 It's Scrapyard Wars time again, and it's gonna be a little different. Instead of having two teams competing to see who can build the fastest gaming PC within a given budget, we are gonna have two teams compete to see who can build the best overall gaming setup within a shoestring budget. That's right, gaming tower, monitor, keyboard, mouse, desk, and even chair all have to be purchased for just $600 per contestant. So this is it my friends, 3600 Canadian rupees. Let's get started. And it's brought to you by Honey. Yes my friends, you can save all this money and more with Honey, the free browser extension that helps you save money online. Check it out at joinhoney.com slash scrapyard. They were generous enough to bring you this entire series of videos. So make sure that you guys show them some love down in the comments on their site, install Honey, do some shopping. Did I tell you it's free? It's awesome. Save money for free. Now you might wonder how we determine who has the best overall gaming setup when we can't just benchmark a solution to that. The answer is the tournament we are about to participate in right now. So guys, this is how your team is going to be determined. We're going to split things up as fairly as we can and determine the winner based on the overall gaming performance of the teams versus each other once they've completed their setup. Now a lot of these rules will be familiar if you're a Scrapyard Wars veteran, but there are some new ones. Your system must be composed of a PC, monitor, keyboard, mouse, desk, and chair. A minimum of $300 and a maximum of $800 has to be spent per system. So there's a lot of room for creativity in there. The system must be enclosed. Luke. And not touching the floor. The chair and desk must survive the competition. Luke. Everyone quiet. The games we'll be using to evaluate the skill of our participants are CSGO, Overwatch, and Dirt Rally 2. We can't really ban people from playing these games outside of work hours, but I think gentlemen's agreement, we probably shouldn't be spending every waking moment outside of work playing these games. Any other questions? Are computers assigned to people? So if my computer isn't ready by the game time, can I let someone, can I use someone else's while a weaker player is the one who doesn't have a computer? Realistically, your team won't have a weaker player. Oh my god. It is up to the teams to decide how to allocate computers and peripherals as they see fit. This is the wrong game. I think we're supposed to be playing Siege. Is this a timed game or a... oh god. Come on, why does it keep zooming in? Are we knifeing? What was that, Luke? What the hell was that? Get wrecked, son. Yup. Yup. 99 damage. Let it be known that I've only played this game like twice. That's two more times than me, so... No way, I won? Yeah. Were you in last? Yeah. Shut up. I've never played this game before. Look at you just point and click. What the hell? You can have a turret? I just got monkey punched. You! A turret? No. Luke! Is that you, Colton? God. This f***ing turret. Pop your ult on me? You serious? No, I'm large, but you can shoot other people. God damn. Every team up on Luke. There's four people shooting me. There's only six of us in the game. Stay away from me, Luke! I don't know how to do anything other than fire my primary weapon, so... What? You got me from like way across the map. Our next game is a racing game, and I'm informed it's more of like a simulation style racing game. Uh, don't show anyone this footage. What are you doing, James? Baby Jesus, we're flying. No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no! Oh no, no, no! Oh no! Oh no, no, no! No! I flipped! Oh what? A smash windshield doesn't matter if you're behind the car. Oh my god, that's a lot better Um, I did quite poorly because most in keyboard but uh, okay, i'm i'm guessing it's a w I don't actually know So basically here's how it works depending on how we all performed in the games on equal footing We're going to divide up the teams evenly And then it's basically going to come down to who can build the best gaming setups So csgo was colton luke then me overwatch was jake by a country mile followed closely by luke and me and then everyone else Dirt rally was alex colton then me. So what does it come to then? All right Team team calyx is that what our name is that's too confident. I'm the l Let's call our team just the winning team it's gonna be really embarrassing when you lose Colton's the top scoring player. Wow, am I the team captain? This is a weird turn of events um Why do you flinch when I raise my I don't know what you're gonna do What what was the options kitchen or a writer's area for sure? All right. Nice Yeah, it's like overwatch in 3v3. It's like we got this. Yes. I'm not worried about overwatch at all. He's playing soldier. All right Am I in over here can I start One thing we should figure out as well right now is like minimum and recommended specs for these games like what type what? Where dirt is going to be the problem? I think because the other two games can run on pretty crap-tastic hardware csgo CPU is going to be important. I think we want something it's got to be at least quad core newer than core 2 Two generation because that's gonna hit us hard. It's like a 2600k would be awesome or a 3700k I just found a dining stuff a table and four chairs for 20 bucks. Do we have a vehicle that can take it? That's a good question. Are we allowed to use a work truck? I book it for all times that you're not using it for the rest of the week Okay What res I Think I'm gonna be high on a thing that's recommending us a 1070 that's gonna be rough Well, what if we bought a bunch of pre builds today and then just practiced all week? I don't think that's gonna give us enough of an advantage. I think that's a way better advantage than just having a slightly better computer Well, if this pre-built can't run the game, we're trying to run i5 4460 with it with a GTX 1060 For 430 bucks and could quit them. Lenny's also said That we can play the games outside of work. We can't really ban people from playing these games outside of work hours He just doesn't want us spending every waking minute. Yeah, but I think Gentlemen's agreement. We probably shouldn't be spending every waking moment outside of work playing these games. So idea number one CRTs I'm down for monitors. Yeah, if we can find them cheap, are we able to we can probably find them free These really aren't worth that much can I And I am super desperate For monitor Can I come pick it up for 10? Okay, I'm gonna try and get that CRT for 10 bucks. So here's the listing clearly a CRT monitor Messages back. This is not CRT monitor. It is 17 inch LCD monitor with sound system and TV tuner and video inputs I bought it for $800. I'm sure you googled the specs of this monitor. Sorry, you can't do What by the way, I have a CRT 17 inch monitor. You can have that for $10 Why are you just say that in the first place a huge disappointment for me today was that my idea of going and getting CRT monitors is basically a bad idea the only two I found were 650 and $1,500 because they were like oh like really good ones that all the vintage gamers want like crap That's not what I'm looking for. Another idea I had is one Table for all of us. Well, even the stools I was gonna say I can grab like a chainsaw from home and I can go out And I can get a tree and I can just make some stools out of like a tree. Really? Yeah, I'd be free Where would you find the tree? I gotta go a little further out So one thing about the whole desk thing is that I've got steps Jeep for the next two days I knew it what I wasn't being punished being put on your team I literally woke up this morning and I was like she's like have a good day And I was like I'm taking your Jeep and then she just like wide-eyed me and then I was like have a good day And I left that's literally what happened. Oh this card was used for Dota 2 and got about 80 FPS I have one really bad idea. Yeah one power supply just get one good one power all the computers off of it Okay, that would be a good idea, but getting the splitters for them is hard I was thinking just getting wire I think there's a reason you don't do that Do we want to do $600 per person and try to build balanced systems? I think balanced is the way to go balance is the way to go and like we know like what to spend the money on And what not to we also need to figure out if there's any extra expenses that we're gonna incur So Alex you need a controller, correct? No, I like I won there on the keyboard having a better mouse for The FPS's would probably go a lot. Okay, so we're going better mice Crappy keyboards. Yeah, correct like From a bin is dirt rally too hard to run. It's not super hard like if you Put the settings down on the gutter. It's pretty easy. No, we have to all run the same settings Ed has standardized settings that will be running there pretty high as far as I recall When I was driving here this morning I was like, you know, it'd be pretty sick to have Jake on my team because he's like kind of a jerk about Like getting deals and that would be sick on my team Does Jake will like half offer someone and just not care at all? I'm gonna say for my nephew for Christmas. Yeah, no, not for Christmas birthday birthday too far from Christmas. Okay Oh boy, I'm a terrible human being. Hello. Hey man. I'm calling about the the gaming PC you have for sale on Craigslist You got time to talk right now Sure. Okay. So I just like a couple things basically I'm trying to build a computer for my little brother for his birthday or find a computer for him because you're Really wants to play Minecraft This seemed like it would be good specs for that, but I'm wondering if there's any wiggle room on your price I kind of kind of a bit limited on budget You're talking the mini system or the Acer here? The Acer one Yeah, the Acer, the power supply has been changed and it's for the card, right? Oh it is? It's a new one? It's not a new power supply But it's been changed so that it would support the card, right? Because at $1060 you can't drop that Right, right. It's just kind of a kind of like a no-name brand So it's a 500 Watt that's in there, right? Yeah, I just it's kind of like a no-name brand like, you know, I've never even Well, you know, you gotta get what you pay for, right? Yeah, yeah, exactly You know at that price You can't expect, you know Well, that's what yeah, that's what I mean. I'd like to to replace it with something So like with that in mind, do you think you could do like $350? Because I still got to buy a monitor and keyboard and mouse The best I could do would be $385 $385? Yeah Can we call it $380 and so save me the change? Okay Oh, we're gonna lowball that guy when we go pick this up He'll take $350, 100% One of the things I try to do when I'm buying stuff on Craigslist is spec it out Like on eBay on other prices as individual parts and just you know, kind of throw that at them Like, you know, this doesn't really make sense. But I think he might be pretty close on the money Especially for getting a keyboard and a mouse I'm trying to get or build a computer for my little brother for his birthday So that system without the graphics card? Yes, $220 $220 without the SSD? Yeah Okay That's not bad Is there any advantage for us to spend less than our total amount of money? No So we should spend all of it? Yeah If we can Okay, to recap a bit This guy is selling all these stuff new So we're gonna be paying kind of retail price But he can get us an i5 with 8 gigs of RAM, no SSD We'll have a hard drive at least for only $220 How much do we want to spend on monitors? I'm willing to spend more on monitors I would rather spend less on the... Are you saying you want to do monitors like last? We need a decent mouse and a decent monitor I feel like mouse and monitor are gonna be our late purchases Can we get sh** keyboards? Yeah, we can get sh** keyboards I'll look for sh** keyboards It'll hurt my soul, but... You can change your name? I thought they like don't let you do that I think so, I'm gonna try it Name, literally name, edit, I'm doing it right now My name is now Dennis Potter My profile picture is like some generic cat And then that's fine That's all people are gonna see Like if you message somebody on Facebook Marketplace All that comes up is just a little bubble in the name I mean if they dig into my profile to figure it out But like, it's fine Should I leave my last name? My last name's pretty... Yeah, you should change your last name for sure I have to leave it like this for 60 days? Wait, what? Wait, what did I just do? I just changed mine My mom's gonna send a message in like a day And be like, were you hacked, honey? Oh, that's pretty brutal that I'm gonna be that for 60 days You know what? It's all in the name of winning If there's a worthy cause out there It's winning at any cost Dennis Potter It's Dennis Potter and then that's a little kitty cat I have no idea whose cat that is I gotta change the bio though What do you think of this picture from my bio? It's actually my little brother Okay, I'm sort of the Craigslist king So I'm gonna start on that Yeah, you start on that I have a lot of experience selling things on Facebook Marketplace Okay, this is a very poorly laid out spreadsheet Lay it out then! What do you want? It needs, well, it just needs like... Dumping grounds? Like, yeah, deal, link, description, price Okay, by the way, I'm getting messages from all of my Facebook friends Being like, why are you named Dennis Potter? And my sister just sent me a message and said, oh my god, you got a cute orange kitten Because I stole that picture and put it as my profile picture Nobody's messaged me on Facebook because I don't have any friends I hope Luke forgets about app-based shopping Because that was how Kyle and Paul kicked our asses Like, app marketplaces Like, this is let go Scrapyard Wars is brought to you by Honey The free shopping tool that finds the best promo codes whenever you shop online The best promo codes whenever you shop online at specific sites Those of you who have downloaded Honey from our link have already saved over $100,000 in the past two months Honey works on over 30,000 stores including Amazon, eBay, Newegg, Razer, Best Buy, Walmart, and more And the best part is that Honey is free and installs in just two clicks Honey makes money off their commission from the sites where you shop rather than you So tons of us here at LMG have been using Honey to save money while shopping online Get Honey for free right now at joinhoney.com slash scrapyard What do we even need this? What even is this? I'm using vanpeople.com which looks like this Like, I don't, it's insane I don't know how you're supposed to read any of this Well, I mean, even if you could read the language, it's so messy There's stuff everywhere I Google translated it That makes it more manageable, but there's still stuff everywhere It's incredibly difficult to navigate this website But I don't think Linus and the other guys are going to be looking on here And I have so far found Samsung 22-inch widescreen LCD HD display, 50 bucks This website's amazing Right next to a $5 keyboard, there's a G-Wagon It's just like, whatever Thanks for the email, dude That was my 10 and 60 Why did you tell me? Damn it Okay, but we could buy it for listed What's your listed price? Oh, f*** that, no Would you have taken 150 bucks from a stranger? Low fuel Sorry? Oh no, no clothes I didn't even get to like shake that guy's hand or anything at the end I think these tables and chairs need a wipe down, but they'll do I'm pretty sure that the other team is just going to get the same kind of stuff They're going to probably just get kitchen tables or maybe Like the best thing they're going to get is like a very cheap Like cheap office furniture that they get from a blowout sale somewhere Which by the way, I have a lead on in Vancouver But other than that, they're going to have crappy stuff too So I don't really care if they see our stuff There is an office in Coquitlam that's getting rid of all of their like Tables, chairs, filing cabinets and stuff like that The posting was done like just over an hour ago So I don't think the other teams had enough time to actually jump on it as fast as we were able to Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa What? No way Our team captain is killing it He found free chairs and desks already Meanwhile, Alex and I have not secured a single deal I've got a pretty I have a deal You've secured a deal? Yeah, there's the 470 and a motherboard that I'm getting tomorrow Oh, that's a done deal Oh, okay. Never mind Well, I haven't secured a single deal Oh dude, we are in business baby All right, so we just rolled up and they have lots of stuff So we're going to have to go through it My only problem is the same thing as before I don't think we're going to be able to fit as much stuff as I'd like in this thing Probably should have taken the work truck in hindsight, but like it's fine We'll be able to get enough All we need is a tabletop really This place reeks like marijuana It's all I smell Yeah You smell that? Actually, this could even work potentially How's it going? We're filming here We have a YouTube channel called Linus Tech Tips And we're doing like Oh wow We're doing like a competition to build like Gaming setups and we're trying to do it like thrifty style kind of thing I'd love to help you I'd love to help you Really? That's hilarious I watch it all the time Do you see that? Yeah I love Linus Tech Tips I'm just in the home like just freaking out That's so funny They're like wow, it's the crew Oh, thank you Are you the one actually I'm one of the employees helping put the whole thing down right now The company closed Oh, closed? Oh, you get it So I just wrote and like the manager's out there so I'm just handing everything out Yeah And we need some of this stuff to go Fair enough, we'll try to take as much as we possibly can This is one of the world's most expensive Yup Don't touch it Okay, got it, don't touch any of that stuff Glad we didn't have to pay for anything because we broke the rule Okay, we're going to take this one These desks here are like a big alley This is one side and then this side here comes out the other side Perfect I don't know if you guys see this in the corner room or whatever But because of the brackets and the way it's down, it's made of mindset You have the stuff out, oil on top We do You can really just shape that Using the brackets and the custom desks Can you make yourself like an owner Fantastic Okay, cool Yeah, we're going to do that then That's what we're going to do Last question for you Do you have any keyboards at all Okay, this Totally fine If not This keyboard Yup We should have one in the throttle because there's no wireless on it Oh yeah, interesting What the heck Yeah, I don't know exactly Right I don't know if this is the VGA with the But I'm imagining that maybe this is the signal Yeah But I'm unsure if this is the VGA If that would have a wireless on it I wonder if we have any Honestly, I think we might have wireless dongle I mean, if you don't need it I would say here you go We'll just take it Thank you so much Yeah Sweet Thank you so much I think now we should kind of get back to the office or maybe check Facebook again Maybe we should check Facebook again one more time before heading back to the office What else we got I can potentially get an R9 280 3GB for 80 bucks in Burnaby today Is that even a good deal though Here's a 3.4 GHz quad core with 8 gigs of RAM and a 1050 Ti It's ready to rock For 345 bucks, that's really not bad And then we just have a computer Yeah I'm really worried about peripherals Wait Which one did I just message Did I just message the wrong person I think my message was still relevant No, I said 6 core workstation right in the title And he had the Oh my god, I signed it Deltaserverstore.com Who I have never heard of Seems to be a server and workstation refurbisher Who presumably is based in Delta Oh, Delta Ontario RIP Thanks Kijiji So this guy said he can drive it to me tonight but I just can't Should I just tell him that I work during the night Just say look, you know, when I get home from work my girlfriend just attacks me Yeah, it's just a smashathon all evening Sorry I can't Computer stuff is a total turn off for her Story checks out I just like spanned a bunch of people on Facebook Marketplace I got three responses right away One of them is agreed to put the chair outside their place in Langley at I think 5pm And the other two I'm waiting to hear back on if I can just grab it right now But they did say it's available so they should be able to get back to me pretty quick Easy when it's free stuff because you're just like thanks They're like thanks and then you leave One of the wheels is missing on the bottom I just realized So that's going to be kind of a problem but like it should be fine because the other like six wheels are there I'm just kind of calling around to some computer stores to see if any but if they have anything that they're about to throw out That might not be of any value to you guys but might you know work as a case or something like that Unfortunately we just had our recycling guys pick the bulls Damn Xeon for 250 I thought you're doing a 26 Well there's two so I have the one that doesn't have a graphics card with a 2600K for 200 bucks And then this one is a Xeon and an RX 470 People aren't going to want to buy this one either because it has a Xeon People are going to be like well that's spooky server stuff but that's actually a really solid CPU Is that Xeon too low end? Would we have to upgrade that? It's a 1270v3 it's like really solid Jake's got lines on two desktops that look like really good ideas And I'm trying to figure out the third monitor but the best option I have for that The person definitely only speaks Chinese so I'm going to wait for Andy to come back and hopefully Andy can give him a call He just replied me and he's saying that the monitor I own is like full HD And the keyboard is brand new and I can do two for like 50 Ok that's still a good deal so that's cool Hi I was wondering if the monitor that you had listed is still available, the LG monitor Yeah I've still got it man Ok would I be able to pick it up tomorrow by any chance? Yep Ok awesome, can you do 35 bucks? Yeah I can do 35 Ok cool Ok so Luke just sent me on another mission, we're going to go get a monitor from the first guy And then at the second stop we're going to get another monitor, two keyboards and a mouse And hopefully we'll make it back here by the end of the day So how that kind of sets us up is we have one full tower that's done We're going to be having one tower that's great except it's missing a graphics card We have one tower that's a giant question mark right now So we need like a GPU and one more tower, that's not that bad especially it's still the first day I didn't even try to negotiate the guy down, he had a whole room full of computers and laptops And mining rigs and stuff so clearly he's buying and reselling It's actually just like a straight Acer pre-built that you would get from a business wholesale auction With a graphics card slapped in there, better power supply But hopefully she should be good enough Okay so it sounds like Jake's pretty well set up to be honest I didn't realize that he had already lined up another 1060 for the second system So that effectively means our first two systems are completely done Okay quick question for you Jake found the last computer, the guy offered it to him it was 450 bucks But I had budgeted $400 per tower and we had spent $340 on one of them and $380 on the other So we had saved $80 total already and then that tower was $50 over So we still ended up saving $30 in total on all of the towers Hope I don't spend too much time f***ing around Hey man what's up Nice to meet you James you said it was? Did I say that? I came up on your phone I said Luke actually because the friend who called you earlier was me, it was my friend Luke Are you sure? Thank you so much Take care Thanks You guys parked on the road? Yeah we definitely parked illegally My only concern during the monitor test I wanted to make sure that it indeed was HD I wanted to see that it was running at 60Hz It does look pretty smeary but it's not like broken smeary I was just moving some windows around to make sure that it wasn't like a total sandbox But it doesn't look great for the price it's good enough I think I won big on the teammates They're both hungry, you know, they want to win We do have the best gamer out of the group apparently We're gonna win I think we're gonna win My biggest concern, honestly speaking, is me this time around Because I held my own in CSGO But Overwatch, I have no idea what I'm doing And Dirt Rally, even though I did put up a pretty good time That was my second run guys, I didn't even finish the first time I am sweating so hard right now I'm stressed out Honestly my biggest concern right now is that I'm extremely relaxed And this is probably the first time on a day one of a Scrapyard Wars I've been relaxed I think we have too much money I think that's what's going on I need to figure out monitors Okay, I also need a CPU cooler Make sure it's socket compatible 5 inches tall You know when your spec is 5 inches tall You're gonna have no idea what we're asking when we want to know what socket it fits on Here's three monitors for $190 in the NIMO Fly there, fly there, fly there So I'm blown away that cheap monitors are so hard to find Like you can get a cheap TV easier than a monitor it feels like But I came up with one idea here Searching for a specific brand seems to yield more usable results I put in any C monitor Now I'm- 20 bucks, 20 bucks, 20 bucks Okay, so we just need to search for like old brands Here's a 1080p one for 20 bucks, Acer Not bad, does it have a stand or- It does not have a stand It does not have a stand, that should be fine Yeah, we can just prop it up VGA only, watch out for that But are we- I guess that depends on if we have VGA, we probably won't I mean we could make this work We're allowed to steal screws from the workshop And as long as we have a piece of 2x4 to screw into our table And some screws to like friggin- Yeah, it should be fine Some tape Yeah, I wouldn't mind our team's that monitor Just to make sure it doesn't have like 80 milliseconds of input lag or something stupid like that Yeah, we can check that out So Tony, the guy with the computer that we thought was a pretty good deal but actually maybe isn't a great deal But also who had all the peripherals and stuff He's about 10 minutes from here Do you want to show- I don't think I can show up there because I had my name on my profile at first when I was messaging him But do you want to go check it out? Uh, sure Okay And so what exactly have you negotiated here? Also Colton's saying that the free office chairs look rank as f*** That's fine Yeah Who cares? I'm okay with ranked chairs, you're saying Walmart has some free chairs? No, no, no, no, no, no, no Rank chairs will hose down And also I need like the whole DL on like Buddy who I'm going to see because it seems like you had quite a saga there Yeah, I'll send that over to you So we're going for basic keyboards, monitor, and headsets maybe Yeah I'll just go take a look Buddy with the 6 core workstation for 160 has a pending sale F*** the other guys Yeah The good news is that this CPU is really slow So... What was the GPU in that one? Uh, basically unusable, they'd be replacing it, it's like an FX something, like a quadro FX, nah Yeah, that's like... But this thing is upgradable Like it's... it's usable So that's good for us to know Are you searching monitor or screen? I could try screen Computer screen You have craigslisted before I feel like I need to wear crappier clothing tomorrow Like I'm showing up in a sports car wearing basically like young professional clothing And I'm going to lowball f***ing this guy, like it's not going to add up Hello Tony Nice to meet you Come on in Don't worry about your shoes, we're heading down to the man cave How much is it for this guy? Uh, well I know when I talked with him before we were trying to do a full computer and stuff so Yeah, I found another one so Yeah, no worries Um, I was thinking we do 15 bucks a set for all three per set So it would be 45 for three keyboards, mouse and headset So I only need one mouse really Oh, okay, okay, fair enough So if we're looking at like this keyboard, this one Yep Um You need the headsets or no? Ideally, yes Okay Just don't want to spend too much on them because you can get cheap ones Yeah, I agree They're pretty cheap I don't need all of these mice, I only need one You only need one? Yeah Okay, well, let's say we'll go 40 bucks then The guy immediately recognized me so I couldn't really do any like lowballing or stuff But I did get three keyboards, three headsets, two mice and an Intel stock cooler so You've like actually got like kind of decent usable looking shiz in here Yeah Hey, I contributed to the team today, I got a lead Okay, so how much did you pay for all this? 40 bucks Alex came back with a bin of peripherals, the guy did recognize him But he only bought what we had already negotiated in our messages So we should be in good shape there, we are set on headsets, keyboards And we've actually got a mouse that he forgot to take and he's on his way back there to go get Hey Sorry Ah, the mouse I didn't notice it myself and I went back down there and saw it and was like At least it's not too far away Well, thank you No worries Alright, got the mouse, you know, mild blow to the pride Honestly speaking, I felt kind of useless today I'm a little foggy from getting over a cold and I probably could have handled keeping track of all my different line items and my budget for one system But three systems I was just finding kind of overwhelming Towards the end of the day, I managed to get something down on paper and the budget is looking like it could sort of be balanced But other than Colton's desks and chairs, like we didn't really get anything today Actually, no, that's not true. We did get our headsets and keyboards You guys ready to see your new tables and chairs? Yeah Are they that bad? Wait, what? Dude, they got like a patio set I mean, that's one way to do it They're not going to be able to fit all of their systems on that. Look at that thing
