we've got two teams Linus and dimitri from hardware canucks and luke and jay
0:04
from jay's two cents competing to build the best budget gaming rig it's all the
0:09
usual rules no splitting up no using your influence and
0:14
there is a special caveat this time we've got a massive 1337
0:23
of that the brand cash here take some more it's all good
0:28
but everything comes out of your budget food
0:32
water transportation even the means to carry around your purchases so who can
0:37
find the best balance of money time and effort
0:41
find out on scrapyard wars
0:48
scrapyard wars is brought to you by the new dbrand grip learn more at the link
0:52
below now you have to pick all this up
0:56
okay okay hold on i gotta get out of this gear
1:00
okay okay so dimitri
1:03
i have a special plan to keep us from getting disqualified
1:07
this time my goal is to look as unlike myself
1:12
whoa as ever before color wait who's
1:15
this guy i've got these shorts i'm going to be wearing closed-toed
1:19
shoes what oh no those aren't super yeah
1:24
and the hat and hat and
1:28
sunglasses am i recognizable who are you
1:34
okay so while everyone is double counting the money back there because no
1:37
one trusts me for some reason i'll be showing off the devices that
1:42
dbrand sent over for our contestants to use we got a couple alienware gaming
1:46
laptops including their palm rest skins and a couple of macbook pros and of
1:51
course phones so they're two google pixels and
1:54
two iphone sevens it'll be up to the teams to fight out who gets what but
2:00
what's this the iphones have something special on them is that a new dbrand
2:04
product oh wait yes it is you're seeing it here for the
2:08
first time this is the d brand grip it
2:13
is an all-new case from dbrand your
2:16
favorite maker of vinyl skins it's got
2:20
basically four key features number one
2:23
is it's got naturally impact protection
2:26
they weren't going to have me show the thing off unless it was capable of sustaining a 15 foot drop
2:31
it has number two compatibility of
2:35
course with dbrand skins out of the box something that other folks have been
2:39
frustrated with other cases about
2:42
number three is it's got a carbon fiber composite frame so what that means is
2:47
it's super lightweight it's super strong and it's super durable and number four
2:52
again they're dealing with me the main
2:55
objective when designing this was to create something that's less likely to
2:58
be dropped in the first place so they're using a special material around the
3:02
outside that starts out grippy and actually gets grippier over time and
3:08
even molds a little bit to your hand as
3:11
you use it so everyone's gonna be using these and uh i call dibs on an iphone no
3:18
that's not gonna fly okay we'll figure it out in a minute okay
3:22
so luke made a very compelling argument we should split them right down the
3:27
middle and leave it to the teams to fight over who gets the macbook and who
3:31
gets the pc who gets the iphone and who gets the pixel
3:35
does that work for everybody yeah okay i guess all right so then dimitri
3:42
macbook or alienware that's why i wanted to have one really
3:46
for you for me all right i'll take the macbook
3:50
see it's all this is like this is a man measurement contest
3:55
and uh a man's a man's a man is not measured by the the weight and power of
4:00
his device but by the size of the track pad how much at a disadvantage are you
4:04
local guys here in vancouver like are you far enough away from this to wherever i don't know anything about it
4:09
yeah if someone was like yeah it's on history
4:15
well actually i don't know where that is because it's in sorry but you know but you know enough about
4:19
the surrounding cities though to have an idea of like if this person says are in this city you know like oh that's not
4:24
close yeah okay so you're not gonna head up to bakersfield no
4:29
you could probably take a random sampling of a thousand
4:34
people in the lower mainland and luke and i would be in the bottom
4:39
one percent for people who have actually spent any
4:42
time in the city what did you say i said you don't get to know ed you said we can
4:47
pocket the cash we don't spend it right you're the one making the rules for the
4:51
challenge right who do we believe the producer or the talent
4:55
the talent that always tries to cheat cheat me on my money not building a
5:00
computer in scrapyard wars it would be a whole new level of cheating
5:05
you guys have an awful lot of laptops for sale in this area
5:08
are they already shopping no why wouldn't i be
5:12
we're totally not sorry not sorry though our buck's a few
5:16
streets away i'm loaded up i'm down
5:22
don't forget the money oh god it blends into the table
5:26
i can't even load the page to create a new google account
5:29
i'm trying to get a burner account going here
5:33
there you go and it's going to have a better name than ash ketchum this time
5:36
oh yeah yeah do you mean a worse name because
5:39
that's impossible
5:43
hey jay you have both laptops right yeah i have
5:46
everything except for what you had on the in front of you yeah
5:50
he's not he's not driving his car he's just parking it so the cheating will
5:54
start later the problem is like where we are right now literally is this giant residential
5:59
neighborhood and where we need to get to in order to find
6:03
civilization to like set up a base is not
6:07
near i'm kind of thinking i want to find some place sort of off the grid that we
6:10
don't run into them literally everything we have on us is all we have to make
6:14
this work and a very loud airplane
6:17
the weather's nice though what about um like facebook groups or
6:22
pages because those exist yeah back back home
6:26
i can find better deals on facebook pages than i can on craigslist you seem
6:30
to find more people there that really did kind of don't know what they have god i still think the bike idea could
6:35
work but the problem is you find some place that's 15 miles away that's a 30 mile trip that's two and a half hours
6:39
you know it's definitely a different way of thinking because you can hop in a car
6:43
and drive 20 miles you know in a quick amount of time even in traffic and so
6:47
you find yourself thinking much differently in terms of logistics and
6:51
then you get there and what the parts like not what you want you lose so much
6:54
time that way normally this show is about haggling right but what if you just
6:59
offer asking but then we try and talk them into bringing it to us yeah getting
7:03
people delivered could be huge trying to get people to come to you is
7:06
not as easy as you might think because it's kind of an unknown no no no but in
7:10
a written rule and online sales is the buyer goes to the seller
7:14
my alias says birthday is gonna be august
7:19
18th so i'm working on a birthday computer ah yeah
7:24
okay that's gonna be my lie can i be like your sister or your brother on the
7:28
alias so that we can i can be looking for parts for my brother's birthday
7:32
computer we really don't look that related you have blue eyes
7:37
and an accent you're my brother from another country
7:41
yes okay tell me something can you can you
7:45
do like a fake like canadian accent i don't think i can fake speaking what i'm
7:49
speaking now no no can you can you fake talking like me though see it's when you
7:54
try to imitate an accent you you're either funny or you're insulting
7:59
people yeah but no you can't insult me though try and imitate my accent okay
8:04
try and imitate my accent okay i was very close until the accent word
8:08
actually yeah i'm actually like starting to freak out
8:11
a little bit i i'm not sure how we're gonna do this man
8:16
we'll be fine we might find someone that's got like
8:19
some old versa that we could rent for like
8:23
two days for like 100 bucks that would be interesting
8:27
we'd have to pay for gas
8:30
but a versa goes really far on a gallon that's fair yeah yeah i was even
8:33
thinking there's city bikes yeah i saw that yeah so we could rent like a city
8:38
bike but the problem was dimitri was telling me a little bit about it like you have to put down like a 500 deposit
8:42
and you can't use cash it has to be on a credit card this is so slow
8:47
it's not
8:52
of course i dropped my s8 not
8:55
not the gripped iphone 7.
9:00
dimitri is exactly what i expected her partner
9:03
super chill easy going
9:06
good ideas drop it some more man no
9:10
that's my phone damn it
9:14
okay so there's only two CPU benchmarks and
9:18
the way that we always do it is like um
9:21
like a weighted total so whoever gets the best score on the benchmark
9:25
is a hundred percent mm-hmm and then if someone if the other team gets
9:29
eighty percent of that score then they get eight out of ten
9:32
i see so you know the highest the high score gets 10 out of 10 right yeah so i
9:37
think basically we need to jump on everything we can find
9:41
and try and get like a 1080 ti
9:45
what if we approach it for the dual dual gpus for 4k stuff that would kill it in
9:49
benchmarks you know what you're probably right and
9:53
fire strike will scale nearly perfectly nine hundred dollars
9:58
i think you might be right i think two 980 ti's would be a better bet but then
10:02
we have to we got to blow a bunch of don't check this out check this out
10:05
sponsor calculator yeah
10:09
you know what we we could pull that we could pull that
10:12
it's done we just buy a calculator
10:16
and lots of poutine yeah we just like hang out we go like
10:20
see because you've never been to vancouver before right no so that's why the challenge is so interesting because
10:24
now we get to explore vancouver together yeah but we could just go to like
10:28
capilano suspension bridge and like be tourists together yeah i think there's a
10:33
pretty good chance that the third day will be me and dimitri tooling around
10:38
the city maybe we'll like you know rent bikes or whatever and we'll go like bike
10:42
the sea wall i think there's a very good chance of that
10:46
pc desktop computer for editing eight hundred dollars it's got a 4770k
10:51
it's got eight gigabytes of RAM 7200 RPM
10:54
it's got a 660 in it though but we potentially would have money over a
10:58
budget it's a complete system so okay i find these like every time
11:02
i've never ended up going with one yet but we can try um but one thing that i
11:08
would suggest is talking to him and see if we can get the monitors there's two
11:12
monitors in there see if we get the monitors out of there right i might try
11:16
to buy those monitors personally outside of the show you want to email them yeah
11:20
okay just start firing off anything interesting because i'm you know asking
11:24
like will you sell the tower without the monitors how much yeah and then we could
11:29
maybe even like we don't even have to see if we can get rid of that yeah
11:33
because outside of that that's does it have an SSD i'm just gonna get
11:37
goat is just for sneakers why do you need a dedicated buy and sell
11:42
app for sneakers we are walking quite a lot so i mean we could
11:46
invest in sneakers we could buy some new sneakers i mean you probably don't need
11:50
any new sneakers what what are you are you hating okay but how much do you miss
11:53
your sandals are you hating on my i actually really like these yeah these
11:57
are actually really comfortable shoes perfect would you believe they were on clearance
12:01
clearance in the ladies section that's where i found this gym when you
12:05
found them yeah you know what
12:08
where's the um where's the the two 1080s for uh for the
12:14
two nine the 2980 ti for 400. was that on let go yep i got to
12:19
get that app as well so 980 ti
12:22
let's see i hope he didn't post the ad four times
12:26
400 firm 980 ti i think it's in our best
12:29
interest to move really fast on the highest end gpus we can find just so
12:35
they can't get them you want to consolidate things like
12:38
should i just like forward you ads for people to contact yeah we can do that
12:43
but i think any phone calls need to be made you should make from your phone
12:46
so it's a local number yeah yeah because we don't want another one of those like someone called me from california things
12:50
happening absolutely i'll do that okay here we go email this guy
12:56
that would be our luck if we started with the big ass tower i'd have to carry around the rest of the day
13:00
47 70k next one was six kilo wow so we
13:04
could overclock
13:10
money that he's trying to sell for so i think he's just trying to offload it quick
13:14
you think we should try to shoot a buff i'm going to contact him anyways but part of me feels like if he if he won't
13:19
we take it as is and then we try and sell the monitors ourselves stupid cheap
13:23
right
13:34
hi i'm calling about your video editing pc
13:37
um i'm calling about your video editing pc
13:42
video editing pc i think you made the wrong number uh
13:47
i do sorry about that that's quite all right
13:51
all right fully built 1300.
13:54
oh this looks a horizon system really rising from 1600 gigabytes 16 to ti 1050
14:01
ti this guy wants 1300 what an idiot
14:04
it's one of those people who thinks that like because that's what they paid for
14:07
it that that's what it's worth plus it's probably a little marked up because
14:11
you've uh you built it yeah
14:16
let's see beastly gaming pc for 650 an i3
14:20
without a GPU okay we know how this this guy feels like
14:27
oh s340 elite hello oh
14:33
a 5960x what is this the titan x what is
14:37
this oh but it's a thousand dollars no it's negotiable
14:44
up we can at least get something from him
14:47
his power supply is not too much uh the ax 860i for 350 bucks
14:53
ax860i brand new from ncix is 265. so
14:58
this guy is so this guy's drunk
15:03
hello hi i'm calling about your video editing pc that you have for sale on
15:07
craigslist oh yeah uh yeah it looks great uh i had one
15:12
question i actually already have my own monitors
15:16
and even on the graphics card side i have a pretty good graphics card but i
15:20
need like everything else that's in the system do you think we could do a
15:24
slightly different deal um
15:28
yeah
15:32
um how about this there's one guy who's interested in it and he wants to take a
15:36
look at it tonight if he doesn't take it then i'll
15:39
give you a show back and we'll come up with the price what
15:43
were you thinking dollars and cents wise like 600 550
15:47
yeah i think if i were to do 600 you know i i'd gank those parts out and give
15:51
it to you like that yeah okay that would be great uh when is
15:55
that guy coming to see you he's gonna he's gonna give me a shout at
15:58
about five or six o'clock tonight let me call this guy right now and see what's
16:02
going on if i can get him to commit or not sure yeah that would be good for us
16:05
yeah then i'll let you know great okay okay
16:09
eight hundred dollars i'd almost do the monitor flip thing
16:12
yeah but i feel like we'd have a really hard time flipping them well that's
16:16
still i mean it solely is over 500 for a GPU if we buy it as is
16:20
and then i mean yeah we don't have an SSD but so we're getting a nine-eighths
16:23
high right but we still need an SSD so we
16:27
really have like 437 dollars and i found 90 times for about 400. so we're looking
16:31
at a 47-70 k and i'm not eight times if this guy comes back like well then i'll
16:35
be like just tell him okay you guarantee
16:40
like tell him we will buy this this is not an if we will buy this
16:43
okay we'll just flip the monitors we can't get a tie
16:46
as far as no dude but like 1080 for 600 bucks
16:50
i think i would rather go 10 well timmy's like what 10 50 faster than a 90
16:55
to ti now it's not a ton but a little bit yeah
16:58
and like if we have room in the budget
17:02
yeah this one's been catching my eye repeatedly 400 980 we should message him
17:08
anyway because we're going to need one regardless even if we get this tower
17:11
right but all email is going 400
17:14
firm low offers will be ignored so we could get an h
17:19
h110i gt for 120 bucks so we got an iti
17:24
that system we just talked about an SSD i'm pretty sure we could still afford
17:27
that and just have like a really nicely cooled
17:31
holy crap this one is pretty useless there's like
17:36
lots of bras in the electronics uh electronics oh wait this is just the
17:40
feed oh i'm not looking at categories well i selected what category i was
17:44
interested in oh wow this is a really weird computer
17:47
it's a xeon e5 6 core with 32 gigs of
17:51
RAM in a Corsair air 240 you know that little tiny Corsair
17:55
uh with sli gtx 950s what you might as
18:01
well just get a 980. posted two weeks ago need to sell asap how much oh they
18:06
want 1600 for it that's like super dumb like it's a terrible config
18:11
okay so these guys seem to be like uh like a salvage shop so i'm gonna start
18:17
i'm gonna start calling around to those kinds of folks
18:20
and see if there's someone that's got a lot of stuff lying around
18:25
well upstairs hi do you guys have a lot of used
18:28
hardware um what kind of people uh we're trying
18:33
to build a gaming system for about a thousand dollars
18:36
so what for a thousand dollars why are you looking for use of what well because
18:40
we're we're trying to get a better system for the money so if you have like
18:44
older stuff yes but like
18:49
nothing but depends on what kind of decision
18:52
right now you can buy a i5 with a gtx 1060 already
18:58
um yeah but that would be i mean that would be slower than getting a 980 ti
19:04
okay so sorry can i just get clarification do you guys have
19:08
hardware but not on the high-end one oh have all older
19:11
i see okay all right why they need to solve if they don't
19:15
have any problem okay thank you anyway
19:19
i like how he immediately goes into the the lecture a little thing yeah gaming
19:24
pc brand new lions bay
19:27
6700k whoa 765 bucks with a 6700k
19:34
uh samsung evo 500 gig 16 gigs whoa how
19:39
far is this guy whoa oh itx board
19:43
no this is this we can get here we can get here
19:46
Corsair cx-600m
19:49
does that have do you think that could handle 980 sli we'd have to get a new
19:53
board and we'd have to get another 970 or sorry 971 we can get another 970 for
19:57
sure let's see what a gtx 980 ti goes for on
20:00
ebay 323 but this is bids this is still ongoing oh okay no i won't buy it now
20:06
okay let's do buy it now 380 bucks i'm saving a little bit you're gonna pay in
20:10
shipping anyway is is that a founder's edition that you found
20:13
no it was uh evga oh maybe right uh let's see
20:17
no it's this wait does he have to does he have an sli bridge he has two
20:22
he does have two and a bridge these are sc pluses with backplate with the acx
20:27
cooler this is basically the game this is what luke is wanting to get let's
20:31
make sure that let's make sure he doesn't get it okay uh uh does he have a
20:35
phone number crap i bet they're on their way there now
20:39
i just realized that video editing or photo editing might be a good search
20:42
term so i'm looking for that right now we gotta get in touch with him
20:46
i have it set up too okay you got it you got it uh yeah i don't know where i'm
20:50
sending from though like i don't know what
20:54
oh my god why apple
20:58
oh my god just stop
21:05
all right htc no gtx
21:09
dtx i not t oh
21:13
800 800 that leaves us 530 dollars for
21:17
motherboard CPU power supply case SSD this is good five things like 100 each
21:23
oh you know what i'm gonna start with this okay
21:26
can you throw in the sli bridge oh
21:32
for 500. i should have sent my phone number
21:35
5290s are 320 first season of scrapyard worse i bought
21:39
a 290 for 200 bucks like prices on graphics cards are just
21:43
stupid 6700k
21:47
gtx 1060 a blaze patriot blaze 240 SSD
21:52
80 bucks downtown vancouver like i wonder if this guy would be
21:56
interested in leaving the graphics card out ah that probably wouldn't still be
22:00
good that computer we found is pretty sick
22:04
2500k with eight gigs of RAM oh
22:08
that 100 dollars brand new never opened 250 gig
22:14
evos in surrey so the day started with
22:17
the usual craigslist shopping i don't even know how we ever make an episode
22:20
out of the first day of scrapyard wars you just
22:24
try and find all the things and send all the emails and hope that you know people
22:29
who have had their listing up for two months are actually going to reply to
22:32
you and then we had a moment we found
22:37
not one but two gtx 980 ti's
22:41
for 400 bucks a pop
22:45
okay hold on a second i just heard back
22:50
from the two 980 ti's for 800 bucks
22:54
should we just do it and then yolo the rest of it
22:58
dual 980 ti's require a lot of power yeah so we need a powerful at least 800
23:04
at least 650 watts at least 650 but like a an actually decent
23:09
650 because otherwise we don't want it to not boot yes that means that we have
23:14
very little budget for food transportation so like the
23:18
remaining of our money which is i'm gonna be totally honest with you i had
23:22
totally forgotten about that in my excitement about the card honestly
23:26
i am blown away by how expensive transit is now the last time i extensively used
23:32
transit i was in high school or sorry university and i had a go card
23:37
so i wasn't paying for it anyway and even if i was the rates were
23:41
way less than what they are now okay how about we at least get to one of them or
23:46
we can get the second one and try and sell it to the other team for more
23:51
because they're looking at that right now as well you can't tell me that
23:55
they're looking for this can we sell to the other team
24:00
okay okay we use
24:05
aliases Linus isn't selling it
24:08
johnny crow is selling it yes so we can list it once we buy it for 450
24:15
or 500 we could even 420 baby
24:18
and they have to come to us yeah and we're gonna be moving around we'll be
24:22
like oh yeah sorry you know what we're not there anymore right now or get them
24:25
hooked so that they think they're buying it and then destroy them by
24:30
eliminating their options for the GPU or we could jack up the price at the last
24:34
second like when they like we'll pull an opposite of like craigslist
24:38
oh sorry you know we had you know we've had a lot of people contact us about it
24:43
it's more now should we actually do it though i think we okay i think we take
24:47
the cards even if we only keep one of them i bet we could even if we had to
24:52
flip one for 350 okay we still only paid 450 for a 980 ti
24:57
that's still a great deal because like look this 970 is 250. 980 ti is a lot faster
25:04
than 970. a lot faster
25:07
okay you know what i'm feeling pretty good
25:11
so there's a z170 board
25:15
i think we're spending pretty much oh for for the z170 do you think we can
25:20
afford a z170 system because that means we need what haswell like we have to
25:24
find a 40 a 46
25:29
70k or something no z170 so it's we can
25:32
do skylake yeah but that's gonna be too expensive there's no way we can get
25:36
skylake stuff for that cheap but what about x99 then it's cheaper oh
25:41
you want to try and get an x99 chip remember i still want sli gpus
25:47
that's gonna be worth more to us because it's four gaming benchmarks and only two
25:52
CPU heavy ones like honestly i think we should still explore the AMD option here
25:58
fx 8150 plus plus ASUS motherboard 245
26:02
including cooler cooler but it's only look at the core speed it's 1.4
26:06
gigahertz uh yeah but that's probably just um like throttling oh that tells us
26:10
the board does that board have sli support m5a97r 2.0 i don't think it does
26:16
what if we go crossfire no
26:19
no i want it to work
26:22
okay but there might be other listings because if we're gaming at 4k i don't
26:27
think the CPU is gonna be that much of a bottleneck oh oh oh oh oh we're going on the road
26:32
baby 980 ti um we're going to pit meadows holy sh
26:36
really far away this is the dual nine atis right
26:40
we're doing that okay we should transit out there we
26:43
should try and find some food and we should just go to like a grocery store
26:46
like buy some bread that's big petals and stuff no no but it'll be like this
26:50
part of it so but it's fun it's fine we are right here yeah it's fine
26:57
so if we had a car how long would that take us
27:00
half an hour no half an hour your office is closer to that no no it's about the
27:06
same my office is like here
27:09
wait who's this
27:13
hello how about the ssds sorry
27:18
okay great um we have one issue we're a little bit far
27:23
from you we're downtown vancouver could you meet us at a skytrain station by any
27:26
chance sorry don't have car accidents there's a bus that drives by my house
27:31
okay um um
27:35
i'll try to see if we can get to you and i'll give you a call back later
27:39
sure what are you thinking today i'd like to
27:42
today or in the next day or two we're just having some issues getting
27:46
out there you guys already know dbrand they make the precision cut vinyl skins
27:50
that make your phone look nice and protect it from incidental scuffs and
27:53
scratches but today no no not that today
27:56
is something new this is the grip and it's not just another
28:01
phone case it is the grippiest phone
28:04
case that you have ever seen
28:08
and it's got this super cool like
28:11
patented impact protection technology
28:15
that works super awesome and it's fully integrated with dbrand's customization
28:19
meaning that you can use any dbrand skin with your grip so check it out today
28:24
we've got it linked in the video description
28:29
okay this this is this this is the speak now or forever hold your peace moment do
28:33
you disagree with the strategy make it work or flip one
28:38
okay because we got three days
28:42
so my fears for the coming week is that
28:45
we've underestimated our budget even though the budget is so large
28:49
from like you think that that's that's 1337 that's a lot money to spend but you
28:53
look at craigslist it's very uh you look at all the apps it's quite
28:57
uh the stock is low for good hardware the
29:01
guy with the motherboard and the 980 ti let's say
29:04
we can get that 980 ti for 450 how far
29:07
is the things to get around like how expensive are our bus tickets uh they're
29:11
cheap so they're like five to seven dollars each this is a
29:16
three zone trip so we have to pay like a lot but on the bus we can whip out our
29:20
laptops and be working so we're taking the bus
29:24
unless you have a better plan no the bus is good
29:27
i i i take the bus i think we bus it okay let's go okay let's do it
29:32
oh my god it's a 46 minute car ride or
29:35
an hour and 45 minutes public transport route so we have to
29:40
take a bus we're gonna have to walk and then take a train or we take two buses
29:44
in the train or two trains on the bus or we can eight hour hike there do you
29:48
wanna do that no if we had bikes we could get there in
29:53
just as much time in just a little bit over two hours the priority
29:57
is making the best use of um sourcing leads yeah so okay let me just go move
30:02
my bike and then uh i'll be right back
30:06
i'm not finding any cpus man i think that concerns me with this
30:10
is the amount of time that's going to be taken trying to get this SSD
30:14
talk to this other person that's on the email you might have to haggle them down but they're the one that's just
30:17
northwest a little bit whatever so what do we tell them i can come get
30:21
it right now and i'll call them because they asked for that uh about a hundred bucks
30:27
i would just tell them there's comparable drives for a hundred dollars yeah
30:31
or you would pay them like 110 if they'll bring to us
30:35
yeah like in terms of just parts right now up here it's like junk i know
30:41
so this be a new element of uh scrap yard wars
30:46
our camera people don't feel like
30:50
transiting or biking or doing whatever with us so they're just gonna drive
30:54
around to the locations yeah yeah see ya
30:57
max so we actually have to vlog
31:01
uh scrapyard wars okay
31:04
you know what though i don't know if we can go straight to the bus stop
31:08
because um no not because of food because of
31:12
actually a little tip that i think max
31:15
inadvertently gave to me so she was like
31:18
am i allowed to tell you stuff about travel
31:22
and i'm like no and she's like oh well
31:25
never mind you'll figure it out and i've remembered like it's it's like
31:29
stupid stuff like this right like i've taken public transit
31:33
probably twice in the last eight years oh my god
31:36
we need exact change what for the bus to get yeah
31:40
and how much you said they are so why don't we
31:43
um go to the grocery store get something to eat get on the way and just get some
31:48
change
31:51
look at all this expensive fruit isn't that expensive it's not even that
31:56
unreasonable i just don't want to spend any money from our uh
31:59
from our stash how much are these
32:04
it's not that cheap and food's expensive my wife always
32:07
shops for the food so i don't know how much food six pieces though
32:11
so that's not bad hold on a second her stick is 230 and
32:15
per bread is 230 this is the better deal the calorie yeah and let's get the
32:19
tomato put a tomato inside and some ham
32:22
sliced him oh never mind there are six bucks but we
32:26
got plenty of here for like the whole day and if Linus cares so much about all
32:31
the calorie stuff let me tell you for four slices you're getting 90
32:35
calories combine that with 300 calories of the bread boom you're at 500 calories
32:40
it's a meal man okay i don't know if we're going to be able to afford tomato what if we do
32:44
happen tomatoes if we can't afford a tomato we can't
32:48
afford a cheese okay fair enough what about avocado that's what all the young
32:52
kids spend all their money on is avocado right i would rather get a tomato okay
32:56
we're buying a tomato he was very practical in the calorie
33:00
intake of the food items that we're looking at particularly buns and food uh
33:05
and not so much of about the the quality or the taste so that was a little bit
33:10
like what do you think of this this chunk of bread this uh well the cracked wheat and
33:14
sunflower is actually like pretty heavy and this is
33:17
110 calories per slice
33:21
while i'm super thrilled that dimitri is my partner for scrapyard wars and
33:25
shopping for technology because he's a great partner for that i'm really glad i
33:29
don't have to grocery shop with him and he's like oh wow there is like so much
33:34
sugar in that brand of bread and this is enough bread for us to carry around with
33:38
us for like realistically today and tomorrow like we
33:41
can have a couple sandwiches a day each for three days and still have some
33:45
leftover 12.73 spent we have no hardware yet
33:52
food acquired and i have some really good news
33:56
he's going to meet us at braids skytrain station yes we don't have to go all the
34:00
way to pitt meadows and you know what the picture of cash money
34:04
was he replied to me he's like yeah i wanted
34:07
to check about the cash because you never know you know goofballs on
34:11
craigslist right and uh idea of sending that to him yeah
34:14
and so he's like yeah no problem i'll leave in 20 minutes that'll put me there
34:18
in about about an hour so uh and it takes us an
34:21
hour it takes us an hour to get there timing aligns perfectly yeah on all
34:25
sides i am liking i am liking how our day is going so far we got
34:29
food we got bus we got noms for the bus dimitri is going to ask this guy with
34:33
the garden if he can borrow his tap to uh
34:37
to wash our tomato it's a bold plan bold plan
34:43
i think the guy's telling him to screw off
34:46
nope no i think he's telling him i think he's telling where the tap is
34:52
tell them how to operate it
34:55
look at that i didn't realize how inexperienced Linus
35:00
was with transportation bus is coming what oh wait no hold on you have to
35:04
school bus he confused the garbage truck a school
35:07
bus and a regular truck with a bus he's like the bus is coming
35:11
no it isn't why why would you call that a city bus
35:14
like what are you doing this was right when i was washing my
35:18
tomatoes in this community garden so he's like bus is coming so i had to rush
35:22
out and get my tomatoes washed i'm not giving him a dirty tomato
35:26
where am i savage what
35:32
it's good it's not bad the only thing that concerns me
35:36
is i bet those guys aren't going to spend any money on me really i overheard
35:40
them talking about it i think they're planning to just operate
35:44
to make sure they have the the biggest budget for
35:47
fools you gotta eat how can you make good decisions
35:50
yeah burning up your stomach you can't this is why we're doing what we're doing
35:57
did i now single or multiple by multiple tickets
36:00
so if we're going from where we stand this
36:04
okay so we're going from 29 to brave okay so that's two zones
36:10
okay 4 10.
36:15
seriously we got all the coins for nothing
36:20
we'll use the bus tomorrow oh you can't no you can do coins there
36:25
oh yeah but it's not going to give me a change i bet you can eat 20 in here no
36:29
way yeah but uh you don't have a 25 cents no well i
36:33
have a 25 but i don't want to waste five cents no i'll give you a change yeah
36:36
i'll try i'll try i don't think it's going to give me
36:39
money for that you don't think you'll get a nickel back
36:44
he gave you a nickel back just like the canadian band oh and
36:48
someone else left a nickel before okay let's go
36:58
hi this is james i emailed you about your SSD oh yeah okay yeah i'd like to
37:04
come get it right now we don't we don't have a vehicle or anything so we'd
37:08
probably just walk it would take us about an hour uh would you be flexible
37:11
on the price at all we're looking at comparable drives at about a hundred
37:15
dollars what was the price i don't have i don't remember
37:19
he put it at 130. uh you put it at 1 30. we found comparable drives in a few
37:23
different locations but they're just a little far away for us and we'd like to get one that's closer like i will be
37:28
home maybe in two hours maybe how about i give you
37:32
a call okay sounds good yeah okay um
37:35
what's what's drive was that was it was it 840 or 850.
37:40
i don't think it's listed
37:43
all right whatever it works okay so the challenge with the AMD based
37:48
system i think is going to be finding someone who's got a high-end enough
37:52
motherboard to have sli compatibility
37:55
but they also bought an AMD system yeah see this guy has an fx 6300 for 65 bucks
38:02
but no cooling and no motherboard so we'd have to find an AMD board
38:06
separately i i just heard back from the guy with
38:11
the uh the core i7 920 the rampage
38:15
extreme and six gigs of RAM i'm like hey are you willing to do it for 200 no
38:20
okay well i give him a plus for punctuation
38:24
and c minus for flexibility here's a reality check for that other guy i7 960
38:31
motherboard eight gigs RAM 6870 one
38:34
terabyte uh case and a high current gamer from
38:38
antec for uh 395.
38:42
i don't know if this board has sli though sli is turning
38:59
would i click on a link to hello hey how you doing i was calling
39:02
about your craigslist ad for your editing pc
39:06
how firm are you on the system having to be sold as a whole i mean i it seems
39:11
like a really good package deal but i already have like 4k editing monitors
39:15
and stuff i'm just looking for another tower to add to my office
39:18
are you selling a video card video cards no no not him
39:23
yeah i was talking to another guy earlier this morning about that same thing so i don't know that i want to i
39:29
kind of like to get rid of it as a package what's the okay if i took it all
39:32
then and i and i came to you to get it i don't actually have a car i'm visiting vancouver right now in business so
39:37
that's why my number comes up out of town but if i was to come to you and get it
39:42
what's the best price you could give me for the whole package
39:45

39:48
deal so what's your availability you know i'm heading to downtown actually
