 Scrapyard Wars is brought to you by the new dbrand Grip. Learn more at the link below. We got the guy, Ken's gonna bring us the hard drive he owes us in like 15 minutes. So we have two hard drives. We have like five buyers lined up for the hard drives, which is funny. There's a guy right now that might buy both of the hard drives for 25 bucks each. And the other guy is, I only mentioned 15 a piece. So that's potentially like 20 more dollars right there. So that's 50 bucks right there if he buys both. Because I think 25 for a 2 terabyte 7200 RPM is obviously very fair. I mean he should go to Freege and get them for five dollars cheaper each, but he doesn't know that so that's fair. Yeah, yeah. A minimum we're gonna have 742. Possibly 7... 52. Yeah. There he is. This is Jason. Okay, we'll go ahead and come down. Thanks. So the day started off slow because we have our GPUs, but then we needed the rest of the hardware. So it was basically spent on researching our options. In the morning it might not have really looked like we were doing anything, but it was really stressful. There was one deal in particular, a really good quad core bundle for 150 bucks. That agreed 16 hours prior, but then didn't hear from me for 16 hours. So I followed up immediately and then it was just like playing the waiting game. Finally, after waiting around all morning for that Core i5 bundle and exhausting all of our options to try to upgrade it to a Core i7, we had a total breakthrough. Hold on a minute. Look at this thing. 960, which is exactly what we've been looking for. TX750. Holy crap. This is what we need. It even includes the SSD. And it's $400. Oh my god. This was posted 25 days ago. It's probably sold. No, no, there's a phone number. Most boards in that generation, especially the ones that had all six slots, that had all six slots, did support SLI. But I don't know which one this is. It doesn't look like there's enough spacing underneath that CPU. Hello? Hi, I'm calling about your gaming computer on Craigslist. Oh yeah, hi. Hi. Is that still for sale? Yes, it is. Are you are you able to knock off a little bit if we don't need the graphics card? How much are you thinking of? Like 50 bucks? Sure. You know what? Are you available to pick it up today? Yeah, definitely. Can we meet around 430? Is that okay for you? That could work. Can you do any earlier? I could do like 4 o'clock. Okay. Can I ask one more question? Yeah. Your motherboard, is it SLI compatible? Is it what? Comparable? SLI? SLI. Yes, it is. Okay, so 350, meet at 4 o'clock? Okay. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to just throw in graphics card because I'm not going to be using it anyway. So maybe you can try to resell it or something. Sure. Do you mind texting me your address? That way I can be there ready to go because I got to take transit. I don't have a car. Okay, sounds good. 4 o'clock. 4 o'clock. Okay. And if you're a little late, that's cool. Please text us the address now though so we can make sure we're there. Sure. Thank you. Okay, sounds good. What? What? What just happened? How did we just flip from we have nothing to have this? And he's going to throw in the GPU for us, which we can use. Maybe we should start trying to flip it. Yeah. Let's flip it now. Which is what? GTX 580. GTX 580 like it's actually worth something. And EVGA. I think. Or is it? I don't know. Yeah, yeah, it must be. Okay, can we do a screenshot? Okay, we can just find the stock footage of the card. Oh my God, I think it includes a monitor. No, he. What? Yeah. What if we don't get the monitor and lower the price even more when we need them? I don't want, no, I don't want a low ball. I think we should try and sell the monitor. We're like really cheap. Yeah, like 20 bucks. Yeah, yeah. Let's get our Craigslist game on. I mean, I gotta pee. I'm excited. We're getting responses for the 1980 TI, so. One from nothing to something. It would have been cool if we could get two 1980 TI's. What's that Brandon? I think they have two 1980 TI's. That might be a problem. We spent a lot of time this morning just doing research, trying to find parts. So I was legitimately concerned about the morning felt like we were getting nothing done. $800. That's $537. You end up getting two fairly cheapo power spies and an SSD for like $150, $180. You'd slaughter everything with the 1980 TI's and then probably win. That's scary. I mean, we don't even know that they have it. We could, I mean, they could be trying to get that. I'm pretty sure they've got it. Because in the gaming tests, right, it's all about GPU. Yeah. If we can't sell this stuff, we didn't actually get that computer for a very good price. Yeah. So we need to try to sell this stuff. And we need to try to bargain with other people. Because right now I think we're behind. We keep looking only because it's beating a 1980 TI SLI marginally. I can't find any. I have found one 1080 TI that's for sale in all of BC so far. I'm down to keep looking like 100%. Okay, so let's throw it on the spreadsheet though. So what we pay $350. That includes cooler, motherboard, RAM, power supply, case, SSD. What CPU is this? This is the 960. The one that we originally wanted. That's the one we wanted. Okay, so we have 150 bucks to play with and we could walk there. We need the spreadsheet for all the crap we have to sell. BTX 580, 1080p monitor. I can begin on the... We have a wireless end card. Okay, here's a crazy thought. Go back to Xeon 6 core guy. Right. And offered us just a CPU. And we can try and just buy a 6 core CPU for 150 bucks. For what? For our motherboard? For our motherboard. As long as it supports it. You know what we're gonna have to try and do? We gotta try and identify that board. We gotta do some CSI sh** here, man. Enhance. So the SATA ports... Wait, so did we just knock the price down to 50 but he's still gonna include the graphics card for us? Yes. That is exactly what just went down. Okay, so there's two PCIe 1x slots right at the top and there's a heatsink right there. Because the SATA ports are right next to each other. Okay, right, right, right. Okay, so it's not that. It could be... No, it wouldn't be durable. No, it's not this because it doesn't have orange. See, no orange. So it could be this one or it could be this one. Let's see if we can figure out the south bridge heatsink. I don't think it has the big plate. So it could be this one. Here, let's have a look. Let's look at this one big and let's see if that looks likely. Okay, that spacing looks right. See, it has that little piece I think that's a fan header. Fan header and then two of these. Does it have the ultra durable on the motherboard? Can we see it? I don't know if we can see it because it's a little cooler. Can we brighten it up in Photoshop? Like expose the image so we can see more detail? Maybe, but you know what? I think we know what it is now. I think it's this one. I think it's this one because see this heatsink here? That looks right. What about these connectors here? Let's have a look. Which one did I think it was? I thought it was this one. Yeah, I think it's this. So I think it's a... UD3R. Oh, does that support SLI? I don't know if it does. Do you guys buy components? I've got some USB 3 expansion cards. I've got a Nvidia GTX 660 and an ASUS optical drive on me. I probably wouldn't buy those things by themselves. Like if you're like with a computer or something, I'd buy the whole lot. But just loose, no. Okay, okay. Thanks. That M.2 SSD? Sorry Jay, they're all gone. But I wish you could fortunately just grab their voice to come. And I sent that from an email. Did they have your signature on it? So what happened was when I was sending emails from my phone, I have my burner email. But the signature from my main email was being applied to all of those accounts and I didn't realize it. His burner email had like Jay's two cents and then a link to his YouTube channel and stuff on the bottom. A little bit annoying. So this guy responded back when I asked, hey I'm interested in the 1080 and a half cash. Could meet in Vancouver in the SkyTrain. Would you consider 625 cash? What is your availability? He responded back and was like, I can't believe a person I watch on YouTube almost every day contacted me. I can let you have it for 640 and I can meet any day between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. at any Canada Line station in Richmond or Vancouver. So he didn't give it to me for the price I was asking for. But can we still buy it if we give the offer, if the original price requested on the ad, if we don't find another one. The original price requested on the ad? Was 650. So he only dropped it 10 bucks. He didn't give me the price I was offering. I was requested. What were you asking for? 600? He's asking 650. I said, can you give me 200 for 625? He's like, oh my God, it's Jay. But no, I can do 640. So there's no leverage in who I am there, but he did acknowledge I am who I am. So my question is now if this has become their only option, like this is the only reply we've got. We could call Ed, but I think the listed Craigslist price is still fair. That's what I was going to say. I think because that's no haggle. Hold on. Oh, oh, I'm going to be so upset right now. He said it supports SLI. He said it did, but he's a guy on Craigslist. Oh, SLI. OK. OK, in terms of spacing, you know what we could do is we could run it here and here if we wanted to use our high bandwidth bridge. Or if he's got the SLI bridge. If he's got the box for this. We could just run it here and here, which would have been how it's intended to be run. So we've got to decide, do we want a higher bandwidth SLI connection or do we want a higher bandwidth PCIe? We can try both. We're going to have time. We're going to have an extra monitor. You know, what's up? What's up now? OK, I have one quick housekeeping item to deal with first. Remember, the reason we were looking up that board was we wanted to know if it supported ECC RAM. Why are we going with the ECC RAM? Because I don't think that guy's going to part out his 6 core if we don't at least also take care of that. So if we go with the Xeon instead of the 960, would it make a difference? Yeah, because the 960 is a quad core. But maybe it's clock tighter. You might be right. I don't think so, though. Like, it's a... this is like this is a ball in Xeon. It's... let's see if I can find it. Here, it's a W3670. I think it's like basically top of the line. So we're thinking we found the best price for an SSD that we can find is actually on Amazon. And we can just get free one day shipping anyways. I love watching his face because as we're saying this, he's like running through his head. What he knows the other team is doing is like how quickly he just like... But we're trying to figure out where it gets delivered to him because it's a delivery till as late as 9 o'clock. So, I mean, that's the kind of package that would get left outside, but... and I would feel that the walk... I hope it's still here tomorrow. We would have to make sure we get here before Linus because I could see him screwing... It would be in a package. I don't care. He wouldn't steal it. I know he wouldn't steal it, but I can see him hiding it just to screw with us. So I told this... here's what I told the other guy. I said, damn, I didn't realize my signature showed up. That means I cannot accept your price of $640 or continue the deal right now. The best I can do is hope that I don't find another $1080 for cheaper and offer you the original price of $650, which is allowed via the rules. Yeah. It is secretly written emails and totally cheated in a way of like, dude, just sell to me for like $500. But then I'll just give you the card back at the end of the day. I'd do it too. Whatever it takes to beat Linus. 7-62. Everything's accounted for. Hello. Do you want to close the door? Luke? Oh, no. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Here we go. That's it. I just don't know anybody's password. It's hooked up to the monitor right here. It's going into this computer. And that's where we're taking the drives from. Who do you think that guy Luke just brought in here is? Well, maybe a decoy. I don't know. It would be a very expensive decoy. Yeah. Even if you're paying your decoy, you're like $10 an hour. That's still... We'll see how long it takes for that guy to come down because if he's there for a couple of hours, it's kind of... it doesn't make any sense. Yeah. If he's there to like maybe troubleshoot something. Yeah. Like if he's there just to like demonstrate that something works, that's probably it. He didn't have anything to carry with him. I saw him. I mean, weren't we supposed to... Were we supposed to work? I don't know. I mean, he didn't have shoes on. No socks either. Okay. Therefore. I'm just like bored. Like... We have three hours. No, we have two hours until we leave to pick up our... To walk there. Yeah. What are we going to do in that hour of walking there? I don't know. There's nothing left to do. This is the most done that I've been at like lunchtime on the second day and I can't even sit and eat lunch. Hmm. I... I think... I know what's in there. That's interesting. Okay. He came in empty. He left with a box. And we didn't even need to know that he left with a box. We could hear him say, I'll let you know if there's any issues with anything. They're selling hardware. They're selling hardware. Okay. Okay. Are you on Craigslist right now? Are you trying to find their ads? I went to Craigslist and typed in computer parts for anything that was posted today. To see if they maybe... if we can recognize like their hand in the photo or something. I doubt they'd be that stupid. Oh, they're pretty stupid. Okay. Maybe they'd be that stupid. This is posted at this exact address. Interesting. Okay. But honestly, I think this tells us a lot about what they've got. Because if I were them, so what we know is that they got rid of a drive. And they're trying to get rid of a video card. Okay. So the video card is a GTX 660. So what that tells us is that whatever base system they have is from around that era probably. Right. Because who would put a 660 in like a 7,700 cases if we wouldn't do that? So... Unless this is something they're trying to do to mess with our heads. This is them too! But like, I'm pretty... so they just got 15 bucks selling hardware. Do you think this was it? They just sold? I bet this is it. Look. Either that or they still have more. Okay. Dear Lord. Can we reply and see their number? That's him. That's Luke. That's his phone number? That's his phone number. Why would he put his phone number? What an idiot. Okay. Okay. So this is good. If they don't know that we're onto them, then we can mess with them too. Okay. Okay. So technically Max is with us, but you know, it's just such a gorgeous day for vlogging. It's so beautiful. Yeah. We haven't done any vlogging on day two yet. So basically we got to hike, what, two miles that way. And luckily we're on the same path all the way until we have to turn right. Beautiful. Can't get lost. We got the beautiful leaves. We got the beautiful... yeah, look at this. Look at this. The leaves are changing color. That's a gorgeous day. A gorgeous day to mess with somebody. Azusa is actually a very popular brand. Which bus stop do you want to meet at? We are off Granville. I also have to take the bus, so we need to work out a location. Terrible, terrible impression of Luke. But this is great. He said they also have to take the bus. Why does he think that? No, because he's... I think he's... Does he know it's us? Just in case it's us. I think he's playing the game. It's a double play. It's all in the... it's all the brain games today. Okay. So I'm going to get back to him right away. Like now that we're engaged and we're replying, I'm not going to worry too much about seeming too eager. But you know what we should do? Let's find us a phone so we can do the prank call about their card. Sorry, can I ask you a stupid question? My dumb friend posted something on Craigslist and I want to mess with him. But he'll recognize my number. If I give you my phone to hold, can I borrow yours to call him? It'll take like two minutes. Oh! It was worth a shot. Also, she wanted to stop and pet your dog anyway, so that's where we're at with that. You're a puppy, right? She would have let us use her phone if she had it. Can you do like a higher pitched? If I do a higher pitched... Okay. If I do a higher pitched, then I might kind of sound like a kid. Or maybe it just doesn't sound very good at all. No, you can still tell it's you. Okay, you can still tell it's me. So, Demetri, where do you want to set the trap for Luke? Let's set it up somewhere along the way. Actually, me holding my throat doesn't really do anything. No, it doesn't. You have to hold your nose and talk high like this. Okay. Let's talk together like this. Okay, cool. This guy's awesome. You're awesome. Okay. Hello? Hi, I'm calling about the video card business. Do you think you could come downtown? Yeah, that would be no problem. We could totally come downtown. Okay, great. I can be here right now. It's $50, right? $150. What? Yeah, yeah, sorry. We've got a lot of demands, so the price just keeps going up. You don't buy this at all, do you? If you were actually trying to get me to buy that, that was a very poor attempt. I thought you were just trying to make a joke. Shoot. All right. Well, bye. Bye. $150, a lot of demands. The plan, though, was for him to believe the emails and not to buy the phone call. Yes, so the email is the real thing. Everything is going according to the plan. He totally buys this. Perfect. We're on 15th Street, only one block over. It's definitely them. What time would you be there? So I'm just going to say I've got to grab a bite to eat, and I'll text you when I'm on my way. This is the bus stop he wants to meet at. Oh, what? We are here. Sick, right? What does he want to meet? When he gets off work, I'll just ask him when that is. Originally, he was thinking like 4, so his plan's bailed. It might be sooner. You want to pitch him some PCI, USB 3, a second? And then some Toonies. I'll give you these. Should be around 545. Might be a little bit later. Depends on the food's ready. What? Where is he f***ing eating? Home. Oh my god. He said he was going home to eat. At least the guy with the 1080 is on time. There we go. So that's 550. One more. 650. You got a 50 right here. That's good, right? No. He's at 550. It's 650. One, two, three, four, five. 300. One, two, three, four, five. 400. One, two, three, four, five. 500. So it's 600. 20, 40, 60. We need to break it 20. Do you have a 10? I have. Let me see. Okay, Brandon can break that. So we owe Brandon a 10, right? Do you have two 10s? I'm going to add two 5s. Okay. And then we can just give him a 20. Hold on to that. Cool. So that's yours. You can make a change with that. Okay. Count it again. Sorry. Take all that. Perfect. Okay, great. Alright, so. Alright, thanks. Thank you. I hope it wins. Thank you. Okay, you want to put this in your bag? Will it fit? I don't know if it'll fit, but. We can take it out of the box if we need to. We got one hour to spare. Hey. Dmitry, did you bring the MacBook? No. Did we completely forget to bring a computer? Okay, so no entertainment. We just got each other. Oh, good. We got each other and your incessant demands for water. There was no water again. So thank you, Linus, for that. Oh, hey. You said you were thirsty, right? Yeah. Look, I've got this dry ass bread you made us buy. You want some? I think I will keep it from now on. So when you're hungry tomorrow. Hey, Dmitry, can I have some bread? Can I have some bread, Dmitry? No, I ate it with my gallon of water. I'm going to soak this in the water and eat it in front of you. We got this idea of getting free water from the subway, but asking politely. That guy had water. I think he's coming from the subway and it's free. I'm going to try and get some water from the subway. I think it's free like if you buy something. I can ask. I can still ask. I don't got no cash to pay. Can I have some too? Wow, Dick. Wow, what a dick. Hello. Great, how are you? Is it possible to get just a glass of water? Hey, Linus. No. Not only did you succeed, you actually didn't get me one. I think it's one per person. Wow. I never thought I'd say this, but I wish I had Jay on my team instead of you. I wish I'd gotten Jay. You know, we can share this. Okay. Thank you. Do you wish you had Jay now? I got sparkling water. Sparkling water? Because we fancy, man. We fancy people. This is where we get the bulk of our stuff or like our dreams are dashed. Yeah. Where's his luck? Okay. So here's how it went down. The system is not actually booting right now. Something about a DMI, loading DMI, something. But we got into the BIOS. We could see that the hardware was working. We could see the RAM, we could see the CPU. Although the CPU is running at 89 degrees right now. Yeah, so we got to do something about the thermal compound application on there. Maybe we have to find a different cooler for our budget. We still have a little bit of money. We especially have a little bit of money because he actually knocked $20 off because the power adapter for our monitor. Which we'll have to sell. Wait, do you have the adapter? I have the cable. Okay. Doesn't have a cable for it. So we actually only paid $330 for our setup here. But quick Googling suggests that the error we're getting when we try to boot could be to do with a bad drive. He says he knows the drive is good because he loaded Windows 10 on it on another machine. But it could be an incompatibility. I don't know. So right now I'm pretty nervous, but I'm also pretty hopeful. The good news is we saved $20 because he didn't have a power cable we didn't need. Which means that we could transit back now. Let's transit back. Unless we need a new SSD, then we could save that $20 to buy an SSD. We could buy an SSD for $60, which we have in the budget. Did we ever get a call back? He's willing to pay for... it's 120 GB for $60 if this doesn't work. So you want to bus back? The thing is, it's 5 o'clock. Is it really? Yeah, so we have to bus back. Otherwise we'll hear it from the other team again. You know? Okay. Alright, yeah, let's bus back. Okay. Sh... 17? Right there? No, no, that one. Shoot, I think we're gonna just... Oh, it's 17. 17 as well. Okay, okay, okay. We got time. I can't find our transfers though. Oh no. Wait. There is no 15 here. It was the 17. Are you talking about Willis? Oh. Dang it! We just missed it again. Meanwhile, the other team waits for their Mystery 660 buyer to show up. Little do they know, they're getting totally played. Wait, what? Oh, he's not buying the card. He's just a fan. But we wasted some time trying to go meet a dude. He ended up not showing up, and that kind of burned our hour that we didn't really end up using. That was extra time from Linus being late the other day. So we didn't really end up actually utilizing that time, and we didn't get to sell the card, which sucked. I have suspicions that that was Linus. I mean, it's being a dickhole, but like it's not against the rules. It's probably not them. I'm just freaking out because he's late. This is the first time that like during the competition... Hi. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Hello. Curve? Yes. You bet. And if there's any issues, I live right down the street. So we're practically neighbors. Just text me and you can have your money back. So you're busy. Yes. It's been a full day of Craig's listing. Take care. So in total, we have dual GTX 980 Ti's from EVGA. Really good cards. We have a Gigabyte X58 motherboard, a Core i7-960, six gigabytes of DDR3 RAM, and a 240 gigabyte Samsung 840 or 256. And a 750 watt power supply that will power all of our needs. We are trying to sell the six gigabytes of RAM and we're trying to sell the monitor that came with the PC. And then hopefully once we get the Xeon processor, we can also flip that Intel 960 quickly for like 20 bucks so we can have at least some water money. We're probably going 18 times too deep on this. They were so mad. Like, I'm legitimately glad we didn't pop out of the bushes and they're going to have two months to cool down and Jay will be in a different country when they find out that that was us. I forgot my wallet. I can't make it. This is really embarrassing or something like that. Something kind of genuine sounding. Crap. I'm sorry. I forgot my wallet. I can't make it. This is so embarrassing. I'm pissed. Oh my god. No, no, no, they have no idea. Why? Three minutes ago. That's fine. Want to meet up tomorrow? Can you give me a call to iron it out? We now have $211.87. In total? Wait, yeah, in total. Okay. So if I put in six core plus RAM. Okay, that leaves us with 5417. So we have six gigs of DDR3. But if we sell the monitor. And the monitor. What else do we have? Anything else? And we have a 960 CPU. Right. So we go get the CPU and RAM regardless. So we have the whole day tomorrow to get the Xeons and then figure out how to make the motherboard work. If it doesn't, we buy that ASUS board. Yeah, but we have to sell the monitor. And the extra RAM for $45 total. At this point I would be very not surprised if it was land. God. We have 55 minutes of that hour left. Oh, is that how you think it works? That's how we know it works. It feels like a magazine. Those guys were so mad. Coming back from waiting at the bus stop. And just really hope that we wake up with someone wanting to buy the 660 that's not f***ing with us. So right now we have a Core i7-960. Six gigs of RAM. A gigabyte SLI compatible motherboard. A TX750. 750 watt power supply. A Corsair. 600 case. And we have two GTX 980 Ti's. We have a smoking system. So the plan for tomorrow is to trek all the way out to Coquitlam. An hour and a half each way. Plus it'll probably cost us about $16 in transit. To get a six core processor and double the amount of memory. It's still 615. We still have some Craigslist time. And I heard back from the guy with the Asus P6T. He'll do it for $100. In case our motherboard's dead. In case our motherboard's dead. Do we have enough money still for the Xeon stuff? Let's find out. I actually don't know. Oh crap. No, we have $171 left. So if our board is dead, we can't go get the six core. That means we have to troubleshoot this board in like a few minutes tomorrow morning. And determine if we're buying a new board or the Xeon. Or if we're buying the six core. Personally when I look at the hardware that we have, it doesn't seem super aggressive. We ended up spending a lot of time focusing on trying to sell things. And not aggressively bartering with people. Which I think is going to hurt us. This is a regular phone. This is a gripped phone. This is for comedic effect. So get a grip. Coming soon.
