WEBVTT 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 00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:13.120 going to have a full budget of $500, $300 for our computer and a maximum of 00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:16.119 $200 for the water cooling parts. But 00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:24.240 there's a twist. We cannot use any offtheshelf PC water cooling gear. Nada. 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:28.400 Yeah. Scrapyard Wars. 00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:30.880 Scrapyard Wars 2. The scrapping. 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 00:00:32.559 --> 00:00:38.000 so we can go. Um, and that never 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:43.040 happened. Brandon was never told. We're leaving now. It's about 12:30. Yeah. So, 00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:46.719 we're late. Okay. So, my first hit for Aluminum Block Vancouver is from 00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:51.399 Hardware Conucks. One of the first, good old Sugar J. One of the first 00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:54.559 recommendations is Metal Mart. So, 00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:56.320 Vancouver in the suburb of Langley. 00:00:54.559 --> 00:00:59.399 Yeah, boy. We're practically sitting on one of 00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:04.320 their locations. Okay. Awesome. All right. So, 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 00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:14.159 computer component. There we go. Can you give me 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 00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:22.880 thick. Maybe yay big or Yeah. Like what 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:27.600 does that cost? Well, is that the like cheapo scrap bin? But 00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:30.720 there's things like that. Yeah, that that's the one I actually saw right when 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:36.000 I walked in and I thought that looks pretty appealing. Yeah. Okay. I need it 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:37.840 today. And this is thick enough. So, um 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 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.320 want? So, how much does it cost? 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 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:58.159 there a particular grade or like alloy that it is or Yeah. 00:01:54.600 --> 00:02:01.759 6061 uh T6 alloy. Uh-huh. So, um that 00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:05.680 meant nothing to me. It's uh it's 00:02:01.759 --> 00:02:08.399 machinable um weldable. It's uh like a 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:13.440 structural type of aluminum. Okay. Um Okay. 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:15.440 Yeah. It's pretty decent quality. Pretty 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 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:24.000 this existed. Just like here's a 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:29.440 ginormous metal rod. So 5 in would cost $661 after tax. 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:37.040 $6.61. Wow. It's uh 1475 foot. Not bad. Okay. 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 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:48.080 free. Every cut after is a dollar. Okay. Um hey, that's very reasonable. 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 00:02:50.800 --> 00:03:00.800 figure out what exactly I need? Yep. Fantastic. Thank you. Okay, 00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:02.720 so CPU block. There's a couple different 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:09.519 ways we can go about this. We could go really small like the older Nexos Alpha 00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:12.080 Cool blocks um that were only about yay 00:03:09.519 --> 00:03:14.239 big, but what I worry about is we wouldn't 00:03:17.959 --> 00:03:24.080 be with the camera. 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:27.080 Lionus is here. They're here. They're here. 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:35.360 Well, I'm just going to hide this diagram. What's in there? Nothing. 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:39.159 What's that? See you later. What is it? Bye. Show me. 00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:45.640 This isn't awkward at all. I wonder what we're both doing. 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 00:03:53.200 --> 00:03:59.360 and then get out of here cuz if you give us 5 minutes, we're pretty 00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:06.760 much we're allowed to stay in the store. Pretty much it. 00:04:02.760 --> 00:04:06.760 Wow. All right. 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 00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:17.779 much of my plan. 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:27.440 You're leaving, too? Oh. Oh, I see. I 00:04:24.400 --> 00:04:31.240 see. All right. All right. I'll see 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:38.120 you. Well, he's found a source for metal. We know this much. 00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:44.479 Okay. So, I saw online that you guys could do fabrication. Not this location. 00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:48.800 Not this location. Porks. Porks. Okay, that's fine. If I asked them, if I 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 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:57.280 one? Probably. Yep. Um, what kind of 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:58.880 pod? It's I was looking for a copper 00:04:57.280 --> 00:05:03.520 plate with holes through it so I could go through there. And then just any form 00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:07.280 of dome pod that would go over top of the CPU. 00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:10.960 You have to ask them. Um, it sounds like something they could do. They're pretty 00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:15.520 talented up there. So, so Port Kels, can you give me the address manager? 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. 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, 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:27.720 though. That's okay. We've already been to Home 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:30.960 Depot. Yeah. Well, I I have. You 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.960 haven't. All right. So, they're making 00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:37.759 progress then. Oh, ball sack. This might be one 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 00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:44.600 is this? Never been overclocked. It's a 00:05:42.919 --> 00:05:50.600 ble 150. You know what? You know what? This 00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:53.199 isn't a in a Sonata 3 case. 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 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 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 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:11.000 what though? Barring anything unforeseen, I'm just going to grab it, I 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:11.000 think. 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:20.560 Oh, we're getting pulled over. So, I know you're you're touching your phone, 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:25.960 which you can't do while you drive. Yes, sir. Super duper don't know. 00:06:32.960 --> 00:06:39.759 Here for a Craigslist computer pickup. 00:06:36.280 --> 00:06:41.880 So, this is it, you say? 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:46.120 This is an X58 based system. I did not see that one 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:54.000 coming. This is what we're going to be dealing 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:56.160 with. This card shouldn't be a problem. 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 00:06:58.400 --> 00:07:07.360 of aluminum for our CPU cooler based on an LGA75 socket size because this is 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:10.120 using LGA 1366. 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 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 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:24.960 jam all of this in there to even have 00:07:20.400 --> 00:07:27.759 any chance of cooling this thing. Okay. 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. 00:07:30.479 --> 00:07:36.080 The rest we have is cooling budget. Uh 00:07:33.520 --> 00:07:43.720 you might want to count it. Yep. That is one 00:07:39.080 --> 00:07:46.960 rancid front filter. Oh. 00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:49.880 Whoa. Ready? I'm going to do it. Don't 00:07:46.960 --> 00:07:55.759 be downwind. Which way is downwind? That way. 00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:58.879 Oh. Oh, it's going back to the computer. 00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.879 No. Get away from my 00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:05.280 car. Oh, look at that. It's a feather. 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:11.280 There's a feather. the cooling for the CPU itself. Yeah. If 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 00:08:14.479 --> 00:08:21.199 on, could I just essentially epoxy a cap on there? Would that be 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:25.039 fine? The cost of fabrication was high, although that totally makes sense. 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:28.720 That's what they do here. Um, so getting it welded is probably not an option 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 00:08:32.800 --> 00:08:38.159 going to fall back to the JB Weld solution. So, this probably sounds 00:08:36.959 --> 00:08:42.719 terrible because it looks like they're cutting my sheet probably right there, 00:08:40.560 --> 00:08:47.279 actually. Um, so I'm getting a copper sheet, little blocks of copper. It's 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 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 00:08:53.519 --> 00:09:03.760 hopefully find a copper or aluminum cap of some sort at uh Home Depot or 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:06.800 something. So, I just got in total the 00:09:03.760 --> 00:09:08.959 copper plate for about six bucks. Um, 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 00:09:11.839 --> 00:09:17.839 that until he was tilling me out. So, I probably should have just got more just 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 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 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 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:33.680 like.125 of a pound. Can you just give 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 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 00:09:40.640 --> 00:09:47.120 worried about reservoir. I'm going to pretty much ignore reservoir as of right 00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:50.800 now because I can just do the fallback 00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:54.080 of like going to Safeway and buying a $1 00:09:50.800 --> 00:09:55.760 2 L bottle of pop um and just like 00:09:54.080 --> 00:10:00.240 pouring the pop out, cleaning it up, and then using that as a reservoir. But pump 00:09:58.640 --> 00:10:05.240 and radiator is going to be a pretty serious problem. Um, radiator is going 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:09.440 to be expensive and large. So, there's the idea of just 00:10:07.760 --> 00:10:13.200 buying a car radiator and there's also the idea of doing the copper coil thing, 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 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 00:10:18.640 --> 00:10:25.839 from that. So, I got my copper tubing that I was looking for. This should be 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:31.279 small enough to fit into that cap that I was talking about. And it's actually 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 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 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 00:10:45.079 --> 00:10:51.360 whatnot, then I can save money on fittings, which would be pretty sick. 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 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 00:10:55.920 --> 00:11:02.880 employees anywhere, which is fine. It's a more of a self-s served store and 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 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 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 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 00:11:17.040 --> 00:11:22.079 store. He has his pockets completely full with like products literally coming 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 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:30.079 throwing products down the aisles while leaving the store and just hucks 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:33.519 everything all over the place and then gets pissed off and leaves the store. 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 00:11:36.079 --> 00:11:41.560 and film, but I was finally done. So, let's 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:47.440 go. 50 bucks. So, what I saved on my 00:11:44.920 --> 00:11:52.480 radiator, I may have actually just had to spend on 00:11:48.839 --> 00:11:55.680 coolant. But I have my pump. I have my 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:57.120 coolant. I have my reservoir. I have my 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 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 00:12:04.959 --> 00:12:12.880 reservoir before we leave here. Oh, that's really close. Uh-oh. Oh, that's 00:12:10.959 --> 00:12:18.160 quite restrictive at the inlet, isn't it? Oh, not too bad, actually. Okay, 00:12:15.040 --> 00:12:20.480 hold on. Hold on just a gosh darn moment 00:12:18.160 --> 00:12:24.760 here. These really are the world's worst suction cups, 00:12:24.760 --> 00:12:29.000 though. Uh, we might get away with 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:35.600 that. This thing isn't going to seal anymore, though, that's for darn sure. I 00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:35.600 guess I didn't really think of 00:12:35.800 --> 00:12:43.120 that. Okay, so we're back at MetalMart. 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 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. 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:57.040 It's not even worth noting that guy. Actually, I don't know 00:12:55.040 --> 00:13:01.120 who you got to pay for that kind of information. 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 00:13:02.800 --> 00:13:09.200 competition. You wanted some um copper thing made. We sent him out 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:13.600 the other shop. Ah, I know what he wants. Copper plate. I know what he 00:13:10.880 --> 00:13:17.360 wants. With holes in it and a dome. I know what he wants. 00:13:15.760 --> 00:13:24.800 Dome or something. I have a better plan than him anyway. Pro trolls, man. Pro 00:13:20.880 --> 00:13:26.880 trolls. You'll do it all day. Looks like 00:13:24.800 --> 00:13:32.000 Man, this is I wish I had my calipers. And he's got digital calipers. Nice. 00:13:28.880 --> 00:13:35.880 You're the man, man. Okay, so center to 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:40.920 center and then the 00:13:35.880 --> 00:13:40.920 Oh, zero that bad boy again. 00:13:41.680 --> 00:13:48.160 Ah, what did you do? Slice my hand. Wow, that's surprisingly deep for not drawing 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.519 blood. Oh, there's a little bit. Yeah, these are sharp, by the way, in case 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:55.760 anyone is wondering. Here's our order. We need 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:57.839 eight pieces. We need I'm basically just 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 00:13:59.839 --> 00:14:05.920 costing us 3837. I had I asked for a lot 00:14:03.760 --> 00:14:10.320 more cuts than I had gotten my original quote on. So, this is definitely more 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:19.680 than I had necessarily wanted to spend on it, but uh I think 40 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:23.120 bucks for two water blocks I can find a 00:14:19.680 --> 00:14:26.399 way to live with. So, that means we have 00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:29.480 left in our budget for fittings, any 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:32.399 miscellaneous stuff. We've got 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 00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:41.680 we're still okay. So, here, let's have a look at the 00:14:38.160 --> 00:14:43.760 goods here. So, these two are going to 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 00:14:48.959 --> 00:14:55.279 here are going to be my tops for my CPU 00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:58.720 blocks, which are here. And then our GPU blocks. And this is heavy though. We're 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 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 00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:12.480 to leave the uh the CNC tomorrow. Uh oh. 00:15:09.680 --> 00:15:17.760 Was the $2 a change? Yep. Okay. Awesome. Thank you very much. You're very 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:20.399 welcome. My good sir. Happy. And uh I 00:15:17.760 --> 00:15:24.880 really hope this works. I have no backup plan. 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:30.720 Next time on Scrapyard Wars, the mayor of Cohog does the outro. Lionus climbs a 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:35.959 40ft tree. No, really. He actually climbs a tree. So, stay 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:39.680 tuned. All right, that's it. No more. It's going to get dumber and 00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:45.000 dumber. My IQ is going to go down with it.
