Okay, sorry, what is this called?
0:01
Huashang Bay.
0:02
Hahaha.
0:03
Fantastic.
0:04
Alright, so I'm here at, uh...
0:07
Huashang Bay.
0:08
Yeah, perfect, thank you.
0:09
With Scotty from Strange Parts, so I'm getting me some strange parts in China, which is actually
0:17
exactly what we're doing.
0:18
So in this, like, gigantic tech mall thing, they have everything from components like
0:25
switches to computer parts to drones to cryptocurrency crap, mobile phones, pretty much you name
0:31
it, they've got it here.
0:33
So I don't really have any objective other than to go shopping and see exactly what it
0:37
is that I can buy with my little stack of Canadian rubles here.
0:42
So wish me luck, and hopefully that's not for me.
0:45
Nah, I think we're good.
0:53
This video is brought to you by Corsair's Subsidian 500D.
0:57
It's a mid-tower gaming case featuring premium tempered lights.
1:00
Glass and aluminum construction, removable top fan trays, and more, check it out at the
1:03
link below.
1:04
I think this is going to be an uphill battle to get them to even recognize what those are,
1:08
let alone know the value of them.
1:09
They're going to be like, what is this sh**?
1:10
Yeah, yeah.
1:11
Yeah, no, it's okay, because there's an ATM.
1:12
Yeah, right, yep.
1:13
This is the world's most helpful error message, transaction is cancelled for some reason,
1:20
operation time out, thank you.
1:22
Okay.
1:25
So, like, this is the kind of stuff that I wish we had a shop like this, like, we were
1:32
trying to do a piece a little wider.
1:33
A while ago, where we wanted lit buttons, or like, big fun buttons that we could press.
1:40
And if we could have just walked into a mall and bought them, that would have made my Christmas.
1:44
The cool thing about here, particularly for buttons, is you can actually come in and touch
1:47
them, right?
1:48
So, like, the button feel is super important.
1:49
Oh my god, I already found something I need.
1:52
Entire bags of, like, motherboard standoffs.
1:56
I was trying to buy just a bag of computer screws, only place I could find for it was
2:01
on eBay.
2:02
Pricing was totally unreasonable.
2:03
Yeah, and it will be very reasonable here.
2:06
Smart watches.
2:07
Yep.
2:08
Totally 100% real Beats.
2:09
These are probably, like, semi-real.
2:11
Semi-real?
2:12
Yeah, like, refurb-type.
2:13
Right, okay.
2:14
Yep.
2:15
Wow, this place is enormous.
2:16
Crazy, right?
2:17
This is probably one of 20 buildings.
2:18
Honestly, it's overwhelming.
2:19
Yeah.
2:20
Okay.
2:21
So, here's stuff I mostly recognize.
2:22
Right.
2:23
Here, there's, like, a bunch of mining gear.
2:24
Yeah.
2:25
Like, ant miners and stuff like that.
2:26
Yeah.
2:27
Yeah.
2:28
Yeah.
2:29
Yeah.
2:30
Yeah.
2:31
Yeah.
2:32
Yeah.
2:33
And here's all the like, the realologne supplies and what else do they got?
2:35
Mining power supplies.
2:36
Got an Apple cash machine.
2:38
ROG something something.
2:43
Looks like very similar SKUs.
2:46
Yep.
2:48
Uh, just looking.
2:53
Just, looking.
2:55
Uh, okay.
2:57
No, I don't necessarily want to get let in here.
3:00
Hi, no, I'm just looking around.
3:02
It's okay.
3:03
Thank you.
3:04
I mean, this is the kind of thing you would never find in a real estate store, actually.
3:08
Yeah.
3:09
retail store back home.
3:10
This is like dual socket,
3:12
like server boards and stuff like that.
3:14
Can you ask how much this 1,800 watt power supply is?
3:21
It's like 50 bucks.
3:23
50 bucks?
3:23
Yeah.
3:24
$50 for an 1,800 watt power supply?
3:26
Yeah.
3:27
It doesn't feel like an 1,800 watt power supply.
3:29
Oh my God.
3:30
It's actually only rated for 1,600.
3:32
Also, this is a mining only power supply.
3:35
So it only does 12 volt.
3:37
This is just all mining .
3:38
They did not use it this way.
3:40
These are mining specific cards right here.
3:41
These ones without coolers
3:43
and they actually do have a display output,
3:45
but like just the one.
3:47
Wow, look at this stuff.
3:49
Yeah, so they've got things
3:50
like these mining specific boards.
3:52
And this is used.
3:53
ASUS demo board.
3:57
Here's a brand of motherboard
3:58
that I've certainly never heard of.
4:00
Sometimes it's just fascinating.
4:02
Like you walk up to a booth and you kind of go,
4:05
what are you doing?
4:06
You know?
4:07
Like if you really need a B250M HD3,
4:10
or a WD green SSD or a bison fan, then you're good.
4:14
But like.
4:15
So, I mean, this is indicative of the markets,
4:16
which is just like a high degree of specialization in booths.
4:19
But it's also just like a different way of doing business.
4:21
There's just not a lot of like vertical integration.
4:23
It's everybody does their one little thing
4:25
and has friends that do the other bits.
4:28
Fundamental problem for PC stuff is that.
4:31
What's this?
4:32
Pricing across regions has really leveled out.
4:35
Yeah.
4:37
That's a wonderful question.
4:38
I'm actually not sure what this is.
4:41
It doesn't seem to be in any sort of hurry to tell us.
4:42
DTMF.
4:43
Is this like telephone gear?
4:47
I mean, they still have LGA 775 motherboards here,
4:51
like brand new.
4:53
That's incredible.
4:55
Oh wow.
4:56
Okay.
4:57
I can't even like focus my eyes on it.
4:58
At one point she was burning paper with one of these.
5:00
So just be careful.
5:02
Oh, yeah.
5:03
It's this one.
5:04
How much is that one?
5:05
This one?
5:06
Yeah.
5:07
I don't know.
5:08
We'll ask.
5:10
Oh, here we go.
5:10
Oh my God.
5:11
Watch the reflections on the glass.
5:13
I think my kids would end up going blind if they found it.
5:16
Yes.
5:17
Yes, that's true.
5:18
Yeah.
5:19
I'll pass.
5:19
I'll pass on this one for now.
5:20
Okay.
5:21
Oh yeah.
5:22
Yeah.
5:23
I'm getting a $3 discount now.
5:24
Yeah.
5:24
Okay.
5:25
Yep.
5:26
Yeah.
5:27
I'm okay.
5:28
I'm okay.
5:29
I'm okay.
5:29
If I decide I'll get one, I'll come back.
5:30
Okay.
5:31
Okay.
5:32
My recommendation is if you think you want something,
5:33
you should just buy it while you're there.
5:34
Oh, okay.
5:34
Yeah.
5:35
So what I figured out at this point is
5:38
I definitely need some kind of an objective
5:40
because you could wander around in here for weeks.
5:43
And still have no idea where the hell you are.
5:46
And I have.
5:47
And what you're doing.
5:48
I have.
5:49
So yeah, if you have something specific you want to do,
5:51
I'm happy to try and make that happen as best we can.
5:54
Okay.
5:55
I want the cheapest laptop in this entire mall.
5:59
Cheapest laptop in the entire mall.
6:01
Yeah.
6:02
Let's do that.
6:03
Okay.
6:03
Let's see how usable it is.
6:05
Yeah.
6:06
Okay.
6:07
I'm trying to think where we would go for that.
6:08
But yeah, okay.
6:09
Let's maybe jump buildings.
6:11
Sure.
6:12
Because you've seen this one.
6:12
Okay.
6:13
You've seen laptops and stuff?
6:14
Okay. Sounds good.
6:15
Yeah.
6:16
It's an unusual thing going into somewhere
6:18
with the objective to buy the worst thing that you can find.
6:20
Yeah.
6:22
I mean, if they weren't trying,
6:23
I don't know how they could have made
6:25
two completely different buildings
6:27
full of completely different people and things
6:29
look so identical.
6:30
Once you start coming here more,
6:31
it does actually, like you do notice differences.
6:34
There is a different mix of stuff here, but.
6:36
Right.
6:37
But it's a different mix.
6:38
But it's subtle.
6:39
It's not fundamentally different.
6:40
It's subtle.
6:40
It is subtle.
6:41
Laptops, he wants to buy.
6:44
Cheap laptop.
6:46
Laptop.
6:47
Yeah.
6:50
Actually, yeah, Eric, can you jump in?
6:52
Okay, we want the cheapest possible laptop.
6:54
Like in.
6:54
Laptop.
6:56
It's my translator.
6:58
Laptop, right.
6:59
Notebook.
7:00
Notebook, yeah.
7:01
Notebook, then you go here, and then down.
7:06
So, one problem here,
7:09
where the really nice guy from upstairs directed us,
7:13
is that none of this is off-brand.
7:15
This is like,
7:17
Lenovo, Samsung, ASUS, Dell.
7:20
This is a start set, 6,000, what, yen?
7:25
RMB.
7:26
RMB?
7:27
Yeah, U1, yeah.
7:27
It's about six to one.
7:28
So divide by six.
7:29
It's about $1,000.
7:30
Okay, I mean, that's about what, like,
7:33
an Envy would start at back at home.
7:35
Like, I don't think we're gonna find anything
7:37
that weird and or cheap here.
7:39
Tell you what.
7:40
What do you edit your videos on?
7:42
Final Cut or Premiere.
7:44
I have Final Cut's my editor of choice, but my editor, you know.
7:45
Okay.
7:45
Yeah.
7:46
I have Final Cut's my editor of choice,
7:47
but my editor uses Premiere.
7:48
Here's what we're doing.
7:49
We're building an editing rig for Strange Parts' editor.
7:54
Because when in doubt,
7:56
and I can't figure out what to make a video about,
7:58
I just build a computer.
7:59
Well.
8:00
So it.
8:01
Nope, that's what we're doing.
8:02
Okay.
8:03
Let's do it.
8:04
So let's go back to PC Component Lab.
8:05
Okay, go back upstairs here, maybe?
8:07
Sure.
8:08
So my editor is in Mexico.
8:10
Your editor's in Mexico, of course.
8:10
It could be my editing rig,
8:13
or my transcoding rig.
8:14
You know what, I don't care what you do with it.
8:15
Okay.
8:16
I'm just gonna watch this video.
8:18
So if you don't send it to him, then, you know what?
8:20
That's for you guys.
8:20
It's true, it's true.
8:21
I'm gonna have to sort that out.
8:23
Oh no, Linus has stars in his eyes here.
8:26
Oh my God.
8:27
He's looking devious.
8:28
I think I've fallen in love.
8:31
It's actually like the construction of it is not bad too.
8:34
Like from a distance, it looked like plastic garbage,
8:38
but it's actually aluminum garbage.
8:39
It's like proper, yeah.
8:41
So it's exhaust going out either side
8:43
with these like baffles,
8:45
and then the whole thing is a big intake.
8:47
Holy .
8:47
Is this thing like 300 bucks?
8:48
300 bucks, yep.
8:50
Wow.
8:51
How much is a Ferrari,
8:52
definitely real Ferrari power supply to go with it?
8:55
Dang.
8:56
Let's look around a little more.
8:58
I mean, we might find something else,
9:00
but I don't know if I could love anything more than that case.
9:03
Sorry, hun.
9:04
I'm feeling good.
9:05
We're off to a very good start here.
9:07
Look at this stuff.
9:09
That is some ghetto ass water cooling supplies.
9:12
I don't know how I can resist.
9:15
So they have absolutely nothing at all?
9:17
What?
9:17
It's not the fan.
9:18
It's just display.
9:19
Oh, what's the point of having something on display
9:22
if you can't sell it?
9:26
So that one and that one.
9:31
Oh, wow.
9:33
That radiator weighs almost nothing.
9:36
That is aluminum AF.
9:38
And I actually don't even know if this,
9:40
oh, do you hear that like crack when I try to put it on?
9:41
Okay, 15 bucks for this though?
9:43
Not that bad.
9:44
Not that bad.
9:45
Okay, let's continue our quest.
9:46
Ah, thank you.
9:47
I don't really see anything here that's jumping out.
9:49
Nothing out at me as having sufficient RGB-ness.
9:52
Okay, this, that is my kind of RGB
9:56
and looks a lot more sensible in terms of pricing as well.
10:01
Okay, I expected that.
10:03
Okay, that's pretty cool.
10:05
It doesn't actually have a microphone though.
10:07
That is totally cheating.
10:08
Is that true?
10:11
Yeah, no, it's just cheating.
10:13
So the question was like, should we haggle over this, right?
10:17
And so my rule of thumb is like,
10:18
if I think it's a fair price, then I don't.
10:20
Like I don't push on it.
10:22
Most people in the market are not like marking stuff up
10:24
because it's like wholesale.
10:26
There's just not the expectation that like,
10:28
particularly buying one,
10:29
that they're gonna like really gouge you.
10:31
The one thing I need to know is
10:32
if I have anywhere to mount my radiator inside.
10:35
So Eric, can you ask him if I can take it down
10:38
and open it up?
10:38
Okay, you should be in pretty good shape.
10:42
Okay, yep, I'm sold.
10:44
Looks good to me.
10:45
So I know I said that you don't screw around
10:48
on the power supply and the motherboard.
10:50
Yeah.
10:51
But I am definitely gonna be finding,
10:52
brands that I don't recognize for both of them.
10:56
Okay.
10:57
Because we are gonna have,
10:58
we're gonna have the Chinese PC experience.
11:01
Wow, Colorful makes motherboards.
11:04
Yeah.
11:05
That's fun.
11:05
Okay, so I wanna know how much for that one.
11:11
It's a Battleaxe.
11:12
I don't know what the brand is, I can't read it.
11:15
But it says Battleaxe on it.
11:17
Yeah, the brown one at the bottom.
11:19
There's nothing on here that would indicate
11:22
sort of what it is.
11:22
It does have USB 3.
11:24
Colorful?
11:25
Oh, it's a Colorful board.
11:26
Oh, okay.
11:27
Do you have anything bigger?
11:30
Full ATX?
11:32
Here, why don't we just pick up a board here?
11:35
Let's just talk to our buddy here.
11:37
Yeah.
11:38
All right.
11:39
Okay.
11:40
Do you have a motherboard CPU memory?
11:42
CPU memory?
11:44
Okay, let me try that again.
11:45
This, what motherboards do you have?
11:50
Do you have anything like full size ATX, more slots?
11:54
Yeah.
11:55
Yeah.
11:56
What about memory?
11:57
Memory?
11:58
Okay, so that's an eight gig Kingston stick.
12:01
Wait, it's a hundred bucks for one stick?
12:03
Okay, no, hold on.
12:06
Yeah, I don't think that's very good pricing.
12:08
I think we can do better elsewhere.
12:10
We gotta start buying stuff
12:11
or we're gonna run out of time here.
12:13
Does anyone here speak English?
12:18
No, I think that one's okay.
12:20
Okay.
12:21
So we're reaching a deal on a Ryzen chip and a V350 motherboard.
12:27
But if I understand correctly, he doesn't have stock here.
12:32
He's just gonna go to one of the other stores and buy it.
12:34
So.
12:35
Maybe, or there's a storeroom somewhere else.
12:37
That's pretty common too.
12:38
It's like, there'll be another booth somewhere
12:41
that has the stock.
12:42
That's less like visible than this.
12:44
I hate this.
12:45
I wanna go back to shopping online.
12:47
Fun fact, we're paying more than the other guy quoted us,
12:50
but at this point I don't care.
12:52
Fine.
12:52
So here's the situation.
12:54
We have like 20 minutes before this whole place closes down.
12:57
We have like 2,500RMB left to get a GPU storage,
13:01
the power supply, and a cooler.
13:03
Because clearly this tubing is not gonna do us any good.
13:07
I hate this.
13:10
This is not a great shopping experience that I'm having.
13:14
I am stressed out.
13:16
Okay, so these guys have Galax 1060's.
13:18
Let's find out how much.
13:19
—Sorry, which brand again?
13:21
Galax.
13:21
—Galax.
13:22
—Is he quoting 2000?
13:25
—Yeah.
13:27
—Okay, we're gonna have a cashless version.
13:31
—Hold on a second.
13:31
We're gonna open these.
13:32
Worst case scenario, all we still need is storage
13:35
and a power supply because we can use the stock cooler.
13:37
Okay.
13:38
And then we can just throw this radiator
13:40
in the back for lulls.
13:42
And I'm gonna need a screwdriver.
13:43
Well, the other option is to go find a repair booth
13:45
and be like you and a Chinese guy
13:48
putting this together together.
13:49
Oh my God.
13:50
So that's an option.
13:51
2550.
13:54
I think we'll have to move on.
13:57
Okay, lots of high-end stuff here.
14:00
1080s, 1080Ti's.
14:02
We don't want that.
14:05
I'm determined to get the rest of the stuff here.
14:07
So here we go.
14:08
We need SSD, power supply.
14:12
Do you have 1060?
14:15
Is that it?
14:17
Oh, okay.
14:17
So 2360, that's a little better.
14:21
And then I can't even tell
14:23
what the wattage of these things are.
14:26
600 watt?
14:27
All right, so we'll take this one.
14:29
We're definitely getting at least one product
14:31
where I don't recognize the brand at all.
14:33
I've never heard of Neatac.
14:35
Eric's trying to get us
14:36
a 60 RMB off and he's offering us 10,
14:38
which is about $2, $2 discount.
14:40
Fine, I don't care anymore.
14:41
Okay, fine.
14:43
We've got a $2 discount, man.
14:45
You know, like 10 years from now,
14:47
I'm gonna have like $2.
14:50
I'm gonna like desperately need it
14:51
to take a bus somewhere.
14:53
And that's gonna be all I have.
14:54
And I'm gonna be like,
14:55
thank God Eric saved me that $2
14:57
on that power supply SSD.
14:59
What is the total over here?
15:03
It was 3050.
15:05
Can I owe you some money?
15:06
I'll have to go to the ATM again.
15:08
Okay.
15:08
All right, do we need to go back
15:09
and get our motherboard CPU combo?
15:11
So we've got a small problem.
15:13
The escalator is caged up now.
15:16
This place is closing in like two minutes
15:18
and we have to go down to the bottom floor to the ATM.
15:21
We may not be able to go back to the store.
15:23
That is a potential problem.
15:24
So we might walk out of here with a case.
15:26
It would be kind of a big move
15:27
if we sent them around the markets all day.
15:30
Sorry, I think we're gonna make it work.
15:34
All right, this is what we got.
15:35
This is, it's these three?
15:37
Oh, and that one.
15:37
Yeah.
15:38
Okay.
15:39
Check.
15:40
So check everything, yeah.
15:41
Yeah.
15:42
Ryzen 7, 1700,
15:45
two DDR4,
15:48
eight gig sticks.
15:49
Yep, that's,
15:51
and then we've got a B350 plus.
15:53
Yep, okay.
15:55
All right.
15:56
So you're getting probably,
15:57
hopefully a decent computer here.
15:59
Cool.
16:00
I don't know about that power supply.
16:03
You checked the first couple
16:04
to make sure they were really, you know.
16:06
I mean, I'm surprised
16:07
he's not running it through a machine actually.
16:08
Cause, oh, he's gonna go run it through a machine now.
16:11
Like, yeah, that's just a universal concern.
16:13
It's definitely not you.
16:14
Like.
16:15
Oh, okay.
16:16
Hopefully this last piece of the puzzle is really simple.
16:19
We just need a Phillips head screwdriver.
16:22
I know where to get that,
16:23
but it's in a different building.
16:25
It's in a different building?
16:27
I mean, they must have a Phillips screwdriver here.
16:29
Let's go walk around the bottom floor.
16:30
Like if we go offer someone 50 RMB
16:33
for their screwdriver.
16:33
Yes, we can buy a shop,
16:34
we can buy a shop screwdriver.
16:37
That would be an option.
16:38
Like this one right here?
16:41
Yeah, sure.
16:43
Here.
16:48
No, no screwdriver.
16:49
Okay.
16:53
Okay, should we just go to the other building?
16:55
Yeah.
16:56
Okay, fine.
16:57
Let's just go where we know they're gonna have it.
16:58
All right, let's go back to that big tool booth.
17:00
I think the odds of that case having all tool-less mounts
17:03
is very slim.
17:04
Yeah.
17:05
Oh, is that your tool store?
17:06
This is the one, yeah.
17:07
They look kind of open.
17:08
They look very open.
17:09
Okay.
17:10
And if I'm gonna buy a screwdriver,
17:11
it might as well be like that.
17:12
Yeah, that one.
17:13
Yeah.
17:14
I don't see that many options.
17:16
Like where's just the-
17:17
Here's small screwdrivers.
17:19
The screwdriver with an S, you know?
17:21
2013 used to all like lots of precision screwdrivers
17:23
for working on phones,
17:24
but we just want like a normal like big screwdriver.
17:26
Big.
17:27
Oh, here we go.
17:28
Here.
17:29
Oh, here we go.
17:29
We walked right past screwdriver land on the way in.
17:31
Okay.
17:32
Here's a super long one.
17:33
You know what?
17:33
I could actually use one of these.
17:35
Okay, yeah.
17:35
I'll take this shank.
17:36
I mean screwdriver.
17:38
Sorry, I looked.
17:39
Wait, wait a minute.
17:41
You stay back.
17:44
See this?
17:44
They're both reversed now.
17:45
They're both going down.
17:46
We caught it by like two minutes.
17:49
We were about to get kicked the out of this place.
17:53
So Mr. can build an iPhone out of parts
17:57
that he finds in Shenzhen.
17:59
When's the last time you built a computer?
18:01
It's been-
18:02
15 years?
18:03
15 years.
18:04
Okay, so can you build a computer?
18:06
I mean-
18:06
That's a great question.
18:07
I would like to think I still can.
18:09
I bought the-
18:10
But it has been a long time.
18:11
Like it has been multiple, multiple generations.
18:13
I bought the screwdriver for you.
18:15
I'm going to be in charge of unboxing.
18:18
Okay.
18:19
And you're going to be in charge
18:20
of actually building this mess.
18:20
All right.
18:21
I like it.
18:22
You're already doing my job.
18:23
All right.
18:25
Whole collab ruined.
18:27
Linus takes the vision of responsibility very carefully.
18:30
Okay, so here we can,
18:32
let me just do a quick overview of our case here.
18:34
Yep.
18:35
So this case is from the brand Powertrain.
18:39
So we were successful on the case front.
18:41
We found something that I had never heard of before.
18:44
It's the Chameleon.
18:45
And honestly,
18:46
the $30 case, the fact that it has RGB lighting,
18:49
not that bad.
18:51
I feel a little weird assembling a computer
18:53
in the middle of a market square, but-
18:55
This is totally normal.
18:56
There's, there'll be like,
18:57
there's iPhone repair going on at McDonald's down there.
18:59
Fair enough.
19:00
Okay.
19:01
We might've run up against our first challenge.
19:03
We actually need to pull out these two standoffs
19:05
and they are fricking tight.
19:07
So one option,
19:09
and I have used this with success before,
19:13
is to take a motherboard screw here.
19:15
Right.
19:16
And,
19:16
and screw it in too much.
19:19
Like seize it.
19:20
Yep.
19:21
In the standoff.
19:21
And then try and back off the standoff and the screw.
19:23
And then try and back off the standoff and the screw.
19:24
It's worth a shot.
19:26
Oh, oh, that looks good.
19:28
Got one.
19:29
That looks good.
19:30
Okay, but we're gonna sacrifice another screw here.
19:33
Oh, we caught it.
19:34
Oh, you're a lucky man.
19:37
This isn't my computer.
19:38
You're the lucky man.
19:39
So there you go.
19:40
These are, these are seized as hell,
19:41
like without pliers and yeah,
19:44
we're not getting that out anymore, but.
19:47
All right. So while Scotty,
19:48
he screws in the motherboard,
19:49
I'm gonna go through everything else we got here.
19:51
So this is a bit of a cheat.
19:52
I had heard of Great Wall,
19:54
but it is a Chinese brand.
19:56
I don't think I've ever seen a Great Wall power supply
19:59
available outside of China.
20:01
Wow.
20:02
You've got a modular power supply.
20:05
There you go.
20:05
Then modular cables.
20:06
Yeah.
20:07
Yeah.
20:08
You only plug in what you need.
20:09
Fancy, fancy.
20:10
I would say that goes down here, right?
20:12
Yes, it does.
20:13
But we need to pull.
20:14
How the hell do I get it in there?
20:14
We need to pull this off.
20:15
How the hell do we, you know what?
20:17
No, we don't have to take it out.
20:17
We can just slide it in.
20:18
Yep.
20:19
You know what we have to do
20:20
is find out how good of a deal we got.
20:22
I'm willing to say a little bit more expensive
20:24
than the States, but I'm not sure.
20:26
Oh, our case did not include any cooling fans
20:29
and we blew our money on a radiator instead of a fan.
20:33
Damn it.
20:34
And our stock cooler goes on right here.
20:36
Right.
20:37
If we're double teaming on assembly,
20:38
then I'm gonna double team on unboxing here.
20:42
Did you just get all the thermal group all over your hand?
20:44
I just did.
20:45
No wonder your projects take you eight months.
20:48
Being an idiot doesn't help.
20:49
Okay.
20:51
HyperX Fury.
20:53
All right.
20:54
What else is there in here?
20:55
We ready to pop this in and then put cards in?
20:58
Yep.
20:59
Oh, that's almost in.
21:00
Oh shoot.
21:01
Is that in our way?
21:02
Okay, we're in.
21:03
Okay.
21:04
It's like actually getting dark enough
21:05
that I'm having trouble seeing now too.
21:06
Yeah, can you flashlight me?
21:08
Did you just say fleshlight?
21:10
I did not say fleshlight you.
21:11
Cause like not on camera.
21:13
So he showed us the graphics card,
21:16
but I didn't realize it was like a brown box card.
21:19
Like it. Yeah.
21:20
He showed us looked legit, but.
21:22
This is a brick.
21:23
Made in China, GTX 1060.
21:26
Oh, this is a system integrator.
21:28
Skew.
21:29
So he sold us an OEM card, that rat bastard.
21:32
So this probably doesn't have as much warranty on it.
21:34
Again, not my problem.
21:36
Yeah.
21:37
I actually like this screwdriver.
21:38
Are you compensating for something?
21:40
Okay.
21:41
Now, I promised that I was putting this damn radiator in
21:45
no matter what.
21:46
Oh yeah, you did.
21:47
So I'm doing it.
21:48
It's not gonna do anything, but it's gonna be in there.
21:49
But it's gonna be in there.
21:51
We need our tubing as well, right?
21:52
Yeah, hell yeah.
21:53
You know, like that, right?
21:55
I would just run it back right into the other one.
21:57
Just like that.
21:58
No, no, no.
21:59
No?
22:00
Oh, you really want the illusion.
22:01
I want it to look convincing.
22:01
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:02
I want.
22:03
You want the full illusion.
22:04
Yeah, I want.
22:05
So we just wanna run that baby right there.
22:06
There.
22:06
I mean, that looks kind of water-cooled, right?
22:07
See?
22:08
Yeah.
22:09
What do you think?
22:10
Totally water-cooled.
22:11
Yeah, totally.
22:12
Thank you.
22:12
Totally water-cooled.
22:13
All right.
22:14
I'm gonna show you a cable management secret.
22:15
Show me.
22:16
I love cable management.
22:18
Okay, so this is the moment where I find out
22:21
if this was a good deal or a rip-off.
22:25
Oh.
22:26
So I had to make some compromises
22:29
with my Newegg equivalent.
22:30
So I used a Rosewill power supply
22:32
with sort of similar specs.
22:34
I picked like the second cheapest generic SSD I could find.
22:39
And then for a case, honestly, they were better deals.
22:43
Shipped.
22:43
Really?
22:44
I could get a case for 38 US dollars.
22:46
Okay.
22:47
Which is less than what we paid for this.
22:47
Yeah, a little less.
22:48
I would have paid 11.42.
22:50
How did we do?
22:51
11.42.
22:52
We did 11.62 plus $2.50 for the screwdriver.
22:58
So it was basically the same.
23:01
Well, that was fun.
23:03
I'm sure glad that that was so stressful,
23:06
but here, congratulations.
23:07
Do whatever you want with it.
23:08
I no longer care.
23:09
I don't even know if it works, but it's water-cooled.
23:12
Depending who you ask.
23:14
See, it looks pretty water-cooled, right?
23:16
It looks very water-cooled.
23:16
Doesn't it look water-cooled?
23:17
It looks very water-cooled.
23:18
No one's gonna look that closely at it.
23:19
So this video is brought to you by Private Internet Access,
23:23
which actually has been serving me very, very well
23:27
on this trip.
23:28
See, watch, I'm gonna do a thing.
23:30
I'm gonna go to google.com.
23:34
Wait for it.
23:35
Whoa, whoa, whoa, what is that?
23:37
Oh, wow, that's google.com.
23:39
I'm in China.
23:41
So Private Internet Access allows you to access
23:44
the internet more freely and more openly
23:46
wherever you happen to be.
23:47
They support a variety of VPN protocols
23:49
and types of encryption and authentication.
23:51
They've got apps for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux,
23:54
and Google Chrome.
23:55
With support for more platforms coming soon,
23:57
you can connect up to five devices at the same time.
23:59
So if you travel with a couple of phones and a laptop,
24:02
like me, no problem whatsoever.
24:04
You can have them all on it.
24:06
And you can even get it for someone as a gift.
24:08
Yes, my friends, you can buy PIA for your friends and family
24:13
and keep them more secure online.
