 SCRAP YARD WARS! This episode of scrapyard wars was brought to you by dbrand. I can run now. So let's run now. Where's Austin? I don't- based on Nick coming in and asking if we're supposed to be done, I'm thinking Austin is not done. He walked over to me and was like, how did you install Windows 7 with 20 minutes left? I was like pretty sure he was trolling. I don't mind that, like the system's done. Like the thing is, is like the first time we did scrapyard wars, the benchmark period included like installing software and stuff. Yo yo yo yo, hold on, hold on. Pause everything. What's going on right now with the install? Well Luke's not letting me put my front bezel back on because it's after four o'clock. What about software? We were just talking about that. I don't even have a way of installing all the benchmarks. I do not know your logins or anything, so I can't do that. That's a good point. So I think we should- the software should be- Tell you- tell you what. My computer is 100% done hardware wise. Uh huh. Okay. I love how both the other contestants are taking more time to do- Yo, you can put the camera down, it's fine. I didn't totally just accidentally install 32-bit Windows. So I'm currently installing 64-bit Windows. Did not realize that there was a 32-bit Windows thing on that key, so. I think the troll system deserves to see the light of day. So I'm just gonna put all this in here. There's nobody, look. We're not coming through with any kind of monster computer or anything. The cover's not helping much! Hahahaha. Hahahaha. Uh. So we've decided to do the unveil in two stages. Stage one, we unveil the hardware. Stage two, we all run our benchmark scores, therefore unveiling the performance. Stage three, we unveil the prices that we paid. So Austin, you're up first. Alright, so introducing the greatest system I've ever built. That's not saying much. Oh! Hahahaha. What? Why does it have a power supply on the top? It has a power supply on the top because it has two power supplies! Hahahaha. Okay, so basically, you guys just seem shocked and amazed. You know what? I was going to do that. Oh really? If I had gotten that graphics card. Ohhhh. That was the component that I knew you had. Really? I called the guy and I was like, can I come get it first? And the guy's like, no, I already told him I'll give it to him, so unless he doesn't show up, you can't have it. But I'll tell you what, if he doesn't show up by two, you can have it. So that's absolutely right. And he goes, and he goes, but I don't think he's gonna show up. He's got a California number. You totally got me. Okay, so this needs some serious power. This power supply is purely for the graphics card. Yeah, I figured that out. Which is, it is a 6990. I saw that. I actually almost went for that. A 6990, so we got talking dual GPUs. We also have a Core i7 2600. Not K, motherboard's not overclockable either, so it's pretty much like if it works at stock, I'm gonna be really happy with it. That is the Scrapinator. There you go. Alright, interesting. Alright, well. That's what I expected. Alright. This looks awesome. This. Oh, wow. What the hell? What? Okay. This, my machine, is called the Scrap Hole. Because it's where I buried all the extra hardware that I ended up with. Okay. Wow. Okay. So, I'll start. You're horrified right now. I'll start at the top. Okay. This is an IPI BLLB LGA 775 motherboard. DDR2, my friends. Unfortunately, it doesn't support the Pentium 4 processor. This works, by the way. At least it did before I did that to it. This is a vintage USB 2.0 expansion card. Okay. This is a broken Audigy 2. This is the most disgusting piece of hardware that I have ever laid eyes on. It smells. The computer we pulled this from literally had a used crack pipe inside it. Nice. Really? That's awesome. Literally. That's good. This is a working 9500GS. Watch your power there. This is a working 6850. This is a Sound Blaster Live, also dead. This is a heatsink. So you found some way... This is my army of hard drives. You found some way to go to an actual scrap yard and get all this stuff for basically free. The hard drives may or may not work. I'm not sure. I see. Under there is a Pentium 4 processor. Really? This RAM I borrowed. So this actually is not... I did not obtain the RAM. And that Foxcon board... I don't know. It made those beeping sounds you heard earlier. But you don't have RAM in your system now. Because... But no, you can't add anything now. Oh, he has another computer. What is this? I think this is all just a waste. But you see he has a 6850. It looks like a fairly decent card right there. I think he has a whole other computer. Because I think he went to a scrap yard and actually got all this stuff for basically free. This is the leaning tower of Scrapza. Why do you have two full computers? This is my actual computer. Why don't you just lay it on its side? Why do you lean it? I like it this way. Oh, there's... Yeah, there's no reason. Okay. So this is my Q6600. Yes, I went Q6600 again. Four gigs of DDR2 memory. They're okay. My 7970 Ghost. That was actually modded by the original owner, believe it or not. This Commando ROG motherboard was literally pulled out of a scrap pile of motherboards. This is what I'm saying. He found somewhere... He spent like $18 on this entire rig. Literally. Well, I have a 7970. I mean, come on. Okay, so $25. Yeah, $25. So that, my friends, is the leaning tower of Scrapza. So can I just ask a question? What's the deal with all this stuff if you have this computer right here? We can't ask him what price right now, but he went to some scrap junk place and got a whole bunch of this for essentially nothing. And you said this is a Radeon 6850? That's a 6850. It works. But I'm factoring all this into my price. This is probably... I'm incredibly suspicious right now. Or like cost of metal weight. Okay, so I'll get the scrap hole out of the way. It does actually really stink. And it's like a gross computer. I knew it. Oh! I knew it. I basically told you. You asked me some stupid-ass question on the first day. Basically, this isn't... Why is there fishing line on it? This is awesome. I like this immediately. So it's a Q6600. I wasn't supposed to have one of those. I was supposed to have a different processor than that guy bailed on me. So I like scrambled and was able to get this. This is a BFG Tech power spot. Yeah! Here we go. Scrapyard Wars will be right back after these messages. This episode of Scrapyard Wars is brought to you by dbrand, makers of the precision cut vinyl skins that you'll see on the phones and notebooks of our contestants.

Protect the body of your devices and make them look great at dbrand.com slash scrapyard wars. Here we go. Benchmark number one. Cinebench R15. Three, two, one, go! And I think we all know who is winning this one. You know, maybe. Just possibly. Oh yeah! Well, he has eight threads, which is sort of an issue. Yeah. If the name isn't Austin. So this is, I spent a fair chunk more on this i7 almost entirely for this test. So hopefully I beat you guys by a lot. I'm feeling pretty good. I'm crushing Luke. Yeah, actually, what's going on? Don't you guys have the same CPU? Yeah, mine has some issues. 615. 316. Oh, almost double. 316 for Linus. 267. That's not bad. All right. So our first benchmark scores are in. Shall we run PCMark next? Yes, let's do it. Ready? Three, two, one, go! Okay. I'm counting on Austin's like crashing or something because he's going to crush the PCMark score as well. Aw, man. The PCMark advantage has crashed. So what do we do now? Does that mean we have to reset your overclocks? I don't know. Do I get to try one more time? Because I've had it run. I think that's fair. It will technically say yes to immediately reset it to a false. It's up to you. I think I'm going to be a little lenient on this one. Mostly because I also want a little lenience if I have some issues in a minute. That was mainly your rule. I don't know. You were the one that was hard to play. I don't think that's why it crashed. Yeah, that's why. So what's the deal with this? That does not look right. Yeah, yours is doing so...that might be because of your dual GPUs. You think it's just like not... No, that's part of the image manipulation benchmark, I think. Oh, is it? It's not doing that. This is what mine looks like. Yeah, mine's being super screwy. Look at that. It crashed again. Yep, I guess I got to dial back my overclock. Wow. Turn it off. Yep. Which is really... Which is really shooty. Snooty tooty. Just in general, it's a good life skill to be able to turn that off. Gucci gucci. So do I get to keep my Cinebench then? Yeah, I think...because it worked. It completed that test. But his system isn't stable. So I failed my PCMark run, which means I had to reset my CPU overclock, taking me from 3.2 to 2.4 GHz, which in Cinebench basically amounted to about two-thirds of the score that I got. Now we're going to have a look at our PCMark results. How are we going to...submit results or are we just saving it? Yep. Click Submit Results and let's find out how much it affected me in PCMark. My score is zero. That does not sound particularly right. Oh. Okay, so Austin's machine straight up derped. And I apparently crushed Luke. But that's... How is your CPU image manipulation so... Hard drive importing pictures to Windows Photo Gallery! Yes! Why do I not see any of this stuff? I just...oh, the SSD paid off hardcore. You just got creamed. Alright, 3DMark Fire Strike time. Let's do it! Ready, set, go! Now, we decided that unless Austin's actually in contention, which I don't think either of us really thinks is going to happen on this side of the table here. Rude! Unless Austin's actually in contention, we're just going to throw out his PCMark score. It just wouldn't finish. So we'll see how the rest of it goes. If he's in contention, it's likely we'll assign him a similar score to what Luke has. Your CPU is probably helping with... Wait, Crossfire's still on, right? Yes. It is? Yeah, it's easy. Yeah. Okay. Oh no! Luke's crushing us both. Don't worry though, there's the CPU. That's why I was saying it wasn't entirely true. My second testing launch. I wonder if we'll have to turn off that graphics card overclocking. Sure hope not. It says running system info though. What does that even mean? It's on... Is this a physics one? Physics down. So you're probably... Oh wow, that's really good. That's super good. That's going to crush your score. Yep. Let alone now. Did you just crash? Wow, yes. Did you just crash, dude? Yep. Oh wow. Rip. Time to reset your graphics. Tons of grapple bitches. No! No! Look at this! Oh, I'm running at stock settings. All right, I'm in the second test. Yeah! I like it. Nobody's done this twice, it's my favorite. There was no lower enthusiasm. Yeah, the reenactment was flawless. Okay, so let's put Austin's score in. 55-46. 55-80! Ty, you barely beat me. I beat Austin in Fire Strike. Dude, by like 55-46 versus 55-80. That's pretty close. All right. Okay, so Luke's a little behind. He said I waited a really long time. Which is exactly where I like him. So let's go ahead and Austin and I are going to start the Tomb Raider benchmark. Oh, that's lower than I thought it would be. Okay, no, that's fine. Average 109. That's... Minimum 87. Okay, so Austin comes in at 109 even with me coming in at 84.9. Okay, all right, let's run Far Cry 4. Okay, so here's the update. We are swapping out Austin's graphics card with an R9 270 to rerun PCMark and give us approximately the equivalent of if this card were to run with a single GPU, what his PCMark score would be. We know it's an approximation, but the cold hard truth is nobody actually runs PCMark Vantage, so who cares? We're going to live with the approximation. On Luke's system, we are running him off of an uninterruptible power supply to condition the power because I've seen this before where cheap power supplies will actually be able to handle a system, but won't be able to handle crummy power coming off the wall, which with all these systems running off the same outlet, may in fact be the case here. We don't want to penalize him for bad wall power. For my system, we are apparently rerunning my Cinebench. I was doing it so that there was something running. But otherwise, I have completed all of my benchmarks. 6711, he got a score. Okay, do I get my OC back? I don't know, man. It's because of the UPS, those dirty wall power. Is that fair? I think at this point, we all just need to take what we can get. Do I get another crack with my overclock? That's just like a spiral. Maybe that is the dirty wall power. Okay, so you go on UPS. But they have to rerun everything. Come on, we're done here. I don't know, like what? I don't care. Okay, well there's... Oh, my score wasn't that bad. 242. So I'm doing my last test in Far Cry 4 right now. Yeah, it's not running very well. I don't know why it's not running very well. I think low 40s, but I don't know. So I have good news, guys. Hey, it's done. It's done and 9780. Oh. So even without an SSD, I was almost able to beat Luke. So mine's just really low on that one. Yeah. Oh, man. But you crushed the graphics. You did crush the graphics. I think we should let Luke just use his old benchmark score. So the final scores are Austin with 455 out of 500 points. All right. Linus with 362 out of 500 points. And Luke with 386 out of 500 points. Wow. So now all that's left is the cash count. I don't know what any of these coins are. This is a dollar. 589. I just used my calculator for something. Let me do that real quick. I spent 310. I spent 218 dollars. Final price per dollar. Score is really high, though. Wait. Score per dollar. Higher is better. Good job. Good job. Officially wrecked. I think we called it. Linus won by 40 percent. Okay, let's go. Okay, let's go. Let's go. Let's go. All right. I had actually, this is kind of a funny story. If I had lost by 40 dollars, I would have been so mad because the guy with the Q6600 offered it to me for 40. And I was like, no, man, here's another 20 bucks. Really? I'm going to fleece you slightly less. Wow. Now, I was betting heavy on my SSD. I paid 38 dollars for my SSD. Wow. Which is a good deal still. Yeah. But when you consider my 238 dollar budget. I paid 25 dollars for my 150 gay hard drive. 25 bucks? I paid 10 dollars for mine. You got wrecked on your hard drive. Okay, my motherboard and CPU, I was supposed to have a 9550 and some other board. That guy I showed you, I had 18 emails back and forth and stuff. Just, oh, you're supposed to bring it to work. Oh, I forgot it. So I had to scramble and find some other solution. This was on the second day. So like, there's basically no way I'm going to be able to set an appointment and have that appointment in the same day. I ended up going to Free Geek Vancouver, which we've been talking about doing a thing. I got a Q6600 for 17 bucks. What? That motherboard's 35. That hard drive was 10. All that RAM was 40. I should have got four gigs. I think I would have been way more competitive if I got four gigs. All that RAM was only 40 bucks. And that power supply, which actually murdered me and I should have bought the other one that I was going to buy from Kevin's stupid website. But it was 30 bucks. Okay. So why don't we close this out? Austin, it was your first Scrapyard Wars. You came in on unfamiliar turf. How do you feel about your result? I feel like I spent way too much money. That was the big problem. I way misjudged the budget. And I, to be totally honest, my build probably shouldn't have worked. Like how close I cut it to actually getting everything working at the last second. Like it should really should not have worked. Like the second- I was still tweaking stuff too. In your defense, my build shouldn't have worked either. The motherboard. When you see how that motherboard was packed. My power supply barely works. We were all- That happens every time, dude. It's Scrapyard Wars. Don't get yourself into trouble. I was like an hour and a half out. I don't have a working system. I might just be disqualified and just not have anything to show. Oh man, that was brutal, dude. But do you feel good about not getting disqualified? I feel so good. The second I finished the build, I was like, you know what? I don't even care if I come dead last. I just built the system, this crazy contraption that actually works. So happy. I'm still happy. Which is good because you did come dead last. Yes, I did. All right, how do you feel about your performance today? Honestly, pretty good. I'm happy with the FreeGeek Vancouver stuff. I think I actually did quite well. You just got a crazy deal, which is that Scrapyard Wars. That's totally fair. I just wish I actually bought that Corsair power supply. That's the only regret I have. I would have had pretty good over clocks and everything. You still would have won. I just would have been happier with my system overall. But yeah, I wouldn't have changed much. Just power supply. So what I would have changed is I wouldn't have bought an extra $20 graphics card. So I'm just going to, for the sake of running numbers, I'm going to drop 20 bucks off my score here. I wouldn't have tipped the guy 20 bucks. That's crazy, dude. And my FPS per dollar score would have been literally more than double Austin's and would have been about 25% better than Luke's. So I feel really great about my performance overall. You did a good job, dude. As a purist, I really would have liked to find a working sound device. I would have spent another five bucks to get a working sound card. That is like, it's 100% fair because there was no sound benchmarks. But that is, if it was a system you were using, that's a little brutal. Only having a system. Right. And I would have liked to spend time properly on my case. I would have liked to present a more finished build. If I'd had a full another day, I also would have built my troll system. Dude, that was awesome. Part of the problem was I didn't even have time to install Windows on it. But overall, had fun? Had a blast. That was so much fun. Me too. Interesting because you don't know what the other people are doing. That was the hardest part. Honestly, I was getting pretty close to guessing near the end, but the whole time, the duration of the video. You had no idea what you were competing against. In terms of price. I had no idea you were spending what you were spending. You were confusing the whole time. So thanks for watching, guys. I hope you enjoyed Scrapyard Wars Season 3. We'll see you again next time. Drop a like on the video and subscribe and all that good stuff. Scrapyard Wars! Good job, guys. Alright. Awkward nerd high fives. Yeah! Slappy fight. Woo!
