 Alright, so you guys pretty much know how this works at this point it is time again for scrapyard wars But we're throwing a wrench into the rules once more we're gonna have a bigger budget $900 per team and because that gives us enough money to build something that not only performs well, but also looks good We've brought in BS mods professional computer modders Extraordinaire to lend both me and Luke a hand so a welcome to our guests Bob and Rod and without further ado Let's get started Okay, so it's day two we're getting started a little late because the camera people Slept in or got stuck at the auto shop both of them go figure But it's okay because this only sets back our plan to finish an entire day early by about an hour Yeah, we'll be fine. We'll be fine Okay, my biggest concern going into today was that we would not find hardware because there was pretty much nothing out there and We got almost no replies on the messages that we sent out midway through and towards the end of the day yesterday So there's a couple things that came through this morning. I actually heard from two GTX 780s One of them sort of disqualified himself What's your best offer will it be in one of your videos? Oh Yeah, so he knows what's up Yeah, the other guy says yep, I can do that also are you Linus from Linus Tech Tips? So I'm gonna take that one because he doesn't actually know right and he said yep. I can do that first We had contacted a guy who had it and Unfortunately, he recognized Linus right away and blew the whole deal because the rule is that He can't use any kind of influence to make a deal make a purchase whatever and so technically as soon as the guy figures Out it's Linus, you know, it's kind of against the rules so far. I think we're doing a grand total of okay I think we have a pretty interesting theme. Although we don't have enough stuff for that theme currently But we have some leads which might work out We have a whole bunch of hardware leads, which seems to be pretty good But then I don't really know what the actual hardware is But then I don't really know what the actual hardware target is this time around because it's a very flexible budget and there's two different things that you're going for and then like the the availability of parts right now is And things are really expensive because a Canadian dollar is shit. So yeah, I think we're doing okay we are going to Max Traders Max Traders is a Scrap yard place like family-owned thing that said that we might be able to pick some Pick some stuff out of their yard. So we're gonna go check them out first so we're after some hopefully rusty bits that will fit in with like the Iron that we got yesterday in the burlap and stuff that maybe already has a patina that we won't have to paint or change at all stuff ready to go. Yeah the The main computer that we're looking at Which is a i7 860 machine with 8 gigs of RAM They want 285 for it. We asked them for 260 They said no, so we asked them what they could do and he said can't do much So we'll probably give an offer like maybe 275 and see if he'll do that just to try to get us an extra 10 bucks for more aesthetic work or a better SSD stuff Cool, oh, I think I see some rust in there. Yeah Sweetness Oh man Yeah So we're at Max Traders, this is a place kind of knew where I grew up so I knew about it There's some pretty cool stuff here. Hopefully it works out We got to go walk around and try some things out try to stay out of the workers way. So hopefully this goes well Remember copper stuff is gonna be worth more. This stuff looks super cool But like just to like have it on there it could look pretty damn cool That looks great Heavy is gonna cost more probably There's a small like motor That was pretty amazing. It was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted bins of junk and we're able to dig through those bins and Find some pretty cool stuff Really a motor looking thing Big alternator, that's kind of I mean like I'm not sure if you need the whole I don't know if we have enough space in a case But if you had just the front pulley part, that's what I was kind of even looking at these guys like Okay, two of these on a shaft and put a belt on on you get the impression of like a motor without like the tons of space Yeah, I think it's a little bit of a problem Of like a motor without like the tons of space. Yeah Yeah, so There's two matching ones there and there They have a bracket Yeah, I almost wonder Like a rubber belt almost seems a little bit out of place, but a piece of metal chain going around it and this like on the back Off a little bit. Yeah Yeah, we can find a piece of metal chain. That would be pretty cool looking Where's another piston? That one's busted Quiet These These look good These pistons say Mad Max. There you go. These are perfect That's freaking sick. Two Chevy V8 pistons That made me a lot more confident in the theme. Yeah, I was a little bit worried about it My biggest concern going into day two was getting anything to match the theme at all because that wasn't really going very well so far And I think we conquered that so it's good It's a critical item So this is just garbage bin But these are water lines that they've cut the brass fittings off of so it's pretty much just a stainless steel line That's garbage and they were perfect for sleeving I was thinking like smoke stacks at the top or something Yeah, we've got that grate that's gonna take up a huge portion of the top. That's a good point So maybe slightly smaller diameter Yeah, that's pretty cool. It's pretty big, but it's pretty cool You can't find this gauge anywhere easy. It's for AC kilovolts, so thousand volt scale So something you would use to measure the voltage incoming to like a transformer before it hits your house power only down at 110 volts or so Mega watts, million watts, multiple households worth of electricity So power plants may be produced somewhere. A big power plant that powers an entire city produces maybe 150 megawatts So this is badass You can buy these at Walmart. Yeah, yeah We're gonna buy a bunch of them We're doing a weird art project thing. We're trying to make a computer that looks kind of Mad Max-y Oh cool, yeah, another part. Sick. We'll get one. Awesome That one's got gas in it so just make sure that you have the... Yeah, yeah Going off in the car Yeah, good call. Thank you. I appreciate that No worries guys. Awesome, cool So we got these for free Oh my god Sweet So that's $45 worth of tips Yeah The manager's not super happy about our deal The thrift stores on the first day were pretty rough, but Max was actually pretty awesome I was hoping for a lot from Max. I've been there a few times and seen some pretty epic things that would have been awesome But their inventory is rapidly rotating because they just salvage, scavenge, and get rid of everything that they have all the time That's kind of their whole business, so you never really know what to expect there, but I was very happy with Max So we are able to get the 780 for $300 So what that means is if we meet up with the guy with the CPU, motherboard, and RAM for $500 right away We spend $300 on a 780. That gives you $32.75 to finish your mod Oh my god. $32? Almost $33 Canadian? Yes Oh I mean what do you even still need though? We need a little bit of hardware, just some small bolts And really not a lot, so I can't believe I'm saying it, but we might be fine with that Okay, I also kind of need a CPU cooler, so how much more of that can you give me? Oh my god, okay I can ask CPU motherboard guy Yeah, if we can get one for like $10 I just realized I think we're okay We talked to him already about not needing the video card and not needing the hard drive, but we don't need the case Right, we don't need a case at all anymore Why don't we ask him, because this guy's got more than one system And he could sell the case for maybe $20 or $30 Yeah, you know what, so why don't we start by seeing if we can get a CPU cooler instead of a case Right And then go from there. Also, do we still need paint? Did you bring some? I brought some, I think I have enough for what we're gonna do Okay, why don't we go have a look Okay Okay, okay, let's go check that first before we move any further Scrapyard Wars will return after this message from our sponsor This episode of Scrapyard Wars is brought to you by dbrand Makers of the precision cut vinyl skins that you see on the phones and laptops of the contestants They may not be bulletproof, but they look really cool Try out their configurator at dbrand.com linked in the video description We've got everything, we've got reds, we've got yellow, blue, green, gold Our motherboard is blue Everything you can think of We have blue It's that awful, it's that awful light blue that Asus was doing in the P67 days Do you remember that, that stupid powder blue? Yeah, we can What kind of blues you got? Okay, so we have all kinds of blues, we have dark blue, light blue This is kind of a light blue Yeah, and it'll be a little bit different when we mix them up Some of these are candy, some of these are sparklescent, pearlescent, all kinds of stuff And we can mix and match too, so we can take any of these colors And apply your basic formulas and we can make any custom color we want If we want to make a lighter blue, we can just add some white Hi, this is Linus calling, I was going to pick up the CPU combo yesterday And I know I'm calling a little late Do you mind if I head out there now? If I don't need the case, are you able to take off like another 20 bucks? Yeah, no, I don't want to waste my time doing that, yeah I can do it Yeah, you know what, I don't want to be stuck in the case I mean, I work in computers too, and I know you do as well Um, yeah, I just don't want to be in that case that I may not feel for a long time Ugh, I see Well, what was it, like a 300, a 300 or something like that? The thing is, yeah, the Strix one has a 300, so it's the same one as in the picture Okay, okay, um So for me, the original part is, you know, where you pull down the hard drive And pull down the video card and stuff I don't really want to put around that, like, at all Yeah, this guy was cheaper than the other guy The guy with the reference card was the one who was like, OMG, is it going to be in a video? Oh yeah, blue F4s right there I mean, Strix cards look pretty good And I can change this red right here, I can change that to the same color as this stuff Sure So that's not a big deal as far as painting and stuff And I can, actually, I can paint the whole thing silver and then paint these blue to match So it tricks out the card Okay So we're good there Okay, so we're still good, but the budget is not looking good right now This guy wants 40 bucks for an Evo 2 top What? Oh, there's some Oh yeah, look at, these are all stock That's all stock Wait, is that an Arctic Cooling logo I saw in that last picture? 53 minutes, this place is not close Wow, look at Yeah But I don't think we have much of a choice, we really haven't found anything better Every time I come to Canada, though, I do like it, it's just something about it, it just seems really cool And people are really, I don't know, they seem pretty genuine and pretty cool Running around downtown Vancouver and seeing how many hot women are running around on the streets, actually So it has nothing to do with the build, but that was definitely a surprise for me It's like analog and stuff 104, seems like it'd be on this floor Check out this analog elevator, it's awesome What? Oh my god, that is crazy I'm Linus, this is Bob Okay Alright, show us what you got Which way are we going? That's awesome So how much was it? It was 100 bucks off, right? So, which was what? 195 Is there any way you would go to just I mean, I would pull a 475 I'm not willing to pay asking price and things like that, and there's a little bit of negotiation involved Worth five bucks, I don't care, DVD writers, I pay five bucks for as well, so to me it's all non-existent stuff Can we do 485? Every little bit helps If you want to pull it out, sure Yes, okay I mean, we're that tight on the budget that we like, every dollar is like critical at this point That's fine Okay I went and I left my stupid screwdriver in the car Thank you, okay, awesome Oh, I got it, I got it, I got it Okay, so that was a brilliant stroke of negotiation, getting that extra 10 bucks Because that 10 bucks could be the difference between having a heat sink and being able to afford our video card and not So we actually did really well here We paid 485 and we got ourselves a 2600 We got ourselves, it looks like, yeah, that's 8 gigs of, yeah, it's a 4x2 gig But it's got a heat spreader on it, so we can paint that, we can work with that We got ourselves an overclocking capable motherboard We got a decent power supply, CX600 is not a fantastic power supply, but it's decent And it's sleeved, not very nicely, but it's sleeved And we got a 250 gig SSD, which while not really necessary to win You know, maybe we can position it sort of prominently in our system to get the judges to recognize we have like a really good SSD here I'm not that impressed with the fans No, they're just basic, I mean, we've got, you know, we've just got basic black fans We've got 140 mil, we could use another 120 mil, but we would prefer another one with some blue LEDs However, we did get exactly three of those which we needed, so those will fit and will look good enough I'm still okay spending the 20 bucks on that Cooler Master It's not really eye catching, you know I don't see why we can't return our money I was just going to get some pictures and we'll just post it on Craigslist Do you want to post it on Craigslist for like 10 bucks? Why don't we do this? 20 bucks Let's say 20 bucks delivered That's a good case for 20 bucks Let's say 20 bucks delivered I just heard back from a 780 guy, he says, sorry for the delayed reply, but I'm busy later today and can only meet Thursday You should follow other leads if you have it I'm just going to beg, should I throw in the 10 bucks we just got? I don't know, you know what, I'll just beg first I'm just going to say I have a car and I can come anywhere I'm going to fix my spelling, people like it better when you can spell Okay, I've got a guy with an R9 390, but his original post is asking 400 And this is like new in box, it's brand new from RMA, I don't know how much he's going to move What can we offer this guy? He's given me a number to call so I can call him now Yeah? I'm just going to turn off the engine here So right now I had 300 allocated for the GTX 780 And I had 20 allocated for a cooler And I had given you 22 dollars for the rest of your modding supplies So if we can dress up our cooler, we can save that money Okay, but then we can't, we pretty much can't overclock a 2600 I actually don't even know if it's a 2600K or a 2600 Because if that's a K, a 2500K with a decent cooler is going to overclock enough to make a big difference if we can spend the 20 bucks on the cooler It is a 2500K, it is an overclockable chip, how about this? Let's give ourselves, can I have 10 bucks to find a cooler? You think I can get a cooler for 10 bucks? Yeah So then we offer this guy 330 for the R9 390 I mean it's definitely, we gotta have it, and what's he asking? He's asking 400, yeah And like you and I know the 390 is just a 290 with some more ram Well if we say like cash money right now, we're down the street, you know Maybe That gives you $2.75 for the rest of the mod So that's enough to basically buy a couple pieces of metal to cover those holes in the panel That's what we're looking at here Actually all I'm going to be getting is nuts and bolts I have nuts and bolts I can beg for change, can we beg for change on this challenge? I'm not sure Dude you've seen, I'm not afraid to ask for a discount, so if I have to stand on a street corner with a cup saying You know, scrapyard wars, please help, whatever I need a GTX 780 or the R9 290 Not going to lie, need a GTX, you know, whatever No I'm not homeless, yes I am desperate, please help Hi, I'm calling about the R9 390 Yeah, yeah that's right, oh hold on, just one second Yeah, yeah this is Linus So I am in a bit of a bind in terms of how much I have to spend on this I had a GTX 780 lined up And that guy just completely bailed on me and now I'm really stuck Would you be able to do 325? 325? I can come right now I thought that 390 deal was done until the guy opened his mouth and goes I'm just wondering, it sounds like you're Linus from Linus Tech Tips right? And you're doing scrapyard wars? Devastated, I was devastated Oh great, now I can't buy from you Oh why? Because it's against the rules Oh okay Okay, well that's unfortunate Okay, yeah, yeah, you sounded really familiar Okay, well, hi Yeah, yeah I didn't know that rule Okay, no problem No problem Okay, well thanks anyway Okay, no problem Okay, okay bye Okay, bye Fortunately, Bob had a great idea Okay, what's the ruling? What if I call him and ask him the same question? He isn't going to know me That's true How do we get you to call him? Can we find like a pay phone? I can't use my influence And he has no knowledge of me whatsoever That's true He doesn't know that I'm doing the scrapyard wars with you He doesn't know my name He doesn't know anything I'm Joe Blow just like anybody else that would call him Pay phone or? Can I use his phone? That seems okay Yeah, Brandon, Bob needs to borrow your phone I really hope Put the porn away I really hope he doesn't put two and two together here Hey, I'm calling about that $3.90 that you have for sale Would you be able to go down to like $3.25? Would $3.50 be okay? $3.25 is probably lower than $400 Yeah, I'm just trying to work with Like your absolute budget? It kind of is I mean, I guess if I pinched, I could probably add like another $10 So I could probably squeeze $3.35 Do you have any need for it? Yeah, go ahead Well, do you have any need for like, do you do computer stuff? We have like an Antec case that's pretty cool that could maybe throw in or something to help soften it up a little bit I don't personally need it The thing is, if you need it right now I'm in Toronto I'm just doing this, this is my car from my brother's in Vancouver, Burnaby And he won't get home until 7 o'clock PM Tonight? He's probably still, yeah tonight Could we meet up tomorrow morning? No, well he can meet you up today at 7 I just gave him a text He said he'll be available to show you that you can test it out or do whatever you like with it Okay So today it's fine, just letting you know That it would be later So what do you think on that price? Do you think we would be able to do the $3.25? I mean, I know you don't know me, but it would certainly, certainly help me out You know what? If you could put in another $10 Yeah, that's the last I got I won't be able to eat or anything, but I'll do it I'm kind of busy, can you call me back in like five minutes? I'm almost, uh Okay, sure, yeah, definitely I just can't hear anything right now Okay, okay, I'll definitely call back, thank you And my name is Bob Down to the freaking wire, why is it always down to the wire? Hi Hey, it's Bob again You got a, you in a good place now where you can talk? Uh, yeah Cool I just want to add, uh, I actually just got an email reply from another guy who was, uh, Wanted to buy my card He didn't say he, it sounds like he didn't ask about bargaining or anything But, uh, do you mind if I wait for his reply? Um, man, I wish you'd find it in your heart to just hopefully go along with the $3.35 Yeah, okay, yeah It's just, uh, I'm working on a project and it's like, I just really need it Yeah, yeah, I know, yeah Um, so you just want to hear if they're gonna, okay, um Yeah, if he was gonna give me $400, I'd rather take that Yeah, I understand I'll give him like an hour Okay, so if you don't hear back in one hour, do we have a deal for the $3.35? Uh, yeah, sure, I'll give it to you Awesome, man, you are awesome Okay, all right So I'm looking at a $69.90 that I found Um, it's only $200 and, uh, so now I want to tap into some benchmarks Especially at 1440p since it may have, uh, limited VRAM Um, and see if maybe that's an opportunity It's actually really inexpensive compared to what other cards we're looking at right now So we just got two cases for free They've actually got some components in it So this one has a motherboard, graphics card, and a USB card So, and power supplies We have two power supplies? We have two power supplies We might be able to do something with those Maybe do it properly this time, sorry, Austin Pretty comfortable with working with that 12 volt lead When I saw the computers that were fully built, that was kind of insane Um, I really didn't expect they were going to give us that I don't know if it'll help us at all in the end Um, but it might, so We may have scored a sign Uh, or not, I don't know Don't ask questions, Ed Did you notice the guy said Eddzel right when we walked in? Yeah, I thought that was like I was like, what the **** I thought that was, what the **** So did I, yeah I thought it was the other employee's name What? Awesome There's something on the ground? Yeah Don't worry about it, Ed I'm not too worried about not having a GPU or, uh, SSD today Because we can get that But if we have the rest of the base system We can start working And, uh, start focusing in on some of the aesthetics Okay, so basically the situation is that We're finding ourselves not having enough time today To turn things around quickly enough Right, but we kind of saw you guys mixing paint I'm sorry? We kind of saw you guys mixing paint and doing some work Mixing paint? Yeah We actually, no, a hundred percent We have, we did not mix any paint I saw Bob hanging out in Linus' workshop Shaking some paint cans You mean shaking a paint can? Yeah What does that have to do with anything? He was getting ready I don't, I don't think we should get extra time Things happened We gotta find our way through it Oh, I see how this is gonna be No, no, no, no I wasn't shaking No, I wasn't mixing any paint at all I was shaking a paint bottle Just goofing around But not actually That's not even what we're using That's of no consequence to me We weren't doing any work whatsoever Wow Alright, alright Well, I, I see how this is gonna be I see how this is gonna be then So, so basically my proposal Since we were supposed to have a full day today Is that we should be allowed to have the time that we didn't have this morning And we can use it either today Or tomorrow Or the morning of Thursday So that way, depending on how scheduling works out People can come in early, they can stay late or whatever But we can get that hour and a half back So, I'm letting you make the call here I'm letting you make the call Cause I'm gonna put my best I'm gonna put my best competitive system forward either way But it would help us a lot To have the time that we didn't have And it would probably help you guys too if you're being honest What do you want? What do you think? I'm good either way I don't want them to put up a second rate system So, I think we're good to have Sure, I guess we'll give it to you Okay, alright, alright, sounds good Sounds good Okay, bye Yeah, I think they really need that time And we probably don't need it as much But who knows, sometimes you do end up super needing the time When we start cutting windows and all that fabrication work It's gonna take some time And it depends where we, I mean you don't know Until you're probably down to your last couple hours If you need that time or not I think I'm pretty scrappy and can make Know what sacrifices I can make time wise Okay, okay, let's get that meeting lined up as soon as we can Because an R9 390 for $335, that's killer So, the graphics card guy lives in Surrey Which is really close to the office So, we're gonna try to go to the office at 4, 5, 30 And hang around for a little bit to not use any of our extra time Or use as little as possible And then we're going to go meet up with him really quickly And then come back so we can use maybe like 20, 25 minutes hopefully Or maybe 30 minutes of our extra time Then still have an hour for later on And have our GPU Hopefully, the rest of the day today we can get an acrylic thing For our side panel that we want to make We can hopefully get the system And if everything goes well SSD and power supply as well So, we're at Home Depot, we're trying to kill some time So that some guys can actually message us back And we're gonna see if we can get a clear acrylic panel for the window So, we're into a hardware store We're not really allowed filming in said particular hardware store We got an acrylic or plexiglass panel thing Which should look pretty cool And then we got some interesting paints Graphics card, we're picking it up later on But the system is a worry And the frustrating thing is so much hinges on that Because it's so many components in one purchase And last Scrapyard Wars I had a similar thing happen Which is actually why I ended up having to go to FreeGeek Where I had a system lined up And then the guy just disappeared off the face of the planet And I had to end up going to FreeGeek So, hopefully that doesn't happen again Because I don't really want Scrapyard Wars to turn into FreeGeek is obviously the best thing to do all the time forever Even though it kind of is Because it's just kind of boring So, hopefully we get this system Hold on Oh shoot, pop it again Looting up against the bush there was a port of a like Mid-90s Ford tailgate I think it might be aluminum It's pretty soft It's a chunk of sheet metal And if we use sheet metal we only need 18-20 inches So I grabbed it and folded it in half kind of And shoved it in the trunk And now it fits Now it fits So we went to Canadian Tire Got some tiki torches Got some tiki torch oil And some propane for our other fire stuff We got a whole bunch of fire things We also got 10 cents in Canadian Tire money Yes, we're set now Maybe we can upgrade our SSD with some Canadian Tire money Seriously, it's probably worth like twice as much as normal Canadian money So, there you go So, we have our two chassis that we got for free And instead of using the chassis that hopefully we're going to get with the system We could use the two chassis And the advantage of that is we could cut a chassis And decide if something works or doesn't work And we have a second chassis that's identical That we could just move side panels back and forth with Or cannibalize parts from it Our build is going to incorporate fire Weird, I don't really get how this one works Make sure it's fully off It was not There we go Safety warnings but no how-to's Which, you know, if they tell you how to use it would probably be a form of safety There you go Oh Oh my god Our fire elements are actually going very well I'm not too worried about the fire elements at all We might add more, if anything, to be completely honest That is so sick This one's like punctured Punctured? I don't know if it actually has a hole but it's like Sorry, impacted, not punctured How big was that flame though? Is that going to do it again? Yeah, but That's the... That's generating a lot of smoke Oh you got a good way to do that That's not exactly what meant it was supposed to happen there That was the whole wick on fire Yeah There we are out there then There we go Sure enough I'm going to say is this tool still ready to use chassis? This is wide actually Oh It could do it Oh wait a second Coming up I don't know if it's going to be It's actually got kind of what it looks like A couple clips pops out And now we've got these kind of scalloped Gill-like things And this might actually look even better And now we just have to look at the positioning of the piston So we've got the fire, we don't want to block the fire completely So we want to be a little bit offset Flame on I think that's going to be pretty sick That's awesome So we're ready to call him back We're a little late actually Yeah it's 2.25 Can I have your phone? Oh wait, no you called him with Brandon's phone Brandon can I have your You're not going to like this text What? Hey got a reply from the other guy He says he's willing to pay the full 400 So I'm going to have to take his offer, sorry Whoa hold on We just won the lottery How freaking bad ass is that? Did he ever confirm that? That's what he's getting is 40 bucks
