00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,800
scrapyard

2
00:00:09,719 --> 00:00:16,680
War this episode of scrapyard Wars was brought to you by

3
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:19,960
dbrand all right so it is the beginning of day two and the very first thing we

4
00:00:18,439 --> 00:00:24,000
need to do is check email someone who emailed ahead of you has confirmed he is coming to buy at first thing in the

5
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:30,320
morning so don't come out before phone me around 1100 to make sure it's still available this is Luke I know it it is

6
00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:36,480
absolutely Luke oh man we're not going to have enough time dude this guy what

7
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:40,039
the guy with the 7950 is replied back so wait we can get the

8
00:00:37,879 --> 00:00:45,200
7950 oh no we don't have time for this right now we have to we have to go right

9
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:48,120
now oh this is for the case it the guy's

10
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:54,680
local so it should not be that far ah 25 minutes away day two of scrapyard

11
00:00:51,559 --> 00:00:55,960
Wars so we are going to get that

12
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:01,160
graphics card that I talked about yesterday the r9290 uh Gigabyte wind

13
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:06,240
Force and then I have bad

14
00:01:03,559 --> 00:01:13,640
news the motherboard CPU and cooler platform guy responded

15
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,720
saying that he had a lot of 2 GB 6 of

16
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:20,400
RAM which is good news and

17
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:23,240
then also told me that he forgot to

18
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:28,040
bring it to work with him today and that he might not be able to tomorrow so I

19
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:35,840
was distracted trying to uh have Brandon email motherboard

20
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:37,479
guy uh so I went the wrong way on the

21
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:42,399
highway so I'm going to pick up the graphics card we're at BCIT he's waiting

22
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:47,640
I'm late I'm going to go I actually heard back from a fair

23
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:52,759
number of my lowball graphics card offers so it's a good thing I did this

24
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:57,119
before running out and picking up that $20 video card that I arranged yesterday

25
00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:02,799
cuz if I can find something better I'm going just bail on that guy so first up

26
00:01:59,399 --> 00:02:05,560
we've got a GTX 460 for 30 bucks the guy

27
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:14,160
came down from or up from my offer of 20 GTX 550 TI nah sorry this card is too

28
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:17,120
good for $35 LOL 7870 $40 firm for a

29
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:21,840
broken card what an idiot a freaking tool this guy didn't reply to any of my

30
00:02:19,959 --> 00:02:27,720
questions are you really the line of Sebastian from

31
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:29,959
NC okay so no useful leads whatsoever

32
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:36,480
let's get down to business so I decided I'm going to go for the one

33
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:39,680
shot you know home run swing right off

34
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:43,280
the bat here I'm going to load literally

35
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:45,599
all of this Hardware up and I'm going to

36
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,840
see if it boots and if it does then I am in really good shape for the rest of the

37
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:54,120
day and if it doesn't and we got nothing a I knew this

38
00:02:52,159 --> 00:03:00,480
motherboard wasn't going to work why did I even let myself think it might

39
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:02,319
balls give it another shot here with a

40
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:06,319
proper power supply and see if maybe that's the issue the display on the back

41
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:12,680
it actually has a post read up back here but I can bar no

42
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:21,200
way we

43
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:24,319
got an ASUS Rog board 4 gigs of working

44
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:27,200
ddr2 a

45
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:32,920
q6600 and a broken power supply which I'm totally okay with

46
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,920
for 60

47
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:40,400
bucks so I know what we're doing today

48
00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:42,400
we need to obtain a new power supply

49
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:47,040
okay I'm okay with that we need to obtain a case and what's great about

50
00:03:44,519 --> 00:03:51,159
that is it's really easy to find a case power supply combos so we need to go out

51
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:54,239
and get a case power supply combo we still need to potentially find a

52
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:59,400
graphics card but I'm going to find out about that in a minute here maybe we

53
00:03:57,519 --> 00:04:04,360
should spend some of our time obtaining a better cooler cuz the q6600 can run

54
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:09,200
pretty hot when you overclock it so having a really beefy cooler on there

55
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:14,560
could be the ace up Our Sleeve we got to go we might just lose

56
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:20,160
the motherboard right now do we bail on this guy and try to get a different case

57
00:04:16,919 --> 00:04:22,680
Okay so it is 10:09 and everything is

58
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:26,199
already going completely wrong um I'm pretty sure Luke is getting our mother

59
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:30,320
board right now and I just realized the guy who has the case who's supposedly

60
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:35,639
local is actually 25 minutes away and this guy's expecting us to like show

61
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:39,880
up in like 5 minutes we might be a little screwed here the good thing that

62
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:45,600
might save us is that we have leads on both a 6990 and a pair of 7950 both of

63
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,960
which should be doable so I think what we're going to do is we're going to go

64
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,440
to this guy's house pick up the case and the power supply and then what we're

65
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:55,880
going to do is we're going to go and grab um see what kind of stuff we can

66
00:04:53,919 --> 00:05:00,360
get at the computer shop because that's uh we don't have any other

67
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:02,440
appointments I don't think we might

68
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,039
um yeah we'll go to the computer shop and see what we can find if the guy has

69
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:10,160
a good motherboard then we should be able to either pull off the 7950 or the

70
00:05:07,039 --> 00:05:11,880
6990 but it's going to be tricky so I

71
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:17,400
have bad news and great news the bad news is motherboard system guy still

72
00:05:14,479 --> 00:05:25,160
hasn't messaged me back good news is I got the graphics card for $180 I saved

73
00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:26,680
20 bucks how did I do that well I

74
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:34,880
checked out the card before he gave it to me it's a 290 everything's fine but

75
00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:37,680
there's one little Oddity when I went to

76
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:41,880
go take it out of the bag I noticed this there's no

77
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:44,440
screws right there there's one screw

78
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:49,080
holding the plate on here but there it's missing a screw here and it's missing

79
00:05:46,039 --> 00:05:50,360
two screws here and two screws here so I

80
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:56,759
was like that's kind of weird started complaining and he gave me 20 bucks off

81
00:05:53,039 --> 00:05:57,759
so I got a 290 aftermarket cooled card

82
00:05:56,759 --> 00:06:03,080
for $180 which is pretty sick sck I just

83
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:09,520
need to make sure that I have a computer to put it

84
00:06:04,479 --> 00:06:12,599
in it is time to call free geek and see

85
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:15,039
how much they can save my ass hopefully

86
00:06:12,599 --> 00:06:19,199
entirely scrapyard Wars will be right back after these messages this episode

87
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:22,880
of scrapyard Wars is brought to you by dbrand makers of the Precision Cut vinyl

88
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:27,000
skins that you'll see on the phones and notebooks of our contestants they offer

89
00:06:25,039 --> 00:06:30,639
a wide variety of styles and colors and support for the coolest devices

90
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:35,160
including the PlayStation 4 Galaxy Note 5 and iPhone 6s protect the body of your

91
00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:40,039
devices and make them look great at dbrand.com scrapyard Wars one thing we

92
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:43,240
do have going for us is that uh Luke lonus and I we all had a chat this

93
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:47,319
morning and basically the idea is is that we're all going to try to have all

94
00:06:44,479 --> 00:06:50,720
of our parts by the end of the day but if we don't have everything today we're

95
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:56,400
going to have until noon tomorrow so basic we'll have 2 hours tomorrow to go

96
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,520
and get any last minute parts we need so

97
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:01,840
we should be able to get everything today and we'll do the build off tomorrow so we don't have to worry about

98
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:06,280
putting together the systems although I know Lucas already got started on his

99
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:11,000
sounded like that anyway okay so we're here we're about to pick up the case um

100
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:18,240
hopefully we don't get murdered this is the first time we've actually used Craigslist for this little trip so let's

101
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:20,960
get some money and hopefully have a case

102
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:25,080
hey hi how's it going Austin thank you appreciate

103
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:28,560
it I don't said we make sure everything well before you take it okay thank you

104
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:35,560
appreciate it it is officially begun we have our case and I've got to say say it's actually way more beefy than I

105
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:40,639
thought it was so see

106
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,639
here oh it's got a lock on it there we

107
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:47,599
go that's actually pretty solid and he showed me the power supply does work we

108
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:53,720
have a 120 fan in the back actually is that one in the front no still though oh

109
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,440
we even have a s cable front panel all

110
00:07:53,720 --> 00:08:01,639
right I think we're in business it's a little beat up but it'll totally do for

111
00:07:58,039 --> 00:08:03,520
25 bucks it's good start so the guy with

112
00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:06,479
the saber teeth motherboard replied he'll let me know if it's sold or not he

113
00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:09,960
got multiple replies and I have the first who first responded the first

114
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:12,479
chance he should be here shortly and if he doesn't show up it'll be yours it's

115
00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:16,599
not about getting more money but more of a promise to keep it'll be yours for the

116
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:21,879
same price if other guys doesn't show up so 7950 guy just replied basically we're

117
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:26,800
kind of out of luck on this too he doesn't get home till 7:00 he could do

118
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:29,560
it tomorrow but that would eat up the little bit of time we would have and

119
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:35,440
we'd have to drive like an hour out out of the way so there is a $69.90 it's

120
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:39,519
$180 so we're going to meet him at 2:00

121
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:42,120
so I just got the $200 r9290 for 180

122
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:48,800
bucks because it was missing a couple screws on the io plate which while

123
00:08:45,959 --> 00:08:53,760
they're nice to have the card will run without it um and I'm hoping that there

124
00:08:51,560 --> 00:09:00,160
might be some spare ones for that in the in the spare screw bin at work

125
00:08:57,079 --> 00:09:03,120
um the motherboard and S system guy

126
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:07,399
still has not messaged me back he's at work I can't be mad but this guy is

127
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,480
getting a little frustrating to deal with he's never I gave him my phone

128
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:15,399
number he keeps on saying he's going to text me and he has not um and that would

129
00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:20,360
be a lot easier to communicate with him over text messages uh he said he was

130
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:23,519
going to check for RAM last night he did uh I also told him to bring the stuff to

131
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:28,760
work so that I could pick it up from him at work and he did not because he

132
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:33,200
apparently forgot or didn't read that email or something kind of think he just

133
00:09:30,959 --> 00:09:36,040
forgot so I've got a graphics card and I've got a line on a power supply which

134
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:40,600
I'm going to pick up later today other than that it's unknown and the free geek

135
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:44,320
stock is really starting to freak me out so my new plan is I'm going to go to

136
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:51,360
free geek figure out what they have if they have everything I need which is very unlikely but if they do I'll just

137
00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:56,000
pick it all up if they don't I will just kind of post up probably near free geek

138
00:09:53,680 --> 00:10:00,440
in the car do as much research as I can online try to plan all the appointments

139
00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:05,200
I can for the stuff that I can and then fill out the holes that I can't find

140
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:12,839
with stuff at free geek hopefully that will work um I had a lot of backup plans

141
00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:14,680
last night and most of them are gone now

142
00:10:12,839 --> 00:10:23,800
but there's still a few that seem to be on the fence of guys that have 6600s and

143
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:27,079
other various quad cores so in 600 I

144
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:30,959
know might not be screwed just really

145
00:10:27,079 --> 00:10:33,480
depends on what's at free geek

146
00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:40,760
yeah interested in q600 interested in a board that it can go in and a fairly low

147
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:42,519
capacity hard drive what do we have so

148
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:49,120
our options right now this is actually way better than I expected this place is

149
00:10:43,959 --> 00:10:54,360
super cool is um $30 for an Intel DG 43

150
00:10:49,120 --> 00:11:01,040
GT did she say 35 and not 55 so I've got

151
00:10:54,360 --> 00:11:02,440
an ASUS p5q motherboard a q6600 a 20 160

152
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:10,040
I don't remember Gigabyte hard drive spinning at uh 7200 RPM and it was a

153
00:11:06,639 --> 00:11:12,000
little vague but I think 8 gigs of RAM

154
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,560
all for 100 bucks I'm a little bit worried that this thing isn't going to

155
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:23,120
work at all as you guys saw there there was like Tim in the CPU socket and she

156
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:25,800
rubbed the pins on the board and did the

157
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:30,720
the but anyways I think it'll I think this will be good okay so I'm throwing

158
00:11:28,079 --> 00:11:34,680
my Windows 7 test build on here to find out what exactly this graphics card is I

159
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:41,839
cannot believe we

160
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,839
C can't believe that board

161
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:47,760
works all right I do have to say one

162
00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:53,079
cool thing about the MacBook Air is that I forgot to charge it used it a bunch

163
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:58,240
yesterday it's at like 65% battery it's cray cray

164
00:11:55,399 --> 00:12:05,560
oh wow it's a sound driver AIO dosis was what caused the

165
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:07,519
problem interesting does this

166
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:16,560
even oh oh wow um we might have to go back to

167
00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:18,720
our buddy there and get a sound

168
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:24,480
card this motherboard doesn't have onboard sound

169
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:30,480
so today's going well so far I have determined that my motherboard by some

170
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,720
freaking Miracle Works uh the RAM is all

171
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:37,959
correctly detected the CPU is correctly detected it even has drivers for up to

172
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Windows 8.1 so we're going to be able to run all of our benchmarks I have

173
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:48,240
arranged to go out and pick up the graphics card that we figured out

174
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:52,480
yesterday and I've reached out to back

175
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:55,440
alley crackpipe computer owner guy about

176
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:59,720
going and getting a sound card because that is the thing that probably had that

177
00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:04,480
motherboard in the scrap Heap I don't have a sound card for it so if we hear

178
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:10,279
back from him maybe we can get a case while we're there which leaves us with

179
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:12,160
the optional step of obtaining a power

180
00:13:10,279 --> 00:13:17,959
supply because I could use the one from the computer inside and that is about it

181
00:13:15,199 --> 00:13:23,880
we're in really good shape it is time to Boogie so I'm just going to cover up my

182
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:29,720
progress so far and head out all right so we are

183
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:36,040
here at the computer store and hopefully we can get a lot of what

184
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:40,440
we need because we need um roughly

185
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,440
everything right now so let's give it a

186
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:46,120
try hey so basically we were able to get

187
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:50,639
a lot of what we needed so we're able to get a Core i7 2600 not overclockable as

188
00:13:49,079 --> 00:13:52,920
well as the motherboard so it will support crossfires so we're good with

189
00:13:52,199 --> 00:13:58,240
the 6990 um but the most important thing is

190
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:03,360
we've got a seriously powerful CPU have a seriously powerful graphics card we

191
00:14:00,279 --> 00:14:05,120
have a 160 gig hard drive because 15

192
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:09,560
bucks and we just need it to run benchmarks it's not really going to make a difference and we have our second

193
00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:14,560
power supply so this is actually a pretty beefy Supply it actually has an 8

194
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:16,440
pin and a six pin so basically right now

195
00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:20,720
I think we're in pretty good shape I think once we' Like Glue this or tap

196
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:25,320
this up to the top of the case we're going to be set so let's going do it

197
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:29,800
okay so they had a problem mounting the stock heat sink um but the price is good

198
00:14:28,079 --> 00:14:33,480
so I really want to make sure works so they let me back into their testing area

199
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:37,600
which is awesome they're letting us film which is awesome free geek is awesome I

200
00:14:35,759 --> 00:14:41,880
need to mount this thing though yeah it's I think the heat sink

201
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:47,360
has a problem that really sucks cuz something

202
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:51,240
that I do know doesn't work is this top

203
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:53,959
slot but they say that this one works I

204
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:59,399
want to make sure it works before I leave uh the the ARM is broken off

205
00:14:57,079 --> 00:15:05,240
that's why it won't sit yeah that explains a lot I hate these freaking

206
00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:07,519
stock heat sinks man that's one side in

207
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:11,000
so the whole right side went in no problem at all the whole right side's in

208
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:16,800
the left side on the other hand is

209
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:18,639
just not working out for me very well

210
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:24,680
I'm having second thoughts about my video card Matrix strategy what I

211
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:27,800
realized is I'm calculating FPS per

212
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:29,959
dollar as a function of only the cost of

213
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:37,639
the graphics card I have not factored in the rest of the

214
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:41,639
computer so if a graphics card costs $10

215
00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:44,199
more that doesn't mean that if I'm

216
00:15:41,639 --> 00:15:49,199
spending $20 I'm spending 50% more I better get 50% more

217
00:15:45,959 --> 00:15:52,160
FPS that means that compared

218
00:15:49,199 --> 00:15:57,600
to the rest of the cost of the system I might be spending 10% more I only have

219
00:15:55,160 --> 00:16:04,079
to get 10% more FPS so basically the more expensive

220
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:09,079
graphics cards might be totally worthwhile even if they don't score as

221
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:17,079
many FPS per dollar compared to a low-end one next time on scrapyard Wars

222
00:16:13,079 --> 00:16:17,079
