 Previously on Scrapyard Wars $300 cash? The very best gaming rig that we can build Seems like an okay deal for an 8400 computer to me Someone just accepted our offer for $100 on a 7950 Sorry, I can't come down to get anything tonight, so I might have to pass And now the conclusion, we're part of it Scrapyard Wars I've got a 500 watt Antec power supply that we're headed to pick up right now And then the R9 290 I got for $180 So that's actually pretty sweet We will go pick that up later Did he say 290? Is that fast? What's a graphics card? Okay, so it's day two of our search And we've got to find out where our destination is So I'm not exactly sure where we're going Okay, I have the address for our first appointment On my laptop, which battery is low Scrapyard Wars 1 There we go, now we're good Okay, I really hope that's not it I think it might be Holy crap, this is some sketch We're going to the ghetto Okay, so this is 5332 Holy crap This is like, this is some sketchy dealings Let's get in there and buy things What's under there? No parking, no, they parked in front of it Like, where does this door go? I don't know, there's some blood in there though Hello Are you Santa? Hi, I'm Linus Nice to meet you This is Nick, he can turn off the camera if you want No cameras today That's fine So our contact here got us pretty hooked up actually He had the whole thing running on a test bench To show that it booted up and had core temp, CPU-Z installed and everything So we could validate that everything's good to go So this is an EP35 DS3R A pretty decent little board, it's got an extra chip on there for SATA 2 RAID We've got 8 gigs of what appears to be, yeah, mix and match So we've got half Samsung, half Kingston DDR2 800 There's a Q6600 on there with a cooler And then we also, just thrown in Got what appears to be the remains of a Freezer 7 I think we can make use of that with an extra fan Or something along those lines And then we also got an Earthwatt 500 watt power supply Which was better than I was expecting I actually didn't know what model of power supply we were going to get But this has got two PCIe 6-pin connectors on it So that means that powering our graphics card later isn't going to be a problem at all And then I thought we were getting a 500 gig hard drive And we actually ended up with a 1 terabyte hard drive So, oh yeah, right in the case So there were a few sort of Cooler Master Elite class options Or there was a Silverstone TJ04 That happens to be missing a couple of bay covers Well, I have some bay covers We've got a card reader, a floppy drive Yeah, baby So, oh, and look, the Vancouver Olympic mascots That was a bonus, I didn't even have to pay extra for that Alright, so I'm feeling pretty good We just need the rest of this day to go well Still need a graphics card So I just got my Antec Basic Power 500 watt continuous power power supply Which is exactly what I was looking for Looks like it's in good shape, clean, happy with all that kind of stuff While I was talking to the guy though, I was like, yeah, thanks for doing this I know it's really short notice because I just emailed them this morning And it was his dad or whatever And he's like, yeah, it's been an interesting day Someone was just here picking up a case and power supply like 20 minutes ago What? Who do you think that is? There's like no way that isn't Linus Except it wasn't Man, we're probably so close Oh, that would have been so funny if we were picking stuff up at the same time Anyways, let's go get some lunch Because, you know, we're having a chill day They're probably freaking out driving everywhere So I had multiple leads on 7950s for $100 And then I actually ended up with two GTX 580s lined up for $100 I decided I wanted 7950s so I bailed on all the 580s I got back to what looked like a very promising 7950 lead And then heard nothing So this guy who's actually going to be on different job sites today But I asked him very nicely yesterday to bring it with him in case I need it I'm going to try and track him down next After we go meet up with the guy who I promised t-shirts to Technically I don't think we're allowed to use anything that we didn't get But Luke will never know that I used my own, uh... Yeah, that's true We can always just lie to Luke Right, yes Lying It's Linus Lie-ness, it's right in there Also, we just arrived to meet up with them I was trying to figure out how to tell them I don't have the right shirt Turns out I did grab the right shirts We do have Linus Tech Tips shirts So this will be a lot more successful than it otherwise would have been Let's go Ah, hello gentlemen Nice to meet you Sorry I wasn't able to take the card unfortunately So I found a 7950 which gives me about a 10% edge in GPU performance So I gotta take it My plan for this, if I didn't get the Zalman Was I was just gonna rip the block off and use like a stock Intel heatsink On the GPU core or something Which would have been awesome, it's like Super Ghetto But I found the 7950 so I kinda had to take it But you had said you wanted me to sign something as well? I brought a silver pen, smartass There, the real Linus Alright Since I showed up and didn't buy anything actually Alright well it's a pleasure to meet you gentlemen We've gotta get to our next appointment here And I'm gonna go get like a hot chocolate or something But I'll see you gents later Wow, cause we're not 5 minutes early, we're 9 minutes early It is now 1.40 He was supposed to be here at 1.15 So he just texted me saying he'll be here in one minute But I'm like it's fine, I guess 1.45 I got it but he's super late, we gotta go I don't like it when people are late I especially don't like it when they're that late And when I like clearly stated that it was important And I needed to go early 7950 guy said he'd call us back in 10 minutes And that was 18 minutes ago Now, the guy we just met with That we gave the t-shirt to, he has the 580 Hydro Copper So what I'm thinking, I haven't seen him leave yet Not that I'm parked outside of Starbucks like stalking someone I haven't seen him leave yet So if I don't hear back from 7950 guy That's our backup plan And we take that and then we try and get in touch with Zellman Cooler guy again And we go for it cause that's down in Richmond Which is kind of far but definitely doable Line is speaking Okay, I'll be there in about half an hour as well There you are So let's have a look at our spoils As long as it works This will be the only piece we haven't validated This is a pretty beefy looking card This is a mostly rear exhaust style card So it's got the cooling fan just above the VRM cooling piece right here Alright, I am feeling good I don't know if this is technically cheating cause it's just an aesthetic thing But I'm gonna try and find some aluminum faceplates I actually have some boxes of random junk that I'm taking to the office This is like a $40 piece that realistically I wasn't Luke's not gonna believe I salvaged or got for nothing These are what I actually need Yeah, okay Alright, so I'm thinking we'll do the build off in here So one person will take this desk surface And then the other person will set up a couple desks here And then we can use our pile of computer cases To construct like a wall A wall like a barrier so that neither of us can see what the other is doing So we've been back at HQ already for like two hours And Luke and Brandon are nowhere to be seen They said we can start building at three So given that it's two thirty right now we're pretty close So let's get set up Music Sound of water splashing Sound of door slamming Sound of door slamming F***, f***, f*** Why is this gonna be bad? Save on select Intel 730 series SSDs with instant rebates during Presidents Week, February 22nd to March 1st, 2015 Click now to learn more I'm excited This is going to be awesome That's what I said before we turned the camera on And now we're doing it again It's fake but it is what I legitimately said So is it fake? I don't know No one knows Okay, so are we doing the parts show off? Oh, even though we have no alcohol and no cleaning cloths I found this napkin on the floor Oh, that's weird, it doesn't have a model number Maybe this is an unreleased processor I jest, it has a model number So there's our CPU That's gonna be a phenomenal performer Here's our RAM Okay Here's our other RAM Alright Here's our third set of RAM Our fourth set of RAM And our eighth set of RAM And our twelfth set of RAM And our eighth set of RAM He's got a little bit of a viewing port back there I gotta be careful He can see around that corner quite easily And he's a little rascally devil Gotta be careful with that one That's the sound of a quality side panel Being dropped right there I would only drop it like that if I wasn't worried about damaging it Because I have so many cases I bought six cases I thought that would probably be about par Yeah, you probably only bought six cases Because you're gonna need six cases And you're gonna need a lot of them So I'm gonna go ahead and put them in here And I'm gonna put them in here You're gonna need six cases because you're gonna need six cases to end up with a fully functional one Yep Next time on Scrapyard Wars Luke runs out of gas in the bad part of town Nick fights the Statue of Liberty Yeah, I just don't really like freedom How's what what? How was the bathroom? What about that? Oh yeah, your bathroom cleaning What?
