all right so you guys pretty much know how this works at this point it is time
again for scrapyard Wars but we're throwing a wrench into the rules once
more we're going to have a bigger budget $900 per team and because that gives us
enough money to build something that not only performs well but also looks good
we've brought in BS mods professional computer modders extraordinaire to lend
both me and Luca hand so a Welcome to our guests Bob and Rod and without
further Ado let's get started SC
okay so it's day two we're getting started a little late cuz the camera
people slept in or got stuck at the auto
shop both of them go figure um but it's
okay because this only sets back our plan to finish an entire day early by
about an hour yeah we'll be fine we'll be fine okay my biggest concern going
into today was that we would not find
hardware because there was pretty much
nothing out there and we got almost no
replies on the messages that we sent out Midway through and towards the end of
the day yesterday so there's a couple things that came through this morning I
actually heard from two GTX 780s one of
them sort of disqualified himself um
what's your best offer will it be in one of your videos oh yeah so he knows
what's up yeah the other guy says yep I can do that also are you lonus from lus
Tech tips so I'm going to take that one because he doesn't actually know and he
said yep I can do that first we had contacted a guy who had it and uh
unfortunately he recognized lonus right
away and blew the whole deal because the rule is that um he can't use any kind of
influence to make a deal make a purchase whatever and so technically as soon as
the guy figures out it's Linus you know it's kind of against the rules so far I
think we're doing a grand total of okay
um I think we have a pretty interesting theme although we don't have enough
stuff for that theme currently um but we have some leads which might work out uh
we have a whole bunch of Hardware leads which seem to be pretty good but then I don't really know what the actual
Hardware Target is this time around because it's a very flexible budget and
there's two different things that you're going for and then like the the
availability of parts right now is and things are really expensive because a
Canadian dollar is [ __ ] so yeah I think
we're doing okay we are going to Max Traders Max Traders is a uh scrapyard
place like family-owned thing that said that we might be able to pick some uh
pick some stuff out of their yard so we're going to go check them out first
so we're after some hopefully Rusty bits that will fit in with like the uh iron
that we got yesterday and the burlap and stuff that maybe already has a patina
that we won't have to uh paint or uh change at all stuff ready to go yeah the
uh the main computer that we're looking at um which is a i7 860 machine uh with
8 gigs of RAM um they want 285 for it we
asked them for 260 they said no so we
asked him what they could do and he said you can't do much so we'll probably give
him an offer like maybe 275 and see if he'll do that just to try to get us an
extra 10 bucks for more aesthetic work or a better
SSD stuff cool old his engin I think I
see some Rust in there yep sweetness oh
man yeah nice so we're at Max Traders uh
this is a place kind of new where I grew up so I knew about it um there's some
pretty cool stuff here hopefully it works out we got to go walk around and
uh price some things out try to stay out to the workers way so hopefully this
goes well remember copper stuff is going to be worth more this stuff looks super
cool but like just to like have it on there
it could look pretty damn cool that looks awesome heavy is going
to cost more probably here's a small
like some motor that was pretty amazing
um it was exactly what I was looking for I wanted bins of junk and uh we're able
to dig through those bins and uh find
some pretty cool stuff w
be like a motor looking thing big alternator that's kind of I mean like
I'm not sure if you need the whole I don't know if we have enough space in a case but if you had just the front
pulley part that's what I was kind of even looking at these guys
like okay put two of these on a shaft
and put a belt on them you get the impression of like a motor without like
the tons of space yeah I hear you
so this two matching ones there and there that have a
bracket yeah I almost wonder like a a
rubber belt almost seems a little bit out of place but a piece of metal chain
going around it and this like on the back off off a little bit maybe yeah we
could find a piece of metal chain that would be pretty cool looking there's
another piston that one's busted
but these these look good
these Pistons say mad back there you go these are perfect that's freaking sick
two Chevy V8 Pistons that made me a lot
more confident in the theme yeah I was a little bit worried about it my biggest
concern going into today to was getting anything to match the theme at all cuz
that wasn't really going very well so far and I think we conquered that so
that's good it's a it's a critical
item so this is just garbage bin but
these are uh water lines that they've cut the brass fittings off of so it's
pretty much just a stainless steel line
that's garbage and it'll work perfect for sleeving I thinking like smoke
stacks at the top or something yeah we've got that great that's going to
take up a huge portion of thisp that's a good point that's a good point but so
maybe slightly smaller diameter yeah
would yeah that's pretty cool it's pretty big but it's pretty cool you
can't find this gauge uh anywhere easy it's for AC kilovolts so th000 volt
scale so something you would use to measure the voltage incoming to like a
Transformer before it hits your house power only down at 110 volts or so
megawatts million Watts multiple households worth of electricity so power
plants maybe produce somewhere a big power plant that powers the entire city
produces maybe 150 megaw so this is
badass you just buy these at Walmart yeah yeah
um we're going to buy a bunch of them
you using them for uh we're doing a weird art project thing we're trying to
make a computer that looks kind of mad Maxi oh cool yeah know part sick we'll
get more awesome that one's got gas in it so just make sure it's that you have
the off going off in your car yeah good call
thank you I appreciate that guys awesome
cool so we got these for free oh my God
sweet so that's that's $45 worth of tips
yeah got that the manager is not super happy about our
deal the thrift stores on the first day were pretty rough but Max was actually
pretty awesome I was hoping for a lot from Max I've been there a few times and
SE seen some pretty epic things that would have been awesome but their
inventory is rapidly rotating CU they just Salvage scavenge and get rid of
everything that they have all the time that's kind of their whole business so you never really know what to expect
there but I was very happy with Max so
we are able to get the 780 for
300 so what that means is if we meet up
with the guy with the CPU motherboard and RAM for 500 right away we spend 300
on a 780 that gives you $32.75
to finish your mod oh my God
$32 well almost 33 Canadian yes oh well
I mean what do you even still need though uh we need a little bit of
Hardware just some just some like you know small small uh bolts and um really
not a lot so I can't believe I'm saying it but we
might be fine with that okay I also kind of need a CPU Cooler so how much more of
that can you give me oh my God okay um I
can ask CPU motherboard guy cuz we yeah
if we can get one for like 10 bucks I just realized okay we talked to him
already about not needing the video card and not needing the hard drive but we
don't need the case right we don't need a case at all anymore why don't we ask
him cuz this guy's got more than one and he could sell the case for maybe 20 or
30 bucks yeah you know what so why don't we start by seeing if we can get a CPU
Cooler instead of a case right and then go from there also do we still need
Paint did you bring some I brought some
I think I have enough for what we're going to do okay why don't we go have a
look okay okay okay let's go check that first before we before we move any
further scrapyard Wars will return after this message from our sponsor this
episode of scrapyard Wars is brought to you by dbrand makers of the Precision
Cut vinyl skins that you see on the phones and laptops of the contestants
they may not be bulletproof but they look really cool try their configurator
at dbrand.com Linked In the video description we've got everything we've
got Reds we've got yellow blue green
gold our motherboard is blue everything you can think of we have blue it's that
awful it's that awful light blue that ASUS was doing in the p67 days do you
remember that that stupid powder blue we can uh what kind of Blues you got okay
so we have all kinds of Blues we have dark blue light blue kind um yeah and
it'll be a little bit different when we mix them up some of some of these are candy some of these are Sparkles Ascent
pearlescent all kinds of stuff and we can mix and match too so you know we can
take any of these colors and apply your basic formulas and we can make any
custom color we want if we want to make a lighter blue we can just add some
white hi this is lonus calling I was going to pick up the uh the CPU combo
yesterday and I know I'm calling a little late um do you mind if I head out
there now if I don't need the case are you able to take off like another 20
bucks yeah no I don't I'm not going waste my time doing that yeah uh I can
do it yeah you know what I don't want to be
stuck in the case I mean I work in computers too and I know you do as well
um yeah I just been case that I may not
film for a long time I see well what was
it like a 300 300 or something like that
the one 300 to the same one in the
picture okay okay um so for me to rip it
all apart it's you know I've already hard drive and P out the uh video card
and stuff and I don't really want to around with that aspect at all yeah this
guy was cheaper than the other guy the the guy with the reference card was the
one who was like OMG is it going to be in a video oh yeah blue for us right
there I mean stricks cards look pretty good but and I can change this red right
here I can change that to the same color as the stuff sure so that's not a big
deal as far as painting and stuff and I can actually I can paint the whole thing
silver and then paint these blue to match so it tricks out the car so we're
good there okay so we're still good but the budget is not looking good right now
this guy wants 40 bucks for an EVO 22 oh
there oh yeah look at these are all stock that's all stock wait is that an
Arctic cooling logo I saw in that last picture 53 minutes this place is not
close wow no kidding
yeah but I don't think we have much of a
choice we really haven't found anything better every time I come to Canada
though I do like it it's just something about it it just seems really cool and
people are really I don't know they seem pretty
genuine and pretty cool running around
downtown Vancouver and seeing how many
uh uh hot women are running around on the streets actually so it has nothing
to do with the build but that was uh definitely a surprise for
me analog and stuff 104 seems like it be
on this floor check out this analog elevator it's awesome what oh my God
that is crazy I'm lius this is
Bob all right show us what you got which
way are we going yeah it's right here that's awesome so what was how much was
it it was 100 bucks off right so which was what5 you want me to P is there is
there any way you would go to just I mean if I
p75 I'm not willing to pay asking price
and things like that and um you know there's a little bit of negotiation
involved worth five bucks I don't care DVD writers I pay five bucks for as well
so to me it's all non-existent stuff can
we do 485 every little bit helps you want to pull it out sure yes I mean
we're we're that tight on the budget that we like every dollar is like
critical at this point case I don't want to do if you want
to I went and I left my stupid screwdriver in the car thank you okay
awesome I got it I got it I got it okay
so that was a brilliant stroke of negotiation getting that extra 10 bucks
cuz that 10 bucks could be the difference between having a heat sink
and being able to afford our video card
and not so we actually did really well here we paid
485 and we got ourselves uh a
2600 uh we got ourselves it looks like yeah that's uh 8 gig of yeah it's a 4x2
gig kit but it's got a heat spreader on it so we can paint that we can work with
that we got ourselves an overclocking capable motherboard we got a decent
power supply cx600 is not a fantastic
power supply but it's decent and it's sleeved not very nicely but it's sleed
and we got a 250 gig SSD which while not
really necessary to win um you know maybe we can maybe we can position it
sort of prominently in our system to to get the judges to
recognize we have like a really good SSD something I can hope um I'm not that
impressed with the fans no they're just basic I mean we've
got you know we just got Basic Black fans we got 140 mil we we could use
another 120 mil but we would prefer another one with some blue LEDs however
we did get uh exactly three of uh those
which we needed so those will fit and uh
we'll look good enough I'm still okay spending the 20 bucks on that Cooler
Master it's not really eye-catching you know I don't see why we can't return our
money do you want to post I was just going to get some pictures and we'll just post onra you want to post it on
Craigslist for like 10 bucks 10 why don't we do thiss let's say 20 bucks
delivered that's a good case for 20 bucks let's say 20 bucks delivered I
just heard back from 780 guy he says sorry for the delayed reply but I'm busy
later today and can only meet Thursday you should follow other leads if you
have it I'm just going to I'm I'm going to like I'm just going to beg should I
throw in the 10 bucks we just got like should I I don't I don't know you know
what I'll just I'll just beg first come
any I'm just going to say I have a car
and I can come anywhere
um going to fix my spelling people people like it better when you can spell
okay I've got a guy with I've got a guy with an R9
390 but his original post is asking um
400 and this is like new in box it's brand new from RMA I don't know how much
he's going to move uh what can we offer this guy he's
he's given me a number to call so I can call him now yeah we can I'm just going
to turn off the turn off the engine here so right now I had 300 allocated for the
GTX 780 and I had 20 allocated for a cooler
and I had given you $22 for the rest of your modding supplies so if we can dress
up our cooler we can save that
money okay but then we can't we pretty much can't overclock a 2600 I actually
don't even know if it's a 2600k or a 2600 cuz if that's a K 2500 K with a
decent cooler is going to overclock enough to make a big difference if we
can spend the 20 bucks on the cooler it is a
2500k it is an over clockable chip how
about this let's give ourselves give me
can I have 10 bucks to find a cooler you think I can get a cooler for
10 bucks okay so so then we offer this
guy 330 330 for the uh for the R9 390 I mean
it's definitely we got to have it we're kind of what's he asking he's asking
400 yeah and like you and I know the 390
is just a 290 with some more RAM well if
we say like cash money right now we're
down the street you know maybe yeah we don't know
that gives you $2.75 for the rest of the
mod so that's enough to basically buy a couple like pieces of metal to cover
those holes in the panel that's what we're looking at here all actually all
I'm going to be getting is nuts and
bolts I have nuts and V you what I can beg for
change can we Beg For Change on this challenge I'm not sure dude you've seen
I'm not afraid to ask for a discount so I'm I'm if I have to stand on a street
corner with a cup saying you know scrapyard Wars please help whatever I
need a GTX 780 929 not going to lie uh
need a GTX you know whatever no I'm not
homeless yes I am desperate please help
uh hi I'm calling about the R9
390 uh yeah yeah that's right oh hold on
just one second um yeah yeah this is Linus um so I am in
a bit of a bind in terms of how much I
have to spend on this I had a GTX 780 lined up um and that guy just completely
bailed on me and now I'm really stuck would you be able to do
325 325 I can come right now I thought
that 390 deal was done until the guy
opened his mouth and goes I'm just I'm
just wondering uh it sounds like you you're a lonus from lonus Tech tips
right and you're doing a scrap scrapyard Wars devastated I was
devastated oh great now I can't now I can't buy from you oh why uh cuz it's
against the rules oh oh okay okay well
that's unfortunate okay yeah yeah yeah he
sounded really familiar and then yeah
okay well hi yeah yeah I didn't know that rule
okay no problem no problem okay well
thanks anyway okay no problem okay okay bye
bye fortunately Bob had a great idea
okay what's what's the ruling what if I call him and ask him the same question
he isn't going to know me that's
true um how do we get you to call him
can we find like a pay phone that is I can't use my influence and he has no
knowledge of me whatsoever that's true
he doesn't know that I'm doing the scrapyard Wars with you he doesn't
know my name he doesn't know anything
I'm Joe Blow just like anybody else that would call
pay can I use his phone Bob seems okay yeah Brandon Bob
needs to brow your phone I really hope put the porn away I
really hope he doesn't put two and two together
here hey um I'm calling about that 390 that you have for sale would you be able
to go down to like
325 uh would uh
350 be okay 3
is probably a bit lower than 400 yeah
I'm just I'm trying to work with like your absolute buet it kind of is I mean
I guess if I if I if I pinched I could
probably add like another 10 bucks so I
could probably squeeze 335 do you do you have uh any need for
go ahead yeah go ahead well do you have any need for like do you do computer
stuff we have like an antech case that's pretty cool
could maybe throw in or something to help soften it up a little
bit uh I don't personally need it the
thing is uh if you do need it right now
um I'm in Toronto my I'm just doing this
uh this is my C but my brother's in Vancouver bnab and he won't get home
until 7 o' p.m. tonight probably yeah
tonight tomor morning could we could we meet up uh tomorrow morning
uh no well he can meet you up today uh at 7 I just I just gave him a text he
said he'll be available to show you let you test it out or do whatever you like
with it okay um so today it's fine just
letting you know uh that it would be later so um so what do you think on that
price I mean would do you think we would be able to do the 325 it would I mean I
know you don't know me but it certainly certainly help me
out uh you know what uh uh
you could put in another you think you could put in another tent yeah that's
the last I got I won't be able to eat or anything but I'll I'll I'll do
it busy can I you call me back in like
five minutes I'm almost okay sure yeah sorry definitely I
just can't hear anything okay okay I'll definitely call back thank you and my
name is Bob down to the freaking wire why is it
always down to the wire hi hey it's Bob
again you got a you in a good place now where you can talk uh yeah cool uh about
that uh I actually just got a email
reply from another guy who's uh wanted to buy my card he didn't say he it
sounded like he didn't ask about bargaining or anything but uh do you
mind if I wait for his reply
um man I wish you'd find it in your heart to just hopefully go along with
this 335 oh um yeah okay yeah yeah I see it's
just uh I'm working on a project and it's like I just really need it yeah
yeah I know yeah um uh so you just want
to hear if they're going to okay um yeah if he was going to give me 400 I I mean
I would rather take that yeah I understand I'll give him like an hour
okay so if you don't hear back in one hour do we have a deal for the
335 uh yeah sure I'll give it to you awesome man you are awesome okay all
right so I'm looking at a $69.90 that I found um it's only $200
and uh so now I want to tap into some benchmarks especially at 1440p since it
may have uh limited vram um and see if maybe that's an
opportunity it's it's actually really inexpensive compared to what other cards
we're looking at right now
so we just got two cases for free
they've actually got some components in it so that's when has a motherboard
graphics card and a USB card so and power
supplies we have two power supplies we have two power
supplies we might be able to do something with those maybe do it
properly this time sorry Austin PR comfortable with working with that 12vt
lead when I saw the computers that were fully built that was kind of insane um I
really didn't expect they were going to give us that I don't know if it'll help us at all in the end um but it might so
may have scor a sign uh or not I don't
know don't ask questions Ed did you
notice the guy said edzel right when we walked in yeah I thought that was like I
was like what the I thought that was so
did I yeah I thought it was the other employees name why awesome it was on the
ground yeah don't worry about it is I'm not too worried about not having a GPU
or uh SSD today because we can get that
but if we have the rest of the base system we can start working and uh start
focusing in on some of the
Aesthetics okay so basically the situation is that we're finding
ourselves not having enough time today
to turn things around quick enough right but we kind of saw you guys mixing paint
I'm sorry we kind of saw you guys mixing paint and doing some work mixing paint
Yeah we actually no 100% we have we did
not mix any paint I saw Bob hanging out
in Linus's Workshop shaking some paint cans you mean shaking a paint can yeah
what does that have to do with anything he was getting ready I don't I don't I
don't think we should get extra time things happened we got to fight our way
through it oh I see how this is going to be no no no I wasn't shaking no I wasn't
mixing any paint at all I was shaking a paint bottle just goofing around but not
actually that's not even what we're using that's of no consequence to me we
weren't doing any work whatsoever wow
all right all right well I I I see how this is going to be I see how this is
going to be then so so basically my
proposal since we were supposed to have a full day today is that we should be
allowed to have the time that we didn't have this morning and we can use it
either today or tomorrow or the morning
of Thursday so that way depending on how scheduling works out people can come in
early they can stay late or whatever but we can get that hour and a half
back so uh I'm let I'm letting you make the call here I'm letting you make the
call Cuz I'm I'm going to I'm going to put my best I'm going to put my best
competitive system forward either way but it would it would help us a lot to
have the time that we didn't have and I it would probably help you guys too if
you're being honest would what do you
want what do you think I'm good either
way I don't want them to put up a second rate system so sure I I guess we'll give
it to you okay all right all right sounds good sounds good sounds okay bye
all right
bye yeah I think they really need that
time and we probably don't need it as much but who knows sometimes you do end
up super needing the time we might have trouble with something when we start cutting Windows and all that fabrication
work it's going to take some time and it depends where we I mean you don't know
until you're probably done your last couple hours if you need that time or
not yeah I think I'm pretty Scrappy and can make you know know what sacrifices I
can make time wise yeah okay okay let's
get that meeting lined up as soon as we can because our r9390 for
335 that's killer I know so the graphics
card guy lives in Suri which is really close to the office so we're going to
try to go to the office for 5:30 and hang around for a little bit to not use
any of our extra time or use as little as possible and then we're going to go
meet up with him really quickly and then come back so we can use maybe like 20 25
minutes hopefully or maybe 30 minutes of our extra time then still have an hour
for later on and have our GPU hopefully
the rest of the day today we can get an acrylic
thing for our side panel that we want to make uh we can hopefully get the system
and if everything goes well SSD and
power supply as well right so we're at Home Depot we're trying to kill some
time so that some guys can actually message us back and we're going to see
if we can get a clear acrylic panel for the window so we to a hardware store
we're not really allowed filming in said particular hardware store uh we got an
acrylic or plexiglass panel thing which should look pretty cool and then we got
some interesting paints um graphics card
we're picking it up later on but the system is a worry and the frustrating
thing is so much hinges on that CU it's so many components in one purchase and
last scrapyard Wars I had a similar thing happen which is actually why I
ended up having to go to free geek where I had a system lined up and then the guy
just disappeared off the face of the planet and I had to end up going to free
geek so hopefully that doesn't happen again cuz I don't really want scrap Wars
to turn into free geek is obviously the best thing to do all the time forever
even though it kind of is because it's just kind of boring so hopefully we get
this system hold
on oh shoot pop it again
leaning up against the bush there was a port of a like mid 90s Ford Tailgate I
think it might be a luminum it's pretty soft it's a chunk of sheet metal and if
we use sheet metal we only need 18 20 in
so I grabbed it and folded it in half kind of and shoved it in the trunk and
now it fits now it
fits so we went to Canadian Tire got some tiki torches got some uh tiki torch
oil and some propane for our other fire
stuff we got a whole bunch of fire things we also got 10 cents in Canadian
Tire money yes we're set now maybe we
can upgrade our SSD with some Canadian Tire money seriously it's probably worth
like twice as much as normal Canadian money so there you go so we have our two
chassis that we got for free and instead
of using the chassis that hopefully we're going to get with the system we
could use the two chassis and the advantage of that is we could cut a
chassis and decide if something works or doesn't work and we have a second
chassis is identical that we could just move side panels back and forth with or
um cannibalize parts from it our build is going to incorporate fire weird I
don't really get how this one works sure it's fully off it was not
there we go C safety warnings but no
howtos which you know if they tell you how to use it would probably be a form
of safety there you go
oh oh my God our fire elements are
actually going very well uh I'm not too worried about the fire elements at all
uh we might add more if anything to be completely honest that is so sick
perfect this one's like punctured punctured I don't know if it actually
has a hole but it's like it was sorry impacted not
punctured how big was that flame though is that going to do it again yeah but
you have to wor generate a lot of smoke oh you
got that's not exactly what it meant was supposed to happen
there that was the whole wick on fire
yeah out there though we sure
enough thing is still a standard
you can do
it oh the second one coming up I
know actually got kind like Clips pops up and now we've
got these kind of scalloped skill like fittings and this
might actually look even better and now we just have to look at the positioning
of the piston and so we've got the fire we don't want to block the fire
completely so I want to be a little bit offset flame on I think that's going to
be pretty sick that's
awesome so we're ready to call them back um we're a little late actually yeah
it's 2:25 um going to do this can can I
have your phone wait no you called him with Brandon's phone okay Brandon can I
have your you're not going to like this text what you mean hey got a reply from
the other guy he says he's willing to pay the full 400 so I'm going to have to
take his offer sorry what whoa hold on no we just won
the lottery how freaking badass is
that did he ever confirm that no but
that's what he's getting is 40 bucks look
