Modded Gaming PC Challenge - Scrapyard Wars Season 4 - Episode 3

We've got a lot of RAM in our system, but we're still short $60 to get another 8 gigs. We gave Linus 20 bucks yesterday, so that's part of our budget for today. I was thinking if I could find a good deal on some DDR3 RAM, maybe I could use that money to upgrade our RAM.

People have been asking about the price of 8 gigs of DDR3 RAM, and it seems like most of them are offering it for $50 or more. One guy is willing to sell it to me for $40, which would leave us with $22.75 left over for the rest of the mod. I'm not sure if we need any more paint, but that's something we should check before making a decision.

I also got an offer from someone who wants to buy our Antech case for $50. The thing is, it's kind of gray, so I'm not sure if that's what we want. We could try to get it painted for extra money, but that might be worth the risk. I've got a lead on another guy who's willing to sell us the same RAM for $35, which might be a better deal.

I also found out that one of the guys who was selling us RAM had some issues with his own mod and ended up having to fix it himself. He told me that he'd been trying to get everything done quickly, but things just didn't work out as planned. I think we should take our time and make sure we do it right.

We're getting close to finishing the paint job on this section of the case. It's coming along pretty well, and I feel good about how it's turning out. We've got a few small details left to finish up, like sanding down all the parts and blasting them with paint. I'm feeling pretty confident about the modding process, especially now that we've got everything smoothed out inside.

As for Linus, he was talking about his own system and how it would be great if we had more RAM. He thinks 16 gigs of RAM would be perfect for a modern system like his, but he only has 8 gigs right now. I think we should make sure to get as much RAM as possible for our mod, so that's part of why I'm trying to find deals on RAM.

We're making good progress with the paint job, and it's starting to look really sharp. We've got a few minor issues to work out, but overall, everything is coming together nicely. I think we're going to have a great-looking mod when it's all finished. As for Bob, he's been helping me out with the mod, and he's being very supportive. I appreciate that.

In terms of counting the small details, I'm feeling pretty confident about my abilities. However, if other people want to verify my counts, that would be great too. We're getting close to finishing up all the painting, and it's starting to look really good. I think we've got a lot to be proud of.

We're still waiting for some of the parts to arrive, but everything is coming along slowly but surely. The radiator is still clogged with pebbles, so we'll need to get that cleaned out before we can move forward. But overall, I'm feeling good about how the mod is progressing.

The final count after I paid back Bob is $5.70, and I've got to say, I'm feeling pretty confident about the modding process. We're going to have a great-looking system when it's all finished, and I think we should be able to pull off some impressive upgrades with our new RAM.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enall right 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 going to 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 Luca hand so a Welcome to our guests Bob and Rod and without further Ado let's get started SC so we're ready to call him back um we're a little late actually yeah it's 2:25 um do this can I have your phone oh wait no you called them with Brandon's phone okay Brandon can I have your you're not going to like this text what hey got a reply from the other guy he says he's willing to pay the full 400 so I'm going to have to take his offer sorry what 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 up to you 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 so I wonder if his brother has that though cuz I hope so remember the thing was is that his brother was dealing with it and whatever oh I hope so we want to get it today um cuz that card performs almost identically so and the 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 whatever you know 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 um 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 going to have a hard time matching the RW speec of our system okay so what are you planning for the lighting then um it's going to start dragging everything out here well we don't all we have right now is just that one case vanan that's a blue LED and that's not really going to be enough yeah but we um okay well now we can probably afford a water cooler you found the cooler 920 for what was it uh what 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 oh 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 3 hours just driving it really hurt what I think we're going to 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 close up it looks like they oh yeah so if we had like a rusted can so if we rusted can chopped it like here so that we just had the stick and none of this crap and then like strapped a rusted can it's having some Thunder sticks would they do stick tall off the off the machines too they going tall off the chassis might not be bad either but yeah I think if we totally we got to ditch the top this the top so if we cut if we cut here where there's a nice hopefully I don't work with bamboo a nice inside we can use a screw like put a plug piece in of something and then we can cover the this looks like bamboo Parts with some strapping or tape or whatever yeah all right I'm going to start trying to get through that okay I just heard back from the guy's brother he says it's okay to meet at 6:30 nice perfect 6:30 yeah oh that's even better yeah that's half an hour better yeah uh he says he can come home earlier if we need to meet up earlier but I don't even know if we're going to be done here time to yeah what time is it right now it's 3:15 uh I'm going to ask where he's located okay so I'll find that out either way we're in good shape we're going to have a video card which is better than not having a video card um and then I'm waiting on the cooler 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 lonus to start doing that would uh not get either one of us hurt so we're all stried down so uh one last thing I think we want to do is pull out pull out the hard drive cage right here okay um 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 and stick it somewhere yeah there we go that's perfect so um okay um so this can be gone okay the optical Bay we got to leave because it's part of the instru the structural Integrity of the case itself for keeping it from bending and so I just got to drill out some Ribbit so yeah it looks like um if you go to the bottom here you got those you got these two here um 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 at the same time yeah yeah yeah go go H all right yeah we're going to we got to make the best use of the labor that we have right now because we have used a lot of time on Hardware how freaking badass is that we need to get a Le we can grab we can have our initials on this guy will go right like this uh we started actually working on the aesthetic stuff I did worry a little bit about overall all time uh 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 going to be able to pull it together it fit yep I think we should win purely on the fact that uh you know their computer is not going to be as explosive as ours our computer is definitely going to 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 L Tech tips yeah so they should probably let us win it was a good run we're like the wook and they W get that reference all right there we go how do you turn it on what I don't know how to turn it on this little this whole thing but you have to push this little tab that's not I don't think that changes anything right really then I have to use it like this it sounds ridiculous yeah that does sound for it not to F throw sparks don't you yeah like thanks I don't even care that much so I would probably be like this soide it stand yeah I think that's the thing my elbow all right I didn't breathe that whole time nice I'm sure this sounds super dope through the mic sure that just sounds great we've uh we' figured actually out a fair amount of things I'm pretty happy with today's progress uh 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 just about every element of design in our case uh on in progress yeah so um yeah finish the S tomorrow and drop some Hardware in um 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 going to be ugly there's there's there's things we can do so we can cover them were you saying we can 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 got 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 the 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 better whatever and you know you can try to paint the wires themselves but as soon as you spray them with spray paint you're going to have a chemical reaction and they're just going to get gooey so the insulation on the wiring is going to just turn gooey on you now if you didn't touch it it might look okay from afar so it's something we probably don't want to do but um okay I'm going to 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 5 minutes so okay all right sorry who you hear back okay so this is a CPU Cooler guy yeah so uh he says yes it works with for and as well as as well as in oh I can't oh yes it works for get 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 ETA for you but yeah we should be able to make it part of the same trip did I think too let's do blue and silver on it we'll do a design actually dude since we're going to do like racing stripes or whatever on here like uh let's put a racing stripe on that power supply racing stripe done that'll be K racing stripe too or is that overdo no you know what that's Bingo that's exactly what we need to do okay so if we carry the theme so if we go RAC and stripe on the outside RAC and stripe on the power supply RAC 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 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 uh wow so there's going to be our window nice I like the blue color yeah we just leave the plastic on oh my God it's 5:00 is it really holy crap okay time flies man mine 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 see see how he comes straight over here instead of going over to the other team I don't know it wasn't trying to get me to come over there that's the Loyalty he was kind of just like that's the right there what do you mean what's so cool about it it's cool and awesome I don't even know what I'm looking at I'll get out of here actually what am I looking at trust me it'll be awesome we can't tell you that okay looks good would you go pick this up yeah that's great huh yeah yeah we're going for a rustic uh abandoned uh you know Woodyard type nice looks good done a wood case before I actually did a case out of uh old crappy pallet wood okay look at that dude that's going to be so awesome once that's painted bam okay everything left is going to be like a I hope that paint will work over plastic on its own I believe it does 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 ouch shoot we have to go it's 5:45 crap we're going to have to leave this sitting just like this yeah we got I mean we definitely got to get this stuff okay so our UTA is saying we're going to be about 11 minutes late for our rendevu with the video card guy but there's another wrench in the plan we are out of gas so I'm going to have to stop somewhere on the way we're going to have to message him and let let them know that we're running about 15 minutes late which should still be okay but we're going to have to let the then we're going to have to let the uh the CPU Cooler guy know yeah I was just going to 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 shoot do we have enough time to finish this mod Bob um when's it got to be done end of day tomorrow 5:30 tomorrow yep we'll be done on oh crap okay we've got a 3D 3D program running all right let's uh let's do this thing and mosy 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 antec cooler 920 that's an all-in-one liquid cooler and we have all of our Hardware 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 did we say 40 yep so I'm did he ever confirm that no but that's what he's getting is 40 bucks okay so if you're going to be that guy then you're going to be that guy I 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 it's not necessary so you're getting it for 40 all right on hey I'm Bob hey nice to meet you hi hi oh hi did you get our message yes so is 40 bucks going to work for you oh sure cool awesome all right oh I actually have okay cool oh it's okay I'm yeah I'm familiar with uh 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 4 minutes to the deadline thank you okay thank you okay let's take our let's take our water cooler our Ace in theole water cooler that we're going to overclock our 2500k 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 1 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 out and start selling used things at discounts and not be and try to sell them at full price I am cutting out our front panel to fit our sweet 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 GB 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 type of energy thermal energy maybe should left it but I think for the aesthetic it's better with the warnings fire is all the you need it's kind of true fire is all the warning you need these were the ones that were only $4.99 yeah but if you had two more of these caps you could drill the caps and a case foot I'm getting everything cleaned on the case for paint to it here right you can't have any dust oils fingerprints grease sticker goo the thing is if there's still a little grimy it's probably okay but I don't want them to be like disgusting well lonus might be fine claiming that he needs to build the computer for a uh immigrant girls orphanage for the challenged and elderly um I kind of feel feel bad when I haggle people because like I don't need to save $5 on a power supply but for the contest I do but like especially like if I was like 15 and trying to sell my power Suppy 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 cuz like oh yeah I drive like a relatively new car and I really need that five bucks off that power supply that's so much with like one bolt so we maybe we have to put I got enough room I could put a wood block and screw it in this way too and then come all the way through long screws all right top okay so we want to allow our piston Rod to go together but they've got an extra lip right here where they connect the crankshaft so I'm going to come in and take this extra e in of probably pretty hard casting off it there you go hot metal we'll shoot this really quick just some nice light so we got some uh 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 to emulate rust and harsh conditions so I want to throw some accents onto it with the darker color so I'm just going to throw some streaks like 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 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 330 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'm 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 1:0 now he hasn't messaged me yet little bit worried about that I've tracked down two more tiki torches well technically 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 we'll try to miss 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 relatively soon he doesn't really have a Time power supply guy wants us to pick it up at 3:30 and the SSD guy wants to either deliver or have us pick it up or I'm still trying to figure that out from 2:00 to 3:00 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 is and then go get the system for 3:00ish and then get the power supply for 3:30ish and be back here by hopefully 4 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 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 uh speed up our paint drawing times and we are pretty much ready to get rock in here okay um so one thing I do want to do is get that Hardware fired up at some point here this one's ready Maybe actually see it won't take you too long to bench stuff right H it'll take me a while yeah if you want to do that I'll go ahead and just handle all this stuff for now and then we'll regroup so I was pretty nervous about us not being in paint yet uh 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 magician software to utilize Ram as a cash now the 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 8 gigs of RAM I might want to get it today I gave you 20 yesterday so don't mess up our budget yeah I still owe you 20 right okay okay so I have 40 bucks I have $43 people are asking about 50 for 8 gigs of DDR3 so I would have to spend effectively everything you'd be left with $22.75 again for the rest of your mod do you need 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 got a guy who's made an offer on the antech case oh yeah 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 kind 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 got to allow for drying times just because I can get it painted yeah okay and we got to go we don't know how long it's going to take yeah and then that pulls me away okay I'll 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 going to try he wants how much 50 he wants 50 I don't think he's going to take 35 but we'll see I got a lead on our case I told the guy I got someone coming tonight so if he doesn't come get it today he 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 this 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 going to do no wonder when I tried to dump out the rat 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 Fork 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 in my radiator 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 cuz 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 going to fix that Bob you ready we uh got to leave 1 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 r9290 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 out on painting we are doing actually pretty good really so the let's see I have a few small misscellaneous things completely done I have all the fabrication is 100% % done okay um 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 I feel more comfortable if other people verify my counting 15 205 30 all right all right as long 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 $5.70 I got to 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 going to have itall right 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 going to 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 Luca hand so a Welcome to our guests Bob and Rod and without further Ado let's get started SC so we're ready to call him back um we're a little late actually yeah it's 2:25 um do this can I have your phone oh wait no you called them with Brandon's phone okay Brandon can I have your you're not going to like this text what hey got a reply from the other guy he says he's willing to pay the full 400 so I'm going to have to take his offer sorry what 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 up to you 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 so I wonder if his brother has that though cuz I hope so remember the thing was is that his brother was dealing with it and whatever oh I hope so we want to get it today um cuz that card performs almost identically so and the 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 whatever you know 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 um 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 going to have a hard time matching the RW speec of our system okay so what are you planning for the lighting then um it's going to start dragging everything out here well we don't all we have right now is just that one case vanan that's a blue LED and that's not really going to be enough yeah but we um okay well now we can probably afford a water cooler you found the cooler 920 for what was it uh what 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 oh 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 3 hours just driving it really hurt what I think we're going to 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 close up it looks like they oh yeah so if we had like a rusted can so if we rusted can chopped it like here so that we just had the stick and none of this crap and then like strapped a rusted can it's having some Thunder sticks would they do stick tall off the off the machines too they going tall off the chassis might not be bad either but yeah I think if we totally we got to ditch the top this the top so if we cut if we cut here where there's a nice hopefully I don't work with bamboo a nice inside we can use a screw like put a plug piece in of something and then we can cover the this looks like bamboo Parts with some strapping or tape or whatever yeah all right I'm going to start trying to get through that okay I just heard back from the guy's brother he says it's okay to meet at 6:30 nice perfect 6:30 yeah oh that's even better yeah that's half an hour better yeah uh he says he can come home earlier if we need to meet up earlier but I don't even know if we're going to be done here time to yeah what time is it right now it's 3:15 uh I'm going to ask where he's located okay so I'll find that out either way we're in good shape we're going to have a video card which is better than not having a video card um and then I'm waiting on the cooler 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 lonus to start doing that would uh not get either one of us hurt so we're all stried down so uh one last thing I think we want to do is pull out pull out the hard drive cage right here okay um 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 and stick it somewhere yeah there we go that's perfect so um okay um so this can be gone okay the optical Bay we got to leave because it's part of the instru the structural Integrity of the case itself for keeping it from bending and so I just got to drill out some Ribbit so yeah it looks like um if you go to the bottom here you got those you got these two here um 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 at the same time yeah yeah yeah go go H all right yeah we're going to we got to make the best use of the labor that we have right now because we have used a lot of time on Hardware how freaking badass is that we need to get a Le we can grab we can have our initials on this guy will go right like this uh we started actually working on the aesthetic stuff I did worry a little bit about overall all time uh 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 going to be able to pull it together it fit yep I think we should win purely on the fact that uh you know their computer is not going to be as explosive as ours our computer is definitely going to 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 L Tech tips yeah so they should probably let us win it was a good run we're like the wook and they W get that reference all right there we go how do you turn it on what I don't know how to turn it on this little this whole thing but you have to push this little tab that's not I don't think that changes anything right really then I have to use it like this it sounds ridiculous yeah that does sound for it not to F throw sparks don't you yeah like thanks I don't even care that much so I would probably be like this soide it stand yeah I think that's the thing my elbow all right I didn't breathe that whole time nice I'm sure this sounds super dope through the mic sure that just sounds great we've uh we' figured actually out a fair amount of things I'm pretty happy with today's progress uh 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 just about every element of design in our case uh on in progress yeah so um yeah finish the S tomorrow and drop some Hardware in um 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 going to be ugly there's there's there's things we can do so we can cover them were you saying we can 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 got 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 the 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 better whatever and you know you can try to paint the wires themselves but as soon as you spray them with spray paint you're going to have a chemical reaction and they're just going to get gooey so the insulation on the wiring is going to just turn gooey on you now if you didn't touch it it might look okay from afar so it's something we probably don't want to do but um okay I'm going to 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 5 minutes so okay all right sorry who you hear back okay so this is a CPU Cooler guy yeah so uh he says yes it works with for and as well as as well as in oh I can't oh yes it works for get 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 ETA for you but yeah we should be able to make it part of the same trip did I think too let's do blue and silver on it we'll do a design actually dude since we're going to do like racing stripes or whatever on here like uh let's put a racing stripe on that power supply racing stripe done that'll be K racing stripe too or is that overdo no you know what that's Bingo that's exactly what we need to do okay so if we carry the theme so if we go RAC and stripe on the outside RAC and stripe on the power supply RAC 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 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 uh wow so there's going to be our window nice I like the blue color yeah we just leave the plastic on oh my God it's 5:00 is it really holy crap okay time flies man mine 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 see see how he comes straight over here instead of going over to the other team I don't know it wasn't trying to get me to come over there that's the Loyalty he was kind of just like that's the right there what do you mean what's so cool about it it's cool and awesome I don't even know what I'm looking at I'll get out of here actually what am I looking at trust me it'll be awesome we can't tell you that okay looks good would you go pick this up yeah that's great huh yeah yeah we're going for a rustic uh abandoned uh you know Woodyard type nice looks good done a wood case before I actually did a case out of uh old crappy pallet wood okay look at that dude that's going to be so awesome once that's painted bam okay everything left is going to be like a I hope that paint will work over plastic on its own I believe it does 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 ouch shoot we have to go it's 5:45 crap we're going to have to leave this sitting just like this yeah we got I mean we definitely got to get this stuff okay so our UTA is saying we're going to be about 11 minutes late for our rendevu with the video card guy but there's another wrench in the plan we are out of gas so I'm going to have to stop somewhere on the way we're going to have to message him and let let them know that we're running about 15 minutes late which should still be okay but we're going to have to let the then we're going to have to let the uh the CPU Cooler guy know yeah I was just going to 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 shoot do we have enough time to finish this mod Bob um when's it got to be done end of day tomorrow 5:30 tomorrow yep we'll be done on oh crap okay we've got a 3D 3D program running all right let's uh let's do this thing and mosy 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 antec cooler 920 that's an all-in-one liquid cooler and we have all of our Hardware 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 did we say 40 yep so I'm did he ever confirm that no but that's what he's getting is 40 bucks okay so if you're going to be that guy then you're going to be that guy I 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 it's not necessary so you're getting it for 40 all right on hey I'm Bob hey nice to meet you hi hi oh hi did you get our message yes so is 40 bucks going to work for you oh sure cool awesome all right oh I actually have okay cool oh it's okay I'm yeah I'm familiar with uh 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 4 minutes to the deadline thank you okay thank you okay let's take our let's take our water cooler our Ace in theole water cooler that we're going to overclock our 2500k 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 1 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 out and start selling used things at discounts and not be and try to sell them at full price I am cutting out our front panel to fit our sweet 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 GB 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 type of energy thermal energy maybe should left it but I think for the aesthetic it's better with the warnings fire is all the you need it's kind of true fire is all the warning you need these were the ones that were only $4.99 yeah but if you had two more of these caps you could drill the caps and a case foot I'm getting everything cleaned on the case for paint to it here right you can't have any dust oils fingerprints grease sticker goo the thing is if there's still a little grimy it's probably okay but I don't want them to be like disgusting well lonus might be fine claiming that he needs to build the computer for a uh immigrant girls orphanage for the challenged and elderly um I kind of feel feel bad when I haggle people because like I don't need to save $5 on a power supply but for the contest I do but like especially like if I was like 15 and trying to sell my power Suppy 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 cuz like oh yeah I drive like a relatively new car and I really need that five bucks off that power supply that's so much with like one bolt so we maybe we have to put I got enough room I could put a wood block and screw it in this way too and then come all the way through long screws all right top okay so we want to allow our piston Rod to go together but they've got an extra lip right here where they connect the crankshaft so I'm going to come in and take this extra e in of probably pretty hard casting off it there you go hot metal we'll shoot this really quick just some nice light so we got some uh 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 to emulate rust and harsh conditions so I want to throw some accents onto it with the darker color so I'm just going to throw some streaks like 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 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 330 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'm 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 1:0 now he hasn't messaged me yet little bit worried about that I've tracked down two more tiki torches well technically 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 we'll try to miss 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 relatively soon he doesn't really have a Time power supply guy wants us to pick it up at 3:30 and the SSD guy wants to either deliver or have us pick it up or I'm still trying to figure that out from 2:00 to 3:00 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 is and then go get the system for 3:00ish and then get the power supply for 3:30ish and be back here by hopefully 4 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 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 uh speed up our paint drawing times and we are pretty much ready to get rock in here okay um so one thing I do want to do is get that Hardware fired up at some point here this one's ready Maybe actually see it won't take you too long to bench stuff right H it'll take me a while yeah if you want to do that I'll go ahead and just handle all this stuff for now and then we'll regroup so I was pretty nervous about us not being in paint yet uh 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 magician software to utilize Ram as a cash now the 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 8 gigs of RAM I might want to get it today I gave you 20 yesterday so don't mess up our budget yeah I still owe you 20 right okay okay so I have 40 bucks I have $43 people are asking about 50 for 8 gigs of DDR3 so I would have to spend effectively everything you'd be left with $22.75 again for the rest of your mod do you need 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 got a guy who's made an offer on the antech case oh yeah 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 kind 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 got to allow for drying times just because I can get it painted yeah okay and we got to go we don't know how long it's going to take yeah and then that pulls me away okay I'll 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 going to try he wants how much 50 he wants 50 I don't think he's going to take 35 but we'll see I got a lead on our case I told the guy I got someone coming tonight so if he doesn't come get it today he 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 this 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 going to do no wonder when I tried to dump out the rat 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 Fork 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 in my radiator 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 cuz 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 going to fix that Bob you ready we uh got to leave 1 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 r9290 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 out on painting we are doing actually pretty good really so the let's see I have a few small misscellaneous things completely done I have all the fabrication is 100% % done okay um 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 I feel more comfortable if other people verify my counting 15 205 30 all right all right as long 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 $5.70 I got to 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 going to have it\n"
