 We wanted to thank you, Ed, for joining our criminal group, our cabal, or I don't know what that's called. Sorry if you were incriminated, but we appreciate you risking everything to go and get us another drive. You did get one that was still IDE. We still appreciate that, though. Somehow it still had the same issue, and we had three drives that didn't work. So I guess all that is to say, for any of you at home, we did what we did because we had no other choice. I was able to delete the volumes, and then I just told it to do a quick format. Mid-format, suddenly it just disappeared. It said the format failed. It's just gone. I think it might be the adapter. It's an old adapter. Whoa! The drive Edsel stole isn't working, so Paul and Kyle send Edsel to get them another drive. But this time, they get caught red-handed. What's this? What's going on? Are you stealing hard drives for them? Ed is stealing hard drives for them. What is this, Ed? Ed, what are you— What is this? What do you got going on over there? Yeah, I don't really know how it all turned around, but basically we just figured, well, we want to put something out there. We want to get a system that we can compete with. So if what we have to do is resort to a bit of skullduggery, then that's what we'll do. Looks like these boys will do anything to win. But if they're going to use this external hard drive from Paul's personal stash, they're going to have to cover their tracks. Put it right there? Yep. They'll never know. Feed it out the back? What do you think? You're talking about blatant cheating now. Yeah. Well, how are you going to feed it out the back with the side panel on? I'm going to bend out one of these, and I bet I can fit that through there. Maybe. I can just set it in the bottom. There you go. Is there any other—? I mean, at this point, we're screwed anyway, so it's just a matter of either trying to get away with something or— You don't want to try to adapt that— You have some Velcro that we can sort of stabilize the drive with? I can tape it down with gaff tape. I'm liking how this is coming along so far. I think once the side panels are on, everything will sort of come together and it'll at least be eye-catching. Do we have an optical drive screw? Here's one. Awesome. Okay. What needs to be done? Okay. I still need to mount a hard drive. The front needs to go on. The front needs to go on. Oh, hold on. Not yet. No, the front doesn't go on. The front can go on very soon. If you tighten these screws, the front can go on. Got it. Then we're good. Is this a hard drive, bae? What is this? It can be whatever you want it to be, Ponyboy. You want me to run this first? Yes. That was the plan. I can't really see. Oh, God. I don't know if the GPU is going to fit anymore with that hard drive now. Can we just drill some holes now at the bottom? It might. It might. We can just go on the bottom. Just wait. What now? Well, okay. It has to come out for now. That much is clear. Can we just drill some holes and mount it on the bottom? We can. Super easy. We can, but... And not actually a bad thing. But the power won't reach. Because of your optical drive. Just unplug the optical drive. No, I'm not unplugging it. Just wait, okay? Hold on. Just hold on. Just let me get... What is this? Oh, no. This is fine. This is good. This is fine. These stupid things. Can we just pull this off? No, I don't think we have time to remove it. So hard to line up. Now I just have to make sure that I don't push down... That went in, didn't it? Yeah. Okay. Good. Okay. Okay. Fine. New plan for the hard drive, then. You gotta unplug the optical drive. Hold on. Gotta lay on the bottom. Hold on. You think it's gonna reach? Maybe. I'm actually, like, sad that it reaches. Good. Okay. This drill bit for screws? Was this what you used? I love your sadness. Was that what you used? Hold on. I'm relishing the sadness right now. Okay. Like, you're slowing us down. Hold on. Which one? This one. Yeah, that's the one I used. But hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Let me actually check the spot first. Some of us think before we do things, okay? Some of us get things done. Some of us can do both. It wouldn't be so late if it wasn't for your hard drive. We wouldn't be so late if it wasn't for... you. Well, I can pull this tab out. No, no, no. See, it doesn't help. It's, um, it's the... I hit the radiator. Okay. So, yeah, we could go there. That's brutal. Or you could just... I can't do my optical drive, though. This table, I can't even find things. Where the hell did the scissors go? And I know they're, like, right under my nose. You know they're, like, right... Did you take the scissors? No. I'm blind. I'm going crazy. Going crazy. This is that time of day. Yep. Where the hell did the scissors go? All that, uh, taping sort of worked up an appetite. It's not a bribe. Just something for him to... You spelled his name wrong. What? Oh, I did. Look, we've been working hard, retired, just trying to get this bribe... I mean, it's just... Look, there's Svaj. Svaj for him. Svaj came from England. Brum and everything. Oh, it's finished. I really don't have time. What if I use this, put the hard drive on top of this, put that in the bottom? That could work. Okay. That could work. And I present to you your hard drive stand that's screwed in hard drive. Okay. I don't know how to fix that down. We need more screws, I guess, and more drilling. More screws, more drilling. Or we tape the crap out of it. We have no tape. We don't have any tape that would be useful for... No, no way. It's a hard drive. We can't... We actually cannot half-ass the mount. Uh... Okay. So if it went on like that... It would sit. You can even flip it over to give yourself a little bit more height. Like that. That's true. Like that. I don't think we could have gotten these holes any more perfect if we'd actually measured them properly. I can tighten those more. Yeah. Move on. Move on. Here, here, here, here. Maybe get it turned on or something. It'll hold. No, I gotta screw it in. I gotta plug it in first anyway, so we need a minute. Double checking everything. 24-pin connector is good. Front panel connector is all good. Just pull that out and hit it. Punch it, Chewie. There it is. I want to see it in windows before I breathe that deep. We have half an hour. What the... Oh, it's... Yeah! Whoa! Brilliant! Oh, my God. Could it cover the gash and the... No, not quite. Two. Two. We don't have my kit anymore. I lost my kit. Yeah, we have Brandon's. Steal Brandon's kit. I mean, if there was a judging category for creative use of sponsor product... Hey, not bad. You know what? These holes down here don't look bad at all. Okay, Cinebench is done. I'm pulling up RealBench. Okay, so if we were to just wrap it... You'd never be able to even open it. Yeah, and? Like, what if we just... What if we just wrapped it in RGB? I was kind of thinking even just, like, the top. I don't know if we're going to be able to make those kinds of... Yeah, no, there's no way. Yeah. Oh, hi. Hey, guys. So if we're done with our benchmarks, do we have, like, enough time to just rerun them now, or do we only get one run? What settings did you guys use exactly? The ones that were agreed upon at the beginning of the... All the good ones. Did you, like, screenshot the GTA settings, or, like... Yeah, we can. Can you send us screenshots with all the settings you used? Okay, sure. GTA? We're starting with Tomb Raider, so for Tomb Raider we have it set to very high FXAA. Okay, very high FXAA, and is there a dead cutoff time for when benchmarks have to cease? Five. Five. Five? Yeah. So then five-ish. Okay. Got it. Cool. Thanks. Can you send me those, like, immediately? We gotta run Rise of the Tomb Raider now. Yeah, I'll send GTA. So, yeah, we're all... Like, Paul and I are full of... We're actually still transferring the games to the internal... Or internal hard drive, which should take another five, ten minutes. It's about three, four... No, it's four-forty. Honestly, I gotta say, I'm surprised that they've got their benchmarks run and are asking for 50,000. Especially because they apparently... Well, Ed probably stole a hard drive. So you think their hard drive is, like, not working? Well, their hard drive isn't working, and then we gave them ours. And we know that would have taken a long time. Which would have taken a while to get out of there, and then you have to get all the games on it, and then you have to install them. So they're not running off that drive. Yeah. Sh**. Mean... Bad people. Mean people. Yeah. Ow. Oh. Well, there's this gap in the side of it now. From you punching it? No! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! We need to hear back from them. Can you go follow up with them? Like, yo, we really... We have to get the benchmarks right. More than anything. We need to know what settings you guys are using. Because, like, we have to rerun them. If they're wrong. So... What did you do for ashes? Hey, guys? Yeah? What did you do for ashes? So you haven't ran it yet? We're probably gonna have to do standard. Because have you tried the harder ones? They're, like, insane. OK, cool. Standard DX11. So do you want us sending you guys settings? Like, are you guys b******g us, and you haven't actually run anything yet? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pfft. Pretty sure that's what that was. I'm pretty sure that's what that was, too. OK, so should we just, like... Should we just take the backing off and, like, yolo this? I don't think there's any other option. Especially because you have to do five meters. It's gonna, like, take a while. Yeah, we have to go around this thing, like, five times. Yeah. Well, I was hoping to kind of do... Here, can you... Can you hold it up? Yes, but I'm gonna have to stop every once in a while when, like, this finally f****** boots or something? That takes a bit. This is so stupid. This is not gonna win us the best. Like, I feel bad even taking valuable time out of our celebrity judges' day to look at this. But I had imagined my head was, like, tight all the way across. It's not even lit yet. It gets worse, man. Oh, God. Okay, hold on. Just hold on. This might be the best place to start. Where's the other end? Where's the controller box? It's taped to the bottom. Cool. Controller box. Controller box, okay. I sorta wish we just got flowers. Even if we just, like, walked up and handed them to Jay. Okay. You ready? Okay. What if you do here? Honestly, I don't think we have time. We actually have seven minutes to have benchmarking finished. I... You could do around the base under the HP logo, right here, with tighter bars. I am resigned to this. Why? We still have multiple games to run. We... So, basically, what happened was the hard... I don't want the whole explanation, because there will be plenty of time for that. We are just... We're just now starting benchmarks. You're just now starting benchmarks? Yeah. Okay. Well, that's not too bad. We're not too bad. I mean, we have a functional system and all that kind of stuff. Okay. I'm not gonna dance for you, okay? Kyle will dance. So, are they, like... They're starting benchmarking now. Starting benchmarking now. Okay. So, this is very interesting. We basically can decide now, because we agreed that over one hour of benchmarking, you got 10% of your score deducted per 10 minutes. It is 5.07. There's the ish. We're done benchmarking now, right? We have one more game. Oh, we still have one more game. Can we finish it in three minutes? I think we get to decide when the ish is, but yeah. Ten minutes can be an ish. We also didn't start benchmarking until 4.30. I don't care. But I mean that's not an hour of benchmarking. I think the big thing to do, given that they're just starting their benchmarking now, rather than deduct 30%, I think the big thing is to go in confident and tell them, look, you can have all the time you need. I kind of want to destroy their hopes and dreams. No, no, no. We'll destroy their hopes and dreams later. We said five ish, and we had also said when we laid out the rules at the beginning that every ten minutes over the deadline was minus 10%, I believe, to your score. That's correct. We did say that. So Luke and I have discussed this, and we've decided that we are so confident that we want to go up against your guys' full score. OK. That's quite noble of you. That's how we feel. Well, we appreciate that for sure. It's all part of it. Yeah. But OK, well, that's good to know. Green and blue. Do you think, really? You can't use those. Those are mine. Wow. Colored Sharpies? OK. We're just going to go back to our garage where things are sane. Wow. That's a good idea. Where the world makes any sense, and we're going to kind of pack up and get ready to head over to the celebrity judges. OK. Wow. Wow. I feel even better. That was a real pick-me-up, you know? That might legitimately be better than colored Sharpies. That's awesome. Apparently, they're under the impression now that we've colored our system with Sharpies. I think it's much, much nicer. Sharpies. I think they might have just jumped the gun a bit. It's pretty bad. But it might be better than colored Sharpies. What? That better not be the whole argument. I would imagine they did more than that. But if they did any more than that, then 10% won't help them. So, like, we actually helped them a lot. I think it's going to take them, like, half an hour to actually run all their benchmarks. So that's literally 30% right there. And then we gave them a hard drive. They wouldn't have been able to do it. You did say maximum 30% for overtime, but they'd have to, like, go buy a hard drive. They probably didn't have any money for it. Yeah, that's true. No, I guess we said they'd get money back for failed components. But it would have taken them until, like, late tonight. Do you think they dropped it? Wouldn't it be ironic to lose scrapyard wars against me because you dropped something? You dropped something. I think it's a good thing. I think it's ironic to lose scrapyard wars against me because you dropped something. You dropped something. Oh, no. There was so much promise in our builds. Oh, no. So I just got done doing the backside panel upside down. I think I'm going to go shoot myself. Legitimately. Paul, do you have a gun? No. I do not. I have not purchased a gun. I think Jay has a sense of humor. Here's what we'll do. We'll have the system facing this way, right? So he'll come in this way. And then we'll flip the whole system. No, and then we'll be like, Jay, look at the back, like this. Look over there. Yeah, totally natural. And then it's right side out. We designed it that way. I think just take it off. Take it off? And flip it over. You can peel it off. Yeah, that's all you have to do. I guess I could. All right. I mean, I got to run all these benchmarks. Sure, sure, sure. Let me just double check. OK. I'm assuming if we leave the side panel after in the benchmarks, we'll be OK. Oh, my god. Oh, it's going to be such an ordeal. OK. I don't know, man. OK, yeah, I have to do it. There's no choice. I literally have no choice. This is the biggest derp. This goes beyond derp. Edsel can't even hold the camera steady. This is bad. This is so bad. Oh, my gosh. OK. So I have just finished reorienting all the letters for our side panel here. And it actually looks pretty good. You wouldn't even notice that something went horribly wrong. I still have to kind of trim out some of the tape here on the tops just to give it a little bit more spacing, some more headroom. But for the most part, I think Jay is still going to enjoy this. And let's just, you know, let's hope that he prefers to be on the bottom than the top. So when Luke and Linus came out and agreed to drop the time penalty for me and Paul because we were taking so long, I was super relieved, obviously, because I was like, there's no way we're going to win this contest if we're getting penalized 30% on our score for taking half an hour longer than we should. It gave me more time to actually focus on the RGB elements of the case. I was able to trick it out of it more and put some more thought and effort into the whole design of just taping it like crazy and making it look really nice, which was like, OK, if we can at least win the RGB theme portion and win the 10% modifier to that, that's still going to outperform what they were able to do with the overclock. So overall, I felt pretty good about it. I do already feel drawn to this one a little bit. I mean, I've got to say I'm a little partial to this. OK, so I had absolutely no idea what to expect going into this. I wasn't even really told of a theme other than RGB and Scrapyard Wars with RGB already seemed kind of a stretch. The cool thing is I honestly can't even begin to guess which team made what. Well, the one on the right, I kind of this reminds me of Legos, which is already kind of kind of a throwback. I do like the message. The message is true. The case also is a bit of a throwback. I like the floppy. I do wish it was glowing, though. But then again, RGB just is red, green, blue, right? Doesn't have to be lighting necessarily. Got an Intel box on the front right here. I'm assuming this is some sort of an advertisement potentially of what's inside. Not too sure what this is. Yeah, this seems like something Kyle would do. I'm just saying. I mean, I feel like I'm lying. My instincts are lying to me because I'm trying to guess who would have created what. But I do. I don't see Linus approving this, to be honest. So I'm a little conflicted. I do like the glowing theme over here. This one has a lot more labor involved. That's for sure. So I do wish that this had actual lighting in it, but I feel like there was a bit more attention to detail on this one here. I do feel like this one's lacking a little bit of glow, though. Wow. So we can't say... Wow, that's going to... What? Is that ADI? That is such... Oh my goodness. I see the... I like that response. All right. Okay, let's take a look at theirs. It's colored electrical. So they actually got... I think it was because yellow was in it. Yellow is not red, green, or blue. Neither is white. It is a combination. Neither is white. Neither is silver. They are byproducts of those colors. Neither are these different colors other than RGB that your LEDs are turning. Yours looks like it's in bondage. It has a long strip right there. It has a long strip, yeah. Also requires external power. That is... That makes sense. I love plugging it into my computer. That is quite an interesting video card you guys have got yourselves. I can't actually look into your system. I'd be great if it had a window or something. I like appreciating the hardware, getting a good look at it. But I guess just blinding lights. Now, I want to say that I accurately guessed whose computers was who based on my comments. Because it all came down to this. I said Linus would have never approved this. Jay, just a quick distraction. I mean, not that... You were supposed to wait till after me. I'm sorry. Wow. Nothing to do with the actual competition. I also... There's a couple of things I thought to myself too. I'm like, this seemed like a Linus tactic. I think I said that. But then I went, did Linus really bring these boxes down with him? I don't think so. So, I don't know where the boxes came from. But I just know for a fact this message would not have been approved by the boss. Okay, okay. Alright, alright, alright. Okay, so... Let's put up or shut up here. You guys got your scores ready? I should. Cinebench. Cinebench. 671. You are joking. Are you serious? 672. Oh, no way. But with the weighted scores, that's pretty much correct. Well, I'm going to venture to say it doesn't have a 3960X in it. It probably does not have a 3960X. The RG... The RG... Okay, I'm just... Wow. Okay. They might have the same... Real Bench, why don't you guys go first on this one? Okay. 93,783. 89,346. Ooh. You want to go Ashes first? Uh, sure. We had 55.6 Ashes. Oh, my God! Okay. 54.1. 54.1. Ooh. When the first gaming result came in, I was devastated. Absolutely devastated. How could they possibly have a GTX 980 Ti? How could they possibly have gotten that and the processor they did? Possibly. They probably should have taken the 30% down from their thing. We're actually going to win. I mean, that first score that was read off when we beat their Cinebench score by one point, I was like, that's good. And then when we started to get to the gaming benchmarks in particular, I mean, if one gaming benchmark you win on, you're probably going to do well on the others, so obviously. Rise of the Tomb Raider. Rise of the Tomb Raider. Why don't you guys want to go first this time? Sure. Okay. 109.8. Say again? 109.8. I, okay, so I tested, yes, it's true, I tested Rise of the Tomb Raider myself. However, I had just taken over for Paul. He'd been running benchmarks of Rise of the Tomb Raider for the last half hour or so. And I just hopped on and was like, okay, is this good to go? And he just said, it's good to go. Just go ahead and click run. Just leave it as is. Well, that's obviously not a good score then. No. We had 59.92. 59.92, so I... Make it stable. 59.92 with Vsync on? I don't know, Kyle ran that one. You told me to just run it at default. Whatever it was, you just said you had been running it all day. Seriously? And I was like, what do I do? You're like, just run it as is. The Rise of the Tomb Raider score clearly had Vsync on. It was only 60 frames per second. We didn't have time to check, to catch that. And then went right back the other direction. And we're going to have to hand it right back to Luke and Linus because with the weighted scores, that single Rise of the Tomb Raider score dragged us down so far that suddenly they were beating us. You said just run it as is. Oh, okay. All right. That sounds like Vsync. Oh, boy. This could be interesting. GTA V? Get us some GTA V. What do you got? We have 117 frames per second. Yeah, we're 101.99. Probably not a 9. For Honor? For Honor, 130.18. 123.75. We still don't know the average score, so we actually have to truly punch this. That Rise of the Tomb Raider score could really hurt us because everything else is really close. It defaults to Vsync on every time I install it. I have no idea. 59.92. I know. Oh, god damn. Yeah, we're screwed. Oh, god damn. I don't know. I don't know you guys. Let's just, okay, so hold on a second. Hold on a second. Okay. That's going to crush us. We spent a while trying to figure out how to do it. Team Imba, 574.65. Team RGBeast, 554.6. Oh. Obviously, disappointment from our side. Well, we know it's not done. We have the RGB factor. We have the RGB factor. I think we have to know the RGB factor. Jay? Okay. Before I continue, I love everybody in this room. I feel like this is going to be a lengthy controversy. Yeah. I gave it to RGBeast because this just was a, this was phoned in. This was like, this was an effort. It was the labor that went into the taping of this that sold it. So RGBeast comes away with 610 points, and Team Imba comes away with 574.6. Yes! All right. Didn't someone say that home field advantage wouldn't matter in this one? I think that was stated a few times. That was really good. That was like back and forth. So I think we have to be the big men here and present them with their trophies. Check it out, you guys. You officially won Scrapyard Wars Season 5. I'm very proud. Thank you. And the guy on the top is ripping open his rib cage or something. We're really not sure what the deal is with that. He has like the alien seed in there that's trying to escape. He's showing us his insides. Yeah. Well, I'm very honored. Did you guys read it? Scrapyard Wars Season 5 winner, you played hard and you're awesome. Get it. And our awesome, our hard war is awesome. Did you guys plan that or? Yeah. Yeah, of course. Well done. Well, thank you. Thank you both. I'm glad we didn't skimp and just bail on the winner trophies. Yeah. I'm not glad we gave them the 30%. So thank you guys for watching Scrapyard Wars Season 5. Huge thank you to Paul and Kyle for giving us their scoops. They're space for three days for competing hard. And I'm not going to thank them for winning. But thank you guys. Thank you guys. Huge shout out to our celebrity judge who ultimately dealt us a defeat, but I'll shake his hand anyway. I swear I didn't know going into this. Thank you guys for watching and being part of it. And we'll see you again next time. Thanks to iFixit and FreshBooks for sponsoring this season of Scrapyard Wars. Start your 30 day free trial of FreshBooks over at freshbooks.com forward slash scrapyard wars. And use coupon code wars to get $5 off any purchase of $10 or more over at iFixit.com forward slash Linus. Yeah, we paid 15 bucks. How much did you guys pay for your SSD? Is this an external drive? This isn't even the one we gave you. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a minute now. When you gave us. Hold on a minute now. Are you guys using hardware that you didn't buy? Well, technically. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. The hard drive that we did buy was defective. Explain that drive. Well, we had. It is all black tape so we won't play when we see it. It has to be enclosed in there somehow. So it doesn't move. Yeah, exactly. So that's what you stole. No, that's not what he stole. Where did it come from? It came from the hard drive manufacturers. We went through three hard drives, including the one you gave us and none of them. None of them. I think you should go get the other ones. Is that. Is the system on? The system is off. Do we continue to. Maybe we can revisit this. We already shot the extra. Oh, that's the magic of video editing, my friends. It has come to my attention. That team are G beast in the RG beast only has. Wait a minute. There is a. They have three drives. No, there's only two. As do we. We have an optical drive and SSD and a hard drive. Oh. They have an SSD and a floppy drive and a hard drive. But their hard drive, which was very cleverly concealed here, boys. Their hard drive was not actually obtained with scrap yard wars money. So hold on to these for a minute, because I would like to ceremoniously. Take them back. And declare victory. For teen. Can I, can I just say that I don't want to be associated with the. And that I do not endorse this tower as it sits. Magnetic. Yeah, it is magnetic. So I'd like you guys to read out your new trophies here. Okay. It says scrap yard war season five loser. You lost, but at least you got to be on the show. My eyesight is not working right now. So thank you to everyone. Thank you to Jay, our special celebrity judge for helping us out staying so late after these guys so inconsiderately kept you stuck here hours after. I changed my vote. Loves to go home. Thank you to Luke for being my just fantastic partner. Thank you to our camera people. You guys were you guys were awesome. Thank you camera people. Awesome. Fantastic. Thank you to our audience for watching. And I think that pretty much wraps up the thank yous. You guys can go. From Jay. Okay. No. Who was it? Who which of you was it? How could I have had time to do that when I was so clearly doing all of this? Oh, this was that bus is bearing down on me. I think I should step out of the way. All right. So here's what I came down to. Obviously we were running over time. Obviously the decision we had to make was basically concede and you know, avoid all of this excellent drama that we provided for all of your. Now this is out of consideration for the fans. We have to make this a challenge and it was very close. You're taking those back. So yeah. We didn't have enough storage.
