because I'm winning again.
And go. First things first,
we need to have a quick strategy meeting here. Not a ton to work with.
It's actually a pretty small space. I feel like I'm in a prison.
How much can we hear them? Yeah, we can hear them a bit.
Okay, so we're gonna cut a hole in the wall. We're feeling a full of expanding foam.
In a nutshell, by the end of the competition, we're gonna have to have a working PC, a working display,
an audio solution that works for games and movies and peripherals that work for the above.
We have to watch three movies and play three games
and it is strongly suggested that we add some decor, which
we'll start with that. Yeah, that's a problem. Again, the walls are boring as we were discussing outside.
We need something for people to sit on. Part of the judging was based around
like how inviting is it to guess? So it probably shouldn't be one chair, for example.
It might be a decent idea to put carpet because it might help with the sound treatment. We do get access to some tools,
including a 3D printer, but we won't get any cables or adapters, hardware
or even accounts to access those games and movies.
We have to obtain them. Here's the breakdown of how the scoring will work.
The decor, aesthetics, comfort, is it inviting, all that kind of stuff,
is a third of the score. The movie experience, so the display quality,
audio quality, playback quality, et cetera, is a third of the experience.
And then the gaming experience is a third of the experience.
We are allowed to use subscriptions to access the games or movies,
but the cost of the subscription goes against us, but only for what we pay.
So if we can find free trials. Oh yeah. First thing I'm gonna do is go measure the room
and we'll do a model. Pretty sure Linus noticed it as well, is that technically,
they're not running general benchmarks on the computer.
The only benchmarks that they're running is the three games
and the ability to play back the movies. If we wanted to get weird,
we could get a crap computer in like GeForce Now. Nothing here says that we have to play
even on a local PC. If we could stream these games, that's an option.
Does it say to monitor or does it just mean display? We need to run benchmarks though.
We do need to run benchmarks, but I think that if it was a console,
we would just make the argument that it is 60 FPS.
If it runs at that. If it runs at that. It looks like the games is Cyberpunk 2077,
Returnal, Red Dead Redemption 2. Ooh, I don't think half of those are on cloud streaming.
Yeah. The movies, which we also have to be able to play,
is Lord of the Rings Return of the King, either the theatrical or extended cut.
The Dark Knight and Adventure Time Season 4, Episode 25.
What's our general vision, right? Like, do you want to stick to just TV?
That's my job. Yeah, vision.
I mean, I'm open. If we find a really nice TV,
I think you could make the argument that in a space like this, that's probably the route that you should go.
I think we're gonna be kind of screwed on the streaming services
because Returnal is not available on any streaming service.
Just buy Returnal and do a streaming service everywhere else. Yeah, but then we would...
Then we still need hardware. We were trying to get away from the performance side of things.
It's like, I've never heard of these services. Shadow is a thing.
Shadow is a rentable gaming PC in the cloud.
You set it up like a VM. Gotcha. So you could install your own stuff from there.
So we wouldn't be able to have a subscription that gives us Returnal,
but this could still give us a PC. That still could be an option. So we could get a computer for 50 bucks.
We would still need something that could access it. We could get that for real cheap.
Well, apparently you can use just about anything. Including like Apple TV or something.
Already finding some interesting stuff. There's a $550, 55 inch OLED in Abbisfur.
We could literally go get that today. It seems to be the cheapest OLED on marketplace
that isn't over in Victoria. With that said,
a bigger screen can add to immersion more than a higher quality picture,
depending on the setup. So I do want to kind of see what we could get for around that price
for just a really big TV. What size was that one?
55. 55. Okay, but hear me out.
85 inch TV for 600 bucks.
Measure it out. What does that look like? 85 is this.
Holy crap. So that would be pretty safe. 600 CAD.
I would do it. I don't want to take the first thing we find, but also, you know,
I don't want to be afraid to find a deal and lock it down.
I'm more afraid they will take it too. Oh yeah, I want to buy something today.
Whose Facebook are we using again? We can use mine. So for video streaming,
it looks like we'll just need Hulu and Netflix or Prime.
Hulu has Laura the Rings and Adventure Time
and then the Dark Knights on everything else but Hulu. $100 and L-shaped sofa can sectional.
It's gray, so gamer group won't show.
And it's only been used for one year and it's pickup and surrey.
Price is open to offers. I'd message them, just get it going.
I'm trying to see if we can free up a very significant amount of budget
for making the room cool. Using Shadow, like their systems are pretty beefy.
What's that $50 a month one? So you get RTX A4500 20 Gigabyte card,
eight cores of an AMD Epic, 28 gigs of RAM. Wow.
So it's like roughly equivalent to 3070 TI. I feel like that's not a bad option, honestly.
Theoretically, if we get a projector,
yeah, I think a projector is a good one. I would love a short throw projector
that like almost entirely fills that wall. Yeah. If we go this Shadow route too,
we might end up actually having like quite a bit of money for stuff like the couches and whatnot.
I'm just rolling up a quick model of the room and throw a couch there.
Maybe put it up against the wall. No, we kind of want rear tower speakers, something like that.
Or even just like side tables with fun things on them or whatever. Yeah, that would probably work.
Sir David. Yes. Question, can we use something like Shadow?
Shadow is a service you have to pay for in the cloud. Oh yeah, that's fine. One of the rules is you have to have a working PC.
But what defines a PC? Like as a Raspberry Pi, a PC.
Techniques. So we're doing, that basically means we're doing Shadow.
Okay. Like for sure. Here, let's split up. I'm going to keep looking for potential projectors.
We do a 10 foot wall that will be 139 inch screen.
We're going to need resolution that's like decent. If we play like Lord of the Rings
and it's a hundred and whatever inches, but each pixel is the size of my fist,
then it's going to suck. Absolutely. I want to commit now, big TV.
So that, what was it, 85? I don't know about that particular one,
but that's 600 bucks. That leaves us 1400 Canadian dollars to work with.
Wait, Sebastian, they changed the description. They changed it from 85 to 75.
Also, it was listed two hours ago. So this might be one of those deals
where like you can just grab it right away. 75 is still pretty good for Cyberpunk Returnal and RDR2.
These are all games I can play from the couch. Oh yeah, they're not competitive.
So with that in mind, I think we should try and snag the best TV we can find
and then build everything around that. Okay, I'm crossing out that OLED.
A, because I think it's too small and B, because it has burn in.
The 55. Yeah, wait. High-sense 85 inch TV, $180.
Can we get to Nanaimo on that today? 180? Nanaimo?
Yeah, I think we can. I think we can. Wait, does the ferry cost have to go in our budget?
I don't know. The travel is not part of it. No. Okay, okay, okay.
I think two of us should get in a car now
and go to Nanaimo. That's crazy. Do we need the truck?
I have my mini van. Also, if we took the truck, they wouldn't have the truck today.
So, strategic denial. You don't have a van, what do you mean? You don't have a van?
What van? What van, exactly. I don't know what you're talking about. Do we need to make sure things work on Marketplace?
Like, if we go to Nanaimo and that TV doesn't work, like, what are you gonna do?
I mean, they've got a picture of it working. Okay, because we trust that, right?
We do need to think about the PC slash console.
All of those games are console games, right? Like, we could potentially just get like a PS5.
What's a PS5 Pro go for? How do you run movies on a PS5? PS5 Pros are pretty expensive.
Holy s***, Xbox Series X's are like nothing.
How many of those games are on Game Pass? Oh. Dude, we could finish our whole setup for like 500 bucks
and then just bribe every judge with $500. What's with all these free PS5 scams?
They all use the same picture. Okay, so 85 inch TV person.
We wanna know what the actual model is real quick and then we wanna get in the car.
Like, how long does it take to get to Nanaimo?
Like an hour and a half ferry? Yeah, it's not too bad. But realistically, the first day,
we're gonna do a ton of just like messaging people and stuff anyway.
So you can just do that on the ferry anyway. Totally. Okay, it's gonna take about three hours to get to Nanaimo.
So it will be an all day endeavor to go to Nanaimo and back if we leave now.
So we gotta hear from this guy. We gotta know if we can pick it up right now. Oh, oh, oh.
It wouldn't even ask, just tell him we're coming right after all.
Does the PS5 play Blue Rays? Yes, it does. I think we can get a PS5
for like a couple hundred bucks potentially. I feel like they're gonna show up to play
in terms of the performance of their PC though.
Oh. I'm doing subscription service for the computer, but I don't really wanna do subscription service
for the videos because the streaming quality is so low.
Yeah, you definitely get higher quality on Blue Ray for sure. Well, I'm thinking about the audio transit layer
because if we wanna do a multi-channel system
and play something out of VLC, you know, VLC can do the bit stream stuff.
Okay, so then that leaves the PIA out as the computer for an option then.
It doesn't have to be a pie. You would have to pay for Windows
if you want to activate it, but you don't have to buy it from Microsoft. But remember, there's a subjective part of it.
So like, if I'm watching a movie and there's a little activate Windows, that's not helping my subjective experience
of watching this movie. We can get rid of that prompt. We sure can.
And the only thing that is explicit for piracy is you can't pirate the games.
Yay, crimes. Technically, I already own them,
so it's not stealing at all. How do we feel about a mini computer?
Look up, like if there's any benefits to a slightly better computer for running Shadow.
If we're going the Shadow road, I want to make sure we're doing it well. Good internet is the main thing.
The main thing, yeah. So if you spend 50 bucks on the computer, 50 bucks on Shadow, we're done.
We need to get the three games. I'm sure we can find services for at least two of them,
maybe buy the third, whatever. Let's say that's like another 70 bucks, I don't know,
or 170 bucks in, that's the computer and all the games we can pirate the movies.
So we have all of the software and the computer and everything.
Then we have $1800 to get projector,
sound, couch, cables, vibe. It honestly should be fine.
I'm sure Linus is trying to freak out about getting some super cool computer
and I'm just gonna rent one. Are we committing to the console idea or are we?
No, not at all. Actually, you know what? How about I hunt consoles, you hunt PC stuff.
Sure. And then we can leave them on kind of whatever it is they're doing.
Sure. That was a cup holder. This one too.
I think cup holders are kind of fun, especially if we're doing movie. Movie experience, yeah.
I would definitely prefer one with a pull-out. This one's pretty nice. 22 hours.
We don't want to pay for a couch. If we can get a free couch, we should.
We have so much budget though. I can keep looking because a free couch is nice.
How much are we looking to spend on PC stuff? Well, it depends on that TV.
I found something that's sort of interesting. It's 550 bucks right now is what it's listed for,
but it's got a 2070 Super in it and it's got an engineering sample, I7-12700.
Base clock of one gigahertz. That's a mobile chip if it's an H, isn't it?
Yeah. If we could find a CPU motherboard combo though.
Yeah. This is potentially a good starting point. Do you guys want to go to the ferry
and then we can figure out other stuff? Loba?
I mean, is that crazy? Have they responded first? I mean, we could always get-
Yeah, that's true. Have they responded first? Not yet. Yeah.
All we need to know is if it's locked yet. Facebook Marketplace seems to have a lot of spammers
and scammers depending on what you're looking for. Like console men, it just seems to be all scams.
Should I just message some of these ones with really low prices and just be like,
hey, can I pick this up right now? No, I'm not sending you an EFT.
Like, I don't know. I don't know if I showed you this. I was legitimately considering this.
A lot of budget. It's literally half the budget. Furniture basically gonna be free.
Let's say we had 300 bucks for furniture.
The movie experience and the atmosphere together
is two thirds of the score. Okay, so we want it to be-
Spend it on the projector. We want it exactly. That's what I'm kind of thinking. And if you walk in and the projector's like
playing and it looks sick. Yeah. Like the atmosphere goes up.
There's some nice mood lighting. We should do a field trip to the like Bell's office.
Yeah. Pinterest, IRL. We are evaluating your space.
Yeah, so that kind of like warmth, I think would be really good. I like that.
Yeah. He also has plants, which means he knows what he's doing.
Absolutely. We should probably get a plant. I like the stack of Pucari Sweat.
I don't think we can recreate that, but I like it. Little lights on the wall is nice.
Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it. So far, the plan is to obtain this 85 inch TV for $180
and then build around that because that gives us literally $1800 Canadian dollars
for like furniture and a gaming PC or a console.
Oh, I guess we need audio as well. But I think it's gonna come down to vibes.
I mean, if I could get an Xbox series app for like 300 bucks,
like that seems pretty solid, right? Returnal is one of the games, right?
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Oh, you can't do it on an Xbox. Oh.
It's on PS5 though. Oh, ball sack and PC. Okay, well that's good to know.
This couch, I know you didn't want to pay, but $10 is...
Whoa, that's sick. If this is available, and $10?
Because sometimes people put a low price on it just to make sure you show up.
No, they said free home delivery. Wow. For $10?
No, that's gotta be a $10 delivery fee. Free home delivery.
You can always message. Yeah. Is this available? Because it definitely looks fake.
What was the GPU in that system? It was a 2070.
Okay, I think we can do better than 2070 for this budget. I think we're thinking almost too scrappy right now.
I found a CPU motherboard combo Intel 10th Gen i5.
So it's six cores, 12 threads. The combo is 300 bucks.
Might be able to drop them down to like 225 or 250.
Can buy a 3090 for a grand. Hi, sense guy.
What? Yes, are you interested? Yes, I'm interested.
Let's go boys. I'm gonna take $200 because that's all I need.
I should take a little more than $200. Just in case we find some other stuff
that we want to pick up. Because if you're on the island and we see something, then we can...
There's definitely better Facebook marketplace deals on the island.
So that's something that we should make a key part of our strategy then.
Okay, so I think we are more than likely gonna be stuck buying the games.
There is cheaper places to get keys for the games.
That we could look at as well too, so. We should absolutely do that.
We could get a 3D projector. Yes, I've seen a few of those.
But I think that was a gimmick. Yeah, it's probably like a bad idea.
I'm documenting anyways. Can I take a ferry to Sandwich?
If it's worth it, we can do it. There's a short throw projector,
which would be good for our short distance. We like it.
We can go pick it up. Luke. Yeah. That TK850 looks great.
At 10 foot back, we'll be able to do an 8 foot 10 inch screen.
Manufacturer says it's gonna be 233 nits.
Times that by 3.426. It's 800 lumen.
It's gonna be fucking bright. It's about it.
Do you wanna message them an offer? Yes, oh my God. I have a limit of messaging.
Thinks I'm a bot. I'm a real human. It might be worthwhile to go to this place
called Keep It Green out in Port Coquitlam. So what they do is all the stuff
that's left over from movie sets, and they're not allowed to legally throw it out.
They have to recycle it. So it ends up there, and you can either get stuff really cheap
or next enough or free. I've heard of that. Yeah.
Should we just go, like now? Yeah. They close at 3 p.m. so if you wanna go.
Can you read while someone else drives? Yes.
Can someone else message this before we forget? It's listed at 900.
800. Like it offer 800. Oh, it comes with a 100 inch screen.
We should take the screen just in case we run out of budget for the gray paint.
Yes. I don't know anything about sound.
Fine shit, send it to me. For acoustic panels,
I assume we're gonna do some acoustic treatment. Sebastian will probably do what we did in the server room.
Okay. With that cheap board from the Home Depot or Ronan.
Yep, and then just stick some stuff on it. If we do that, we can do less cleaning. He is back from work at 3 p.m.
So after 3 p.m. works for him. Then let's go now, boys.
And do we have the model yet? No, we don't.
Wait. He has to check until he is back home from work.
What? So we need to commit and then hope that it's good.
Oh, fuck. What does that prevent you from doing?
It prevents me from getting anything else today. Yeah, it's just a waste of time. But I guess you guys are on the main lens.
So you guys could pick up anything over here if we find a killer deal.
Yeah, and we can still keep looking for your island deals. And worst case scenario, if our TV kind of sucks,
I think we just try to make up for it in sound and we get like a sick little gaming station
and we put it in this corner or something. Yeah. If you guys find any furniture that you like,
but you don't love the color. Oh, we can spray. I have like air sprayer.
So we could do like a really nice finish on a piece of furniture potentially.
Getting the material for it though, we'll have to pay for it. Yeah.
Okay, all right, let's go team. If you have tools at home that have been used in LMG videos,
those are eligible too. Oh, sick, okay. So why is his entire house in garage?
Oh, wait, how are we gonna transport this thing? Got the truck keys.
Oh, you snagged it? Yeah. Dude, they have no truck today. Nope, I got it for the rest of the day.
Well, that's what happens, I guess. The snooze you lose. Did you find out what the model?
I didn't find the model, but he was able to confirm it's 4K. He's asking if we can commit
and he'll pull the ad down for us. Hail Mary.
Let's go for it. Let's do it. Okay, I'll let him know.
I can't believe it. This is the earliest I think I've ever committed anything
in Scrapyard Wars. They're asking, okay, can you do a small deposit?
I pulled down ad right now, the rest will be up on cash.
That's a... A little sus.
That's a little sus. Do you want the good news first or the bad news?
Bad news. Okay, the bad news is the first sailing
that has room for vehicles is at 4pm. Ooh.
Do you want the good news? What's the good news? Ah, we have a full tank of gas. Nice.
So we're going to have to figure out how to transport it back over the ferry by hand.
Look at his face. This is far from the sketchiest thing we've ever done in Scrapyard Wars.
Don't worry. How are things on your side? He'd like a $30 deposit for us to claim it.
And it could be better for you if you do it now.
So I'm wondering if the other team is messaging them. Do we have an address for this guy?
Yeah, I do have an address. Okay, so this isn't just a scam, hopefully?
Yeah, the address is... Do it.
We'll just eat the $30 if we get scammed. Okay, so he is four kilometers from the Nanaimo terminal.
That's fine. Transportation doesn't count. We can Uber it. So as long as we can carry it over the boat,
I mean, that can't be the weirdest thing they've ever seen anyone carry over the ferry, so...
This is kind of the weirdest first day of Scrapyard Wars, though.
This is wild. In the meantime, do you want to keep shopping for PC stuff?
How are you for motion sickness? I'm generally pretty good for motion sickness.
Okay, we can always trade off. Do you need a truck? Maybe.
Yeah. For what? We don't know yet, but this Keep It Green Place usually has all sorts of stuff.
Like I've seen couches full on sets there, like all sorts of stuff.
They took it already? Bastards. Do we know how long they're going to be with the truck?
Who knows? They're going to be a long time with the truck. What if somebody else at the company
has an SUV we can take? I have a SUV at home, and my home's like 10-minute away.
But you're a cameraman. I'm not driving. Yeah, he'd go with you.
Okay. What is the statement? It has about half its bulb light left.
They get dimmer over time. Do you respond? We got it. Okay.
800 bucks. Tell them that we're on the way now. We've just got something to pick up,
but we're on the way. Many, please.
Thank you, sir. I have another one for fun. Thank you.
I'm really happy that we got that projector.
My new focus is going to be home theater equipment.
I kind of want it to be basically hidden away or big box speakers.
Very in your face. Yeah. I think it's one or the other.
I think it'll really depend on what we do with the couch.
I think the couch is kind of a centerpiece.
We have at least a $200 budget for couches. We don't have to get something completely junk.
We could probably swing more than that. We just need to get some more ideas
of where we're going to land on pricing on things. Okay. You know what we could also potentially pick up
on the Island Pankrats? Is an audio system.
But if anyone is selling really nice audio equipment over on the Island,
they're probably going to really struggle to move it compared to here on the mainland.
So if there's something, that would be a stellar place to pick it up.
We're going to be going to Andy's to get his car.
Justin is currently stealing all of the tools from the shop and all the batteries.
So that Seb can't use them. We got to win, right?
Would you just like bar the shop somehow? Oh, what I could do is I could remove Seb
from his ability to enter the shop. Like I could bar him from one of the five.
I don't know if we can use, we can ask, that's something I feel like we have to ask David.
What are they going to figure out that it was me? And no, come on. It was an oopsies.
One thing I noticed is that the bulb, it looks very dingy, looks kind of scary.
That bulb needs to go. Yeah. Either we get a like a lamp shade or something for it.
I don't know how fixtures work or we get at least by like a Phillips Hue bulb.
I think we have the budget for that. We got to do something with it.
Yeah. Totally agree. We're here now at Keep It Green.
So let's try and get some garbage furniture.
This could sit three people, right? That's not bad at all.
That one looks not great, but the- It's got a bit of wear and tear.
I could put some Sharpie on that. Oh, we can kind of hide that a bit. You know, I'll put a nice throw blanket on top.
There are better couches online. The navy one, it looks a little dated though.
Definitely. Yeah. And I think it's just hideous. The black one is great though.
I know, that's hideous. Yeah. I really like the black one.
We're not getting a couch today. No, we're not getting a couch, okay. That's fine.
Do you have any rugs or?
Throw pillows, blankets.
We might check upstairs. There might be something good upstairs. Yeah.
Oh, so we got a bunch of lamps and stuff out here. Okay, but these look pretty old-timey.
Are there any floor lamps? Oh, we got some, we got some, uh,
plantage up here. Oh, these are really short.
Oh, what is that? It is a giant peanut.
Yeah. Okay. How's that for a vibe? Oh God, that's not our vibe though,
but that is a vibe. Yeah, I don't think any of this is up our alley.
All right, onto the projector. I think so. It sucks a little bit that we don't have
like our centerpiece couch, because I kind of want to design like a room around that,
but it's okay. It'll work.
Yeah. Brand new sofas haven't been used, want them gone because we like,
we bought another sofa that we liked more. This girl looks very aesthetically inclined.
Either it's a scam or bedbugs. Yeah, as long as bedbugs don't actively crawl
on the judges, we're fine. Currently offering 50 bucks on a Lenovo business
desktop think center, small form factor with an i5-4570.
I said, you listed it for a dollar, how much do you actually want? He said, 70.
I said, eh, I could probably do 50. He said, I'll do 60 deal.
I said, pretty hard on 50. Can you do that? He said, 55.
And I said, I have $50. And he said, fine.
50 bucks for the whole computer,
paired with 50 bucks for a shadow, $100 for the entire computer.
Seems pretty good to me. i5-4750, 16 gigs around, 256 gig SSD,
has Windows 11 on it. I think that should be fine, just as like a thin client for connecting to our VM.
Sure. Yeah, that should be fine. They see my out. It's got two display ports,
so we would have to get an adapter, but I don't think that's a big deal. Depends on what we're doing for audio though.
The computer does have line out, which I mean, it's not ideal, but it's something.
I want a 7.1 bit stream. Okay, I guess I'll message Luke back here.
So Dan expressed some concern with the computer because it's only DisplayPort out.
He's unsure about the audio. My brain was just like, get an adapter,
but I guess there are actually some issues there. So I'm yet again on the computer hunt.
Oh, hey, we're here for the projector.
Hey. Yeah. Kind of fun to get a 3D one.
That was the most fun I had with it. Yeah. I went through literally the back catalog,
any 3D movies that were particularly known to be good.
Does it have moving and adjustment or anything like that? Oh yeah.
Focus, and we've got the zoom.
And you said that there was a ceiling mount or something?
Can't remember. No, there's no ceiling mount. Okay, okay.
Nobody? A problem at all. So if we have a look at our ability to ceiling mount it,
and four, you'd be okay with this? Oh yeah.
Yeah, this will be easy to sort of, I'm not too worried about it. Oh, my god. Excellent.
It's annoying, I did have a ceiling mount, but I couldn't find it. Well, we're probably just gonna screw it
or duct tape it to the ceiling anyway. Let's see what Luke says about input latency.
83 milliseconds is probably fine. That should be fine.
Yeah. Cool, yeah. Happy? Yeah.
I think we said 800? Yeah, that's fine. Nice. No ceiling mount?
Did he lie? I don't like that there's no ceiling mount. I thought the listing said ceiling mount.
Are they bad hagglers?
Unless there was the listing, did the listing have one? Have a ceiling mount as well if you want.
The listing has it. They picked it up,
said that they didn't have a ceiling mount and they didn't get any discount at all.
He did 100 off already and he signed the film release.
That's not okay, that's... Film releases don't give us more decor.
This guy's getting weirder and weirder though.
He gave me an email address, so I sent the e-transfer over
with a security question of what brand is the TV.
Yeah. That should be really obvious. Hisense TV.
And then he said, please let me know the answer once you're done.
I said, yep, should be there. Should be easy from the question, just a manufacturer name.
And then he said, could you please share the security answer
for easy confirmation with two check marks? And what's the answer?
I'll pull the ad down now. What's the security answer?
We seal the deal away, the rest will be upon cash.
Are we just getting ripped off of $30 here? I don't know.
I mean, I tried to look at the guy's profile and it's locked, so I can't see anything more than that.
Ugh.
Yeah, it smells bad, doesn't it? Yeah. The weird thing is the two check marks
behind a bunch of the messages. That just seems very strange
that someone would communicate that way.
This is a huge gamble. It is a gamble.
I'm not gonna lie. We're in rough shape over here. It's hard to find stuff.
Oh man, you guys are killing me. We're starting to chew through budget pretty quick here.
This is not as much money as it felt like. It's a one day seven hour print.
It is a risk. I might torpedo the entire team with this.
How does it take a day if you want fast, but it might break and this will be on you, Dan.
