Welcome to Season 5 of Scrapyard Wars.
0:03
The competition is going to be hotter than ever
0:06
because Luke and I are traveling to sunny California
0:09
to take on, yes, we're going to be on a team for the first time,
0:13
Paul from Paul's Hardware
0:15
and Kyle from Awesome Sauce News Network Bit Wit.
0:20
It's a team battle.
0:21
Everyone gets 500 American US dollars
0:24
to build the best RGB gaming computer they can.
0:28
Make sure it's all there.
0:30
You know him.
0:30
And go.
0:31
Oh, yeah.
0:32
And it's brought to you by iFixit and FreshBooks.
0:36
Okay.
0:38
Ready, guys?
0:39
Three, two, one.
0:41
Scrapyard Wars!
0:42
Okay, go, go, go.
0:43
What are you doing with the money?
0:44
We've got to get started.
0:45
Two teams try to build the best gaming rig they can for $500.
0:49
The rules are simple.
0:51
You work within the set hours, you buy the parts you use,
0:54
and you can't use your influence as a YouTuber to get deals.
0:57
Oh, and the best RGB computer gets a...
1:00
10% score bonus.
1:02
Welcome to Scrapyard Wars.
1:07
You have the money?
1:08
Okay, so who's...
1:09
Okay, good. Close enough.
1:10
Where does everybody build?
1:12
What?
1:13
You guys can be there. We'll go there.
1:14
We're there? You guys are in the kitchen?
1:15
Sure.
1:16
Okay. All right, we get the...
1:17
That gives them an advantage.
1:18
Wow.
1:19
They apparently have a lot of confidence
1:21
that I think is unjustified.
1:23
Maybe.
1:24
Because these guys are cruising for a bruising here.
1:28
We need laptops, stat,
1:30
because we don't know what the heck is going on.
1:32
We gotta remember that we don't know anything around here.
1:34
Right.
1:35
And also that this isn't the real money.
1:36
This is Paul and Kyle's money that we have to give back to them.
1:39
I'm kind of hungry. We haven't had lunch yet.
1:42
Yeah, I know.
1:43
We should probably eat.
1:44
There's a good place to eat.
1:45
Okay.
1:46
Do we have time for lunch?
1:47
You know what? Why are you guys hoarding all the water?
1:49
Like, it's really hot here,
1:51
and we're gonna need our water.
1:52
Also, this is your money, so we'll need that.
1:55
Okay.
1:56
How are you guys getting money?
1:58
We'll have to go get the real money
2:00
from the hotel room where I left it.
2:02
Okay.
2:03
But it's okay.
2:04
I can just give you some of this money,
2:06
and then you can bring that tomorrow
2:07
if that saves some time.
2:08
Well, we left it on, like, the counter in the bathroom,
2:11
and we didn't put the Do Not Disturb on,
2:13
and it's like $1,000 of actual money.
2:16
So I actually don't know
2:18
if we're gonna go back to the hotel room.
2:20
I think I'm just gonna roll the dice on the money on the counter
2:22
because we've only got two and a half days, effectively.
2:25
We started so late.
2:27
We've never worked together.
2:28
I don't even know what to say to you.
2:30
I know.
2:31
I'm just automatically looking things up.
2:33
I'm looking at Goodwill Electronic Recycling right now.
2:38
Okay.
2:39
Okay, so how about I start tracking down what's on Craigslist.
2:43
Do they have Kijiji here?
2:45
I don't know about Kijiji here.
2:46
I don't really think so.
2:48
Okay.
2:49
Because Kijiji is owned by eBay,
2:51
and eBay is bigger in the States.
2:53
Now, you were saying this earlier,
2:55
like, they might not know that Orange County
2:58
is pretty nearby here.
3:00
So if we're lucky, they might end up hitting up LA Craigslist.
3:04
Which is gonna be, like, hella traffic.
3:06
Is this Ontario, Canada?
3:09
Three gig Toronto, yeah.
3:10
No dice.
3:11
Yeah.
3:12
If they're looking at LA, this is our home field advantage.
3:14
If they're looking at LA traffic,
3:16
or if they're looking at LA locations,
3:18
they might get all the way into LA, which is to the north.
3:20
Right.
3:21
But we're, like, right on the border to go south, Orange County.
3:24
I think our initial goal should be to try to find a really cheap,
3:28
complete system that somebody's selling
3:30
that we can get base components, like a case and a power supply,
3:34
that we can get, like, dirt cheap.
3:36
And then for art, I think the RGB integration
3:38
is gonna be a challenge, but I feel like we might consider...
3:40
All right, we do have an ace in the hole,
3:42
an option, which is Micro Center.
3:44
Should we head out, or...?
3:46
I just realized that we can't leave them here, though,
3:48
because I have to lock the door.
3:50
I love how we get the workshop. This is awesome.
3:56
Except they said it's gonna get really hot,
3:58
and that has central air, and this doesn't.
4:02
Oh. So we thought that they were...
4:06
No, I didn't.
4:07
Oh.
4:08
You claimed the workshop.
4:09
So you knew that we were getting s*** on...
4:11
Yes.
4:12
...immediately.
4:13
Yep.
4:14
Great.
4:15
You were like, let's...
4:16
We take the workshop, and I was like, oh, crap.
4:18
Okay.
4:19
Well, I'm sorry.
4:20
Sorry to interrupt.
4:21
We just realized we all need to leave together,
4:24
because I need to lock the door.
4:28
Otherwise, it will be unlocked.
4:29
And just whenever we go.
4:30
This isn't Canada, guys.
4:31
I know.
4:32
We lock our doors.
4:33
We lock our doors.
4:34
People will kill us.
4:35
Do you have a second key?
4:36
Yeah, do you have a key?
4:37
Like, I'm...
4:38
I realize I'm asking for a lot.
4:40
Would the garage door work?
4:41
Garage door is not really an option, unfortunately.
4:43
All right.
4:44
I have an idea, but we'll discuss when the cameras are off.
4:46
Okay.
4:47
So here it is.
4:48
Strictly platonic.
4:49
Here we go.
4:50
Wait.
4:51
What am I doing?
4:55
So L.A. sucks.
4:56
What I mean by this is there's, like, nothing there
4:59
in terms of used PC parts.
5:02
Everything's MacBooks.
5:03
You know what I think the first thing we have to do is?
5:06
Is get our bearings.
5:07
Like, maybe the reason you can't find anything for Ontario
5:11
is that that's not, like, a relevant thing.
5:14
Where we should be going?
5:15
Yeah, like, where's, like, Orange County?
5:17
And where's, like...
5:18
I don't think that's...
5:19
Hollywood and...
5:20
Hollywood's, like, an hour away, I think.
5:22
I just mean, like...
5:23
No, I hear you.
5:24
I hear you.
5:25
So these are, like...
5:26
Are these counties?
5:28
Is El Monte...
5:29
These are all really small.
5:31
Okay, so Los Angeles is, like, a fair ways that way.
5:36
I don't even know where Hollywood is.
5:38
All I know is there's a big sign that I've never seen,
5:40
even though I've been to L.A.
5:42
quite a few times.
5:44
These guys are leaving already?
5:46
What?
5:47
You guys are leaving already?
5:48
You guys are still here.
5:50
I mean, you understand what happens in this area
5:52
with traffic after it gets past, like, 2 p.m., right?
5:54
Don't tell him.
5:55
Don't tell him.
5:56
It's past 2 p.m.
5:57
It's not like it's gonna matter.
5:58
There will be traffic.
5:59
Wherever, everywhere.
6:00
That's all that matters.
6:01
Don't give him any...
6:02
Yeah, it's after 2 p.m.
6:03
Yeah, you guys are screwed.
6:05
Okay, bye.
6:06
Bye.
6:07
Well, what are we gonna do?
6:10
I hate you.
6:11
I hate you.
6:12
I hate you.
6:13
I hate you.
6:14
I have a feeling they're just going to Kyle's house.
6:16
Oh, that makes sense.
6:20
Those guys are so full of .
6:22
You know what?
6:23
I think that these guys actually,
6:25
if they actually intend to get out there today,
6:28
are gonna be in for a rude surprise in terms of, like...
6:31
Research matters, man.
6:32
Yeah, how not efficient that is.
6:34
Yeah.
6:35
Maybe it was kind of unfair and, like,
6:37
of us to stack the teams like this.
6:41
I don't know, man.
6:42
Then again, like, I'm gonna be killing my...
6:44
Not killing myself.
6:46
But kicking myself at the very least
6:48
for saying something like that.
6:49
And then potentially losing?
6:50
And then potentially losing.
6:55
To figure out somebody bribed the judges,
6:57
what if we had food that was somehow associated with the system
7:00
that they could eat,
7:02
and the food was colored red, green, and blue?
7:04
Like, uh, green eggs and ham type of thing,
7:06
like, on the power supply.
7:07
Yeah, I don't know.
7:08
Maybe that's...
7:09
Like I said, call me crazy.
7:10
I'm just, I'm spitballing here.
7:11
Potentially.
7:12
Just throwing out ideas.
7:13
We're gonna have to make, like, a, you know,
7:14
like, a fast food run right before we get to the judges then,
7:16
and, like, maybe, like, put all the food inside the case,
7:18
and when they open it up, you know, it's like,
7:20
dinner served.
7:21
Exactly.
7:22
Make us win.
7:23
Um, that should work out perfectly.
7:25
That or paint.
7:26
I mean, I mean, if we can't,
7:27
if we can't find anything that lights up RGB...
7:30
Yeah.
7:31
Maybe there's some things at your house,
7:32
maybe there's some things that light up at your house
7:33
that aren't necessarily,
7:34
oh, I guess we couldn't use anything.
7:35
Yeah, I think we have to buy everything.
7:36
We have to buy everything.
7:37
I'm gonna call this place right now.
7:38
Okay.
7:39
Hey, Jared.
7:41
Um, I was wondering if you guys sell any, uh,
7:43
like, sort of pre-built systems that, uh,
7:45
are somewhat or fully functional?
7:48
Sorry about that.
7:51
I'm Kyle from Bitwit.
7:52
I'm Kyle from Bitwit, you idiot!
7:53
You've missed your chance to meet me!
7:55
God!
7:56
All right, um...
7:58
909?
7:59
I thought, I thought we weren't allowed to go into the 909.
8:03
That's, that's a dangerous area.
8:04
What? No, it's not.
8:05
Is it?
8:06
The 909, that's, that's nothing crackheads and...
8:08
That means, that means they'll be willing to sell computer parts
8:10
for really cheap.
8:11
That's true.
8:12
Kyle and I obviously, uh, go back for quite a while.
8:14
We work together at Newegg.
8:15
We do a regular, regular weekly live show
8:18
on Tuesday evenings at 5.30 p.m. Pacific time.
8:20
And, uh, it's, it's, uh,
8:21
it's, it's been good so far.
8:23
I think we have a, a good basic understanding of, like,
8:26
you know, working together and everything, so that's good.
8:29
We're pretty used to each other's vibe
8:31
and, uh, can really feed on each other's ideas
8:33
and things like that.
8:34
We're, we're really good at bouncing back,
8:35
back and forth ideas, so, um,
8:37
so far it's been a pretty positive experience.
8:39
What's the rule, what's the rule if,
8:41
like, if we...
8:42
With crackheads?
8:43
If we bought some crack or something
8:44
at, like, a really good rate...
8:45
Ooh, crack, I didn't think about that.
8:46
...let's say, let's say we knew a guy...
8:47
Right.
8:48
...and then we could bring it out to that area
8:49
and perhaps we could trade up, you know?
8:50
Okay.
8:51
We could get more for our, for...
8:52
They would all just kind of come screwing up.
8:54
I don't know what the rules are
8:55
with scrapyard wars for, like,
8:56
an intermediary form of currency or...
8:58
Crackyard wars.
8:59
...other exchanges.
9:00
Crackyard wars.
9:01
Sometimes I can be a little sporadic
9:04
and, and scatterbrained and he brings back the focus,
9:06
but then I can sort of drive the urgency,
9:08
so I think it's a nice balancing act.
9:10
13.
9:11
Hi, uh, I was wondering if you guys sell
9:12
any pre-built computer systems?
9:14
No, we don't.
9:16
So I'm thinking, I'm thinking this might be a good area
9:21
to kind of have as a base of operations.
9:22
We're in, uh, Roland Heights right now.
9:25
Newegg is located just a few blocks that way
9:27
as well as quite a few of the larger manufacturers,
9:30
uh, parts like MSIs over there,
9:32
Gigabytes over there, Zotac's over there.
9:34
So there's a lot of kind of techy people in that,
9:36
you know, who might work with,
9:38
actually work with them directly.
9:40
Not that we're, like, trying to find anyone we know,
9:42
but I feel like, I feel like in this area we could find some.
9:45
Well, that's a good idea.
9:46
Um, so I think maybe get some food
9:48
and while we're sitting down we can make some calls,
9:50
uh, via Craigslist or something like that.
9:51
I think if we get, I think if we get food
9:54
then we've already won, really.
9:56
That's probably true.
9:57
Basically.
9:58
You can't, you can't hunt for computer parts
9:59
on an empty stomach.
10:00
From minute zero, you have to bust
10:04
or else you are just gonna fail.
10:07
I'm so glad that we stopped here at Lee's Sandwiches,
10:09
purveyors of fine Vietnamese baguette-based sandwiches
10:13
and stuff to eat and recoup and gather our thoughts.
10:18
I agree.
10:19
Also, we're so overconfident, I think.
10:20
So FreshBooks' sponsorship is that
10:22
we use the FreshBooks app to track all of our, um, our expenses.
10:26
So we could do time tracking, but, like,
10:28
we're not billing for anything we're doing.
10:30
But you basically just go like this,
10:32
and then you just, like, put what it is
10:34
Oh, that's pretty easy.
10:35
and how much it was and the currency.
10:37
That's probably gonna be easier to track than, like...
10:39
And then you attach receipts, so you just take a picture.
10:41
Perfect.
10:42
Yeah, cool.
10:43
I don't know why we were ever using a spreadsheet for this before.
10:47
I'm sorry, I will get Excel open at some point here
10:52
and everything will be fine.
10:54
Hi, I was just wondering if you guys sell used computer parts?
10:59
Yeah.
11:07
Um, basically, we're, like, we're trying to build, uh,
11:10
a pretty good gaming system for a friend,
11:12
but we've only got, like, a few hundred bucks,
11:14
so we don't have a huge budget,
11:16
and we were thinking maybe buying used would be a good idea, so...
11:19
Oh.
11:30
Oh, okay.
11:34
Yeah, I think, um, I think we were looking for Windows,
11:37
so, um, thank you very much, then.
11:40
If you look at PC parts on Craigslist,
11:43
it comes up with Mac Maglock power adapters.
11:46
It's all Macs.
11:48
Macs to the max.
11:49
MacBook Air.
11:51
iMac.
11:53
MacBook Pro.
11:55
Apple Mac Remote.
11:57
This is what I'm dealing with here!
12:00
We should just build a Mac.
12:02
Like, what are we expecting for 500 US dollars?
12:05
So someone wants 400 bucks for an R7 370,
12:09
FX83 28 gigs RAM, 1 terabyte hard drive.
12:12
Holy .
12:14
This is not, like, as cheap.
12:16
as I was sort of hoping it would be.
12:18
There's a 970 for 190 bucks.
12:23
Should we decide now?
12:25
Like, do we go for the RGB modifier,
12:31
or do we forget about it?
12:33
I think we don't focus on it, at least at the start.
12:36
Do you think they're gonna go for it?
12:38
We could try and do it creatively.
12:40
Like, we could buy, like, red, green, and blue paint.
12:42
Yeah, I thought about that,
12:43
but making that look genuinely cool might be difficult.
12:46
Maybe not.
12:47
If we had enough time, like, it's hot here,
12:49
so paint would dry really fast.
12:51
Have you ever done, like, cornering?
12:54
Cornering.
12:55
Like, use a few different emails and phone numbers
12:58
to lowball super hard,
13:01
and then, like, do a more reasonable one?
13:03
You're such an .
13:06
I've never done that on Scrapyard Wars, I don't think.
13:08
Okay, should I get on creating a few gmails?
13:11
I have a few.
13:12
Of course you do.
13:14
Okay, so we're half an hour in,
13:18
and...
13:19
I have got the Scrapyard Wars 5 doc open
13:25
in my activated copy of Word.
13:28
That's where I'm at.
13:29
I got, honestly, almost nothing done for the first hour.
13:35
Hi, I was just wondering
13:36
if you guys sell used computer parts?
13:38
No, no parts.
13:40
Hi, I was wondering
13:41
if you guys have used computer components for sale?
13:44
Um, with the garage.
13:49
I really hope those guys are, like,
13:53
not finding anything right now,
13:55
because there is not a lot of time.
13:58
I just found a really good deal on Craigslist.
14:00
It was a 2500k overclockable
14:02
for 90 bucks in Garden Grove,
14:04
but I kind of screwed up.
14:06
What?
14:07
I emailed him from my business email.
14:09
Ooh.
14:10
Like, so he knows...
14:11
If he knows, if he recognizes me,
14:13
but in any way, shape, or form,
14:14
that means we can't do the deal.
14:15
Technically, rules of Scrapyard Wars,
14:17
so I'm really hoping that I'm not as popular.
14:20
If he doesn't recognize you,
14:21
then we would just want to confirm,
14:23
yes, we will pay this much,
14:24
and we will come and get it.
14:25
Yeah.
14:26
And then it wouldn't matter,
14:27
because we would have confirmed
14:28
the price beforehand.
14:29
Right.
14:30
Okay, so Inland Empire,
14:32
Norco, actually,
14:33
we have a i5 2500k-based system.
14:37
This is a complete system for $450.
14:40
Corsair memory looks like an 8-gig...
14:43
It seems like two 4-gig sticks.
14:46
P67 motherboard,
14:47
a GTX 950 graphics card,
14:49
so that's not that great,
14:50
but a Seasonic 600-watt power supply,
14:53
OCZ 240-gig SSD,
14:56
and even some, like, LED,
14:57
red LED fans in there.
14:58
So, it's a lot of stuff.
14:59
So, it's a lot of stuff.
15:00
So, it's a lot of stuff.
15:01
Maybe we could reply and ask him
15:02
if we could just omit the GTX 950,
15:03
since we don't need it,
15:04
as well as, like, there was, like,
15:05
bundling some other crappy gaming peripherals.
15:07
Motherboard, or keyboard, and a mouse.
15:09
Maybe if we could just eliminate those
15:10
and try to talk him down on price,
15:12
because right now it's $450,
15:13
which is most of our budget,
15:15
but if we can cut that down to, like, $350 or something...
15:19
Do you think ketchup and mustard cables count as RGB?
15:22
Oh, oh, oh, Kyle, Kyle, did you...
15:24
You didn't leave your backpack, did you?
15:25
Laptop?
15:26
No.
15:27
Damn.
15:31
We need to do something today, though.
15:32
We need to...
15:33
We gotta stop somewhere.
15:34
We need to interact with other humans.
15:35
It feels like we haven't done anything.
15:37
It's like we went to Lee's and ate sandwiches,
15:39
which was delicious.
15:40
I don't regret that.
15:42
In fact, we could just go back there again tomorrow, I think.
15:45
Oh, my God.
15:48
What if we just, like, went to a scrapyard
15:50
and, like, found some metal and, like, bent it?
15:53
I mean, we've got iFixit kits.
15:55
Yeah.
15:56
We'll make it work.
15:57
So, what does the iFixit ProTech Toolkit have in it?
16:00
Um...
16:01
Okay, we've got...
16:02
We've got a 64-bit screwdriver kit.
16:05
Is that good for bending metal?
16:07
I mean, it'll help us, like, fix it together.
16:10
No, okay.
16:11
It's got their prying tools.
16:15
I'm thinking steel, sheet steel.
16:18
No, not what that's for.
16:20
Suction cups for removing screens.
16:24
Um, we've got, uh...
16:27
We've got ESD-safe tweezers and ESD wrist strap.
16:32
So, this looks great for stabbing you for terrible ideas.
16:37
That was your idea.
16:38
Stab yourself.
16:39
That was not my idea.
16:41
To bend the metal?
16:43
Oh, that was my idea.
16:44
I said I was gonna make it out of wood.
16:45
Okay.
16:46
Well, okay.
16:47
So, the iFixit kit is good for lots of things.
16:49
Like making a case out of wood?
16:51
Like making...
16:52
No, it's not good for making a case out of wood.
16:53
You can screw it together.
16:54
It's good for reasonable things.
16:56
Hi, I called up, um, computer recycling team
17:03
and was recommended to you.
17:04
I'm looking to buy some used computer components.
17:06
I have a, like, 800-watt...
17:27
We're pretty comfortable with DIY and used stuff.
17:30
Like, we would, uh, we don't have that kind of a budget.
17:34
Like, I can already tell that power supply is gonna be, like,
17:36
half of what we would have to spend.
17:38
Okay.
17:44
Um, so you said you're gonna have some more used...
17:46
Do those motherboards that you had to go through tomorrow,
17:48
do those have CPUs and RAM in them as well?
17:50
Like, could we dig through the pile?
17:52
Oh.
17:53
Great, yeah.
18:22
Thanks.
18:23
All right, cool.
18:26
What?
18:28
50% or more off of ticket.
18:30
For brand...
18:31
For, like, wholesale stuff, I guess it makes sense,
18:35
because this is where all...
18:38
Like, this is where basically all the computer parts
18:40
for North America come in.
18:42
Yeah.
18:44
So I guess it's more likely, like,
18:46
for there to be a pallet of random motherboards
18:48
that, like, didn't sell or whatever.
18:51
I don't know.
18:52
I don't know if we're gonna do very well with that, though,
18:55
to be honest.
18:56
Because, like, if he only has the motherboard...
18:58
Like, bundles.
18:59
That's where you...
19:00
No, I know, I know.
19:01
But I often find, like...
19:03
Like, how many scrapyard wars have we had to buy a power supply
19:06
at the very end?
19:07
Yeah.
19:08
Like, almost every time.
19:09
Yeah.
19:10
And he's got a 50% off power supply.
19:11
Yeah, but, like, even a be quiet! 800 watt at 50% off
19:15
is still, like, $100.
19:18
You can spend, like, 40 bucks, 30 bucks on a power supply.
19:20
Yeah.
19:21
This is a 2400, 3.1 gigahertz.
19:24
It has 4 gigs of DDR3, I think 250.
19:30
Oh, okay.
19:31
We've seen significantly better pricing on that kind of era stuff,
19:35
so I might have to pass on that one.
19:37
But I'll call you back if our other leads fall through then.
19:40
Yeah.
19:44
Okay, thanks.
19:46
Did he say asshole?
19:47
Absolutely.
19:48
Ah.
19:49
Well, that's a lot nicer of a thing to say.
19:51
Yeah.
19:52
Okay, so there's a full gaming PC for $450,
19:56
which is right up there with our budget,
19:58
but it's almost $100.
20:00
It's good to go.
20:01
It's got an FX9590, Hyper 212 EVO, an R9 390,
20:05
which is a Sapphire card.
20:06
390 is still pretty solid.
20:08
16 gigs of DDR3, 725-watt power supply.
20:10
This thing is pretty much good to go right out the gate,
20:12
especially because it's got a Phanteks P400,
20:14
which is a fairly new case.
20:16
It's a very recent case that has RGB LEDs in it
20:19
and a 2-terabyte hard drive.
20:21
The only thing that's missing here is an SSD,
20:23
at least from the looks of it.
20:24
So that would give us 50 bucks for an SSD.
20:26
If we're just putting the OS on it,
20:27
we probably don't need more than a 60-gig SSD,
20:29
which is great.
20:30
Which we should be able to find for that price.
20:32
I'm emailing him right now.
20:34
The only issue is that he lives in Calabasas.
20:36
He or she lives in Calabasas,
20:38
which is probably an hour-fifteen drive one way
20:40
without traffic.
20:42
We're not having too much luck with Craigslist so far.
20:44
We've found some listings,
20:45
but we haven't heard back from anyone we've contacted yet.
20:47
So I have installed LetGo,
20:50
which is an app that just allows you to take a picture
20:53
of something and then offer it to people to trade stuff.
20:55
There does seem to be a decent amount of stuff in here.
20:57
I found this listing for three computer towers.
20:59
So just a case, but they're nine bucks each.
21:01
And if we can knock out a decent case
21:04
that'll fit everything and looks okay for nine dollars,
21:07
then I'll feel like we accomplished something today.
21:10
Hi, this message is for Jason.
21:13
I'm calling about...
21:16
Oh, can I start this over?
21:19
Oh, crap.
21:24
980 for 175, mother .
21:27
Yeah, if you come over,
21:28
I don't mind hooking it back up to my rig,
21:29
running it through a benchmark.
21:31
I'm off today, any time.
21:33
Let's go.
21:33
Okay.
21:35
So I realize we don't have an address yet,
21:37
but that's okay.
21:39
I have gummies.
21:40
So we'll go back to the hotel
21:41
while we wait for him to get back to us on the address.
21:44
I finally feel like we have a purpose.
21:46
Let's go.
21:47
Yeah, this is Lilia from JE Components.
21:50
You messaged us on eBay.
21:51
So you guys had some Xeons listed, correct?
21:54
Yes.
21:55
Were they 5670s?
21:56
Sorry, I've messaged quite a few people.
21:58
Yeah, 56, 5670.
22:01
But right now we have them listed for 110.
22:03
110.
22:04
Can you do any better than that?
22:06
Were you looking for the pair or?
22:08
I did want a pair of them
22:10
because the board that we were able to find,
22:12
like we're kind of scraping together bits and pieces here.
22:15
The best we can do right now is 100.
22:18
100 for both.
22:19
Yeah.
22:21
Yeah.
22:22
Like if we can't build a system for 325,
22:24
like then we should probably just stop making Scrapyard Wars
22:29
because we clearly suck.
22:31
Shoot, there's more than one.
22:33
Yeah.
22:34
Of the exact same address.
22:35
Like one of them's in Fullerton.
22:37
One of them's in Whittier.
22:39
I think there's actually more.
22:41
Does it say on his Craigslist ad?
22:44
Oh, I'll check.
22:45
I'll check.
22:46
That's in the dock, right?
22:47
Yep.
22:48
Okay, I'll check.
22:49
Oh, crap.
22:50
I think Bakersfield is a different place altogether.
22:53
Oh, my God.
22:56
This is two hours away.
22:58
Yeah, I'll call Paul.
23:00
We can ask for mercy.
23:02
Yeah.
23:03
If you were them, would you give us mercy?
23:05
I have before.
23:06
Yeah.
23:08
Yeah, but you're soft and weak like that.
23:11
So we wanted to know, you know, given the late start today,
23:15
you know, what would be the odds of doing like a longer pickup tonight, you know?
23:24
Go straight.
23:25
Go straight.
23:26
Go straight.
23:27
Go straight.
23:28
Actually, he's probably going to get picked in about a half an hour.
23:34
Okay.
23:35
Okay.
23:36
Okay.
23:37
I tried to talk him out of it.
23:39
You know, he just said, I don't care.
23:41
Yeah.
23:42
You or Scrapyard Wars or anything.
23:44
Yeah.
23:45
You know, I just, I really thought you guys were cool, which is...
23:48
Well, no, he's not saying no to us.
23:50
He's just saying that Kyle has to go.
23:52
We're just wondering if we can go drive somewhere and drive back.
23:54
So basically what you're saying is that Kyle's being pretty inconsiderate then.
23:59
I'm definitely passing the buck, yeah.
24:01
But, you know, we don't want to stretch the rules or bend them out of shape or go 18 hours over time or anything like that.
24:08
Yeah.
24:10
Okay.
24:11
All right.
24:12
I can respect that.
24:13
I can respect that.
24:14
I'm just going to be thinking about how much I respect that.
24:16
If you call me and you need a tool or whatever, you know.
24:19
Well, you know, we're not vengeful though.
24:21
So, all right.
24:22
All right.
24:23
Thanks, Paul.
24:24
I never know you need to be.
24:25
Okay.
24:26
Thanks, Paul.
24:27
Thanks, Paul.
24:28
Okay.
24:29
Bye.
24:30
Thanks for nothing, Paul.
24:31
You .
24:32
Yeah.
24:33
So Linus was asking if we could extend tonight during a time period when he knows you will not be here.
24:38
That's BS.
24:39
Okay.
24:40
I already told him that I wouldn't be available after 5.30ish or 6.
24:44
Yeah.
24:45
So unless you want to go alone, but I don't know if that's.
24:47
I wouldn't seem appropriate, especially because I might get mugged.
24:51
Oh, yeah.
24:52
And I know that your jiu-jitsu skills are probably.
24:55
That would be horrible.
24:56
If you got mugged, I don't, like, that would traumatize me.
24:58
Yeah.
24:59
You know.
25:00
Like, I don't know if I could handle that, you getting mugged.
25:02
If we have to pay $100 for the CPUs, we get the 24 gigs of RAM.
25:09
The dual socket board, the 175 GTX 980, the $40 case, if we can get the SSD for $35 with no tax, and we can get the hard drive for $10, then we are going to be, we're going to be $25 over.
25:31
Over.
25:32
Over.
25:33
$25 over.
25:34
I was testing them out, and one of them was defective, so I threw it away.
25:39
Okay.
25:40
So it's.
25:41
So it's two drives for $10?
25:43
Yeah.
25:47
You can have them for $10.
25:48
It's fine.
25:49
You can have both for $10.
25:50
I don't care.
25:51
Okay.
25:52
I'm calling up Michael here.
25:54
Let's see if Michael is going to come down from $250 to $175 on that there video card.
26:01
If I could talk to him, maybe I can reason with him.
26:07
I don't blame people for not picking up my calls.
26:09
Must show up on the caller ID, like, terrible person.
26:16
Hello?
26:17
Hi.
26:18
Is this Michael?
26:19
Yeah.
26:20
Hi.
26:21
Um, I saw your Craigslist ad for an MSI GTX 980.
26:25
Yeah.
26:26
Yeah.
26:27
Would you be interested?
26:28
Um, yeah.
26:29
I'm interested, but I, I hate to be, I hate to be one of those people, but I only have
26:35
$175.
26:36
Are you able to do that?
26:38
Um.
26:41
Sorry about work right now.
26:46
I can.
26:47
$125.
26:48
I can come get it, like, tomorrow.
26:50
Like, quick sale at least, if it has that going for it.
26:53
Uh.
26:54
I can't do $175.
26:56
I'm sorry.
26:57
Uh, how many, one, one seven or just one?
27:00
I, I, I only, I mean, I only have $175, so unless you wanted to do both of them for $175,
27:06
it's definitely just one.
27:08
I'm sorry.
27:09
I can't do that.
27:10
What's the best you can do?
27:12
Excuse me?
27:14
For one, uh, the best I can, the best I can do is $220, my man.
27:18
Is what, sorry?
27:20
It's $220.
27:21
$180?
27:22
$220.
27:23
Oh, $220.
27:24
Oh, okay.
27:25
Yeah, I definitely misheard you there.
27:28
Um.
27:29
Yeah.
27:30
Okay.
27:31
Thank you so much.
27:32
I just, I don't think that's in the cards for me right now.
27:34
I really appreciate it, though.
27:35
Um, actually, actually, could you do two?
27:38
What's that?
27:39
Sorry?
27:40
Could you do two?
27:41
$200.
27:42
$200?
27:44
I'm on a, I, you know what, I should probably tell you, like, sort of what, what's going
27:48
on here.
27:49
Um, basically, one of our buddies is moving away, he doesn't have a gaming rig, and everybody
27:54
scraped together $500.
27:56
That's all we've got.
27:57
Um, and so we're trying to get kind of everything for that.
28:02
And basically, we've budgeted it out, and we've got $175 for the video card.
28:07
Like, that's kind of where I'm at, and I can maybe stretch, like, another $10.
28:11
Like, could you do $185?
28:13
You know what?
28:14
I can do $185.
28:15
You can do $185?
28:16
Yeah.
28:17
Okay.
28:18
That is incredibly, incredibly cool of you.
28:20
I think we can, hold on.
28:21
I think we can make this work.
28:23
If we can get an SSD for $35.
28:26
And I get the CPUs from the other shop where there's no tax.
28:31
And we do, and we do 16 gigs of RAM instead of 24.
28:38
Then we're at $498.17.
28:45
Maybe I should have negotiated on the $2.50.
28:50
I'm telling you, dude.
28:51
So far we've got, like, what, two bucks?
28:54
Not even quite?
28:55
Uh, yeah, $2 left.
28:58
$2.
28:59
If I can get this guy, if I can get this guy to $7.50, then we'll have $4.50.
29:06
If we drive five hours, then we'll have $14.50, which is probably enough to do something RGB.
29:15
We could probably do something RGB for free.
29:20
Like, if we just wanted to, like, be idiots and, like, find red things and, like, leaves.
29:26
Fantastic.
29:28
That one works?
29:29
Absolutely.
29:30
Yeah, that one works.
29:31
Okay.
29:32
Done deal.
29:33
Pleasure doing business with you.
29:34
Thank you very much.
29:36
All right.
29:37
Does this have two drives in it?
29:38
This might have two drives in it.
29:39
Maybe it's, like, a RAID thing?
29:41
Is that what the dual interfaces are for?
29:43
Maybe there's actually two drives?
29:45
We'll have to see, but...
29:46
You know what's really funny is iFixit sponsored this, and we actually have to disassemble hard drive.
29:52
Day one, we have a thing.
29:55
Well, two things.
29:58
With that, our day is sort of done, though.
30:00
I think we got this.
30:01
Yeah, well, it's six o'clock.
30:03
Exactly.
30:04
We're just out getting food.
30:06
Yeah.
30:07
I have food.
30:08
Look.
30:09
Food.
30:10
Brandon, food?
30:11
Save food.
30:12
Yeah, we're not doing Scrapyard Wars anymore.
30:14
We're just getting some food.
30:15
Don't worry about it.
30:16
Okay, so let's drive back to the restaurant that we are at right now.
30:21
Okay, so this is day two, Scrapyard Wars.
30:30
Day one, Paul and I didn't really get any parts.
30:33
No one's here from the other team, right?
30:35
They can't hear us.
30:36
Okay, so we didn't get any parts yesterday,
30:38
so all the emails that I sent out was just casting a really wide net,
30:41
just being very polite and trying to see if anyone would reply.
30:45
I'm following up with all those people now.
30:47
Like, my house is on fire and we're all about to die
30:49
because we only have one more day of this.
30:51
Tomorrow is pretty much judgment day,
30:53
so pretty much we need to start parting things together,
30:55
hopefully by the end of tonight, early tomorrow morning.
30:58
So we're just going to have to see if people respond to a sense of urgency
31:03
and can tell in the tone of my emails
31:05
that this is a matter of life.
31:11
I feel like we've made some real connections
31:13
on a deep, emotional, human level
31:15
with the people that we're trying to negotiate with,
31:17
and that's important. We're getting the best deals.
31:19
Sorry, but I'm trying to get rid of the whole computer,
31:21
not interested in parting out. Screw you!
31:23
Kyle has some strategery he's working on right now.
31:26
We'll see if that works out. I'm not really sure.
31:29
Are you serious right now?
31:30
Yeah.
31:31
You're literally cleaning your car.
31:33
That's important.
31:34
In day two of Scrapyard Wars.
31:35
We need to be able to see clearly out the Windows
31:37
to the computer hardware that's outside.
31:39
You should not have Windex in your hand
31:41
unless it's for a side panel window, damn it.
31:43
All right, first stop for today is Fullerton, California.
31:48
Lovely town, established in 1898.
31:51
Get to the point, Paul.
31:52
Sorry.
31:54
There's a guy there with cases.
31:56
He has, I think he has four of them.
31:58
Some of them have some parts still in them.
32:01
Given that he's got four and he wants like nine bucks for them,
32:04
and it sounds like he might even just be like,
32:06
just please take these,
32:07
it might be just kind of a good stepping out
32:09
off point, get something in hand,
32:11
very minimal investments.
32:13
And we're really hoping there might be a power supply
32:16
in one of them that's usable too.
32:18
In other news, I just got a reply from the dude
32:20
that has a CPU and motherboard.
32:24
It's a KSKU.
32:25
I can't even remember, probably a 2600K.
32:28
It's all a border right now,
32:29
but it's a good CPU and motherboard.
32:30
And this is the guy who didn't want to meet us at lunch
32:34
because on his lunch break from work
32:36
because he said it was going to take too long
32:38
to assemble the system.
32:39
I told him that I'm a full-time system builder
32:41
and I could provide any assistance if possible.
32:43
And he said, that won't speed things up.
32:45
I just need to unscrew everything,
32:46
including my specialty mounted liquid cooler from the board.
32:48
Can you text me at this number?
32:50
So we got a number from him.
32:51
That's good.
32:52
So faster communication.
32:53
He said that would be faster.
32:54
I might be able to work something out.
32:56
I'm okay with you.
32:58
We're okay.
32:59
You know me.
33:00
I mean, I've got so much stuff listed on Craigslist.
33:02
I have so much stuff listed on LetGo and OfferUp
33:05
that afterwards I'll drop the price.
33:08
You just got to clear it out.
33:10
Are each of these 10 bucks?
33:12
Or what's actually the pricing on?
33:14
For this full working one, about 30.
33:17
25, 30.
33:18
For this, 10, 10.
33:19
That one, 5.
33:21
Do you know what's inside of that, by the way?
33:23
XP.
33:24
It's an XP?
33:25
It's a Dell.
33:26
It's a Dell.
33:27
There's a modem in there.
33:29
Yeah, here. Look, guys.
33:30
So it's also potentially a proprietary power supply.
33:33
So the power supply will not work for us.
33:36
Oh, okay.
33:38
It's proprietary, so it doesn't have the...
33:40
You guys are looking for something.
33:42
We're trying to part out an entire system
33:44
as quickly and as inexpensively as possible.
33:47
This is the basic game.
33:49
So there's a hard drive in there.
33:53
But I do appreciate you contacting me.
33:55
I do appreciate you following up.
33:56
Of course.
33:57
I like people like that
33:58
because I can drop the price
33:59
and get rid of all this stuff.
34:00
Yeah, yeah.
34:01
My wife can be happy.
34:02
I can be happy.
34:03
You can be happy.
34:04
This is an ATX chassis.
34:06
It could work.
34:07
It's got a window.
34:08
So technically, we'd be able to put some RGB lighting in it
34:11
and it would shine through.
34:13
Nothing else is really usable.
34:15
The hard drive's only 40 gig.
34:17
And it looks like we don't have the correct pins
34:20
or anything on that motherboard.
34:22
Well, the motherboard's just super outdated.
34:24
I don't even know what chipset it is.
34:26
The case looks good, though.
34:28
The case could work.
34:30
How much did you say for this one again?
34:32
Nine dollars.
34:33
Okay.
34:34
That is very strange.
34:35
I want you happy, guys.
34:36
I just can't hold this stuff.
34:37
I can't get back in the garage.
34:38
I feel you.
34:39
Yeah.
34:40
So this one doesn't have a window.
34:41
I'm trying to be honest.
34:42
Yeah, it's trying to find buyers for stuff.
34:44
I haven't had a job for over a year, guys.
34:46
Yeah.
34:47
I tend to hold on to things.
34:51
I feel you.
34:53
Are you sold on this one?
34:54
Do you think this will work?
34:55
It's got the space we need.
34:57
Is it a standard power supply mount?
34:59
Yeah, it's a typical standard ATX power supply mount.
35:02
All right, that'll work.
35:03
What about this girl?
35:04
We like the window on this guy
35:05
because that's one of the chipsets.
35:07
I can tell his wife was just like,
35:09
if you bring any of these home,
35:11
I'm going to continue to be mad at you or whatever.
35:13
So I offered to like, we can just take another one.
35:16
The cases were in pretty bad shape.
35:18
They weren't going to be able to be sold to anyone
35:20
besides people doing something like this.
35:22
Honestly, just to help you out with the wife situation
35:25
or whatever, I'll take one of them
35:27
if you just want to get rid of it
35:29
and come home with a little bit less stuff.
35:31
I mean, I'll probably end up recycling it, honestly.
35:34
But I mean, if that helps you.
35:36
Take that one in.
35:37
Okay.
35:38
You can do that.
35:39
All right.
35:41
Sir, for this guy right here, no change needed.
35:44
Extra doctor is a sign of gratitude.
35:47
Thank you so much.
35:49
This is perfect.
35:50
This is exactly what we're looking for right now.
35:52
Good, good.
35:53
Yes.
35:54
You did something good today.
35:55
You just made our day.
35:56
Success.
35:57
We should just call it here.
36:00
We're good.
36:01
Yeah.
36:02
Should have just taken his fully built system
36:04
and just presented that.
36:05
That would have been awesome.
36:07
Yeah.
36:08
All right.
36:09
This is wonderful.
36:11
Okay.
36:12
Day two.
36:13
Not a lot of good communication overnight.
36:19
But at least we have these really ancient-looking hard drives.
36:26
So there's that.
36:28
Yeah.
36:29
So I heard back from a lot of guys
36:31
I messaged about GTX 980s.
36:33
185 is definitely our best deal.
36:37
Okay.
36:38
This guy said 200.
36:40
This guy...
36:42
This guy's the 175 with the five-hour round-trip drive,
36:46
which I don't...
36:47
I think we shouldn't kill it yet.
36:49
I'll just...
36:51
Don't close the communication line.
36:53
I'll leave him hanging.
36:54
Yes.
36:55
I'll leave him hanging, which is just not very considerate.
36:57
A little bit rude, but it's fine.
36:59
Okay.
37:00
So I'm not going to lie.
37:01
That's some of the bad news for today.
37:03
The place with the bulk of the components,
37:05
motherboard, RAM, tower, SSD,
37:07
I haven't heard back from them since the afternoon yesterday.
37:11
And I've emailed them at the end of the day yesterday
37:14
and first thing this morning.
37:16
And what I said was,
37:18
we found the CPUs cheaper somewhere else,
37:20
so that freed up some budget.
37:22
And I wanted to take the tower for 40,
37:24
the motherboard for 75,
37:26
16 gigs, not 24 gigs of RAM for 40,
37:29
which is like per DIMM.
37:31
That's the price they gave.
37:32
And the 128 gig SSD,
37:33
I didn't try to negotiate.
37:34
I left it at 45 bucks.
37:35
And I was like,
37:36
okay, that should be 200 plus tax.
37:38
I haven't heard from them.
37:39
And they said,
37:40
once you place an order,
37:41
it's a one day lead time.
37:43
Yeah, we have much bigger problems right now.
37:47
IT Recycle Pro is in Palo Alto.
37:50
If they respond,
37:56
we could take a flight.
37:57
Technically,
37:58
flying is not against the rules.
38:00
It is a transport cost.
38:02
Transport costs are not within the fixed budget.
38:06
Palo, Ontario,
38:07
Ontario Airport, Palo Alto.
38:09
You look up Ontario,
38:10
I'll look up LAX.
38:15
LAX is only about an hour and a half drive from here.
38:18
How are we going to transport a server back on the plane?
38:21
You know what?
38:24
There's a nonstop flight from 7.45 tonight to 9.
38:28
Do they have Uber Chopper here?
38:30
Hi, this might be kind of a stupid question,
38:34
but is it possible to charter a flight to San Fran from LA?
38:43
Yeah, no, it's not stupid.
38:45
What date and time are you looking at?
38:48
Well, that's where it gets kind of stupid.
38:50
It would probably be today.
38:53
What time today?
38:55
So we don't know yet.
38:57
Long story short,
38:58
we're filming a thing,
39:00
and there's a part that it's,
39:03
that we'll know probably within the next hour or two.
39:06
There's a part that we need,
39:08
and the only way to get it might be to go pick it up in San Francisco.
39:12
So we would need a flight up there and then a flight back.
39:15
How many passengers are we going to have?
39:18
Two, three, three, three.
39:19
Sorry, there's a camera operator.
39:21
And just so you're aware,
39:24
a lot of folks associate us with helicopters.
39:26
Totally correct.
39:27
But for a trip like this,
39:29
I'd probably push you towards an airplane.
39:31
It's actually going to be a little bit more cost effective for you guys.
39:34
I've never flown in a helicopter.
39:36
It would be super cool.
39:37
So maybe I could get a price for both?
39:39
Yeah, absolutely.
39:40
That's no problem.
39:41
I hate to do this to you,
39:43
but can I have like kind of a ballpark?
39:45
Like are we looking at $2,000 or $20,000?
39:48
Just so I know what I'm dealing with.
39:51
And it's round trip.
39:52
We would need to come back.
39:54
We'd probably have to pay for an hour of sitting on the airfield,
39:57
I guess is how that works, right?
40:00
Yeah, yeah.
40:01
I'll see which operator we go with.
40:03
Yeah, so it looks like it would be about $6,000 each way.
40:08
Okay, got it.
40:09
Thank you.
40:10
Does that seem reasonable?
40:11
That seems like if we don't have another choice,
40:13
we're going to have to go for it.
40:15
All right.
40:16
Well, we'll see if we can bring the cost down as much as possible.
40:19
And when you reconnect with us,
40:20
we should have a few options for you, okay?
40:22
Okay, thanks, man.
40:23
You're welcome.
40:24
Okay, bye.
40:25
So I think we need to explore other options.
40:27
So Virgin has a nonstop from 6.30 to 8 o'clock from LAX to SFO.
40:33
So tonight is our late pickup night.
40:36
Yeah.
40:37
That flight is only $292.
40:41
So if we were to get a hotel there,
40:44
or you know what we could do?
40:46
Here's a crazy thought.
40:47
What if we flew there and drove back?
40:50
I was actually kind of thinking if we like check in the car here,
40:55
say we need to pick it up again.
40:57
Yeah.
40:58
And just get it from the same guys and then drive back.
41:01
So we fly out at like 5 tonight or something.
41:04
Yeah.
41:05
And then just drive back.
41:07
And it would be quite late when we'd get back.
41:09
It's better for the server though.
41:11
Dude, we're going to end up here all day again.
41:13
Like we got to get out and get moving.
41:15
We need some other.
41:16
Okay, here's what I'm going to do.
41:18
I'm going to call the guy with the CPUs,
41:22
the guy who works at the like film studio.
41:25
Maybe they have the rest of the workstation.
41:27
And I have other good news.
41:29
The guys that I called and talked to
41:32
who were willing to do the cash deal on the CPUs.
41:35
Yeah.
41:36
But their pricing wasn't any better.
41:38
Those guys are local, local.
41:40
Inglewood.
41:41
Okay.
41:42
So they haven't replied to my email
41:44
saying all the stuff I needed though.
41:46
But they're local and they said we could go there.
41:48
Okay.
41:49
Now I feel terrible because I was like
41:52
the guy that I've strung along for so long.
41:55
What's his name?
41:56
Justin.
41:57
I'm like emailing and being like,
41:58
yeah, what time can we come today?
41:59
The earlier the better.
42:01
Now I look like a total asshole.
42:03
It's like,
42:04
we didn't realize that you're in a completely different city
42:07
because we're idiots.
42:09
Just don't say that.
42:11
I feel like we would like to present it to him
42:13
like later tonight.
42:15
If we flew there at night,
42:16
we wouldn't even be able to go into their shop.
42:17
They'd be closed.
42:19
Yeah, there's earlier flights though.
42:21
Oh, that was the earliest one I saw.
42:23
Are you sure the earlier ones aren't like 17 hours
42:25
with like multiple stops?
42:27
Yeah, they'll be closed for sure.
42:30
Unless we were able to get on one 15 minutes ago.
42:33
Right.
42:34
Because I think it's like morning and then like evening.
42:37
Studio guy's not picking up.
42:39
I'm going to call JE Components here.
42:41
I can't believe I overlooked that.
42:43
I spent all this time like,
42:44
basically we built the entire strategy
42:46
around getting that bare bones from those guys.
42:49
This is like not good.
42:51
JE Components might be an okay alternative though.
42:54
Hi.
42:55
I called into you guys yesterday about,
42:58
we're putting together,
42:59
actually it's like a gaming computer,
43:01
but we think we can use some server hardware for it.
43:04
Okay.
43:05
I did send you an email,
43:07
but our situation has changed a little bit.
43:10
We found a really cheap source for the CPUs,
43:13
but we still need RAM, motherboard,
43:16
chassis and power supply and cooling
43:19
as well as a cheap SSD.
43:23
Are we able to come in?
43:24
Do you guys have just kind of random
43:26
dual socket motherboards and some,
43:28
we're actually looking for a tower chassis,
43:30
not a rack mount chassis if possible.
43:32
Sure.
43:33
Thank you so much.
43:34
We're kind of desperate.
43:35
Shoot.
43:37
Honestly,
43:42
I haven't found anything like as big
43:45
and professional looking as these guys though.
43:49
Oh, 1230.
43:52
Oh, that's in an hour and a half.
43:54
That's not bad.
43:55
That's from Ontario to SFO too.
43:59
That's a good flight.
44:01
Yeah.
44:02
That's a good flight.
44:04
I'll give Justin like 235.
44:08
235 bucks.
44:09
Yep.
44:10
Okay.
44:13
And then we'd be back by 630.
44:15
Hey, Justin.
44:16
It's Ash calling from our emails yesterday.
44:19
If we were able to get there before five,
44:21
would we be able to get it today?
44:23
Is it possible?
44:24
I think we could go ahead and make that happen.
44:28
Email me your shipping address
44:29
and I'll take care of that.
44:31
Okay.
44:32
Great, thank you.
44:34
Right there.
44:35
Hold on, we might have a slight problem.
44:37
Shipping address?
44:38
I didn't account for tax for the SSD in our budget.
44:41
We're $2 over.
44:43
I should have let you negotiate on the hard drive.
44:47
Look, you were right and I was wrong.
44:49
Do you feel good about it?
44:51
No.
44:52
Should we just show up and be $2 short?
44:56
I don't think they're going to let us get away with that.
44:58
No.
44:59
These guys are, like, kind of legit.
45:02
Michael might.
45:03
We're pushing our meeting out with him another day.
45:06
Like, we're kind of screwing Michael.
45:09
So we're screwing Michael and Omid,
45:11
and we expect one of them to give us a $2 discount.
45:17
Well, let's get moving, one way or another.
45:20
Like, we don't have a choice.
45:27
There's no other flight?
45:29
Not really.
45:31
What time do we have to be at the airport?
45:33
Uh, 12.20.
45:35
12.20 at the airport?
45:37
Yeah, so we have 45 minutes.
45:39
Can we get to Michael first?
45:40
Oh, my God.
45:41
And passports?
45:43
Here, I'm grabbing your iFixit.
45:44
Let's go.
45:45
Where's Michael?
45:46
Yeah, we'll figure it out.
45:47
Oh, no, I have mine.
45:48
I have mine.
45:48
Let's just get the f*** out of here.
45:50
Will these cases help Paul and Kyle tower above the competition?
45:55
Will Luke and Linus make their flight,
45:57
or are they destined to be grounded?
45:59
Find out next time on Scrapyard Wars.
