scrap yard wars is brought to you by the new dbrand grip learn more at the link
below
this one a brother named terry uh yes actually that's me
i just got another email for something wrong i guess oh really yeah it was
regarding
you're not johnny okay hold on hold on can i can we pause
the interview for a second i want to show you a trick watch this okay
now you see Linus
where'd he go that's right
the disguise today not actually very effective
well it's too late now i already did the deal oh no i don't care about the
no i get i can trust you i get disqualified if uh i get disqualified if
you recognize me before we agree on the price let's qualify for what we're
filming scrap yard wars oh okay yeah 980 tis work fine for that yeah
you know that's pretty cool i gotta check your hand man i've actually been following minus tank for a long time do
you want to be uh do you want to be in the episode sure well it's good because you are max
check out the goods dimitri you know the iron is i couldn't find my
receipt from ncix oh there's the uh
that's a lie bridge look at it did we get a high bandwidth bridge nice there's
another 200. beautiful we are blowing like the vast
majority of our budget on these cards but uh
you know what we're gambling we're gambling that we can do the rest of the
system for like 500. there you are
you're not showing us when you're done he was thanks Linus appreciate it yeah
thank you you know i can help with or are you guys good i now that you know
who i am i definitely can't accept any help from you
okay so this is a challenge though dimitri not only do we have to find an
sli board we have to find one with this damn
spacing to find them tough that has a middle slot empty yeah
is it just one middle just one middle empty slot yeah you know what that's the
most common spacing we might be okay
okay okay so we got the high bandwidth bridge we've got the 980 ti's let's uh
let's go back to talking to that with the 920 combo i messaged this guy
i'm like yo well you take 200 he's like no period i'm like well okay
here's a combo with a similar grade motherboard a better CPU more RAM and it
comes with a GPU case power supply and a
hard drive and he's like well maybe you should buy that then
some guys right some people's kids man how did you feel when the lioness send
you the cash picture the cash picture uh
confident that was so that was effective yes so
as soon as i see cash it's a little more confident to make the journey and yeah the medals so it's not too hard to get
here all right well yeah i'm magnificently feeling better than it you
cool man all right thanks again thank you and these better work speaking of i
was actually for reference i was emailing you back while using the computer with those in
it all right sick man okay take care
all right we've got one successful deal down yes
let's tell the rest of the system to go we can do it we can do it okay so you
know what now that we're at the sky train station
i think we should actually hang here for a bit
get on the computer and see if we can uh source source some leads here
so let's go find like a bench or something and uh let's hang for a bit
see okay every single time that i see a system deal i freak out because
it seems like it can't be worth it but i could not find anything cheaper than
that no you could find stuff that's cheaper but not with those specs yeah right
so we just stumbled across that so it's just crazy we stumbled across that ad
because i looked up computer case yeah okay so 6700k
is 450. yeah it was invented by ddr4 too
yeah it's expensive how how confident are you that Linus has
already messaged down these 1080s i'm sorry there's 980 ti's
pretty comfortable
510 would be a 6700k and 8 gigs of RAM
dude wait
that's not near us it's like way over there it's doable if we get that system
yeah
i think we should go forward with our original plan okay that's honestly where
i am only because it's it's together we're talking to him he's communicating
with us he's loading the car as we speak so it's guaranteed
that we have a working system i have one plus a hundred dollars
i think if we like yeah i think there's there's two different roads here we can
get the system and be moving because here's the thing
consider this those parts although not hard to get to are all in different
places cab or bus train in all these directions ten bucks five bucks five
bucks ten minutes right so the day how much do we have left versus knowing
we're gonna get all this for the price of one walk
and we haven't even touched our funds with the exception of 750 to him and we
still might have a little bit of bartering room in terms of like if he
recognizes us we can't do it but
the guy was already wanted to talk business on the phone we hadn't even met yet
yeah i don't know
so i think that's the only thing i'm a little concerned with is the ad said you
had two hard drives two two terabyte hard drives right there i've only got
one i've only got the one barracuda times
two yeah because i mean as you know capacity is
kind of a thing yeah when you're doing large video format
is this computer stay in here it's staying here with him yeah yeah
because what i can do where'd the little screws go right there what i can do is
drop that off to you later on
it'd probably be better for us if we could just get a few bucks off
for the missing drive if that would work i mean i don't really want to go down on
price to be honest with you you know i think it's still a pretty good deal for what it is
okay so we we can get that drive later though
yeah absolutely i can get you that drive later okay which way are you heading now
i am heading that way to towards richmond that's
in the direction we need to go i'm wondering if you maybe can drop us off
just a few blocks that way yeah that's the problem if i can slam you in here
we have room for brandon i don't think so i can stick two bodies in here oh
with this we'll have to leave this stuff in the back right i was really hoping
that we could get him down 50 bucks but he'd shot that out of the water
immediately then he showed up with uh one less hard drive than he said he had
when we were looking through the case and he wouldn't give us any cash he
wouldn't give us back any cash for that at all which sucked so we just literally
asked him like hey can you give us a ride back to where you need to go so we got the deal
a discount parts to sell and you give us a ride back to base
and unfortunately we left the cameraman behind i mean basically we have a complete
system that works here right now that now we can work backwards on to upgrade
where we need we sell a lot of budget left over we set up 537 no 587 left over
we have enough budget right now to get a 980 ti and an SSD to finish this system
out but it has a standard Intel box cooler
um 90 ti is probably not quite what we want it's got a it's got an ASUS
maximus board in it isn't it yeah we got we got a pretty wicked case we got an
optical drive we got like 16 gigs of RAM we got a gtx 660 we've got a 4770k an
Intel stock cooler three usb 3.0
expansion cards um
two monitors and i think that's it so we want to get
a cooler for it and we want to overclock it and just crank the CPU because that
would be awesome we want to try to sell some of the stuff like the monitors the
optical drive uh the two hard drives that we're getting with it possibly but
extremely low likeness the case because it's actually a really nice case and we
could spec that down and possibly get a gtx 1080 and
something like an h110i because there's one of those on sale right now if we can
do that we'd have a very overclockable system with a 1080 in it yeah i mean i'm
i would rather see us get a 1080 with the 4770 yeah than a 980 ti with a 6700
which is what we were kind of that was that was our conundrum here was
okay we could piece together a 6 700k within budget the parts were spread out
all over vancouver area yeah and who knows if we could how easily we
could have got them if one of those parts like if someone snatched the motherboard we might have been screwed
yeah if someone patched snatched the CPU we'd be screwed yeah and so it was just
too big of a risk to do that so i think the 1080 is going to be the right way to
go if we can get one yeah yeah so now it's time to get to
work we need to clean up this case because there's a lot of dust in it when you verify everything works verify
everything works take take the parts out that we want to sell get some pictures
of them flip things so we can afford that graphics card
i want to talk to high quality i7 guy here yeah so this is a 400 build
but has everything that we need but also some stuff that we don't but i recognize
the google maps location here i think i might have dealt with this guy before
which is not against the rules if he doesn't know who i am yeah sometimes the
human memory works in funny ways like i was pretty surprised with myself
that i saw a pin on a google maps thing on craigslist and
went you know what i think i've dealt with that guy in scrapyard wars before
um i'm calling about the uh the core i7
build that you have on craigslist
yeah um i was wondering is that all the stuff
you have or do you have other computer stuff as well and then i was 5x
surprised when i got on the phone with him and he
immediately is like i think i've dealt with you before about a year ago
i think i dealt with you one two four guy down in the west end bought a
computer off me oh
really yeah you're lying or something like that
oh all right yep
remember it was like a yeah ago ah yeah no actually i do remember that
believe it or not okay cool
um well now that um now that wait so
hold on a second i forget did did did you know me from anywhere else or just
from dealing with you on craigslist um i
yeah it's like that while you were the guy that does ncix kind of video stuff
okay well done i told you i recognized your voice because i i watched some of the
minus tech tips when you guys through because i buy myself at ncis
oh yeah that's right okay well the voice and of course i remember your
voice again the rules of our competition
dictate that i i can't use like you knowing who i am to to help me so i i
might tell you what can i just get a little bit of information like do you
are you able to part out any stuff or like um what do you want to steal out of it
well basically CPU motherboard um i was
wondering if you have more RAM actually like if you have another stick to make
it an even 12. are you talking about the
i7 uh the 960.
uh yeah i don't really want to part it out i want to start as a whole unit because i just thought so much
right uh well hold on let me let me pitch kind of this to you because i actually want
more RAM so if i could get another 4 gig stick of RAM that would be optimal
um and then the only actually thing i don't need is a GPU which is a 6870
that's a sellable GPU and
the power supply if you could upgrade it to something better
yeah i don't have anything better uh those came stock and i have zero
stuff left over um
the GPU i mean i could pull it out i mean
the RAM i mean like in terms of price i mean i could i
can't change the power supply because that's what it came with but i don't have it's actually pretty impressive i
remember like what is it it's like a 750 or something or 620 camera which is
which it's a high current gamer 620 and i need something better i'll end up
wasting that one better meaning what exactly i need like
a 750 i need something with four pci express connectors
okay uh well i do have another system with
the tx 750 and at the Corsair one
um let me just check it i think i have it let me just
double checked out
yeah of course their tx 750 you're right that's only two times eight pen as well
i think i'm not positive the tx 750 no that one might have four
do you have it next to you yeah that one might have four um
pci express connectors four it looks like it does have four
um okay and i mean would you say you're giving me a special deal in any way here
uh meaning what exactly if he doesn't give me a deal because of who i am
that is within the rules of scrapyard wars and i think we can all agree he
didn't give me a deal like like is this the same deal you would have done for
anyone else pretty much yeah uh another question for
you do you have the sli bridge that came with that Gigabyte board so i can give
you a bunch if you want i'll give you one up here because i can amass a whole
bunch of them so can i get back to you in the next uh
couple hours sure okay cool so um i think we like the
i7 better so it was the i7 with an upgrade to 12
gigs remove the graphics card change 620 to 750
and um and then
it's 20 bucks off yeah exactly got it okay thank you good
sir okay
so 800 bucks for our graphics cards 1273
for tomato and ham sandwiches beautiful sandwiches beautiful sandwiches the best
sandwiches i think the most fun part of today aside from getting a baller deal
on 980 tis had to be making sandwiches
on the back of a macbook pro on the bus
and then eating them it was actually great
the greatest um 8.40 cents for skytrain passes that's
totally unreasonable well that's just for one way we still have to get back we
still have yeah and like i don't want to walk back so there's that
um so so far we spent 820
we actually only have 515 left
so if we buy the 375 system yeah that
covers all of our remaining hardware no
it doesn't no because we still need it comes with a power supply an SSD no it
hasn't this is d no it doesn't they've sold 140 bucks for an SSD here
we might have to like hike for it like what what are ssds going for i
would hike for this is the man here 120 gig
only 72.67 you can get two of those or
two cheap ones or one we run okay wait a minute
okay what are you thinking am i picking up what you're throwing down we show up
with dual graphics cards in sli
and dual ssds and rate oh great yeah
i actually kind of i kind of like that idea
mind you this patriot blaze is only 80 bucks and it's 240 gigs in
downtown vancouver which is exactly where we're going perfect so that's
another and it was posted two days ago so it's fresh
should we should we go for the uh
we could be done scrap yard wars in one day but then what
are we gonna do for the rest of the time build it
oh we can explore the city because so it would just be Linus and dimitri go on
adventures for two as long as we have a budget for like extra ham and tomato
then i'm good and some bus tickets you know what i mean
because otherwise we're just walking everywhere yeah uphill downhill yeah
that's true but we wouldn't have to carry anything because our computer
would be built and benchmarked right
and the funny thing is is we could troll those guys so hard
because we'd be like yeah so like our system's done because i always say that
and my system's never actually done so this will be the first time you can
say that well hopefully we haven't gotten all the parts yeah we don't actually have any of it yet okay i'll
tell you what this SSD deal here this patriot blaze
actually looks pretty darn good um
like do you see any have you seen anything that good 80 bucks that's good
plus that leaves us what 40 bucks left over here let me fill it into the sheet
so i don't have to cut take out my calculator no
so that leaves us 60 dollars to get to downtown we cannot feast
and we we could afford subway
but should we no we should go we should go to the uh the
grocery store and we should get lettuce and tomato and some
avocados in there avocados
the thing is i like what this guy's offering because that way
it's like an all encompassing package
yeah that definitely has value built into it
power supply case motherboard CPU cooler
it's a stock cooler well it's not a great cooler we won't be able to
overclock much if at all should i lowball the 80 SSD or should i just
offer asking price we can't afford it we don't want to lose it let's do let's see
if he if he's willing to do 70 bucks yeah okay
shoot if we want to do this sli thing we
really are limiting our options so should we list one of them now
let's do it let's do it let's list one just to see
if we can get some money for it in case we can't
yeah let's list it how much should we list it for it 450
oh i got a message from let go somebody messaged me
what already is the price negotiable this is for the GPU we just posted like
even if we make like 30 bucks on this we make money
you guys already know dbrand they make the precision cut vinyl skins that make
your phone look nice and protect it from incidental scuffs and scratches but
today no no not that today is something
new this is the grip and it's not just another
phone case it is the grippiest phone
case that you have ever seen
and it's got this super cool like
patented impact protection technology
that works super awesome and it's fully integrated with dbrand's customization
meaning that you can use any dbrand skin with your grip so check it out today
we've got it linked in the video description
someone wants to buy both monitors already my heart is pumping because the
way he yelled i was like he broke something no no no i'm just not even
done taking it apart yet like i got the text i assumed it was the
guy bringing the hard drive yeah so he wants to buy both for 100 125
where is he at and can he come to us usually buyers have to go to the buyer
or the seller so so just say sure
yeah or what did we list them at 75 are best offer each so 100 special deal for
both remember we said we'd take 50 each that's 25 more than we agreed no
i saw this one was like hell yeah because we only need for my like
mystical specked up number that i came up with we only need a hundred and forty
eight and we still have the graphics card to sell hello okay thank you no
problem oh yes yes yeah one of them's open we
just tried it right now too do you have this uh reaching with your cable right
within that first hour the guy was here and picked them up and off they were going
and we've already got buyers lined up for both hard drives that was that was
like that was the most important part that had to happen for this deal to make
sense so now we are literally
like so far ahead of the game because we now have the funds for 1080. if we okay
so gtx 1080 is definitely on the table now based on pricing that we've seen
already we were trying to maybe haggle or or
really lowball some 1080 ti's out there but that's not going to happen but we're going to have money left over at this
point so i think we're thinking like we'll go do
something fun when do we end today
although communications can end at 6 30.
can someone come buy something at 6 30 that's a form of communication but we
started so we're communicating we're not going anywhere
that's a form of communication come on come on come on
what time do you want to come by he wants to come at 6 30.
i mean you can ask lions i mean that's production problem not ours well that's
obviously not gonna work
that's worked before come here everyone's always extending them come on
no they haven't what call them and ask hey man can we how do
you feel about extending the pickup today i'm just gonna ask the guy if he can be here by six he's probably gonna
say no it's 19 minutes yo can we go like 10-15 minutes overtime because uh we
started late can we go to like 6
15 6 20 because we started late
oh i don't know i mean it seems like you know whenever i'm asking for mercy uh
you actually you know what i ca i can't i can't really i can't really argue this
you're usually pretty good about it i mean you know we're gonna be back on
time but uh you know okay sure yeah
you know it it's never worked out badly for me
to to go easy on the other team
that means that they owe us a chip as well yeah you got and yeah that means
you guys owe us a 15 minute 20 minute over overage with interest
with interest give me an extra two minutes and i'm talking like payday loan
interest okay so no then because it doesn't matter that much
yeah no then we'll keep it six o'clock all right never mind see you later
credit card interest credit card interest
they're gonna do it anyway yeah it's nice that you asked yeah it's
nice of them to ask see if that guy's available tomorrow i'm
going to so if he gave us 15 he'd want an hour
and the thing is he'd be able to use it for a much more opportune thing than
like selling a hard drive for 15 bucks yeah
now if it was if it was this for 50 or 60 it'd be a little bit i'd care a
little more yeah i don't really care about that
hey it's nick i was just wondering when uh you're coming by to drop off that
hard drive uh we have to leave
sorry yeah we have to head out fairly soon uh i know you said you're gonna be
by in like a few minutes and it's been i think an hour or so now two hours uh so yeah
just wondering what's going on thank you bye
okay i might have been over hyping dimitri as a partner a little bit before
um he kept bitching about wanting water like like oh oh we should get water oh
can we stop for water i'm like you ate a tomato tomatoes are basically water
expensive water okay Linus let's get a water before we buy tickets
it's gonna be like three bucks like he actually wanted to stop and get
water at a convenience store at a sky train station that would have been like
four dollar water it would have been fancy fuji water
just like nestle water anyway i denied him the water now that i'm cheap or that
i want to meet you to suffer it's just that i don't want to spend the money and
demetrius suffering matters less to me than spending the money i see yeah
totally different okay what the hell man i need my water
so we found some really good price motherboards
um x58 platform yeah sli compatible sli
compatible for for 90 bucks and then we're looking for cpus for that
motherboard yeah under 100 bucks yeah i found something for 80 bucks cpus for
1366 easy to find motherboards not so
easy to find but i haven't heard anything from the
SSD guy but i have an update for you
i heard back uh off craigslist already
from someone looking for the 980 ti but what i'd like to do if we can
is part together in x58 platform i also have a lead on a six core
CPU the guy wants 230 for it i'm going to try and convince him that's way too
much and go from there hello um i'm calling about the uh the
computer parts for sale from your criticism
uh yeah hi um i'm particularly
interested in the motherboard the Gigabyte ex58
yeah and the the RAM the 16 gigabytes plus the cooler
the h50 aaa is it uh is it still available
um
see we already have the CPU and uh don't
need the graphics card or the case any chance you're
willing to uh just do some parts
i mean they're kind of left on their own
as a whole unit
okay um okay then thank you
all right don't worry so this is a uh
an i7 or i5 750.
hyper 612 cooler overclock overclocking capable sli
motherboard 16 gigs of RAM um we could probably ask for a little
bit off for this crappy 4850 and they're going out of town on thursday so they
need a quick sale we might be able to lowball this
so this could be a really good fit for us with our sli graphics cards
especially because the spacing fits perfectly yeah so ed just called me with some cryptic
nonsense about being late we're like seven minutes behind
and only due to the sky train having issues today yeah
but do you think that maybe when they called us and they said they need 15
more minutes they implied that maybe we would be late because of that as well
i don't know i doubt it
he's lazy he's late he didn't ask okay it's not
that you want more right now it's that you want more from Linus yeah you want
yeah you want him to he was a jerk on the phone we needed some time he said no
now he's late without calling and asking i'm okay with it because we called and
asked for a little bit of leniency on the time right there is that deal we're trying to work out there wasn't going to
be enough time we were talking a matter of minutes just a couple of minutes we had 10 minutes tops okay so i just heard
back from the guy with the 950 okay uh
yes we have the CPU well he's agreed to the
price it's still available okay
what the heck is going on over there the weirdest part of the day for me was
definitely coming back and like everyone waiting outside like i was
expecting some kind of like hugely impactful dramatic moment
like my bike got towed or something how's it going great so how wrecked do
you get for that not at all yeah absolutely actually you
weren't here on time yeah so you guys were asking us for 20
minutes yeah and you didn't give it to me what we didn't take i did no we
haven't he said okay never mind i have a recording he said okay never mind and we
have the phone because it doesn't matter that much yeah no then we'll keep it six o'clock
all right never mind see you later and then we canceled the deal yeah nice
try though and then they were just like whining
because we had said we wanted extra time with interest and
we were like joking with them so what exactly do you want i don't know
you can get 20 minutes you take more money
what no or like an hour and a half extra or something
now and a half extra yeah i mean we had a significant event that we could have
done and you guys said no i think an hour works
i think that if the event was that significant they
would have fought harder for it at the end of the day i was absolutely looking for extra time uh we had lined up a sale
for a hard drive that we wanted to get off our hands because we want to sell all this stuff as fast as we can
i added some margin of error because a lot of people are late to things so i
was like okay 6 15 6 20. so i asked for time until 6 15 or 6 20 and that was
denied so you cheated already what do you mean
cheated it's been one day you said you'd be back on time i was very good-natured
about it i actually don't know what you're talking about because crap yard wars has almost never ended exactly on
time because of you and it's been fairly typical for you to be late you were late
when you were the last person here today
right because i didn't get told the address because you didn't ask
i graciously gave them their hour that they asked for and i had a totally good
attitude about it so take your hour
all right when we were speaking with the other team about giving them the 15 minutes
that they needed that they were asking for i think they
they overreacted in the the hanging up process which we didn't even realize
happened because in a loud bus station
environment
all right all right credit card interest credit card interest
so we kept talking to the phone not realizing that they hang up on us
so uh i think it just kind of a
miscommunication on both sides in terms of what happened
this is a regular phone this is a gripped phone this is
for comedic effect so get a grip coming soon available at
the link in the video description love our videos and want to see them sooner
join flow plane at the link in the video description it's got the next episode of
scrapyard wars
