1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,720
previously on scrapyard wars 300 cash

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,639
the very best gaming rig that we can build it seems like an okay deal for an

3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:16,080
8400 computer to me someone just accepted our offer for 100 on a 79.50

4
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:20,720
sorry i can't come down to get anything tonight so i might have to pass

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:27,760
if anything and now the conclusion or part of it

6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:33,120
i've got a 500 watt antec power supply

7
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:38,480
that we're headed to pick up right now and then the r9 290 i got for 180 so

8
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:44,640
that's actually pretty sweet we will go pick that up later did he say 290 is

9
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,960
that fast what's a graphics card okay so

10
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:52,320
it's day two of our search and uh we've gotta find out where our

11
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:56,800
destination is so i'm not exactly sure where we're going okay i have the

12
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:59,440
address for our first appointment

13
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:03,120
on my laptop which battery is low

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:09,040
ah scrap yard wars one

15
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:16,479
there we go now we're good

16
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:18,240
okay i really hope that's not it

17
00:01:16,479 --> 00:01:22,880
i think it might be holy crap this is some sketch

18
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:29,840
okay so this is five three three two holy crap

19
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:36,240
this is like this is some sketchy demons

20
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,640
no parking well they parked in front of it where like where does this door go i

21
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,920
don't know there's some blood in there though

22
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:52,079
hello are you santa hi i'm Linus

23
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:56,479
nice to meet you too this is uh nick he can turn off the

24
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:00,880
camera if you want no cameras today that's fine

25
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:05,040
so our contact here got us pretty hooked up actually he had the whole thing

26
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:09,759
running on a test bench to show that it booted up and had core temp

27
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,160
CPU z installed and everything so we could validate that everything's good to

28
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:17,360
go so this is an ep 35 ds3r a pretty decent

29
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:23,040
little board it's got an extra chip on there for SATA ii raid we've got eight

30
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,879
gigs of uh what appears to be mix and

31
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:30,000
match so we've got half samsung half kingston ddr2 800. there's a q6600 on

32
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:35,040
there with a cooler um and then we also

33
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:39,519
just thrown in got what appears to be the remains of a freezer seven i think

34
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:42,959
we can make use of that with uh with an extra fan or something along

35
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:48,160
those lines and then we also got an earth watts 500

36
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,360
watt power supply which was uh better than i was expecting i actually didn't

37
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:56,000
know what model of power supply we were gonna get but this has got two PCIe six

38
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:59,280
pin connectors on it so that means that powering our graphics card later isn't

39
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:02,959
gonna be a problem at all and then i thought we were getting a 500

40
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:08,480
gig hard drive and we actually ended up with

41
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:09,840
a one terabyte hard drive so uh oh yeah

42
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:14,800
right in the case so there were a few sort of cooler

43
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:17,760
master elite class options or there was

44
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:23,280
a silverstone tj04 that happens to be missing a couple of bay covers well

45
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:26,000
i have some bay covers we've got a card

46
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:31,280
reader a floppy drive yeah baby

47
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:32,560
so uh oh and look the vancouver olympic

48
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,959
mascots that was a bonus i didn't even have to pay extra for that

49
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:42,239
all right so i'm feeling pretty good we just need the rest of this day to go well

50
00:03:40,239 --> 00:03:46,400
still need a graphics card so i just got my uh antique basic power 500 watt

51
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:51,280
continuous power power supply which is exactly what i was looking for looks like it's in good shape clean happy with

52
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,159
all that kind of stuff while i was talking to the guy though i was like

53
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:58,640
yeah thanks for doing this like i know it's really short notice because i just emailed them this morning and it was his

54
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:03,360
dad or whatever and he's like yeah it's been an interesting day someone was just here

55
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,319
picking up a case in power supply like 20 minutes ago

56
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:12,400
what who do you think that is there's like no way that isn't Linus except it

57
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:17,919
wasn't man we're probably so close

58
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,639
oh that would have been so funny if we were picking stuff up at the same time

59
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,479
anyways let's let's go get some lunch because you know we're having a chill day

60
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:30,880
they're probably freaking out driving everywhere so i had

61
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:33,199
multiple leads on 79 50s for 100 and

62
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:37,440
then i actually ended up with two gtx 580s lined up for a hundred dollars i

63
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:43,120
decided i wanted 79.50 so i bailed on all the 580s i got back to what looked

64
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:46,639
like a very promising 7950 lead and then heard nothing so this guy who's actually

65
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:51,680
going to be on different job sites today but i asked

66
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:56,240
him very nicely yesterday to bring it with him in case i need it i'm going to

67
00:04:53,440 --> 00:05:00,000
try and track him down next after we go meet up with the guy who i promised

68
00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:04,639
t-shirts to technically i don't think we're allowed

69
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:06,720
to use anything that we didn't get

70
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:11,039
but luke will never know that i used my own uh

71
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:14,080
yeah that's true and we can always just lie to luke

72
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:19,039
right yes lying is it lioness

73
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:21,919
lie yes it's right in there well so we just arrived to meet up with

74
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:26,080
them i was trying to figure out how to tell them i don't have the right shirt

75
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:31,600
turns out i did grab the right shirts

76
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:35,120
we do have Linus tech tip shirts so

77
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:38,720
uh this will be this will be a lot more successful than it otherwise would have

78
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:42,479
been let's go ah hello gentlemen

79
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:50,479
nice to meet you sorry i wasn't able to take the card

80
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:53,039
unfortunately but uh so i found a 7950

81
00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:58,479
which gives me about a 10 edge in GPU performance yes so i got to take it

82
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,639
my my plan for this if i didn't get the zalman

83
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:07,440
uh was i was just going to rip the block off and use like a stock Intel heatsink

84
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:11,919
on the GPU core or something which would have been awesome and like super ghetto

85
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,680
but i found the 7950 so i kind of had to take it

86
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:20,720
but you had said you wanted me to sign something as well i brought a silver pen

87
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:26,880
smart ass there thank you the real Linus

88
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:30,800
all right since i showed up and didn't didn't buy

89
00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:33,680
anything actually all right well it's a pleasure to meet

90
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:37,840
you gentlemen we've got to get to our next appointment here and uh i'm gonna

91
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:42,319
go get like a hot chocolate or something but i'll see you gems later

92
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:47,840
wow cause we're not five minutes early we're

93
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:51,360
nine minutes early it is now

94
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:56,720
1 40. he was supposed to be here at 1 15.

95
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,840
so he just texted me saying he'll be here

96
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:03,440
in one minute um but

97
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:07,300
i'm like it's fine i guess

98
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:10,400
145.

99
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,520
i got it but he's really we gotta go

100
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:19,840
i don't like it when people are late i especially don't like it when they're

101
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:24,210
that late and when i like clearly stated that it was important

102
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,240
and i needed to go early

103
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:32,479
79.50 guy said he'd call us back in 10 minutes and that was 18 minutes ago

104
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:38,080
now the guy we just met with that we gave

105
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:41,919
the t-shirt to he has the 580 hydrocopper

106
00:07:39,599 --> 00:07:44,960
so what i'm thinking i haven't seen him leave yet

107
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:49,520
not that i'm parked outside the starbucks like stalking someone i haven't seen him

108
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:57,120
leave yet um so if i don't hear back from 79 50 guy

109
00:07:54,400 --> 00:08:01,120
that's our backup plan and we take that and then we try and get in touch with

110
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:04,560
zalman cooler guy again and and we go for it because that's down in richmond

111
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:08,160
uh which is kind of far but but definitely doable

112
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:12,240
mine is speaking okay i'll be there in about half an hour as well um there you

113
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:17,280
are so let's have a look at our spoils as long as it works

114
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:23,280
this will be the only piece we haven't validated this is a pretty beefy looking

115
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:24,160
card this is a mostly rear exhaust style

116
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,520
card so it's got the uh it's got the cooling

117
00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:31,840
fan just above the uh vrm cooling piece

118
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:37,440
right here all right i am feeling good

119
00:08:35,839 --> 00:08:41,919
i don't know if this is technically cheating because it's just an aesthetic

120
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:46,080
thing but uh i'm gonna try and find some aluminum faceplates i actually have some

121
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:49,200
boxes of random junk that i'm taking to the office this is like a forty dollar

122
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,440
piece that realistically i wasn't luke's not gonna

123
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:58,800
believe i salvaged or got for nothing these

124
00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:01,519
are what i actually need

125
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:05,839
yeah okay all right so i'm thinking we'll do the

126
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:09,200
build off in here so one person will take this desk

127
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:14,000
surface and then the other person will set up a

128
00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:18,000
couple desks here and then we can use our pile of computer

129
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:23,200
cases um to construct like like a wall a wall

130
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:27,519
like a barrier so that neither of us can see what the other is doing so we've

131
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:31,600
been back at hq already for like two hours and uh

132
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,720
luke and uh brandon are

133
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:39,839
nowhere to be seen they said we can start building at three so given that

134
00:09:36,959 --> 00:09:44,210
it's 2 30 right now we're pretty close so

135
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:57,279
let's get set up

136
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,279
do

137
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:14,079
save on select Intel 730 series ssds with instant rebates during president's

138
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:19,040
week february 22nd to march 1 2015. click now to learn more i'm excited this

139
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:23,519
is going to be awesome that's what i said before we turned the camera on and

140
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:27,680
now we're doing it again it's fake but it is what i legitimately said so is it

141
00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:31,839
fake i don't know no one knows

142
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:35,680
okay so are we doing the part part show-off

143
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:40,320
oh even though we have no alcohol and no cleaning cloths i found this

144
00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:45,279
napkin on the floor oh that's weird it doesn't have a model number maybe this

145
00:10:41,839 --> 00:10:46,640
is an unreleased processor i digest it

146
00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:52,720
has a model number so there's our CPU that's going to be a

147
00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:52,720
phenomenal performer

148
00:10:53,279 --> 00:11:00,200
here's our RAM okay

149
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,200
here's our other ramp

150
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,640
all right here's our third set of RAM

151
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:12,240
our fourth set of RAM

152
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:14,800
and our eighth set of RAM

153
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,279
and our 12th set of RAM and our eight

154
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:24,000
he's got a little bit of a viewing port back there

155
00:11:21,839 --> 00:11:28,320
i gotta be careful he can see around that corner quite easily and he's a

156
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:32,090
little rascally devil gotta be careful with that one

157
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:42,680
that's the sound of a quality side panel

158
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,680
being dropped right there

159
00:11:42,959 --> 00:11:48,640
i would only drop it like that if i wasn't worried about damaging it because

160
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:52,240
i have so many cases i bought six cases i thought that would

161
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:57,120
probably be about about par yeah you probably only bought six cases

162
00:11:55,519 --> 00:12:03,120
because you're gonna need six cases to end up with a fully functional one yep

163
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:08,480
next time on scrap yard wars luke runs out of gas in the bad part of town nick
