 Two teams try to build the best game and rig they can for $500. The rules are simple. You work within the set hours, you buy the parts you use, and you can't use your influence as a YouTuber to get deals. Oh, and the best RGB computer gets a 10% score bonus. Welcome to Scrapyard Wars. And now, we gotta figure out where to go next, because we were hoping by now the South Orange County option would be where we could go, but we discovered the motherboard is an H61, which you can't overclock with, so it wouldn't be much point of getting a 2600K with an H61 motherboard. Also, it's ECS, which... We've got a second guy, John, who has the same CPU, 2600K, but he actually has a Z68 board, which we could overclock with, and he's an Aliso Viejo, which is about the same direction as the last guy. So it could work out. I texted him, offered $200 for both of them. He hasn't replied yet. I'm just gonna call him. Maybe... Are you gonna call your guy first, or do you want me to call him again? So, I'm in Santa Ana. So, yeah, I'm in Santa Ana. Okay, we could honestly come by right now if you're available. We would probably be maybe 20 minutes or so, but obviously if you're not busy. Yeah, we're open until 5 p.m. I can text you the address and, yeah, feel free to drop by. Okay, yeah, just text me over the address and we'll be on our way. So, Murray had a guy with the 2600K and the ECS motherboard that's H61, which we cannot overclock on. I asked him if we could omit the motherboard for a cheaper price. I offered him $160 for 2600K, 8 gigs of memory, which is dual channel, and 180 gig SSD, which 180 gigs, that capacity means we probably wouldn't need a hard drive. So, that could also save us some money and some time. He seems like a pretty reasonable guy, but he also doesn't want to get ripped off, obviously. So, this could really go either way. Guy in Murrieta with the 2600K just replied to our $160 offer and said, I will pass. I think he's bluffing. Maybe he's bluffing. Are you bluffing? Are you sh**ing me? Are you sh**ing me? This is an industrial area or a commercial zone and I don't know. Again, it's going to be a situation. They're either going to try to barter really hard and get as much money out of us as possible, or if they really just have a bunch of stuff stored and they want to get rid of it, then maybe we can, maybe we can n**gush. So, we've come to a place. They have lots of parts and they seem to be pretty reasonable prices and they have some slightly older stuff, but not too old. So, lots of options here, just no matter what they have on hand. We're trying to definitely get a power supply right now. And they might have GPUs as well, which could be really nice. We walked into the Elion place or Ilion place, the Ilion warehouse. There were a couple people who sort of looked at me and Paul and kind of raised an eyebrow, like I recognize you and fortunately they weren't employees. So, I think that helped, but I think obviously Edzel also helped us and kind of nudged the fans and was like, quiet ex-nay on the Paul and Kyle say or whatever. But it was cool to meet them after the deal was done to sort of shake hands and be like, hey, what's up, thanks for not ruining everything for us. So, it all worked out. They were mentioning some talk of some fairly affordable 900 series GeForce cards, which definitely piqued our interest, I think. Very overclockable, that's the nice thing. Indeed, and they've got power supplies, hard drives. They also have a Z97 board for like 50 bucks or something. I'm currently trying to email a guy for a 4670K, potentially. If we can get that hooked up. That'd be pretty nice. That'd be sweet. So, we just came out pretty fat with some components here. We got a power supply from Rosewill and we got a T4. A thousand watt. A thousand watt power supply. So, we've got some little room there for power. T4 cooler, Z97 motherboard, no CPU yet and also a hard drive. We got all this for what, 80 bucks? 80 bucks. So, yeah. This place is called Elyon Wholesale and we found them via a Craigslist ad for cases. And it was just like what we were looking for. A warehouse just piled with stuff, all slightly old and willing to make a deal for quite a few parts. So, this definitely gives us some wiggle room. We spent less than $100 and we need to locate the big ticket items though. CPU, graphics card. Yeah, so we're gonna need Haswell. No, no, yeah, Haswell or Devil's Canyon, something like that. We're looking for a 4690K right now. I've got a few leads on Craigslist. Hopefully that works out. We're also missing a modular cable for this power supply for the peripherals. We'll have to work that out, but it counts as a tool. Yeah, tool, yes. Okay. Alright, so we got a potential strategy we can go with here too. Since we don't have a GPU yet, but we do have a motherboard with video outs. So, let's say we don't get the GPU till tonight or there's someone who wants to meet in the evening. One of us can stay back and get the system up and running, windows loaded and stuff, while somebody else goes out to pick up a GPU and that would... We can do that, right? Yeah. We can split up. We never told... There were no rules against that kind of thing. We're not like, Siamese twins or anything. Alright, I think it's lunchtime though. Yeah, I'm hungry. So right now we're meeting up with a guy named John who, by some miracle, is selling his 4690K Core i5 for $140. Seems like there's no strings attached. I guess we'll find out when we get there, but that's putting us in even better shape than we are now. If we can get that part sold for that much. Very close to me. That... Yeah, it's very close. There's only a 12 minute drive from where we had lunch. Like I said, we're on our way there now. So I think at that point we just need the main part after this. Assuming that we don't get mugged here is going to be the graphics card. And that gives us plenty of time. We've got all the rest of today. It's only, what, 1.30 p.m. And we're already getting a pretty decent CPU and a bunch of other stuff. So... I guess I could have just waited until I got in the car to... Yeah. So he said he was running at a 4.4 to 4.6. Which is... At 1.3, 1.2 volts. 1.3 volts. That's one of my keys. That'll do. That'll do, pig. Yep. Okay, so we're looking up GTX 980Ti's at this point. We only have about 170 to 200 bucks to spend. And 200 really, if we need to, we can return the RGB LEDs. I'm down to do that for a 980Ti. I'm looking right now on Craigslist. They're all like $300 and up. But I pretty much have crafted an email that I'm sending out to this guy saying, Hello, I can give you $200 cash for the GTX 980Ti and I'll drive to you. I know that's a pretty low offer, but that's literally all the money I have left. And I need that card more than anything. If you've ever wanted to pay it forward to a fellow bro, this is your chance. Take it before it's too late. And I'm planning to copy paste that to all the GTX 980Ti owners on Craigslist right now. So, we'll see what happens. I hope there's no one who's like, selling more than one of them and gets the message from both. Oh, oh, oh, RAM update. RAM update. So, RAM guy, RAM guy, the guy who had all the RAM, that's why we call him RAM guy. He actually came back. Finally, after all day of silence, he was like, I can do it for 20 bucks. So that's $10 off of other RAM guy. So, I'm going to cancel other RAM guy and go with primary RAM guy and get it for like 10 bucks less. And then we can put towards a better graphics card. You know what, Kyle? What? That's RAMtastic. Okay, so once I convinced Linus and Brandon that it might not be the worst idea to get on a plane and go to Palo Alto, we took off. I had to get us to the hotel immediately. Once we got to the hotel, I threw the car in park, ran inside, got both, all three of our passports and we sort of made it. Wait. What? Hold on, if this guy has a phone number, I'm going to call right now. This guy has a phone number. This guy has a dual Xeon workstation. Which is three, five, seven. SSD, keep that in mind. I know, I know. He wants 450, but we don't need all of the stuff. New Media Hollywood, this is Megan. How may I help you? Hi, I'm calling about a listing that Matthew there put on Craigslist. All right. What was the listing for? It was for a Z800 dual Xeon workstation. All right. And your name? My name's Ash. Ash, let me transfer you over to someone. I think Matthew is actually out right now, but I have someone else who can help you out just a moment. Great. Thank you. Hello, this is Jim. Hi, I'm calling about, I think you guys actually have more than one workstation listed on Craigslist. Yeah, what's going on? Okay. I am, it's a kind of a long story, but I am in kind of a bind here. So here's what I need basically. RAM, a dual socket motherboard, and like a case power supply cooling solution. SSD. And in a perfect world, if you guys had like an old SSD, that would be amazing as well. Okay. All right. Yeah, let me find out about that, and I'll get right back to you. That would be super amazing. Sorry, I didn't catch your name. My name is Tim. Tim or Timothy? Tim. Okay. Great to meet you. And I really, really, really, really hope you can help us out here. That would be super duper awesome. All right. Sounds good. Yeah. Let me just talk it over, and then I'll give you a call back. I'd say within, you know, next 15, 20 minutes. That would be perfect. Thank you. Okay. All right. Talk to you soon. Okay. Bye. Okay. So let's just start driving towards the airport, and then if we hear back from the local workstation guys, then we will stop driving towards the airport. Like basically the next hour, we either win this competition or we lose. And like we have nothing. I can cry. Like I'll cry if that's what it takes. I need this system. Okay, it's been 19 minutes. I'm calling. Calling. It's 19 minutes. What was his name? What was his name? Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim. This is Patrick. Hi. I'm calling for Tim. Tim? Yeah. I don't have a Tim here. Wait. Wrong number again. Oh, I'm confused. Maybe I dialed the wrong number. I'm sorry. I'll have to try again. Sorry. Okay. Okay. Who did I just call? I don't know who I just called and I don't have the number for these guys anymore. Oh my God. Well, Tim, I don't know. Okay. No, no. I remember what I searched for. I searched for Zion. Well, there. There's your 20 minutes. This is like not funny anymore. Like I like, you know, I like the tension for the sake of the show, but oh, this is it. Oh, I called the wrong number. I have no idea who I just called. New Media Hollywood. This is Megan. Can I help you? Hi. I'm calling for Tim. For Tim? Is this? What was your name again? My name's Ash. Ash. Yeah. Right. Sorry. Just one moment. Let me go grab him for you. Awesome. Thank you. So I'm so sorry to call again. Apologize for me, please. No, no worries. You're fine. You're fine. So our PC guy, he's actually out right now. He's going to be back probably about 30 minutes. He said that he can double check the computer because there's a few things he'd have to check before we can sell it, but that we may have one. I don't know how long you're going to be in town, but I have your contact so I can give you a call as soon as he gets back and he's checking the system. Okay. I pretty much need to drive there right now. It's like really it's a very long, really stupid story. But so like, is it like so? Okay. So if he's giving me the go ahead on that my pricing is not totally unreasonable, can we just can we just come there? We're really techie. We could even test it for you guys so you don't have to hassle around with like whether it works or not. And we're not asking for a warranty or anything like that. That I'd have to find out. I think the price would be a little more. It'd probably be closer to like three. But that I would have to I would have to talk to him and make sure. Okay. Hold on. Let me let me pull up my spreadsheet. We're working on a really a really fixed budget here. Closer to so would it be three hundred with the SSD and CPUs? Well, we the one the unit that we have it doesn't have a CPU inside and then the other one it didn't have a hard drive either. So it'd be without those two. Oh, no. Okay. But as soon as he gets back, I can have him contact you guys, you know, kind of see where you're at and see if we can still work something out. I honestly I have to know in like the next two minutes, could I call could I call his cell and see if I can work something out with them? Yes, you want to do that and then just give me a call back or something. That yeah, sure. Could I get his cell number? I'm so sorry. Well, he's actually driving right now. So he's not even in the office. Oh, no. Yeah. As soon as he gets back, you'd have to check on the specs and then kind of do the clean process and make sure everything is wiped and everything's gone. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. What time is your flight? Basically, like if we can't if we can't get something done with you guys, we have to go try and book something at the counter and walk on like immediately. Like we're in the parking lot. Okay. I mean, I'm pretty sure. Let me check. I know I have a system that's probably ready to go, but that's going to have, you know, the hard drive that's going to have like everything in there. It's going to be closer to our price that we have online, which I'm sure it's over like 300. I'm sure it's closer to like four. That's what the system is like ready to go. But I can I mean, if you guys want to do something like that, I can check on that. We can't we can't do that. Like we can Frankenstein Frankenstein together. Something is much easier and better for us. Okay. Okay. I'll just have to let you know if anything changes. Thank you. Yeah, no problem. Sorry about that. Okay. Thanks. Anyways. Already. Take care. Circling. We have eight minutes. We have eight minutes. Okay. Park. Park. Like I don't know. We got to call them then schedule for tomorrow because if we can't schedule for tomorrow, then we don't have the system anyways. Okay. And we just have to go to Michael and get a system. Yeah, just go just go park. I'm going to call Michael right now. F***. I thought these guys were going to come through. It seemed like we were pretty close to being able to get something done. Like I don't think we can I don't think we can fly out there because like we're still two dollars over even if everything goes according to plan. Hi Michael. Hey, having a rough day to be perfectly honest. Are you in the shop right now? Are you able to basically every other deal we've tried to get done here is collapsing around us right now. You had said you had decent towers that we could put the video card in for like pretty affordable. Like what kind of specs are you talking? I'm looking to my left right now. I see a pretty cool fuller master H&S. Kind of old but you can do it in there. I'll throw you guys. I'll throw you guys a Lenovo Sink Center. It's an i7 3770 8 gigs of RAM and tear by hard drive. Oh, for how much would that be? We think about 200. 200. Okay, so we would still need. Can you okay, this is going to this might this might be annoying. But could you could you do an SSD for that and then could we bail on the video card? Okay, so we have a. So long story we have to build the best computer we can here for 500 and we had a lead on a 980 Ti for 300. You know what Ash? All right, man. I'll throw in the video card. I got a 120. I got a 120. 120 or 60. I mean, would you be cool with the 60 or does it need to be 120? 120 would help a lot. I got a Samsung 128 SSD in here and I'm going to try to help out. Okay, you have just saved our day in a lot of ways that won't be clear until. Until all this plays out. We are we are we are driving there right now. Wow. Okay, so just to confirm 3770 8 gigs RAM some motherboard. Yeah, I'm going to let you know right now. Small form factor, but the motherboard can fit in normal cases. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, that's cool. That's fine. It's not like one of those like weird architectures like in the HP and like the Dell. A lot of people know it's like if you can fit the motherboard in the other case. Cool. Do you have a model number for it by any chance? Yeah, sorry to rush off. I'm with another customer right now. Let me see if I can. Okay, just go bail. You've done you've done enough. We're on our way. We're coming. All right. I'll see you soon. Okay. Thanks, dude. All right. Okay. So how much is that? Holy we just got CPU motherboard RAM SSD and case. Oh my God. I don't know. Oh, I'm glad I got a help. He's including a power supply 200 bucks. So so worst case scenario. We take the 980 also from Michael. We get everything from one source. And we still have a 3770 with a GTX 980. Yeah, but if we get I'm going to start following up 980 Ti leads. So the good news is I don't actually know how much time we wasted. We wasted some time 40 minutes to Michael's. I got to let I got to let Omid know that we don't need those CPUs. And Justin that we're not picking up the system. And Justin know that we're not taking it because they're currently trying to park that out for us. Yeah. Okay. Now I get to send all the I'm a whole emails. Okay. Well, I'm going to let Justin down first because we're definitely not going to follow alto. Yeah. Whereas I'm still going to follow up the workstation lead. I'm going to see if we can get the dual CPUs done. So I'm going to keep Omid hanging still. Yeah. Okay. Hey Justin. I feel terrible, but we just found a 3770 gaming CPU for is it a K really really no, I doubt it. For really really cheap and we're going that route instead. You guys were awesome. And I'll recommend you to everyone. I know. Hi, is this Anthony? Yeah. Hi, I'm calling about your 980 ti on Craigslist. Okay. Can you? No, I actually just sold it last night. I offered this guy 275 and he said thanks for the offer. But as it stands, I'm still offering the cheapest 980 ti and he's right. What if I say should I just go straight to our limit? Just go. Okay, 290. Let's see if we'll do it. I would say what about 280 and a one terabyte hard drive external? Okay, but we don't actually know that we're getting that hard drive. We know we're getting the SSD. Like he might want to like he's already Michael's already doing us a lot of favors here. I don't think he owes us a hard drive at this point. I want to offer 290. I want to get a card and give us a sec. Let's do let's do Michael first. We're like right here. Let's just see what we got. God, I feel like I've been in that car forever. Okay, so we're happy. We're here at Michael's shop. Let's go in and see if we're going to get a deal done here. Oh, my slides on done. Wait, wait. I will let you film if I get a picture. You look like someone I know, Ash. Dude. Oh my God. Oh my God. Okay. Look guy guy that was been texting right now 215. He said 215. I'm free right now 215 for a 980 ti. If we get this card, we win Scrapyard Wars. I do not think Linus and Luke are getting a 980 ti. I mean they might be some like crappy SLI stuff or but dude, this is a 980 ti in Devil's Canyon. This is a freaking miracle if we pull this off. So I tried to get some cheap SSDs. Honestly, we just got the $45 one from Micro Center. If we're going to get this 980 ti for 215 bucks, we need to return some stuff that we bought. The SSD is a place we can cut corners if we can just get a 32 gig or even a 64 gig for less than 45 bucks. And also the RGB LEDs. I just set up a guy in Craigslist to see if I can get his strip and not him to strip but his LED strip and a controller for $10, which is half the cost. It would save us an additional $10 on the strip kit that we just got at Micro Center, which would give us technically enough to buy the 980 ti. But I got to do this quickly because I don't know how long this offer is going to stand. I mean, he might be second guessing himself right now. Like 215? Am I really going to do 215 for an 880 ti? So I got to act fast right now, otherwise my chance could go quite soon. Wait, stop. Did you stop filming? No, right? He just replied, hi, I was just about to replace the ad. I have a bunch of items, including HDMI cables. Don't care. The RGB light controller. A fan. Five input connectors. It's better that I'm selling as a lot. For $20, no, it's part of the lot and I want to sell everything together and not piece it out. Really? He's going to sell it as a lot? RGB strips with with freaking HDMI cables? Who's looking for those two exact things? For 20 bucks, which is the same that we paid for the current kit we have. I'm going to try to work some magic here. So we got this modular SATA cable. We need to make sure that we want to make this work with this power supply. So in a SATA plug here, you have five different actual leads going in there. Black is ground. Yellow is 12 volts. The red is five volt and I believe the orange is 3.3 volt. I'm going to double check that to make sure I've got that right because I don't do this often enough to have that memorized. I should have memorized. But anyway, if I figure what's coming out of here, then I can repin the plugs on this end because I've got the extraction tool. Just switch them around to match up with the proper voltage. And then this should work because we've got to have this for our SSD and our hard drive. And since we've got some fans that need Molex plugs, probably also need to do the same thing with this one with Molex. OK, GTX9TIGuy replied. He said, well, first off, he wants to meet at a police station. I think I scared him a little bit by now. But he also said he wants to do the trade off before dark. So he's a vampire. Possibly that would make me scared of him, actually. No, he would not be a vampire. We can we can be we can know that he's not a vampire. That's right. You should bring garlic just in case. But anyway, do you think 7 p.m. is reasonable? Yeah, if we go south, there shouldn't be too much traffic and coming back north is where it'll be rough. So if we can meet him right when it's hopefully lining up and getting back here shouldn't be quite as bad. And then hopefully Starbucks guy or RGB LED guy would be down to meet up at 730 ish in Rancho at the Starbucks that he mentioned. 9TIGuy can meet right now. He wants to meet before dark, but he actually has to be somewhere by 530, which is in just over an hour. So I have to go right now. I am texting him right now that I'm on my way because we're not going to get another chance like this. I want to truth see if my rewiring worked. The plug goes in. Hands off of it while I flip the switch. Beautiful. Proper voltage reporting on all the rails. So it looks like we're good. Moment of truth. That's a good sign. Grew up with sisters. Maybe you learned how to do this. I actually have no idea what I'm doing. Lucy, I'm home. Did you bring dinner? I got a little surprise for you. Is it tasty? It rhymes with mine, Rady PI. Just a hint. That is gorgeous. It's the Amp Extreme 2. I know. It's not even like a reference model. That's beautiful. It's awesome. And dual channel 8 gigs, 2 by 4, 1600, I believe. Hopefully it works. It's not the prettiest, but it's functional. Hey, yeah, but this is really where it's at. It was functional. I think I did that when I got in the car, too. It was really funny because you know how I kept sweetening the pot? I was like, you will be rewarded if you embark on this leap of faith by doing business with me. You'll have a reward or something. And I'm like, I show up. I'm like, all right, so you know who Linus Tech Tips is? He's like, no. No. So I had to explain to him like five minutes of like scrambling, like, oh my gosh, what if he doesn't want to do it now? And I'm just like talking to him. What if he's got like four million subscribers and I'm going to like shout out your name? He's like, I was like, do you have a website? He's like, no. I'm like, do you have like a name? You have a name? I can say your name. He's like, Evan. I'm like, all right, Evan, Evan, great. And he's like, so wait, that's the reward you were talking about? I'm like, you're famous. Yeah. But he was he was a super cool guy. So he ended up going through with it. So we got this bad boy. Although slight catch, it was agreed 215, but I didn't have exact and I forgot to ask him for change. So I gave him 220 for it. But I think if we return the SSD and the RGB kit that we got at Micro Center, we just barely break even. Okay, so it should be okay. All right. Looking good. I even have front panel connectors wired up. Wow. Look at you. Yep. FPC's in the house. Just getting work done. Sexy. Yes, FreshBooks has actually been pretty useful helping me keep track of all the stuff that we've been spending. GTX 980 Ti. Boy. I think our strong point is certainly the GTX 980 Ti. I think that's probably going to surprise them. I don't think that they're going to see it coming. And that's sort of what I'm guessing right now because I feel more confident in the graphics card in our graphics card than our CPU. I think that they might have a faster performing CPU, but not necessarily as quick of a graphics card. So it'll be interesting to see how that balances out and how that all plays out when we actually run the tests. I'm sure this does not have a removable drive cage. How long is that? Yeah, that was the only thing that I was concerned about is that it is a fairly beefy GPU. Worst case scenario, we can just hacksaw this out of here, but... It's probably a good 11, 12 inches. Here, let's take a look. Ooh. Is that... I don't know. I know. Can you... Oh, no. Wait, seriously? Oh, no. There's no way. We're just going to have to rip that out. We'll just have to rip it out. Do you have tools that can cut through that? Yeah. Okay. It's not going to be clean, though. Doesn't have to be clean. It's fine. You know, aesthetics is not nearly important as performance. This cage is riveted in here, too. It's okay. We'll find a way. We'll fit that sucker in there. It's the last thing we do. It's this piece. You just cut the end of the shroud off, right? That might be easier. Will it work without it? I don't know. I mean, it should. It's just plastic. But I'd rather not do that if we can avoid it. Yeah. I'd rather mess up the $10 case than the $300 graphics card. Yes. Wait, wait. I will let you film if I get a picture. Oh. You look like someone I know, Ash. Did you know when we were on the phone? Or did you just know when we showed up? No. Oh, okay, good. Hold that thought. When we arrived at Michael's shop, I immediately suspected that he knew that we were on the phone. I immediately suspected that he knew who we were. I mean, this guy was way too nice. So sorry, Ash. Just give me one second. Oh, no, no, no. Carry on. Look, they have water. This is cool. Cool. So can you show us the system? Yeah, whatever's good. That would have been bad. It's still wet. It's still wet. It's still wet. It's still wet. It's still wet. It's still wet. It's still wet. We get them by the truckload. Cool. Okay. Do you have... Wait, was that... So it was a 3770, right? Yeah. Do you have something that will take a full-height graphics card? I could throw in a case for a little bit extra, and then the motherboard will fit that. We can chop it. Okay, let's... Oh, I don't want to do that. We don't have one. That's stupid. Okay. Yeah, I was looking for something that could fit a full-size graphics card. You were asking for the 980? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's the best I could get you right now. As far as i7s are concerned, I mean... I got a... I mean, we're pretty flexible if we're allowed to kind of tool around a bit and mix and match. Do you know how to get this side panel off? I'm not demonstrating my skills here. Oh. There we go. Okay. A workstation built together? Potentially a workstation. Um... I mean, really, it's like... What work... Okay, yeah, this power supply won't work with a standard case either, so we've got to be careful on that one. So this is a 3770. 8 gigs of RAM. 240 watt max. Okay, so our power supply is definitely... Definitely going to be a problem. Um... Would you guys happen to be looking for a power supply? So we... Okay, so here's the... So the deal that we were trying to do was a dual socket workstation that we were going to get for $300, and then we're stupid, the place we were talking to is in Palo Alto. So we clearly... It's a little far away. If we're on a budget, clearly plane tickets are not going to work very well for that budget. It's a little out there. So we were going to get that for $300, and then we were going to pair it with the 980 we were going to get from you for $200, and our max budget is $500. However, if we can... So we... I've actually got like six different 980 Ti guys kind of on the go for around... A little over three, so like $310. So we basically need the rest of the system for $200, which means that if we can't get a third generation Core i7, maybe we could work with you on something not third generation. Uh... So $2,600 for i7s. But we do need a full-size tower that can fit. I don't think this is going to work, because... Let me see. This right over here. Here, I can help. This power supply looks like junk. There they are. This is an i7-2600. So the good news is, this is the kind of shop that we were looking for. Wow, that is the derpest heatsink design I think I've ever seen. So... And this might be the proprietariest motherboard. This must be like BTX or something. This is HP, I don't even think it is, but this power supply is non-standard. There's very little that's usable in here. But if this system didn't work, that could actually work in our favor. He has a bare 2600. A bare 2600 CPU? Yeah. What about a motherboard, though? We'd have to find an overclockable board. 2600K? No, no, no. You can still overclock those a little bit, even though they're non-K. That's a thing. That seems fine. There we are. I don't know... The TI, I believe, is two of those. Two of the eights? I think so. I can set you up with one terabyte. I could do a 60-gig SSD for 15. We don't need a hard drive? We have a hard drive already, though. 60-gig SSD for 15. Okay. This I would have to do for 35. 60-gig for 15. Is Windows 10 even going to fit on that with all the crap on it? Oh, yeah. I do budget builds from here all the time. I set Windows. I put Windows 10 on there. But that still puts us at 195, and we still need a case and a power supply. We have $5. $5 case and power supply combo. Oh, my God. I could get you guys... No one's going to notice the power supply missing. But you guys holding that thing out, I'm going to be asked about it. Because I've asked for that case for a while, so you know if it's missing. No one's going to notice if you walk out here with a power supply. Okay. What if we find a different, like, bare bones to start from? Sure, sure. Then that'll give us a little more room. Because if we can find something ATX with a decent power supply. But as far as i7's concerned, that's the cheapest I'm going to be able to get you. Can we start doing, like, CPU swaps and swap an i5 for an i7? As long as they're the same socket? You can make it quick. Can we play mix and match? We can move fast if you show us the systems and say, do a CPU swap. i5-3470. Oh, wait, maybe I did look at this one. Maybe there was a reason, though. Oh, the power supply was crappy. But we could work with that, because they could have a... As long as there's a power supply on the test bench and there's a power supply in the system... Hold on a second. Oh, boy. Where did I put this? Okay, side panel's here. Okay, cool. Where was that? This one has BIOS support, though. Okay. Okay, I'm feeling... I'm feeling okay right now. HP Pro looks cooler. You think so? It's shiny and stuff. You like this one? The desktop, the lying down flat one, has a 3770 in there. So we were going to take the chip from one of these and put it in there. Got it. And take that and put it in here. Yeah, well, my boss does trust my judgment, so, yeah, do your thing. Okay, thank you. Your judgment is excellent. I think it's excellent, too. He's like, yeah, man, I trust your judgment, so, you know, do whatever you got to do to make the customer happy. You know what, Luke? You like this one better, right? I just thought the front looked cool. Thought the front looked cool. Okay. There's pretty much no other reason there. Actually... Wait, you're using these cases, right? Yes. You got one with the... This one does look a little roomier. And airflow-wise, that'd be better. Like an 80-millimeter fan could just walk away, right? Yeah. If we needed a fan, I think we should take this one. Okay. Thanks so much. You've been way too helpful. Hey, Michael, do you have a 92-millimeter fan by any chance? Or a 90? Does this look like that to you? Let me see. That's an 80. Okay. That's a 92. But I can't take your CPU cooler, can I? What kind of computer shop is this anyway you don't have a 92-millimeter fan? I'm taking my business elsewhere. No, we're not. No, we're not. Okay, you called my bluff. You called my bluff. We're not going anywhere. Find another shop with a missing boss. Oh, crap. This fan has a proprietary four-pin connector on it. What are the odds you have a sacrificial dead fan that I can splice a standard connector onto? I don't ask for much, I know. If we were going to go with a 980, I mean, this would be probably the 980. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Okay, let me see if I've heard back from any of our 980 Ti leads. Whoa. 275 FTW 980 Ti. That's sick. That gives us a few bucks to work with. Keep a little bit. Power supply money. Priorities, we got a 980 Ti. I mean, let's try this, but... Are you weighing those for power supply? Although it's a quick way to know what kind of system I'm dealing with. Like how much they spend on the heat sink and the power supply, and the overall build of the chassis. It's an indicator, okay? It's not the be-all and end-all. I'm going to join you. I'm going to weigh some... It's not the be-all and end-all, obviously. I'm going to weigh some systems. Okay, well, I'm going to start digging out one that I found that looks kind of promising here. I don't think we're going to find anything better than what we have. Like honestly, that old workstation looked kind of promising, but... I mean, do you want to go full ghetto and do two power supplies? We can. It's kind of been done before, but you got to do what you got to do. Not effectively. That's true. Wow. I mean, is it because you're in the sun that you feel the need to throw so much shade right now? Like I just... It seems I'm called for. I'm just dropping facts, dude. I'm just dropping facts. I mean, this is a vanquished opponent. I'm just dropping facts, man. This is a vanquished opponent, man. It's just... I mean, you're taking all your salt and you're rubbing it right in the wound. Dude. What if we found a power supply in that scrap heap? Is that $10? Did you see something in there that you liked? I saw something that's like probably not that far off this. Just the power supply? Yeah. That'll be $10. That's $10? Okay. Even though it was in the scrap heap? Yeah. Oh, okay. Oh, it traps. I can sell it to you for half, but I got to sell it to you. You got to sell it to me first. Yeah, because I'm going to hear about it if... Five bucks. Five bucks for the scrap heap one from the 771 workstation. And if that fails, we don't have enough to buy a power supply. No, we don't. So that deals on the table. So that's a gamble. I say we maybe sit on it. Okay. Could we come back tomorrow and buy a power supply for five bucks off the scrap heap? Yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Okay. So we sit on that. Get the system though, because we need to start... Okay. I have some power supplies on my own. If you guys want to give me a call beforehand, I'll get in and work out what I have personally. Sure. Okay. Yeah. And I'll just... That's good? Okay, awesome. Okay, but I was allowed to swap these power supplies. Okay. Okay. So I'm going to do... You know what? I'm going for the thermal takeover of the HP one. Okay. I mean, at least it has PCI Express connectors. And what I've heard is that it's just a range that you get. So if we get lucky, then that might be all we need. I mean, we're gambling no matter what we do at this point. What we do... Whatever we do is going to be a risk. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, can I screw it in? Let us... Where are the... I mean... Ash? North Hollywood. Okay, so I'll just go... I'll cut straight to the point. We found one. We haven't actually gone to pick it up yet, but it's a little far away from us. But we found one for $2.75. Is that close to what you were able to charge for it, or should we just go get the other one? You could do it for $2.50? What kind of card is it? Is it a reference or like a... Could I get the exact model? Sorry, it has a water cooler on it? Yeah. $2.50? North Hollywood? Yeah. Let me just... Are you wanting to... It's a 980 TI? It's a 980 TI? It's a 980 TI? Hold on a second. We might have ourselves a deal. Did you want to get together today? Like very soon? My phone just died! Oh my goodness. My power just turned off. Oh, terrible. Next week on Scrapyard Wars. Okay. So what we have to know then though is, I see there's a little note in the box. When did you figure out who we were? What do you think? Are you kidding me? Are you talking about blatant cheating now? Yes, I am.
