WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.319 Welcome to Scrapyard Wars 2 episode a 00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:11.040 part one. Yeah, that's how it's going to be. So today we've got a new challenge. 00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:15.519 Instead of just building a budget PC, we're going to build a budget PC and 00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:20.760 then we're going to water cool it. We're going to have a full budget of $500. 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:27.080 $300 for our computer and a maximum of $200 for the water cooling parts. But 00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:30.400 there's a twist. We cannot use any 00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:32.960 offthe-shelf PC water cooling gear. 00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:37.120 Nada. So, it'll be judged in five sections. One, creativity. Two, 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:40.800 effectiveness. Three, aesthetics. Four, acoustics. And then five is just 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:45.200 overall. We're going to have a few ground rules as usual. So, number one is 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:49.360 it's tower only. We don't have to source a monitor and keyboard and mouse. Number 00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:52.079 two is that there's no pre-work or in between work. We weren't allowed doing 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:57.280 research before the event, and we're not allowed doing research like after work or anything. And number three is going 00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:01.280 to get a bit of a curveball this time. Last time we said no help from friends, 00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:06.240 family, co-workers, social media contacts, whatever. This time we're 00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:12.159 going to allow it, but the panel of judges has been instructed that they are 00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:14.159 to deduct points from us depending on 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:18.960 how much we take advantage of anyone other than our own wits. And last isn't 00:01:17.759 --> 00:01:24.000 really rules, but we're just going to define what constitutes as a water cooling component. So there's cooling 00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:27.840 blocks. So, your CPU water block or potentially GPU water block or whatever 00:01:25.759 --> 00:01:34.320 the heck else you decide to cool. Um, fittings, tubing, radiators, fans, 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:36.240 pumps, reservoirs, or the coolant. 00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:44.520 So, that's it. Let's get started, shall we? Yeah. Scrapyard 00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:44.520 Wars. Scrapyard Wars. 00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:56.840 The time is now 2:30. Go before we start. All right, you can count it. I 00:01:50.799 --> 00:02:02.320 know mine's right. 12 9 13 9 8 7 12 15 00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:05.040 28 13 12 17 Okay, 00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:07.640 we are just going to charge on out of here as if we have some idea what's 00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:11.319 going on. Let's just wave by. He's leaving. 00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:16.720 All right, I'm not going to look at him. I'm going to let him waste time by harming 00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:20.280 at me. Are they ignoring us? It's okay. We'll get their attention. 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:31.080 They're gone. I think they're 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.080 gone. 00:02:36.519 --> 00:02:42.519 Bye. I kind of have a plan for this 00:02:39.640 --> 00:02:48.640 video. There is no performance judgment criteria. So, it 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:54.640 actually doesn't matter what PC that we decide to use. So, instead of stressing 00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:58.319 out about building a great PC, I'm going 00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:00.160 to go straight for water cooling parts 00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:06.840 and I'm just going to kind of water cool whatever PC I find. Something that's 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:09.920 actually critical for me is the lifeline 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:12.400 component. Unlike Luke, I am planning to 00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:19.040 use the lifeline. And in fact, my strategy hinged on it so much that I was 00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:22.800 very, very afraid we weren't going to allow them. So Luke and I disagreed 00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:28.720 strongly about whether we should be allowed to have any kind of outside 00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:30.560 help. I said yes, he said no. And Nick 00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:34.640 was actually the one who saved my bacon here by settling it and saying, "Okay, 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:39.680 it should be allowed, but the judges should factor it in because I have a 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:44.000 neighbor who might be able to help me a little bit with this." Even though I 00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:49.480 know that I'm giving Luke the ability to leverage his dad, who is crazy handy and 00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:56.480 has a lot of tools, I want to find a 00:03:53.879 --> 00:04:00.799 uh a computer really quick so I can figure out the hole layout for the 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:04.879 socket so that I can try to start making blocks pretty much immediately. Um, so I 00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:10.560 don't want to spend a ton of time looking for a computer. 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:16.680 Uh, but I don't want it to be like garbage either. I'm going to go to 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:19.120 probably an auto junkyard to find my 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:24.120 radiator. I'm heading to the pet store now for my pump. I really don't have a 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:30.000 plan in terms of the reservoir, but I'm hoping that um that I 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:35.120 can come up with some kind of a good idea as far as that's concerned. And 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:39.560 then the blocks, the blocks are going to be the challenge. And that's where my 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:46.160 neighbor comes in. He has a CNC mill. So, we are going to try to 00:04:42.479 --> 00:04:50.800 actually make a CPU block, like a decent 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:53.840 CPU block and a full cover GPU block. 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:56.400 That is the plan right now. So, let's 00:04:53.840 --> 00:05:03.600 get some trash talk going early. Hey, you suck, lol. Yeah, take that, Luke. 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:08.919 What a dick. I'm not going to play his silly little games. Time to be a man. 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:15.960 Okay, so we're looking at pumps and 00:05:11.320 --> 00:05:19.199 uh these are all air pumps. Okay, 00:05:15.960 --> 00:05:20.800 then. Okay, so unfortunately they are 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:24.680 doing some recajjiggering of their inventory and the only one they have is 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:28.639 this one right here which is like 80 bucks. But they suggested that maybe if 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:32.320 we go to Canadian Tire we can find something. I am interested in finding 00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:38.000 something that's submersible though since one of the judgment categories is 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:42.800 acoustics and having a submersible pump will make my system very 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:45.520 quiet. So that yeah won't help me for 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:49.600 now though. I mean really we're not going about this the most efficient 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:53.280 possible way right now. But frankly I'm not that concerned. We've got 3 days to 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:58.160 pretty much build and water cool a computer and not get run over. 00:05:55.720 --> 00:06:03.600 So I don't know. Maybe I should be more worried. But I think we got this. Hi 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:07.520 there. I saw your gaming tower ad on Craigslist. 00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:13.800 Um, I was just wondering if you could give me a deal if I didn't take the 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.800 monitor, keyboard, or mouse. 00:06:14.840 --> 00:06:21.919 Um, yeah, I can let it go, I don't know, 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:26.000 200 bucks. Two two something. 00:06:21.919 --> 00:06:29.120 200. Yeah. Yeah, I could do 200. Okay. 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:32.120 Uh, can I come pick it up right now? 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:35.600 Cool. So, he has 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:37.440 a it's a classic case as you can see 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:41.680 there. You guys, I'm going to turn the monitor like that. Um, some of you guys 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:46.080 remember that case maybe from a long time ago. It's not the greatest looking case, but it's a classic case. He does 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:49.639 have a graphics card in it, but it's super boring. Um, it's not the most 00:06:48.400 --> 00:06:55.120 interesting thing ever, but it'll work. And I got it for 00:06:52.080 --> 00:06:57.520 200 bucks. So, I have $100 to splurge on 00:06:55.120 --> 00:07:01.280 potentially an old graphics card that looks nice and potentially a better case 00:06:59.599 --> 00:07:06.080 cuz I saw some cases on there that were like 40 bucks and uh looks really nice. 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:10.160 I don't want to do something as ghetto as like a sawoff milk jug. 00:07:10.280 --> 00:07:17.520 But yeah, I don't know what to use. Maybe like um maybe like one of those 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:22.800 big gulp drink containers on the top with like like fittings coming down into 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:28.319 the system or something. Why not one of those uh little goldfish aquarium things 00:07:26.880 --> 00:07:32.720 that are like terrible that you shouldn't use? But should I put a 00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:37.520 goldfish in my loop and a filter? We could store our goldfish in one of 00:07:34.039 --> 00:07:40.120 these. Seems harmless. Okay, so here's a 00:07:37.520 --> 00:07:46.800 submersible pump. $110. That would be literally over half 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:48.199 of our budget. Um there's cheaper stuff 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:54.160 here, but like the cheapest Oh, no. at Oh, okay. 00:07:52.479 --> 00:08:00.720 Hold on a second. The cheapest one is $13. But if that's the kind of flow rate 00:07:56.080 --> 00:08:00.720 we're talking about and only a one-year 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:11.039 warranty, but then 20 bucks get us 70 gets us 75 gallons per hour. You know 00:08:09.520 --> 00:08:15.759 what? We should remember this. I'm not going to buy it now, but that actually 00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:21.520 may be a solution. whenever he's going to do something that's like cheating or 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:29.280 borderline cheating, uh, he usually makes sure that there's very defined 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:31.039 rules around it. Um, so that he knows 00:08:29.280 --> 00:08:38.039 specifically how he can go around those rules. So, I'm wondering if he's going 00:08:33.800 --> 00:08:41.599 to just try to find things that 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:43.760 are essentially the same but are not 00:08:41.599 --> 00:08:46.880 technically for water cooling. I might. Yeah, I might source another graphics 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:51.200 card. I might source a new case. Although, this is a fairly classic case. 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:54.240 So, I might also stick with this guy. There's also a bit of metal and I'm 00:08:52.640 --> 00:09:01.600 going to be modding it quite heavily. So, there you go. Feel free to 00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:03.760 count. Okay, so this thing sucks, but 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:07.839 there's a lot of metal, which I'm actually super down with. 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:14.160 But getting a better graphics card at this point is going to be a little sketchy because I was pretty sure in his 00:09:12.160 --> 00:09:17.560 ad, I could totally be wrong, but I was pretty sure in his ad I'm going to put 00:09:15.839 --> 00:09:25.040 this in the back. Um, that he showed a 750 watt power 00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:29.279 supply. That might have been the other computer I was looking at. Oh well, I'll 00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:32.880 figure it out. Maybe no new graphics card. Probably new case cuz that one's 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:37.320 actually fairly scratched up. Um, so we're going to go home and try to go to 00:09:36.160 --> 00:09:43.240 Princess Auto because if I can get a block working for 00:09:41.920 --> 00:09:47.720 the CPU and like that that's going to be the 00:09:45.680 --> 00:09:53.440 hardest thing. So, if I can source some materials and start trying to make a 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:57.600 block work at all um, and I'll just make it for the CPU, 00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:01.839 then I'll then I'll know that I have the methodology down. Then I should be able 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:07.360 to do it again for the graphics card. I'll just do one at once and then try to 00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:09.200 reproduce that instead of trying to deal 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:15.920 with getting two of them working at the exact same time. Okay, so the last real 00:10:12.640 --> 00:10:17.760 store I want to go to before I start um 00:10:15.920 --> 00:10:22.040 calling places and browsing online is Home Depot, just cuz I think this is 00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:26.640 where I can probably find the tubing I need. 00:10:23.959 --> 00:10:29.279 And that's the one piece of the puzzle where I'm not even sure if I'm going to 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:33.839 be able to find it used. So, I need to know how much that costs before I shop 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:36.560 for everything else. So, that whole strategy where you leave your car 00:10:35.040 --> 00:10:41.760 unlocked cuz there's nothing valuable in it anyway only works if you don't leave 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:45.200 your like razor blade in your car. 00:10:41.760 --> 00:10:47.040 They're like not that crazy expensive. 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:52.320 Like this. This could work. Uh if I decide to bail on the on the reservoir 00:10:49.680 --> 00:10:57.920 outright, then I've got my tea line. So, that's only uh 250 here at Home Depot. 00:10:55.680 --> 00:11:02.320 So, it's time to do some napkin math. Let's figure out how much we know we're 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:09.600 spending and then how much we have we have left to spend. So, um, so buying 00:11:05.880 --> 00:11:11.200 new, we need 20 here. We need about 10 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:15.040 here. Actually, we should call that 25 cuz of tax. Uh, reservoir. You know 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:21.640 what? I think I'm going to lock into the Tline. So, that gives us about 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:25.920 $150 for radiator. So, pump. We can get away with 00:11:24.160 --> 00:11:28.600 saving one by getting us Oh, no. Can't have a submersible pump now because of 00:11:27.760 --> 00:11:35.320 the rez. Oh, we need to obtain a reservoir 00:11:32.880 --> 00:11:39.680 if we use a submersible pump. 00:11:37.160 --> 00:11:43.839 Shoot. So, Canadian Tire really didn't like us. We got threatened to be thrown 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:47.760 in court. So, all that footage is going to be thrown away. But basically, 00:11:45.839 --> 00:11:54.160 they're actually super helpful auto parts guy got me a part number for their 00:11:50.880 --> 00:11:55.600 cheapest radiator, which is $108. So, 00:11:54.160 --> 00:11:59.519 that's Not that cheap, but could be workable in 00:11:57.680 --> 00:12:06.240 the budget. I know the pump that I'm looking for is also about 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:08.079 $4550. So, that's 150 bucks out of my 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:16.040 budget right there. And I would still need metal and fittings and a fish 00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:19.839 tank and tubing. 00:12:16.040 --> 00:12:21.600 So, I probably can't afford all of that. 00:12:19.839 --> 00:12:24.680 I didn't think the radiator was going to be hard. 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:31.279 Um, so I would be looking for something fairly inexpensive, but and preferably 00:12:29.040 --> 00:12:36.320 with a fan already on it, but I'm not super picky about what exactly it is. 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:39.360 See, radiator core for $25. I'd be looking for a car radiator, but I just I 00:12:38.079 --> 00:12:45.120 don't really care which one it is. I'd just be looking for something relatively small, 00:12:42.680 --> 00:12:51.279 like, do you guys have any salvage radiators that I could pick up? Yeah, I 00:12:48.079 --> 00:12:52.959 got a bunch of them. Oh, really? Wow. 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:56.880 You're the you're the first person with good news that I've talked to in the 00:12:54.480 --> 00:13:00.240 last hour. Um, what would I be looking at for 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:05.839 something like that? I don't have a huge budget for it. $150 or any kind of 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:10.720 thing, but uh, since you're not really fluffy as to what radiator, I'm sure I 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:15.200 can dig something out for 50 bucks. Okay. All right. Thank you so much. 00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:21.279 Copper pipe. Oh, here's some 20 bucks. 1/2 in half inch gas pipe new. Okay. 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:26.320 Let's let's just let's call. Hi, I'm calling about the copper pipe and I mean 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:32.800 is there anything wrong with it? No, it's brand new. Okay, wonderful. Thank 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:35.279 you very much. 30 to 50 ft. That could 00:13:32.800 --> 00:13:40.399 work. So, here's where we're at. We've got two leads on PCs. The plan with the 00:13:37.839 --> 00:13:45.839 copper tube is that I'm basically just going to like bend it up and jam it 00:13:43.920 --> 00:13:50.320 inside the case so that it can take advantage of any of the air flow that's 00:13:48.160 --> 00:13:56.560 already coming through the case to cool the CPU and and hopefully the GPU. So, 00:13:54.639 --> 00:14:03.040 there it is. There's our there's our copper copper tubing. So, in terms of 00:14:00.760 --> 00:14:08.160 bendability, it looks like I will be able to hand bend it. I don't know with 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:13.600 what amount of precision. We have our first part. Again, I'm not too concerned 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:19.600 about the PC. And we have one cooling component with leads on most of the 00:14:15.880 --> 00:14:19.600 rest. It was a good day 00:14:20.040 --> 00:14:28.079 today. Oh, I just realized I'm going to have a 00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:32.320 mixed metal loop. I was planning to use a heater core or something, which is a 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:36.839 lot of them are made of aluminum. And then I was planning to make aluminum 00:14:33.959 --> 00:14:41.880 blocks. Now that I have the copper tubing, I'm gonna have to budget for 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:46.639 some kind of uh corrosion inhibitor. The judges probably won't 00:14:44.079 --> 00:14:51.360 know that anyway. Next time on Scrapyard Wars, Lionus 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:55.360 whips it out. Oh my goodness, it's so long. And Luke comes into a serious 00:14:53.440 --> 00:15:09.390 situation with the Dremel tool. He always had three fingers, right?
