we're going to build a budget PC and then we're going to water cool it we're
going to have a full budget of $500 $300
for our computer and a maximum of $200
for the water cooling parts but there's a Twist we cannot use any off-the-shelf
PC water cooling gear NADA yeah
scrapyard Wars scrapyard Wars 2 the
scrapping on this all depends
so let's keep it safe so nice guys at the Metal Mart they
actually looked us up in between uh the
first time we were there and the second time and they said to us uh you guys
aren't just some too bit guy in a camera
you guys uh you guys have got a lot of subscribers on that their YouTube and uh
they actually offered us a discount on the metal but because I'm an honest
competitor who never cheats I didn't accept it and but we're going to we're
going to mention the Metal Mart anyway just because they they seem to be pretty
pretty good guys they let us film in the store they uh have lots of metal it's
everything I know about them so this is interesting Luke's back and he's parked
in an unusual place I think he might be
uh leaving some space to work in the
garage so I wonder what he's up to back there so I was uh trying to
I was yelling I was saying so I guess you guys are probably in the garage but
uh I think that's my answer doesn't say anything about my camera person staying
out and showing me the footage later
I think my decision making here is going to come down to uh measure never cut a
whole bunch of times um which I guess
falls under the do as we say not as we do mentality
because I would always say measure twice cut once but I'm not going to go as bad
as Linus and like counterweight this motherboard with the Titan X and A 780
Ti so you don't have to worry about that um I'm going to do shallow Cuts so I'm
going to cut not nearly as far as I need to um and just try to kind of keep on
creeping it a little bit
closer for tubing I don't know whether
or not I want to use this copper tubing
for the whole thing or not
um it's probably possible
but I don't know because I I have no idea what I'm going to end up with in
terms of radiator or pump so I don't really want
to dedicate myself to
anything never works right so we're at my house now because Luke took over the
garage at the uh at the office and it's
time to do some test fit stuff with our uh with our scrapyard PC so all right
this is my uh this is what I practice my knife throwing and this is where I'll be
finding out if my plans to bend the
copper are even even remotely have any basis in
reality so
um what I wanted to do was actually use
the Bender from our hard pipe liquid cooling so so we used this for bending
and I am actually going to try to do it with copper if I can bend
at 90 then I think I'm safe so what I'll
have to do is disassemble the computer fully cut apart the case and then as
long as I can bend the copper into 90s
then I will pretty much try to fill in as many of the gaps as I can with copper
tubing as you can see we're probably not
going to get the entire length in there but I'm certainly going to try and and
put in as much as I can twist it as it bends that I didn't know that I probably
won't be able to do well that makes sense to you though right no it doesn't
make sense I don't know let me just try this okay the fact that we can't use
tools we don't have access
to makes this a little tougher cuz otherwise I'd be blowing my entire
budget oh it's going to Kink okay told
you okay okay that's fine
that's fine we can saw that back off so let's
try um a larger
radius okay oh now I'm
worried I want to disrupt as little of the uh of the nice part of this as I
can okay we might be screwed
though okay let's try and go for
something very gradual here yeah holding having this held down
better is going to help a lot
but for now what we're doing is mostly experimentation yep okay so it kinked
again is that ruined this part of it yes
so we're going to cut it off here for sure okay yeah okay okay all right so
let's I don't know if you have the right tools for the job man that's okay we'll find a we'll find
a way I'm not going to I'm not going to be defeated by this
um but this obviously isn't going inside
the case obviously was probably obvious to a lot
of our viewers before I figured it out but I've caught up
now how to bend copper pipe and tubing without crushing it step one fill it
with salt straighten it out to begin oh
okay well this this might actually work this is probably how they do it okay so
here let's take this out into the driveway I
guess okay well I obviously can't leave this stupid copper tube in my driveway
so we need to move it to my backyard which is the only place I have that's
big enough to keep it
oh you hit the tree this doesn't really get me any
closer to figuring out how much space
it's going to take up in here how tightly I can coil it and
and if and how much is going to need to
come outside of the case so you know what we can do for the next few minutes
here before we wrap up is start tearing
this thing down so I'm picking up a radiator uh we have
to be there in 20 minutes we have to be
out of the store in 23 minutes how big of a r you yeah PA talking I guess but
just a the smallest essentially it's it's for a computer so heater heater
core would work that too small uh really small is good a heater
core yeah guy right
there probably
yeah like something that size would that
be about the red size or yeah I know that would actually be this is perfect
yeah that's perfect there you go that's
going to work for you yeah that'll totally work that's not too small that's
that's great yeah I was put that you were going to give him that haunted Civic R whatever but yeah this that's
way bigger than this so yeah yeah that's more appropriate size then we'll do that
one I didn't even know these were a thing but yeah if if this can take just
water then which I'm sure it can I'll take one of these this one I guess sure
yeah fine you one yeah how's how's 50
bucks on sure yeah okay done cool that
was easy oh man it's it's great it's the the
fittings are way smaller than I expected this will fit in the computer this just
looks like a normal computer radiator except these things were welded on there
which could be great yeah so let's
go okay so I got the pump it was a
little bit expensive it was twice the price of the one that I was expecting to
buy but the radiator that I got was half the
price of the radiator that I thought I was going to buy so it's probably okay
it's actually threaded if I open this up and look
inside it's a threaded pump these are the threaded little knobbers that he
gives me and these are fine but I could
replace them if I really needed to so
tomorrow when I go to Home Depot or whatever if I really need to replace
them so I can get copper on there or whatever that's totally possible um I
don't think I'm going to do that as this was expensive in itself and the budget
is starting to WAN but that's okay cuz I basically have everything um but yeah
expensive pump but I think it'll be good scrapyard Wars will return right
now beautiful morning birds are all like
chirping and stuff well I don't think I have his number you
know what okay no maybe we'll do this in like half an hour let's go fill the
copper pipe with sugar up the tree F
the okay this is not my greatest idea
ever there's not much growing between the trees so now I just have to decide
well if I'm going to fall to my death I guess I want to fall in my own yard so
my wife doesn't have to have that awkward conversation with the neighbor
so I'm going to climb the right hand side tree
if we were smart we would have actually marked out on the extension cord how
high I have to
go okay I'm trying to get the uh trying to get the funnel out oh no the funnel
is not quite small enough no hold on
hold on maybe well it like kind of meets up perfectly oh no no I can probably
make it work anyway yeah I'll just spill some it's okay I got this yeah it's not
draining anymore okay I can put it a little
up oh that sprayed sugar all over me oh
you know what it's not draining at the top but I can hear it moving I could
probably now that I think about it I could probably lift it up 10 ft above my
head it says we have 6 minutes of uh of
filming left okay uh what about the
other card the other card in the camera yeah it's full okay um oh I wish we were
having this problem at a different time hold on just let
me my butt my right butt totally asleep
okay okay so here's our tuck taped
copper tube here's our tuct taped copper tube here uh this is where I've got the
the copper tube and the extension cord tied off um so basically the filling
process looked a little something like
like this I used to have a funnel it fell um so this is how we know that it's
full because I try to pour things and it just falls down the tree so actually we
didn't use that much of the bag I still got this much sugar bag full could have
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
kids were waiting in the car so uh so I just went with sugar and got the crap
out of there I'm sure there's some super easy way to do this and people are just
watching the train rack it's probably like a copper tube sand filler machine
capping it and in theory my copper tube is now
bendable in theory we have not tried
this it would have been a good idea to try this before I spent an hour up a
tree all right Taran you might need to uh help me out with the lowering process
here pull it across the yard as we go okay I'm dropping the backpack okay you
ready ready yeah yeah yeah oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh I almost hit the camera well it it it
moved where it was falling to that's what I meant when I said
Plinko do you not have Plinko in America
no oh all right grab the copper tube
okay we have a plan for this we're going
to head over to the neighbor's house since it's not so early and we are going
to find out what the feasibility of our block manufacturing
is don't actually know no I'm pretty sure his car's there
oh am I not standing in the window is it John on the other side of the
door was that you exhaling I thought I heard someone
oh okay uh they'll have to return
later so I just bought the reservoir for
my computer which came
pre-filled although uh okay probably
just going to empty it anyways but I'll empty it before I start building cuz
I'll probably drink it next time on scrapyard Wars Luke's budget is drying
up cuz that's all I have left I super definitely can't afford it and Linus's
plans might be a wash I'm not sure if we can still put a computer in here
