**Scrapyard Wars Season Three**

The third season of Scrapyard Wars had finally arrived, and contestant Austin was ready to take on the challenge. He had high hopes for his build, but things didn't quite go as planned.

Austin's Budget and Build

When it came to budgeting for his build, Austin felt confident that he had made some good decisions. He had paid a total of $38 for his SSD, which he considered a good deal at $0.25 per gigabyte. In comparison, his 150GB hard drive cost just $25, and the RAM was $10 for four gigs. However, when it came to the motherboard and CPU, Austin's build took a hit. He had been looking forward to using a 9550 motherboard, but ultimately ended up with a different board that he wasn't as familiar with. The result was a significant increase in cost, which put pressure on his overall budget.

Despite these setbacks, Austin was determined to make the most of his build. He spent an hour and a half trying to get everything working, and even considered reaching out to the contest organizers to see if he could be disqualified due to lack of progress. However, he eventually settled on using Free Geek Vancouver, which provided him with a Q6600 processor for just $17.

**The Build**

Austin's build was a mixed bag of successes and failures. On the one hand, his motherboard seemed to have been packed in such a way that it was almost impossible to install correctly. The power supply also malfunctioned, which made things even more difficult for him. Despite these setbacks, Austin managed to get everything working eventually, albeit with some significant tweaking.

One of the biggest surprises came when Austin realized just how close he had come to completing his build on time. He had initially thought that he would have plenty of time to finish, but ultimately found himself scrambling to meet the deadline. This lack of time put pressure on his build, and made it difficult for him to achieve optimal performance.

**Performance**

When it came to performance, Austin's build was a bit of a mixed bag. While he had managed to get everything working eventually, he struggled with some key issues, including finding a suitable sound card. He also spent too much time tweaking his system, which put pressure on the power supply and made things even more difficult.

Despite these challenges, Austin was pleased with how his build performed overall. However, he couldn't help but feel that there were a few areas where he could have done better. For example, he had initially planned to use four gigs of RAM, which would have given him an edge in terms of performance.

**Comparison to Other Contestants**

When it came to comparing Austin's build to those of his competitors, it was clear that he had struggled with budgeting and time management. While Luke seemed to have made some savvy purchases, including a $10 graphics card, Austin felt that he could have done better if he had spent more time on each component.

One interesting aspect of the competition was just how much the other contestants were spending. At one point, Austin realized that he didn't even know what his competitors were spending until it was too late. This added an extra layer of pressure to his build, and made it difficult for him to compete with those who had already invested a significant amount in their system.

**Conclusion**

Overall, Austin's experience on Scrapyard Wars Season Three was a learning one. While he struggled with some key issues, including budgeting and time management, he was ultimately pleased with how his build performed overall. Despite the challenges he faced, Austin managed to stay positive and enjoy the process of building his system.

As the competition came to a close, Austin couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. He had come close to winning, but ultimately fell short due to some key setbacks. However, he was also relieved that the experience was over, and that he could move on to other projects and challenges in the future.

**Post-Competition Reflections**

In the aftermath of the competition, Austin reflected on what he had learned from his experience. He realized that budgeting and time management were key components of a successful build, and that it's essential to prioritize these aspects if you want to achieve success.

Despite some setbacks, including finding a suitable sound card and struggling with power supply issues, Austin was pleased with how his build performed overall. However, he knew that there were areas for improvement, particularly when it came to optimizing performance and reducing costs.

As Austin looked back on the competition, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. He had built a working system from scratch, despite some significant challenges along the way. While he may not have won the competition outright, Austin knew that he had given it his all, and that was all that mattered.

**Final Thoughts**

Scrapyard Wars Season Three was an exciting and challenging experience for Austin and his fellow contestants. While there were some setbacks and disappointments along the way, the end result was a unique and rewarding journey of building and learning.

As the competition came to a close, Austin was left with a sense of accomplishment and pride. He had pushed himself to build something from scratch, despite significant challenges and setbacks. And while he may not have won the competition outright, Austin knew that he had given it his all, and that was all that mattered.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis episode of scrapyard wars was brought to you by dbrand i can run now so let's run now i don't based on nick coming in and asking if we're supposed to be done i'm thinking austin is not done he walked over to me and was like how did you install windows 7 with 20 minutes left i was like pretty sure he was trolling i don't mind that like the system's done like the thing is is like the first time we did scrapyard wars the benchmark period included like installing software yoyoyo hold on hold on pause everything what's going on right now with install uh well luke's not letting me put my front bezel back on because it's after four o'clock what about software uh we were just talking i don't even have a way of installing all the benchmarks i do not know your logins or anything so i can't do that that's a good point so i think we should the software should be my computer is 100 done hardware wise okay i love how both the other contestants are taking more time to do you know they can't you can put the camera down it's fine i didn't totally just accidentally install 32-bit windows so i'm currently installing 64-bit windows did not realize that there was a 32-bit windows thing on that key so i think the tool system deserves to see the light of day so we're just gonna put all this in here there's nobody look we're not coming through with any kind of monster computer or anything the cover's not helping much so we've decided to do the unveil in two stages stage one we unveil the hardware stage two we all run our benchmark scores therefore unveiling the performance stage three we unveil the prices that we paid so austin you're up first all right so introducing the greatest system i've ever built that's not saying much oh why does it have a power supply on the top it has a power supply on top because it has two power supplies okay so basically you guys just seem shocked and amazed you know what i get it i was going to do that oh really if i had gotten that graphics card oh that was the component that i knew you had really i called the guy and i was like can i come get it first and the guy's like no i already told him i'll give it to him so unless he doesn't show up you can't have it but i'll tell you what if he doesn't show up by two you can have it so and he goes and he goes but i don't think he's going to show up he's got a california number you totally got me okay so this needs some serious power this power supply is purely for the graphics card yeah it is a 6990. i saw that i actually almost went for that the 69.90 so we got talking dual gpus we also have a core i7 2600. not k the motherboard is not overclockable either so it's pretty much like if it works at stock i'm gonna be really happy with it that is the scrappinator there you go all right intro all right wow all right this looks awesome this oh what the hell what this my machine is called the scrap hole because it's where i buried all the extra hardware that i ended up with wow so uh i'll start horrifying right now i'll start at the top this is an ipi bllb lga 775 motherboard ddr2 my friends unfortunately it doesn't support the pentium 4 processor this works by the way at least it did before i did that to it this is a vintage usb 2.0 expansion card okay this slightly more apparent is it broken auto g2 this is the most disgusting piece of hardware that i have ever laid eyes on it smells the computer we pulled this from literally had a used crack pipe inside it nice really that's awesome literally that's good that's a good thing this is a working 9500 gs this is a working 6850 this is a sound blaster live also dead this is a heatsink so you found someone who's my army of hard drives you found some way to go to an actual scrapyard and get all this stuff for basically the hard drives may or may not work i'm not sure under there is a pentium 4 processor really this ram i borrowed so this actually is not i did not obtain the ram and uh that foxconn board i don't know it made those beeping sounds you heard earlier but you don't have ram in your system now because but no you can't add anything now oh he has another computer what is this i think this is all just a waste bc had a 60 50. it looks like a fairly decent car i think he has a whole another computer because i think he went to a scrap yard and like actually got all this stuff for like basically this is the leaning tower of scrapza why do you have two full computers this is my actual computer why don't you just lay it on its side why do you lean it i like it this way so there's yeah there's no reason okay so this this is my q 6600 yes i went q6600 again four gigs of ddr2 memory they're okay my 7970 ghost uh that was actually modded by the original owner believe it or not this commando rog motherboard was literally pulled out of a scrap pile of motherboards this is what i'm saying he found somewhere he's just like 18 on this entire rig literally well i have a 79.70 i mean come on okay this is 25. yeah 25. so that my friends is the leaning tower of scraps so can i just ask a question what's the deal with all this stuff if you have this computer we can't ask what price right now but he went to some trap junk place and got a whole bunch of this for you this is a radio 6850 that's a 68.50 it works but i'm factoring all this into my price cost of metal weight okay so i'll get the scrap hole out of the way it doesn't actually really stink like a rose computer i knew it oh i knew it i basically told you you asked me some stupid ass question on the first day basically this isn't john why is there fishing line on it so awesome i like this immediately so it's it's a q6600 i wasn't supposed to have one of those i was supposed to have a different processor then that guy bailed on me so i like scrambled and was able to get this this is a bfg tech power supply yeah there we go crap yard wars we'll be right back after these messages this episode of scrapyard wars is brought to you by dbrand makers of the precision cut vinyl skins that you'll see on the phones and notebooks of our contestants they offer a wide variety of styles and colors and support for the coolest devices including the playstation 4 galaxy note 5 and iphone 6s protect the body of your devices and make them look great at dbrand.com scrapyardboard here we go benchmark number one cinebench r15 three two one go and i think we all know who is winning this one you know maybe just possibly oh yeah well he has eight threads which is sort of an issue so this is i spent a fair chunk more on this i7 almost entirely for this test so hopefully i beat you guys by a lot because i i'm feeling pretty good i'm crushing luke yeah actually what's going on i thought don't you guys have the same cpu yeah mine has some issues 615. 316. oh almost double 316 for lioness computer i'm like 267 367. that's not bad all right so our first benchmark scores are in shall we run pc mark next yes let's do it ready three two one go okay i'm counting on austin's like crashing or something because he's going to crush the pc mark score as well oh man change has crashed so what do we do now i don't know do i get to try one more time because i've i've had it run i think that's fair technically says he has to immediately reset his own box it's up to you i think i'm gonna i'm gonna be a little lean on this one it's mostly because i also want a little immense if i have some issues in a minute so that was mainly your rule i don't know you were the one that was hardcore about it i just i don't think that's why it crashed yeah so what's what's the deal with this that does not look great yeah yours is doing so that might be because of your dual gpus you think it's just like not no that's part of the image manipulation benchmark i think oh is it it's not doing that this is what mine looks like yeah mine's being super screwy look at that yep i guess i gotta i guess i gotta dial back my overclock wow turn it off yep which is really yeah which is really shooty snooty just in general it's a good life skill to be able to turn that off so do i get to keep my cinebench then yeah i think because it worked it completed that test but his system isn't stable so i failed my pc mark run which means i had to reset my cpu overclock taking me from 3.2 to 2.4 gigahertz which in cinebench um basically amounted to about two-thirds of the score that i got now we're going to have a look at our pcmark results how are we going to submit results are we just saving yep click submit results and let's find out how much it affected me in pc mark uh my score zero that does not sound particularly right oh okay so austin's machine straight up derped and i apparently crushed luke how was your cpu image manipulation hard drive importing pictures to windows photo gallery yes i just oh the ssd paid off hardcore you just got creamed all right 3d mark fire strike time let's do it ready set go now we decided that unless austin's actually in contention which i don't think either of us really thinks it's gonna happen on this side table here rude unless austin's actually in contention we're just gonna throw out his pc mark score it just wouldn't finish so we'll see how the rest of it goes if he's in contention it's likely we'll assign him a similar score to what luke has your cpu is probably nothing wait crossfire's still on right uh yes it is yeah okay so oh no you're like luke's crushing us both don't worry though there's the cpu that's why i'm saying it wasn't expensive my second test didn't launch i wonder if we'll have to turn off that graphics card over clock not it says running system info though what does that even mean you're on is this a physics one so you're probably oh wow that's really good that's super good that's gonna crush your score yep let alone now it's just a lot slower uh wow yes you just crashed dude yeah oh wow rip what just how to reset your graphics tons of grapple no no oh i'm running at stock settings all right i'm in the second test yeah i like it nobody's done this twice it's my favorite there was no lower enthusiasm yeah the re-enactment was flawless okay so let's put austin's 45 46. 55.80 high or you barely beat me i beat austin dude fire strike 55 46 versus 55.80 that's pretty close all right all right so uh luke's a little behind to be fair i waited already you know which is exactly where i like him so let's go ahead and austin and i are going to start the tomb raider benchmark all right ooh whoa that's lower than uh whoa that's lower than i thought it would be okay no that's fine average that's 109.99 okay so austin comes in at 109 even with me coming in at 84.9 okay all right let's run far cry 4. okay so here's the update we are swapping out austin's graphics card with an r9270 to rerun pc mark and give us approximately the equivalent of if this card were to run with a single gpu what his pc mark score would be we know it's an approximation but the cold hard truth is nobody actually runs pc mark vantage so who cares we're gonna live with the approximation on luke's system we are running him off of an uninterruptible power supply to condition the power because i've seen this before where cheap power supplies will actually be able to handle a system but won't be able to handle crummy power coming off the wall which with all these systems running off the same outlet may in fact be the case here and we don't want to penalize him for bad wall power for my system we are apparently re-running my cinebench i was doing it so there was i was doing it so that there was something running of course but otherwise i have completed all of my benchmarks 67-11 he got a score okay do i get my oc back i don't know man it's because of the ups those dirty wall power is that fair it had nothing to do with it i think at this point we all just need to take a week do i get another crack with my overclock yeah see like that's just like a spiral maybe that is the dirty wall power okay so you're going to ups but then i have to rerun yeah come on we're done here i don't know like what it's i don't care whatever okay well there's oh my score wasn't that bad 242. so i'm doing my last test in far cry 4 right now yeah it's not running very well i don't know why it's not running very well i think low 40s but i don't know uh so i have good news guys hey it's done it's done and 97.80 oh so even without an ssd i was almost able to beat mine's just really low on that one yeah oh man but you crushed the graphics you did crush the graphics i think we should let luke just use his old benchmark score so the final scores are austin with 455 out of 500 points linus with 362. out of 500 points and luke with 386 out of 500 points wow so now all that's left is the cash count i don't know either what any of these coins are hold on okay this is a dollar uh 5989 i just used my calculator for yeah let me let me do that real quick i spent i spent 218 dollars final price per dollar score's really high though wait score per dollar higher is better good job good job officially wrecked i think you called it minus one by forty percent okay let's go okay let's go let's go let's go all right i had actually this is kind of a funny story if i had lost by 40 dollars i would have been so mad because the guy with the q 6600 offered it to me for 40. and i was like nah man here's another 20 bucks really i'm gonna fleece you slightly less oh my goodness wow now i was betting heavy on my ssd i i paid 38 for my ssd wow which is a good deal still deal yeah but when you consider my 238 dollar budget dude i paid 25 to my 150 gig hard drive 25 bucks i paid 10 dollars for mine you got wrapped on your heart so okay my my motherboard and cpu i was supposed to have a 9550 and some other board that guy i showed you i had 18 emails back and forth and stuff just i was supposed to bring it to work oh i forgot it so i had to scramble and find some other solution this was on the second day so like there's basically no way i'm gonna be able to set an appointment and have that appointment in the same day i ended up going to free geek vancouver which we've been talking about doing a thing i got a q 6600 for 17 bucks what that motherboard's 35. that hard drive was 10. all that ram was 40. i should have got four gigs i think i would have been way more competitive if i got four gigs all that ram was only 40 bucks and that power supply which actually murdered me and i should have bought the other one that i was going to buy from kevin's stupid website um but it it was 30 bucks okay so why don't we close this out austin it was your first scrapyard wars you came in on unfamiliar turf how do you feel about your result i feel like i spent way too much money that was the big problem i way misjudged the budget and i to be totally honest my build probably shouldn't have worked like how close i cut it to actually getting everything working at the last second like it should really should not have worked like the sexual tweaks my build shouldn't have worked either the motherboard when you see how that motherboard was packed my power supply barely works we were all yeah that happens every time dude it's scrapyard warriors don't worry about it i was like an hour and a half out like i don't have a working system i might just like be disqualified and like just not have anything to show oh man that was that was brutal but do you feel good about not getting disqualified i feel so good like the second i finished the bill's like you know what i don't even care if i come dead last i just built this system this crazy contraption it actually works so happy i'm still happy which is good because you did come dead last yes i did all right how do you feel about your performance today honestly pretty good i'm happy with the free geek vancouver stuff um i think i actually did quite well you just got a crazy deal which is that's scrapyard words that's totally fair i just wish i actually bought that corsair power supply that's the only regret i have i would have had pretty good overclocks and everything you still would have won i just would have been happy with my system overall but yeah i wouldn't have changed much just power supply so what i would have changed is i wouldn't have bought an extra 20 graphics card so i'm just gonna for the sake of running numbers i'm going to drop 20 bucks off my score here um i wouldn't have tipped the guy 20 bucks that's crazy dude i want to see and my fps per dollar score would have been literally more than double austin's and would have been uh about 25 better than luke's so i feel really great about my performance overall did you do a good job dude yeah as a purist i really would have liked to find a working sound device i would have spent another five bucks to get a working sound card that is like it's 100 fair because there was no sound benchmarks but that is if it was a system you were using that's a little brutal only having right yep um and i would have liked to spend time properly on my case i would have liked to present a more finished build if i'd had a full another day i also would have built my troll system dude that was awesome part of the problem was i didn't even have time to install windows on it yeah but overall had fun had a blast that was so much fun me too interesting because you don't know what the other people yeah that was the hardest it was honestly i was getting pretty close to guessing near the end but the whole time the duration yeah you had no idea what you were competing against in terms of price yeah right i had no idea you were spending what you were spending and all right you were confusing the whole time so thanks for watching guys i hope you enjoyed scrap yard war season three we'll see you again next time drop a like on the video and subscribe and all that guys good job guys all right awkward nude high fives yeah sloppy fightthis episode of scrapyard wars was brought to you by dbrand i can run now so let's run now i don't based on nick coming in

crashed dude yeah oh wow rip what just how to reset your graphics tons of grapple no no oh i'm running at stock settings all right i'm in the second test yeah i like it nobody's done this twice it's my favorite there was no lower enthusiasm yeah the re-enactment was flawless okay so let's put austin's 45 46. 55.80 high or you barely beat me i beat austin dude fire strike 55 46 versus 55.80 that's pretty close all right all right so uh luke's a little behind to be fair i waited already you know which is exactly where i like him so let's go ahead and austin and i are going to start the tomb raider benchmark all right ooh whoa that's lower than uh whoa that's lower than i thought it would be okay no that's fine average that's 109.99 okay so austin comes in at 109 even with me coming in at 84.9 okay all right let's run far cry 4. okay so here's the update we are swapping out austin's graphics card with an r9270 to rerun pc mark and give us approximately the equivalent of if this card were to run with a single gpu what his pc mark score would be we know it's an approximation but the cold hard truth is nobody actually runs pc mark vantage so who cares we're gonna live with the approximation on luke's system we are running him off of an uninterruptible power supply to condition the power because i've seen this before where cheap power supplies will actually be able to handle a system but won't be able to handle crummy power coming off the wall which with all these systems running off the same outlet may in fact be the case here and we don't want to penalize him for bad wall power for my system we are apparently re-running my cinebench i was doing it so there was i was doing it so that there was something running of course but otherwise i have completed all of my benchmarks 67-11 he got a score okay do i get my oc back i don't know man it's because of the ups those dirty wall power is that fair it had nothing to do with it i think at this point we all just need to take a week do i get another crack with my overclock yeah see like that's just like a spiral maybe that is the dirty wall power okay so you're going to ups but then i have to rerun yeah come on we're done here i don't know like what it's i don't care whatever okay well there's oh my score wasn't that bad 242. so i'm doing my last test in far cry 4 right now yeah it's not running very well i don't know why it's not running very well i think low 40s but i don't know uh so i have good news guys hey it's done it's done and 97.80 oh so even without an ssd i was almost able to beat mine's just really low on that one yeah oh man but you crushed the graphics you did crush the graphics i think we should let luke just use his old benchmark score so the final scores are austin with 455 out of 500 points linus with 362. out of 500 points and luke with 386 out of 500 points wow so now all that's left is the cash count i don't know either what any of these coins are hold on okay this is a dollar uh 5989 i just used my calculator for yeah let me let me do that real quick i spent i spent 218 dollars final price per dollar score's really high though wait score per dollar higher is better good job good job officially wrecked i think you called it minus one by forty percent okay let's go okay let's go let's go let's go all right i had actually this is kind of a funny story if i had lost by 40 dollars i would have been so mad because the guy with the q 6600 offered it to me for 40. and i was like nah man here's another 20 bucks really i'm gonna fleece you slightly less oh my goodness wow now i was betting heavy on my ssd i i paid 38 for my ssd wow which is a good deal still deal yeah but when you consider my 238 dollar budget dude i paid 25 to my 150 gig hard drive 25 bucks i paid 10 dollars for mine you got wrapped on your heart so okay my my motherboard and cpu i was supposed to have a 9550 and some other board that guy i showed you i had 18 emails back and forth and stuff just i was supposed to bring it to work oh i forgot it so i had to scramble and find some other solution this was on the second day so like there's basically no way i'm gonna be able to set an appointment and have that appointment in the same day i ended up going to free geek vancouver which we've been talking about doing a thing i got a q 6600 for 17 bucks what that motherboard's 35. that hard drive was 10. all that ram was 40. i should have got four gigs i think i would have been way more competitive if i got four gigs all that ram was only 40 bucks and that power supply which actually murdered me and i should have bought the other one that i was going to buy from kevin's stupid website um but it it was 30 bucks okay so why don't we close this out austin it was your first scrapyard wars you came in on unfamiliar turf how do you feel about your result i feel like i spent way too much money that was the big problem i way misjudged the budget and i to be totally honest my build probably shouldn't have worked like how close i cut it to actually getting everything working at the last second like it should really should not have worked like the sexual tweaks my build shouldn't have worked either the motherboard when you see how that motherboard was packed my power supply barely works we were all yeah that happens every time dude it's scrapyard warriors don't worry about it i was like an hour and a half out like i don't have a working system i might just like be disqualified and like just not have anything to show oh man that was that was brutal but do you feel good about not getting disqualified i feel so good like the second i finished the bill's like you know what i don't even care if i come dead last i just built this system this crazy contraption it actually works so happy i'm still happy which is good because you did come dead last yes i did all right how do you feel about your performance today honestly pretty good i'm happy with the free geek vancouver stuff um i think i actually did quite well you just got a crazy deal which is that's scrapyard words that's totally fair i just wish i actually bought that corsair power supply that's the only regret i have i would have had pretty good overclocks and everything you still would have won i just would have been happy with my system overall but yeah i wouldn't have changed much just power supply so what i would have changed is i wouldn't have bought an extra 20 graphics card so i'm just gonna for the sake of running numbers i'm going to drop 20 bucks off my score here um i wouldn't have tipped the guy 20 bucks that's crazy dude i want to see and my fps per dollar score would have been literally more than double austin's and would have been uh about 25 better than luke's so i feel really great about my performance overall did you do a good job dude yeah as a purist i really would have liked to find a working sound device i would have spent another five bucks to get a working sound card that is like it's 100 fair because there was no sound benchmarks but that is if it was a system you were using that's a little brutal only having right yep um and i would have liked to spend time properly on my case i would have liked to present a more finished build if i'd had a full another day i also would have built my troll system dude that was awesome part of the problem was i didn't even have time to install windows on it yeah but overall had fun had a blast that was so much fun me too interesting because you don't know what the other people yeah that was the hardest it was honestly i was getting pretty close to guessing near the end but the whole time the duration yeah you had no idea what you were competing against in terms of price yeah right i had no idea you were spending what you were spending and all right you were confusing the whole time so thanks for watching guys i hope you enjoyed scrap yard war season three we'll see you again next time drop a like on the video and subscribe and all that guys good job guys all right awkward nude high fives yeah sloppy fight\n"
