So this is our first episode. We're looking for a lot of feedback from you guys about what we can do to make these fun and interesting in the future. But for today's challenge, we are keeping it very simple. $300 cash, the very best gaming rig that we can build with a few rules. So number one is no monitor or other peripherals required. We only have to build the tower. No worker research can be pre-done, so you can't go on websites or Craigslist and try to find things before or in between. Each participant gets a total of eight hours to actually find everything, and then four hours to build it, tune it, and benchmark it. I'm not paying any overtime on this, so we are staying inside those guidelines. No leveraging friends, social media contacts, coworkers, or anything of that sort. Overclocking is allowed. We'll be measuring performance of the machines using 3DMark Firestrike, Tomb Raider 2013, and Dirt 3. And along with the no peripherals thing, it's just a tower that you need, no operating system or anything like that. So let's get to it, shall we? Scratch Wars. Here we go. You have exceeded your daily transaction limit. Please take your receipt. I see. Declined. Okay, then. I'ma go inside. I have the cashola. There you are. Thank you. All right. Let's go, shall we? Good luck. I should have known he'd never fall for that. I'm fairly sure he's going to waste time going back to the office. I brought a laptop with me, so I will begin immediately. I really hope it's charged. There's a store somewhere in Vancouver. I think it's called Reboot. It's a non-for-profit little store thing that kind of refurbishes computers and sells computers and does kind of cheap repairs and stuff for people that need it. And I think if I can participate in this contest and support a company that tries to, like they do really cheap computer repairs and I know they try to like, I think they do some charity, giving computers to people and stuff. If I can help them out, get a cheap computer from them and participate in the contest, then that's doing many things well at once. So I'm going to try and see if I can do that. I'm going to contact them, figure out what their hours are and go from there. Now we're rocking. Here. Jesus. All right, so should we start on, red flag deals used to be a haunt for me. I used to find a lot of good stuff there. The line is tech tips, buy, sell, trade. That Craig's list. Do you want me to call Anthony? Ah, oh, that. No, we're not allowed to leverage friends. And this is where the like, montage, montage music has to come in. Dun, dun, dun, dun. That might be the best we can do. And then this guy also had a hard drive for 20 bucks. Oh, he looks detected. Does he? Okay, good. Excellent. That means literally nothing. So an Intel Core 2 Duo with 80 Gigabyte hard drive. Oh God. And two gigabytes of RAM for 50 bucks though. So that leaves me $250 to get a graphics card. Let me give them a call. This is why we don't make TV shows. There seems to be a pretty significant drop in price once you get to Core 2 Duo range. So I'm looking for that because I think that'll be fine for most of the games. It'll fall behind a bit for sure on a Tomb Raider. Are they gonna come to concede defeat? Where are they going? They're not allowed to take out more money. Oh, they're trying to film things better than just pointing the camera at me in the car. How innovative. That seems unnecessary. Whoa. This could be, oh, is this that same frigging guy? Well, he has a case. He has a CX 500 power supply too. If I hear back from this guy, I don't think Lou's gonna think to check Kijiji. Okay, 45. And then this is a combo. And then this is a combo. Ooh, computer cases with power supplies and other hardware. Phone calls only, please. All right, here we go. Hi. Hi, you have a Craigslist listing for computer cases with power supplies. $10 or something. So do you have anything reasonably new with a 24-pin power supply and compatibility for a micro ATX board, like some kind of standard board, or is it all gonna be non-standard like Dell HP stuff? That's an Athlon? Oh, okay. That's a little older than I need. I'm looking for an entry-level gaming PC. If you can just tell me what CPUs the systems that you have. I'm very familiar with the hardware. I know what I'm looking for. I just need to know what you have. If you're in contact with somebody who can help you with the parts you need. Oh, okay. That might actually be very helpful. What's your name? My name's Linus. If you wanna build a- What I'm trying to accomplish is today, I wanna find my platform. So everything I'll need. And then tomorrow, essentially, I wanna spend the entire time finding the best possible price that I can on a GPU. That's like my whole plan tomorrow. Pick up. I just found another computer. Same price, but it's actually $5 cheaper. It has a 450-watt power supply. That's probably fine. Four gigs of RAM. So that's a slight improvement there. Four gigs of RAM, that's probably good enough. And then an E8400 again. I'm kinda surprised he hasn't just tried to like leave and go into some little computer shop and get them to give him a deal because of who he is. That was my full expectation the whole time. And then he put up the rule that we can't use our influence. I was like, wow. Because that's exactly what I expected him to do. So now I'm not sure how he's gonna cheat. . I don't even know that he's going to. Never cheat at all. You know what we should do? Is we should look really excited when we pull out and we should look like we're heading somewhere, okay? We'll give them a little, a little farewell beep beep. You know? I don't even know how to use Craigslist. First stop is going to be the Salvation Army thrift store. This isn't a computer. That was bad. That was really bad. I hope Linus' time is not, not going well. Continue on Langley Bypass 14. If I just throw the car under a semi, we'll be okay. We can avoid, we can avoid judgment at the end of the, at the end of the contest when we have no computer because there's no computers at thrift shops and Linus magically found something on Craigslist. I'm hoping that they don't have like computer-savvy employees. So they might undervalue a certain tower compared to another one. Like they might price two of them at the same price. And one of them is actually clearly better. Fingers crossed. Is this literally? Is this literally a clothing store now? You're kicked out anyways. Hi. Hi. I'm actually contacting a few guys that are selling computer parts. May I ask which one? Dilbert. Ah, yeah, that's right. Hi. I'm just generally looking for everything right now. I don't have any of the components locked in and I need to get everything by about midday tomorrow as a birthday presents. What would we be looking at for something like a Q60, 600 and a board? Oh, something like that. It's like $80. Still leaves me needing, I don't know. I don't know. A case power supply. Do you have any like super cheapo, stupid stuff? Yeah, a case and power supply. Okay, I'm not worried about the case looking great. He doesn't see real well. Well, I can throw the power supply and case into the 200. For the 200? You know what? I will call you back before the end of your shop time today. So I'll call you back in the next hour or so. And I'll let you know if I'm gonna come by tomorrow morning and pick this stuff up. Sounds like this might be the deal that helps me out here. All right, thank you very much. Take care. Take care. Maybe it was worthwhile to listen to that life story after all. We might've just gotten everything but a video card with a hundred dollar budget for a graphics card leftover. Okay, but that might be like plus tax because this is- Oh no. Well, let's hope it's not. I got an email back from the guy that I actually wanted to respond the most. This was the guy with the E8400 that had four gigabytes of DDR3 as well and the 500 Gigabyte hard drive. It's not the greatest price, but that's an option. He's available right now, which is good. So I need to figure out if I can get a, what I can get for a graphics card for 220 bucks. If I can get something good enough, which I think I can, I think I'll go with it. Linus speaking. Yes, I did. Oh, hi, hi. I, okay, I gotta be upfront with you. I can't leverage being me as a negotiation strategy. So you have to pretend that I'm not who I am. So I don't need a water-cooled card. I need an air-cooled card, which means that since I don't have any budget left over for the rest of the system, I pretty much have to get an all-in-one liquid cooler for $100 minus whatever I pay for your card. So that's where I'm at. I have got no leads on an all-in-one liquid cooler and I have to have this done by the end of the day tomorrow. Is there now? Is there? I see that. That would be just like an extra dollar, like 20, 20. Yeah, can you do 80? Yeah, I guess I could, yeah. Okay, can I pick it up today or tomorrow? Can I come tomorrow morning? You're in Richmond, correct? In Burnaby, actually. You're in Burnaby. I think I'm gonna be in Burnaby anyway. Like I'm doing a bit of computer hardware pickup stuff tomorrow. So I will be, I'll be around. So tell you what, why don't you just pick somewhere, somewhere safe near wherever it is you live, like a Starbucks or whatever. And then just let me know. You've got my number. So if you just text me the address and what time works for you, I'll be there tomorrow morning. Okay, all right, thank you. That would be no problem. All right, take care. Okay, we have secured a GTX 580 for $80. If they can get a slightly faster CPU than us, like maybe an 1155 core i5 quad core, something along those lines, even if they have a slightly lesser video card, they might still come out ahead. If they get a similar video card, better CPU, then we're in real trouble. But basically this is gonna, I need to make sure our power supply has support for GTX 580. That's a pretty power hungry card. I wonder what they're up to. Hopefully spinning their wheels, finding nothing. All right, so I got the computer. Everything works. He booted it up for me. I got to inspect everything. It's fine. I didn't haggle them down anymore. So I got it for 80 bucks, which I think is fine. We'll have to see what Linus got, but that seems like an okay deal for an 8400 computer to me. The inside is really nice and clean. So I was happy to see that. It looks like he took good care of it or at least took good care of it right before I got there. Not entirely sure which one, but anyways. Kind of baller RAM. I didn't expect this. Okay, maybe not actually baller, but it's gold plated. Well, not really gold plated, gold painted OCZ memory, which I thought was kind of funny. There's the E8400. The fan, CPU fan and everything is in immaculate condition, which is great. Let me get this back in here. One quick second. I thought it was kind of funny the optical drive isn't even hooked up, but I wouldn't use it anyways. So the power supply though is kind of like the most sketchy balls thing ever. It's a Powerlink 450 watt. It's a Powerlink 450 watt. But yeah, I don't know. No PCIe power whatsoever. There's two molexes though, so I can adapt her off for that. So I don't know. We'll just kind of have to see. So this will be my base platform. I'll see if I need to get a new power supply and then yeah, we'll go from there. This is really awkward because I've just made appointments with our GTX 580 water cooled card and our cooler for it, which are totaling a hundred dollars. But someone just accepted it. Our offer for a hundred dollars on a 7950. So I'm going to do a little bit of research into overclocking the 580 and overclocking the 7950, but I'm going to feel like a real bad dude, but I might have to bail on those guys and take the better offer. The problem is that now I have to go get it tonight, which means I might have to take like the kids with me. So. Save on select Intel Core i7 processors and 730 series SSDs with instant rebates during Valentine's week, February 14th to 24th. First, 2015. Click now to learn more. So did we decide about going to get things tonight? I can't. Well, that's very interesting then. I have a call to make. Also, you can't do any more Craigslisting stuff after six. You're cheating already. I'm not cheating. What are you doing right now? Replying to a message. There was a, okay. I had to, I had, no, I had to do other stuff. I've been back here for a bit. I had to like record a voiceover and stuff. No, have I been here? Have I been working? Is there, is there actual? Oh, I don't know Linus. See, oh, Terran's agreeing with me. Wow. Dicks. Hey Linus, Terran's got that big 4K monitor. Can I have that now? No. This isn't 4K. And that's not 4K anymore. Sorry, I can't come down to get anything tonight. So I might have to pass. If anything changes, I will, I will give a call tomorrow to, to let you know. If it comes to that, then, if it's not too much to ask, maybe take the card out with you and I could come to you wherever you happen to be. Cause it's a bit of a scavenger hunt situation I've got going on. Thanks. My number is 310-1010 Pizza Hut. Good night. There. I'm done for the night. There. It's all I'm doing tonight.
