1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,040 We're going to build a budget PC and then we're going to water cool it. We're 2 00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:13,120 going to have a full budget of $500, $300 for our computer and a maximum of 3 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:16,119 $200 for the water cooling parts. But 4 00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:24,240 there's a twist. We cannot use any offtheshelf PC water cooling gear. Nada. 5 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:28,400 Yeah. Scrapyard Wars. 6 00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:30,880 Scrapyard Wars 2. The scrapping. 7 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:36,000 I yell over to Taran to tell Brandon that I need him to get the camera ready 8 00:00:32,559 --> 00:00:38,000 so we can go. Um, and that never 9 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,040 happened. Brandon was never told. We're leaving now. It's about 12:30. Yeah. So, 10 00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:46,719 we're late. Okay. So, my first hit for Aluminum Block Vancouver is from 11 00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:51,399 Hardware Conucks. One of the first, good old Sugar J. One of the first 12 00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:54,559 recommendations is Metal Mart. So, 13 00:00:51,399 --> 00:00:56,320 Vancouver in the suburb of Langley. 14 00:00:54,559 --> 00:00:59,399 Yeah, boy. We're practically sitting on one of 15 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:04,320 their locations. Okay. Awesome. All right. So, 16 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:09,880 here's what we're trying to do. We want to make a um a cooling block for a 17 00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:14,159 computer component. There we go. Can you give me 18 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:20,159 some idea of what we'd be looking at for like a block of aluminum? Maybe yay yay 19 00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:22,880 thick. Maybe yay big or Yeah. Like what 20 00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:27,600 does that cost? Well, is that the like cheapo scrap bin? But 21 00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:30,720 there's things like that. Yeah, that that's the one I actually saw right when 22 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:36,000 I walked in and I thought that looks pretty appealing. Yeah. Okay. I need it 23 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,840 today. And this is thick enough. So, um 24 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:45,320 So, like do you just sell it by the length or sell you 5 in or whatever you 25 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,320 want? So, how much does it cost? 26 00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:52,720 I wasn't even able to pick that stupid thing up when I looked at it. And is 27 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:58,159 there a particular grade or like alloy that it is or Yeah. 28 00:01:54,600 --> 00:02:01,759 6061 uh T6 alloy. Uh-huh. So, um that 29 00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:05,680 meant nothing to me. It's uh it's 30 00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:08,399 machinable um weldable. It's uh like a 31 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:13,440 structural type of aluminum. Okay. Um Okay. 32 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,440 Yeah. It's pretty decent quality. Pretty 33 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:21,120 decent qual. What a sales pitch. I like this guy. I didn't even know shops like 34 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,000 this existed. Just like here's a 35 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:29,440 ginormous metal rod. So 5 in would cost $661 after tax. 36 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:37,040 $6.61. Wow. It's uh 1475 foot. Not bad. Okay. 37 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:42,959 Um and then you guys have a charge for for cuts, right? First cut on that is 38 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:48,080 free. Every cut after is a dollar. Okay. Um hey, that's very reasonable. 39 00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:53,280 Okay. Can I can I have a couple minutes with a napkin and a pen and kind of um 40 00:02:50,800 --> 00:03:00,800 figure out what exactly I need? Yep. Fantastic. Thank you. Okay, 41 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,720 so CPU block. There's a couple different 42 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:09,519 ways we can go about this. We could go really small like the older Nexos Alpha 43 00:03:06,239 --> 00:03:12,080 Cool blocks um that were only about yay 44 00:03:09,519 --> 00:03:14,239 big, but what I worry about is we wouldn't 45 00:03:17,959 --> 00:03:24,080 be with the camera. 46 00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:27,080 Lionus is here. They're here. They're here. 47 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:35,360 Well, I'm just going to hide this diagram. What's in there? Nothing. 48 00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:39,159 What's that? See you later. What is it? Bye. Show me. 49 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:45,640 This isn't awkward at all. I wonder what we're both doing. 50 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:56,000 Well, I guess we're going to we're going to we're going to get what we're getting 51 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:59,360 and then get out of here cuz if you give us 5 minutes, we're pretty 52 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:06,760 much we're allowed to stay in the store. Pretty much it. 53 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,760 Wow. All right. 54 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,430 We'll be we'll be back. We'll be back later then cuz I can't give away too 55 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,779 much of my plan. 56 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:27,440 You're leaving, too? Oh. Oh, I see. I 57 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:31,240 see. All right. All right. I'll see 58 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:38,120 you. Well, he's found a source for metal. We know this much. 59 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:44,479 Okay. So, I saw online that you guys could do fabrication. Not this location. 60 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:48,800 Not this location. Porks. Porks. Okay, that's fine. If I asked them, if I 61 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:54,160 showed them this, could they make me a plate with a little pod on it? Can I get 62 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:57,280 one? Probably. Yep. Um, what kind of 63 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,880 pod? It's I was looking for a copper 64 00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:03,520 plate with holes through it so I could go through there. And then just any form 65 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:07,280 of dome pod that would go over top of the CPU. 66 00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:10,960 You have to ask them. Um, it sounds like something they could do. They're pretty 67 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:15,520 talented up there. So, so Port Kels, can you give me the address manager? 68 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:19,919 I think we just saw Brandon and Luke on the road, but it couldn't be, you know. 69 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,720 H, no, we're not going to chase them. I think they're heading to Home Depot, 70 00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:27,720 though. That's okay. We've already been to Home 71 00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:30,960 Depot. Yeah. Well, I I have. You 72 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,960 haven't. All right. So, they're making 73 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:37,759 progress then. Oh, ball sack. This might be one 74 00:05:35,039 --> 00:05:42,919 of the ones I really liked. Oh, but I can't get it till after five. Which one 75 00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:44,600 is this? Never been overclocked. It's a 76 00:05:42,919 --> 00:05:50,600 ble 150. You know what? You know what? This 77 00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:53,199 isn't a in a Sonata 3 case. 78 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:57,680 Um, it's it's by the time we put a graphics card in it. Oh, we could afford 79 00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:01,520 a better graphics card though than the one we're about to go. We're just going 80 00:05:59,919 --> 00:06:06,080 to go see it. Yeah, we're going to go we're going to go see it. And you know 81 00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:11,000 what though? Barring anything unforeseen, I'm just going to grab it, I 82 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000 think. 83 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,560 Oh, we're getting pulled over. So, I know you're you're touching your phone, 84 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:25,960 which you can't do while you drive. Yes, sir. Super duper don't know. 85 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:39,759 Here for a Craigslist computer pickup. 86 00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:41,880 So, this is it, you say? 87 00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:46,120 This is an X58 based system. I did not see that one 88 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:54,000 coming. This is what we're going to be dealing 89 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:56,160 with. This card shouldn't be a problem. 90 00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:01,360 Um although it's a really good thing that we didn't go and pick out a chunk 91 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:07,360 of aluminum for our CPU cooler based on an LGA75 socket size because this is 92 00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:10,120 using LGA 1366. 93 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:14,960 Does it have a front fan in it or not? It does not. We are not going to 94 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:20,400 have a lot of air flow. So, I'm going to have to get really creative about how I 95 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:24,960 jam all of this in there to even have 96 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:27,759 any chance of cooling this thing. Okay. 97 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:33,520 Well, there you go. That's that's pretty much all of our PC budget right there. 98 00:07:30,479 --> 00:07:36,080 The rest we have is cooling budget. Uh 99 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:43,720 you might want to count it. Yep. That is one 100 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:46,960 rancid front filter. Oh. 101 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:49,880 Whoa. Ready? I'm going to do it. Don't 102 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:55,759 be downwind. Which way is downwind? That way. 103 00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:58,879 Oh. Oh, it's going back to the computer. 104 00:07:55,759 --> 00:07:58,879 No. Get away from my 105 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:05,280 car. Oh, look at that. It's a feather. 106 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:11,280 There's a feather. the cooling for the CPU itself. Yeah. If 107 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:16,639 I just got a small amount of metal from you guys in a sheet um that I could put 108 00:08:14,479 --> 00:08:21,199 on, could I just essentially epoxy a cap on there? Would that be 109 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:25,039 fine? The cost of fabrication was high, although that totally makes sense. 110 00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:28,720 That's what they do here. Um, so getting it welded is probably not an option 111 00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:35,000 right now. That would be super cool if I was doing this on my own and had more than a $200 budget, but I don't. So, I'm 112 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:38,159 going to fall back to the JB Weld solution. So, this probably sounds 113 00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:42,719 terrible because it looks like they're cutting my sheet probably right there, 114 00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:47,279 actually. Um, so I'm getting a copper sheet, little blocks of copper. It's 115 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,959 super cheap just to cut it. So, that's pretty nice. And then I'm going to have 116 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:56,399 to kind of cut it to size my own, drill the holes myself, and then I'm going to 117 00:08:53,519 --> 00:09:03,760 hopefully find a copper or aluminum cap of some sort at uh Home Depot or 118 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:06,800 something. So, I just got in total the 119 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,959 copper plate for about six bucks. Um, 120 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:13,600 only because he had to sell it to me at a minimum quantity. Um, I didn't know 121 00:09:11,839 --> 00:09:17,839 that until he was tilling me out. So, I probably should have just got more just 122 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:20,240 in case, but I didn't. So, oh well, I'll figure it out. I need more. It's not 123 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:24,480 that big of a deal. It wasn't that expensive. Um, and I'm sure if I go back 124 00:09:22,959 --> 00:09:30,720 there, I can be like, "Here's the invoice. You charged me for half a pound. I only got 125 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:33,680 like.125 of a pound. Can you just give 126 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:39,040 me some more? And it might be fine. The cap cost about $2.75. Copper cap. It's 127 00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:42,000 gross. I'm going to have to clean that up. But that's no problem. I'm not 128 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:47,120 worried about reservoir. I'm going to pretty much ignore reservoir as of right 129 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:50,800 now because I can just do the fallback 130 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:54,080 of like going to Safeway and buying a $1 131 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,760 2 L bottle of pop um and just like 132 00:09:54,080 --> 00:10:00,240 pouring the pop out, cleaning it up, and then using that as a reservoir. But pump 133 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:05,240 and radiator is going to be a pretty serious problem. Um, radiator is going 134 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:09,440 to be expensive and large. So, there's the idea of just 135 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:13,200 buying a car radiator and there's also the idea of doing the copper coil thing, 136 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,880 but I'd kind of rather not. But, I'm going to buy a copper coil right now so 137 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:21,120 that I can cut it up and use parts of it. So, I guess we'll see what happens 138 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:25,839 from that. So, I got my copper tubing that I was looking for. This should be 139 00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:31,279 small enough to fit into that cap that I was talking about. And it's actually 140 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:35,040 fairly flexible. So, I got a fair amount of it cuz it's not too expensive. And 141 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:39,920 I'm going to try to just use it as all my tubing. Um because that would 142 00:10:38,079 --> 00:10:47,200 actually be be kind of nice because if I can just JB weld this into my blocks and 143 00:10:45,079 --> 00:10:51,360 whatnot, then I can save money on fittings, which would be pretty sick. 144 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:54,399 But kind of funny story, while while I was in there, I wanted to ask if Brandon 145 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,920 could come in and film, and there was no one for me to ask. I couldn't find any 146 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:02,880 employees anywhere, which is fine. It's a more of a self-s served store and 147 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:08,320 we're in, uh, Princess Auto, by the way. So, um, I get up to the teller and I go 148 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:11,440 to buy my whole big roll of copper tubing and she's like, "Oh, did you get 149 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,839 it cut?" I'm like, "Oh, no, no, I just wanted to get all of it." And she's 150 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:18,880 like, "Oh, you should get it cut." So, I go back to get it cut. Some guy's trying to steal a whole bunch of stuff from the 151 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:22,079 store. He has his pockets completely full with like products literally coming 152 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:26,720 out of it. They're like, "You have to pay for that. You have to pay for that." So, he freaks out and just starts 153 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:30,079 throwing products down the aisles while leaving the store and just hucks 154 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,519 everything all over the place and then gets pissed off and leaves the store. 155 00:11:31,839 --> 00:11:38,320 And then I get my thing cut and there's like a billion employees and I could have easily asked for Brandon to come in 156 00:11:36,079 --> 00:11:41,560 and film, but I was finally done. So, let's 157 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:47,440 go. 50 bucks. So, what I saved on my 158 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:52,480 radiator, I may have actually just had to spend on 159 00:11:48,839 --> 00:11:55,680 coolant. But I have my pump. I have my 160 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,120 coolant. I have my reservoir. I have my 161 00:11:55,680 --> 00:12:01,600 rad. And we're going to go pick up the raw materials for our blocks. Now, I 162 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:07,120 just want to do a quick sanity check to make sure that my pump fits inside my 163 00:12:04,959 --> 00:12:12,880 reservoir before we leave here. Oh, that's really close. Uh-oh. Oh, that's 164 00:12:10,959 --> 00:12:18,160 quite restrictive at the inlet, isn't it? Oh, not too bad, actually. Okay, 165 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:20,480 hold on. Hold on just a gosh darn moment 166 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:24,760 here. These really are the world's worst suction cups, 167 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:29,000 though. Uh, we might get away with 168 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:35,600 that. This thing isn't going to seal anymore, though, that's for darn sure. I 169 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,600 guess I didn't really think of 170 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:43,120 that. Okay, so we're back at MetalMart. 171 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:46,639 Let's go ahead and have a close look at exactly what we need for metal for our 172 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:52,279 blocks. No, that's fine. Don't get the door for me or anything. Just hold that camera. 173 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:57,040 It's not even worth noting that guy. Actually, I don't know 174 00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:01,120 who you got to pay for that kind of information. 175 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:04,760 I I don't I have a very I have a very fixed budget. That's part of the uh 176 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:09,200 competition. You wanted some um copper thing made. We sent him out 177 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:13,600 the other shop. Ah, I know what he wants. Copper plate. I know what he 178 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:17,360 wants. With holes in it and a dome. I know what he wants. 179 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:24,800 Dome or something. I have a better plan than him anyway. Pro trolls, man. Pro 180 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:26,880 trolls. You'll do it all day. Looks like 181 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:32,000 Man, this is I wish I had my calipers. And he's got digital calipers. Nice. 182 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:35,880 You're the man, man. Okay, so center to 183 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:40,920 center and then the 184 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,920 Oh, zero that bad boy again. 185 00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:48,160 Ah, what did you do? Slice my hand. Wow, that's surprisingly deep for not drawing 186 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,519 blood. Oh, there's a little bit. Yeah, these are sharp, by the way, in case 187 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:55,760 anyone is wondering. Here's our order. We need 188 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,839 eight pieces. We need I'm basically just 189 00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:03,760 buying two of each to give us a buffer to screw up. Okay, so our metal's 190 00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:05,920 costing us 3837. I had I asked for a lot 191 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:10,320 more cuts than I had gotten my original quote on. So, this is definitely more 192 00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:19,680 than I had necessarily wanted to spend on it, but uh I think 40 193 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:23,120 bucks for two water blocks I can find a 194 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:26,399 way to live with. So, that means we have 195 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:29,480 left in our budget for fittings, any 196 00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:32,399 miscellaneous stuff. We've got 197 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:35,639 $85. Not bad. Not bad. I think we're still I think we're still uh I think 198 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:41,680 we're still okay. So, here, let's have a look at the 199 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:43,760 goods here. So, these two are going to 200 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:52,560 be those uh that's going to be that heat sink for the GPU um VRM. These bad boys 201 00:14:48,959 --> 00:14:55,279 here are going to be my tops for my CPU 202 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:58,720 blocks, which are here. And then our GPU blocks. And this is heavy though. We're 203 00:14:57,519 --> 00:15:03,199 going to have to take a lot of material out of this just for weight. So, we've 204 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:09,680 got two of those as well. So, we have two of everything so that we don't have 205 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:12,480 to leave the uh the CNC tomorrow. Uh oh. 206 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:17,760 Was the $2 a change? Yep. Okay. Awesome. Thank you very much. You're very 207 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:20,399 welcome. My good sir. Happy. And uh I 208 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:24,880 really hope this works. I have no backup plan. 209 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:30,720 Next time on Scrapyard Wars, the mayor of Cohog does the outro. Lionus climbs a 210 00:15:28,399 --> 00:15:35,959 40ft tree. No, really. He actually climbs a tree. So, stay 211 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:39,680 tuned. All right, that's it. No more. It's going to get dumber and 212 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:45,000 dumber. My IQ is going to go down with it.
