 Alright, so you guys pretty much know how this works at this point it is time again for scrapyard wars But we're throwing a wrench into the rules once more we're gonna have a bigger budget $900 per team and because that gives us enough money to build something that not only performs well, but also looks good We've brought in BS mods professional computer modders Extraordinaire to lend both me and Luke a hand so a welcome to our guests Bob and Rod and without further ado Let's get started So we're ready to call him back we're a little late actually yeah, it's 225 Can I have your phone wait no you called him with Brandon's phone okay Brandon can I have your What? Hey got a reply from the other guy. He says he's willing to pay the full 400 So I'm gonna have to take his offer. Sorry Whoa hold on no we just won the lottery. I do however have an XFX reference cooler cooled card I can sell you for 260 Hey, why didn't he tell us that in the first place that when we were like begging for a better deal done deal that fits better in our budget Dude, you're a fast texter name the time and place That Is awesome, I wonder if his brother has that though because I hope remember the thing was that his brother was dealing with it And whatever oh, I hope so we want to get it today Because that card performs almost identical and so So we just got extra money in our pocket yeah, if that's I'm getting a CPU cooler or you can have more modding crap No, I mean we're pretty good other than that is great. Okay. Well, let's let's enjoy our food knowing that we may have just pulled this out of the fire I Feel really good about our computer hardware A year ago when we did the first scrapyard wars I might not have felt as good about what we got for our money, but quite frankly with how Competitive the used market seems to have gotten I mean we ended up buying from someone whose entire job It is to scavenge used stuff assemble it into systems and sell it and that Combined with the way the Canadian dollar has tanked. I feel really good about what we got considering the market conditions I think Luke and Rod are gonna have a hard time matching the raw spec of our system Okay, so what are you planning for the lighting then? Well we don't all we have right now is just that one case fan That's a blue LED, and that's not really gonna be enough yeah, but we okay well now We can probably afford a water cooler. You found the cooler 920 for what was it? Oh? Was it like 50 bucks 50 bucks or best offer so we might get it for less I think that one comes with two fans so right now we got a 120 and a 140 with this yep So honestly the blue LED fan is kind of the odd man out, but one of the categories is lighting So we can't abandon it So I have LED strip lighting in my toolbox. Okay, and It would definitely light up the whole case like it's like a whole kit So it would do the whole case really bright We really needed to spend at least another couple hours on aesthetics today We burned over three hours just driving it really hurt What I think we're gonna be able to deliver in the aesthetic department hopefully Bob can prove me wrong tomorrow, but Right now I'm pretty worried So they look kind of like that and for a close-up it looks like they So if we had like a rusted can so if we Chopped it like here so that we just had the stick and none of this crap And then like strapped a rusted can having some thunder sticks. They do stick tall often off the Machines to these are going tall off the chassis might not be bad either But yeah, I think if we totally We want to ditch the top this is awesome So if we cut if we cut here where there's a nice hopefully I don't work for bamboo a nice inside We can use a screw like put a plug piece in or something and then we can cover the this looks like bamboo parts With some strapping or tape. Yeah All right, I'm gonna start trying to get through that. Okay. I just heard back from the guy's brother He says it's okay to meet at 630. Nice perfect 630. Yeah. Oh, that's even better. Yeah, that's half an hour better Yeah, he says he can come home earlier if we need to meet up earlier But I don't even know if we're gonna be done here right time to know what time is it right now. It's 315 I'm gonna ask where he's located Okay, so I'll find that out either way. We're in good shape. We're gonna have a video card, which is better Not having a video and then I'm waiting on the cooler or so we should get an answer back So hopefully direct me show me what to do while you do other more important things I was actually trying to figure out what I could get Linus to start doing that would Not get either one of us hurt. So we're all stripped out. So one last thing I think we want to do is pull out Pull out the hard drive cage right here. Okay, because we can just open up this space It's not really needed since we only have one SSD. We can just use like double back tape or something stick it somewhere Yeah, there you go. That's perfect. So so This can be gone. Okay, the optical bay We got to leave because it's partly instructs been the structural integrity of the case itself for keeping it from bending So I just got a drill out some so yeah, it looks like okay if you go to the bottom here You got those you got these two here And then those two there do you want to do that and have me cut out the window? You better cut the window. I would do such a crappy job of the window. You want me to do it same time? Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna make the best use of the labor that we have right now because we have used a lot of time on hardware How freaking bad ass is that I'm gonna get Alexis. We can grab we can have initials on this guy will go like this We started actually working on the aesthetic stuff I did worry a little bit about overall time but rod is really fast and If he gives me something that I can actually work on I can hopefully be pretty fast So I think we're gonna be able to pull it together the fit. Yep. I Think we should win purely on the fact that you know, their computer is not gonna be as explosive as ours Our computer is definitely gonna be dangerous Whether it's our computer could literally kill their computer, right and our own right? It probably will and and the building. Yeah So much for Yeah So they should probably let us win. It was a good run. We're like the wookie and they won't get that reference All right. There we go How do you turn it on? I don't know how to turn it on this whole thing, but you have to push this little tab Really then I have to use it like this it sounds ridiculous For it not to play throw sparks at you. Yeah Thanks. I Don't even care so I would probably be like this Yeah, I think that's the thing All right, I Didn't breathe that whole time Sure, this sounds super dope through the mic sure that just sounds great We've figured actually out a fair amount of things I'm pretty happy with today's progress We still have some stuff we need to acquire which is becoming a problem over time But the aesthetic stuff I think is really coming along I think we have this about every element of design in our case on in progress. Yeah, so Yeah, finish the estate tomorrow and drop some hardware I'm a little worried about the cables on that power supply Like I was thinking about you know what we can do with this acrylic on the way over here And they're just gonna be ugly There's there's there's things we can do so we can cover them Are you saying you weren't sure if we had enough acrylic for the back panel, but I think we do I think we got lots We can gut the power supply and we can actually snip back any wires We don't need that's true. We can snip those off get those out of way so that eliminates that Then anything that's left. Um, if there's any way we could put something over them I don't care if we use a sock or something just to put like anything whatever and you know You can try to paint the wires themselves But as soon as you spray it with spray paint You're gonna have a chemical reaction and they're just gonna get gooey So the insulation on the wiring is gonna have to turn gooey on you now if you didn't Touch it. It might look okay from a first look Touch it. It might look okay from afar so for It's something we probably don't want to do but um, okay. I'm gonna start by tearing down the power supply then Okay. Yeah, and then we can we can snip anything back. Yeah, i'll have this done in about five minutes. So okay All right Sorry, who'd you hear back from? Okay. So this is a cpu cooler guy. Yeah, so uh He says yes, it works with for and as well As well as amd as well as oh I can't oh Yes, it works for okay, so I live close to joyce station. Okay, that's actually pretty close to where we need to go for the video card. Anyway Okay, so if it's for just about 4 30 right now, so should I tell him a time and say can we meet up at like? Whatever time let me let me get a closer. Let me get a closer at you for you But yeah, we should be able to make it part of the same trip I think too. Let's do blue and silver on it. We'll do a design Actually, dude, since we're gonna do like racing stripes or whatever on here like uh, let's put a racing stripe on that power supply That'll be killer racing stripe too Or is that overdoing it? No, you know what that's bingo. That's exactly what we need to do So if we carry the theme so if we go race and stripe on the outside Race and stripe on the outside race and stripe on the power supply race and stripe on the ssd. It ties it all together Super easy. This kid wants what 50 bucks for that thing or whatever? So and i'm sure we could probably get it for 40. Okay, so Just let me do the talking A lot of laughing going on. We'll see how much you guys are giggling when you lose. Yeah Yeah No, we need that okay I mean, is it really a surprise when i'm victorious though? Do you mean with or without cheating like you know, is it You've been following me this whole time. Do I seem like the kind of person who would cheat? Wow So there's gonna be our winner Nice like the blue color Yes, yeah, just leave the plastic on Oh my god, it's five o'clock is it really holy crap, okay Time flies man Line is speaking. Oh, okay. You know what i've actually tracked down most of what I need I think But do you have any cpu coolers? I don't know. I'm just gonna go ahead and get a couple of them. Okay, so See see how he comes straight over here instead of going over to the other team I don't know. I wasn't He was kind of just like sure What do you mean what's so cool about it it's cool and awesome I don't know what you're gonna trust me. It'll be awesome. We can't tell you that case looks good. Would you guys pick this up? Yeah, that's great. Huh? Yeah. Yeah, we're going for a rustic abandoned Nice looks good. I've done a wood case before I actually did a case out of old crappy pallet wood Okay, look at that That's gonna be so awesome Once that's painted I am okay I hope that paint will work over plastic on its own So we have to or cut around or something but Yep All right rock on can you wet sand with alcohol? No, um, just want to use water. That will be awesome Shoot we have to go it's 5 45 crap. We're gonna have to leave this sitting just like this Yeah, we got I mean we definitely got to get this stuff. Okay? So our eta is saying we're gonna be about 11 minutes late for our rendezvous with the video card guy But there's another wrench in the plan We are out of gas. So i'm gonna have to stop somewhere On the way We're gonna have to message him and let him know that we're running about 15 minutes late which Should still be okay, but we're gonna have to let the then we're gonna have to let the uh The cpu cooler guy know yeah, I was just gonna Scrapyard wars will return after this message from our sponsor this episode of scrapyard wars is brought to you by dbrand Makers of the precision cut vinyl skins that you see on the phones and laptops of the contestants They may not be bulletproof, but they look really cool Try out their configurator at dbrand.com linked in the video description Do we have enough time to finish this mod bob Um wednesday's got to be done end of day tomorrow 5 30 tomorrow Yep We'll be done Oh crap, okay We've got a 3d 3d program running All right, let's uh, let's do this thing and mosey We've got our video card We still have 23 minutes Before we have to wrap up for the day And all that's left is to meet up with the guy who has our cpu cooler. We're getting an antech cooler 920 that's an all-in-one liquid cooler And we have all of our hardware Ready to go with that Ready to go at that point So we got to head back to the office and tomorrow We have the whole day to build which bob insists is going to be enough and we are going to finish But I do not share his confidence Okay, so what'd we say 40 yep So Did he ever confirm that no, but that's what he's getting. There's 40 bucks Yes, okay. So if you're gonna be that guy then you're gonna be that guy I'll tell you what i'm i'll give you i'll give you the i'll give you the 10 to have in your back pocket No, it's not necessary So you're getting it for 40 All right on hey i'm bob hey nice to meet you So did you get our message? Yes, so it's 40 bucks gonna work for you. Oh sure cool. Awesome. All right Oh, actually, okay cool. Yeah, it's okay. I'm yeah. I'm familiar with buying hardware on the street corner, you know Yes, everything's here. Everything's good to go. Let's pay the man and we are We are four four minutes to the deadline. Thank you. Okay Thank you Okay, let's take our let's take our water cooler our ace in the hole water cooler that we're gonna overclock our 2500 day with and uh Yeah, that's the last piece of the puzzle. That's the last piece of the puzzle. We have everything we need mission accomplished Yes friends mission accomplished all the hardware I think well, we're one minute from pencil's downtime today and we are done we are done Actually on ncx I found some ssds that were just as cheap as they are on craigslist So people need to figure it out and start selling used things at discounts and then not be and try to sell them at full price I am cutting out our front panel to fit our suite Gauges, so we want this to drop flush so it's not interfering with like our torch Um, there's a guy with a 240 gigabyte v300 for 80 bucks which is still available We've got an 840 evo Which is still available, which is 90 bucks and it's a 250 gig and then the power supply we've got for 45 The energy hazard inside sticker which actually might have been a good idea to keep on because you know fire is like A type of energy thermal energy maybe should have left it but I think for the aesthetic it's better without warnings It's kind of true fire is all the warning you need These were the ones that were only 499. Yeah, but if you had two more of these caps you could drill the caps and Get the case foot I'm getting everything cleaned on the case For paint to it here, right? You can't have any dust oils finger frans grease sticker goo The thing is if they're still a little grimy, it's probably okay, but I don't want them to be like disgusting While Linus might be fine claiming that he needs to build a computer for a Immigrant girls orphanage for the challenged and elderly I kind of feel bad when I haggle people because like I don't need to save five dollars on a power supply but for the contest I do but like Especially like if I was like 15 and trying to sell my powers by so I could Buy a new computer component like that five bucks is actually pretty impactful so like it's pretty to haggle with people and then like I Kind of feel like I should hide my car when I drive up is like Oh, yeah, I drive like a relatively new car and I really need that five bucks on that power supply That's so much with like one bull So maybe we have to put I got enough room I could put a woodblock and screw it in here this way too and then come all the way through with long screws All right, so Okay So we want to allow our piston rods to go together, but they've got an extra lip Right here where they connect to the crankshaft So I'm going to come in and take this extra eighth inch of probably pretty hard casting off it There you go hot metal I would shoot this really quick just some nice light There you go So We got some stone accent paint it's black with a little bit of uh Kind of a brown in it and we've kind of done an overall brown texture Coat kind of do emulate rust and harsh conditions So I want to throw some accents onto it with the darker color. So I'm just gonna throw some streaks right across it And uh So now it looks like it's really been around for a few years, which it has it's pretty old chassis Plan today is to get the system Hopefully get a power supply and ssd and do everything we possibly can in terms of aesthetics I'm not sure we're going to get to 100% in terms of aesthetics, but we'll get as much as we can So we're picking up a power supply at 3 30. It's currently 110 um, i'm trying to Get on the laptop so I can figure out when we're picking up The ssd and the system the guy said and I quote Later, I am at work around noon. I will text you when i'm there and ready. I have to take care of some shipping This morning first so it's 110 now. He hasn't messaged me yet a little bit worried about that I've tracked down two more tiki torches. Well, technically We have actually 61 more tiki torches, but we only need two and we can use the caps on there as feet for the case. So We might end up going to get those but i'm getting a little bit worried about the component stuff I've got an email from one of the guys apparently the ssd guy can meet us around two or three so That's good. Actually, i'll try to message him So i'm trying to schedule things out so we can most optimize our time in the workshop. Um, the system guy wants us to pick it up Up relatively soon. He doesn't really have a time power supply guy wants us to pick it up at 330 and the ssd guy wants to Either deliver or have us pick it up or i'm still trying to figure that out From two o'clock to three o'clock. So i'm hoping to line it up so that we either get the ssd or uh receive the ssd or go get the ssd at like 230 ish And then go get the system for three o'clock ish and then get the power supply for 330 ish And then be back here by hopefully four and then keep working We still have an hour of flux time from last night possibly an hour and a half considering they went half an hour over But we'll have to grill them about that later Okay, so here we are day three we've got to be finished our build at the end of the day and um I think uh bob went out to dinner with the enemy last night and got potentially some Um useful intel they didn't like come out and say anything obviously because they didn't want me to know what was going on But they were trying to do the whole code Speak thing, you know And but they had to show each other some texting and whatever So what I gather from that is that they don't have all their hardware yet So They actually had somebody deliver something here to the shop for them last night They are still in need of something and what I could get from the code speak is that they were uh Not sure that their deal was going to go through or not even and so they were going to have to scramble to find something else Meanwhile, we've got the heat cranked in the warehouse To speed up our paint drying times and we are pretty much ready to get rocking here Okay, um So one thing I do want to do is get that hardware fired up at some point here Maybe actually see it won't take you too long to Bench stuff, right? It'll take me a while. Yeah, if you want to do that I'll go ahead and just handle all this stuff right now and then we'll regroup So I was pretty nervous about us not being in paint yet last night but We're hitting the paint booth first and I still hear metal fabrication sounds over there So we've got all our hardware and we've got our fabrication done. We're in paint. I'm feeling pretty good about where we're sitting right now So, um, basically this is like I just I need something to set stuff on when I paint it So this is just a quick and dirty little stand out of some cardboard We have a samsung ssd Right, which means we can install samsung's ssd The magician software To utilize ram as a cache now Unfortunate thing is we don't have a lot of ram in our system, but we still have 60 So if I can find a deal on another eight gigs of ram, I might want to get it today I gave you 20 yesterday. So don't mess up our yeah, I still owe you 20. It's right. Okay Okay, so I have 40 bucks. I have 43 dollars people are asking about 50 For eight gigs of ddr3. So I would have to spend effectively everything you'd be left with two dollars and seventy five cents again For the rest of your mod. Do you need anything else? The only thing i'm concerned about is Paint should we need one more can of paint? So if I could offer okay, here's another thing I've got a guy who's made an offer on the antech case. Oh, yeah. Yeah Um, should I take the offer on the antech case even though that's kind of gray which gives us another 15 bucks Or 10 10 bucks 10 bucks. Well, I mean that's another can of paint if we need it I don't know that it's worth the risk of the paint and then the time we're going to lose tracking the hardware down because We actually do have quite a bit to do and we've got to allow for drying times just because I can get it painted. Yeah Okay, we don't know how long it's going to take. Yeah, and then that pulls me away Okay, i'll think you know what if he's down the road and he'll take 35 bucks or something And I can get the antech case done then i'm gonna do you want how much 50 he wants 50 I don't think he's gonna take 35, but we'll see I got a lead on Our case and I told the guy I got someone coming tonight So if he doesn't come get it today, you can't have it and then i've got a couple people asking 50 bucks For 8 gigs of ram one of which actually has identical ram. Here's a listing for 40 Maybe I can offer this guy. Uh, maybe I can offer this guy 30 Oh, this one's close Wait, is it? Oh, this one's close this one's like a 10 minute drive Okay, well that that came loose eventually. Ew. There's some there's some stuff in here You can see there's like yellow gunk Let's get the shoddy tubing off here replaced by some real tubing fantastic Come on I was right about the water having evaporated from this thing. It's completely full of gunk What are we gonna do? No wonder when I tried to dump out the rad it wasn't going It's totally clogged up Now what I hope is that it's just here in the barbs or something let's go see If it's my fault, I guess no one can really get mad at me, right? Okay, there we go and we're getting water out now that we've unclogged it Look at this. There's freaking pebbles my radiator This side is still not clear This side is still not clear. I'm sure Bob won't mind me using his uh, allen key set to do this Good thing I was planning to take this apart because if I had found out during final assembly That our water cooler didn't work and it was completely clogged Like no amount of Turning it off and turning it back on again was gonna fix that Bob you ready? We gotta leave one minute ago. Okay, you ready? Let's do it. All right. Let's go. I'll grab my food Find my phone We're doing linus's OCD things now Where linus really feels like a modern system with a 2500k and an r9 290 should really have 16 gigs of ram not 8 gigs of ram We're spending pretty much the rest of our budget on another 8 gigs of ram. Where are we at on painting? We are doing actually pretty good. Really? So the Let's see. I have a few small miscellaneous things completely done I have all the fabrication Is 100 done They're still fabricating. I just have to sand all the parts And just start blasting them with paint. We're literally like Flying through this section of the paint stuff. There you are. Please count them. I feel more comfortable if other people verify my counting All right So as you're doing business with you, thank you very much. We got a competition to win. So uh So bob final count after I paid back the 20 bucks I borrowed from you yesterday Is five dollars and 70 cents I gotta say i'm feeling pretty damn confident about The modding part I really am Because I think with smoothing out the insides and everything and just going with a good silver color And then whatever we do for some accents, man, I feel pretty good. It's it's hard to beat that I think we're gonna have it
