WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.720
previously on scrapyard wars 300 cash

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

00:00:08.639 --> 00:00:16.080
8400 computer to me someone just accepted our offer for 100 on a 79.50

00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:20.720
sorry i can't come down to get anything tonight so i might have to pass

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:27.760
if anything and now the conclusion or part of it

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:33.120
i've got a 500 watt antec power supply

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

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

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:46.960
that fast what's a graphics card okay so

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:52.320
it's day two of our search and uh we've gotta find out where our

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:56.800
destination is so i'm not exactly sure where we're going okay i have the

00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:59.440
address for our first appointment

00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:03.120
on my laptop which battery is low

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:09.040
ah scrap yard wars one

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:16.479
there we go now we're good

00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:18.240
okay i really hope that's not it

00:01:16.479 --> 00:01:22.880
i think it might be holy crap this is some sketch

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:29.840
okay so this is five three three two holy crap

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:36.240
this is like this is some sketchy demons

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

00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:47.920
don't know there's some blood in there though

00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:52.079
hello are you santa hi i'm Linus

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:56.479
nice to meet you too this is uh nick he can turn off the

00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:00.880
camera if you want no cameras today that's fine

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:05.040
so our contact here got us pretty hooked up actually he had the whole thing

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:09.759
running on a test bench to show that it booted up and had core temp

00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:12.160
CPU z installed and everything so we could validate that everything's good to

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:17.360
go so this is an ep 35 ds3r a pretty decent

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

00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:24.879
gigs of uh what appears to be mix and

00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:30.000
match so we've got half samsung half kingston ddr2 800. there's a q6600 on

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:35.040
there with a cooler um and then we also

00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:39.519
just thrown in got what appears to be the remains of a freezer seven i think

00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:42.959
we can make use of that with uh with an extra fan or something along

00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:48.160
those lines and then we also got an earth watts 500

00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:51.360
watt power supply which was uh better than i was expecting i actually didn't

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

00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:59.280
pin connectors on it so that means that powering our graphics card later isn't

00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:02.959
gonna be a problem at all and then i thought we were getting a 500

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:08.480
gig hard drive and we actually ended up with

00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:09.840
a one terabyte hard drive so uh oh yeah

00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:14.800
right in the case so there were a few sort of cooler

00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:17.760
master elite class options or there was

00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:23.280
a silverstone tj04 that happens to be missing a couple of bay covers well

00:03:20.239 --> 00:03:26.000
i have some bay covers we've got a card

00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:31.280
reader a floppy drive yeah baby

00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:32.560
so uh oh and look the vancouver olympic

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.959
mascots that was a bonus i didn't even have to pay extra for that

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

00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:46.400
still need a graphics card so i just got my uh antique basic power 500 watt

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

00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:54.159
all that kind of stuff while i was talking to the guy though i was like

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

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

00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:06.319
picking up a case in power supply like 20 minutes ago

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

00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:17.919
wasn't man we're probably so close

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

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

00:04:23.280 --> 00:04:30.880
they're probably freaking out driving everywhere so i had

00:04:27.440 --> 00:04:33.199
multiple leads on 79 50s for 100 and

00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:37.440
then i actually ended up with two gtx 580s lined up for a hundred dollars i

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

00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:46.639
like a very promising 7950 lead and then heard nothing so this guy who's actually

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:51.680
going to be on different job sites today but i asked

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

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

00:04:57.919 --> 00:05:04.639
t-shirts to technically i don't think we're allowed

00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:06.720
to use anything that we didn't get

00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:11.039
but luke will never know that i used my own uh

00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:14.080
yeah that's true and we can always just lie to luke

00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:19.039
right yes lying is it lioness

00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:21.919
lie yes it's right in there well so we just arrived to meet up with

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

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:31.600
turns out i did grab the right shirts

00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:35.120
we do have Linus tech tip shirts so

00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:38.720
uh this will be this will be a lot more successful than it otherwise would have

00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:42.479
been let's go ah hello gentlemen

00:05:42.479 --> 00:05:50.479
nice to meet you sorry i wasn't able to take the card

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:53.039
unfortunately but uh so i found a 7950

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

00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:02.639
my my plan for this if i didn't get the zalman

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

00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:11.919
on the GPU core or something which would have been awesome and like super ghetto

00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.680
but i found the 7950 so i kind of had to take it

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

00:06:18.080 --> 00:06:26.880
smart ass there thank you the real Linus

00:06:24.479 --> 00:06:30.800
all right since i showed up and didn't didn't buy

00:06:29.039 --> 00:06:33.680
anything actually all right well it's a pleasure to meet

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

00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:42.319
go get like a hot chocolate or something but i'll see you gems later

00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:47.840
wow cause we're not five minutes early we're

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:51.360
nine minutes early it is now

00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:56.720
1 40. he was supposed to be here at 1 15.

00:06:54.880 --> 00:06:59.840
so he just texted me saying he'll be here

00:06:58.080 --> 00:07:03.440
in one minute um but

00:07:01.520 --> 00:07:07.300
i'm like it's fine i guess

00:07:04.880 --> 00:07:10.400
145.

00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:15.520
i got it but he's really we gotta go

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

00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:24.210
that late and when i like clearly stated that it was important

00:07:21.520 --> 00:07:26.240
and i needed to go early

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

00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:38.080
now the guy we just met with that we gave

00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:41.919
the t-shirt to he has the 580 hydrocopper

00:07:39.599 --> 00:07:44.960
so what i'm thinking i haven't seen him leave yet

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:49.520
not that i'm parked outside the starbucks like stalking someone i haven't seen him

00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:57.120
leave yet um so if i don't hear back from 79 50 guy

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

00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:04.560
zalman cooler guy again and and we go for it because that's down in richmond

00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:08.160
uh which is kind of far but but definitely doable

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

00:08:10.080 --> 00:08:17.280
are so let's have a look at our spoils as long as it works

00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:23.280
this will be the only piece we haven't validated this is a pretty beefy looking

00:08:19.440 --> 00:08:24.160
card this is a mostly rear exhaust style

00:08:23.280 --> 00:08:27.520
card so it's got the uh it's got the cooling

00:08:26.479 --> 00:08:31.840
fan just above the uh vrm cooling piece

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:37.440
right here all right i am feeling good

00:08:35.839 --> 00:08:41.919
i don't know if this is technically cheating because it's just an aesthetic

00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:46.080
thing but uh i'm gonna try and find some aluminum faceplates i actually have some

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

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:53.440
piece that realistically i wasn't luke's not gonna

00:08:51.040 --> 00:08:58.800
believe i salvaged or got for nothing these

00:08:55.680 --> 00:09:01.519
are what i actually need

00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:05.839
yeah okay all right so i'm thinking we'll do the

00:09:03.839 --> 00:09:09.200
build off in here so one person will take this desk

00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:14.000
surface and then the other person will set up a

00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:18.000
couple desks here and then we can use our pile of computer

00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:23.200
cases um to construct like like a wall a wall

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

00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:31.600
been back at hq already for like two hours and uh

00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:34.720
luke and uh brandon are

00:09:33.040 --> 00:09:39.839
nowhere to be seen they said we can start building at three so given that

00:09:36.959 --> 00:09:44.210
it's 2 30 right now we're pretty close so

00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:57.279
let's get set up

00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:00.279
do

00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:14.079
save on select Intel 730 series ssds with instant rebates during president's

00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:19.040
week february 22nd to march 1 2015. click now to learn more i'm excited this

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

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

00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:31.839
fake i don't know no one knows

00:10:30.160 --> 00:10:35.680
okay so are we doing the part part show-off

00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:40.320
oh even though we have no alcohol and no cleaning cloths i found this

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

00:10:41.839 --> 00:10:46.640
is an unreleased processor i digest it

00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:52.720
has a model number so there's our CPU that's going to be a

00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:52.720
phenomenal performer

00:10:53.279 --> 00:11:00.200
here's our RAM okay

00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:00.200
here's our other ramp

00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:04.640
all right here's our third set of RAM

00:11:05.680 --> 00:11:12.240
our fourth set of RAM

00:11:09.040 --> 00:11:14.800
and our eighth set of RAM

00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:17.279
and our 12th set of RAM and our eight

00:11:18.560 --> 00:11:24.000
he's got a little bit of a viewing port back there

00:11:21.839 --> 00:11:28.320
i gotta be careful he can see around that corner quite easily and he's a

00:11:26.160 --> 00:11:32.090
little rascally devil gotta be careful with that one

00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:42.680
that's the sound of a quality side panel

00:11:38.800 --> 00:11:42.680
being dropped right there

00:11:42.959 --> 00:11:48.640
i would only drop it like that if i wasn't worried about damaging it because

00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:52.240
i have so many cases i bought six cases i thought that would

00:11:50.800 --> 00:11:57.120
probably be about about par yeah you probably only bought six cases

00:11:55.519 --> 00:12:03.120
because you're gonna need six cases to end up with a fully functional one yep

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

00:12:05.760 --> 00:12:12.240
fights the statue of liberty yeah i just don't really like freedom

00:12:16.880 --> 00:12:22.880
how's what what how was the bathroom what about them oh yeah your bathroom

00:12:20.560 --> 00:12:26.720
cleaning what no it's not it's his week this week i think no last week i missed

00:12:24.880 --> 00:12:31.519
it oh i stayed late editing a video last week

00:12:30.160 --> 00:12:35.240
so i was kind of not in the mood to do garbage and also i forgot

00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:42.480
you
