Rebuilding the $50 Gaming PC

2017-04-12
hey guys this is Austin so last time Jay and I may or may not have made a little bit of a mistake but today we're here to redeem ourselves what we're going to do we're going to rebuild the scrap inator the scrap inator is a fifty dollar PC the Jay and I got off of Craigslist last year that we attempted to turn into a game PC with less than perfect results single core 2.4 gigahertz whoo so right now let's go to storage let's knock out like basically let's go see if you can find the system I hope I didn't lose it but there's also sleeping and buying some other parts okay soon we're going to have to gut most of you so if we're going to put like rising five inside with a decent GPU I don't know what kind of power supplies inside of I'm sure it's garbage all right so if this is going to be fun um so when do we do the videos September we have to do some digging okay we got a ten sixty I get started here or if I know I get to a small form-factor power supply we've got a 600 watt okay let's keep honest we also do have one at a cake back here but I think that can 60 especially should work right I had a terrible idea my lovely lady so we at our supply right what do you think the system is going to pull it full load just wild guess well I don't know we've got we've got the way you want to do it and then the way I'm kind of going to try and make you do it well I've got something that might work for both of us okay what's that will fit barely uh it might not but we can make it fit it's not too too long I've got the same power supply subscribe Nader lives again I'll see what we came into 400 there it is right there oh I knew that all right what do we got here ah we can work with that - the problem with this case is it actually doesn't have any cams at all in right now it just has the stock fin and the power supply eighty millimeter fan that's it I want to reuse as much as we can turn this but I do think this motherboard got to come out there's no way we're going to use a single cord line so right now we have eight gigs of RAM hopefully we're going to bump that up to 16 we've got a 1050 which I think should work pretty well and then we stole a small fan as well as a once I write hard drive from the Dell so this is looking like the beginning of the build all right let's get to work on this guy so first of all I think the big thing I want to do with this is keep it as original looking on the outside as possible I wanna give it away from the outside from the inside we can make it look whatever but like I kind of the idea of it looking like well a fifty dollar crack the idea is that it's just unsuspecting so I think first step should be just gutting everything out of here and then I think we can slowly rebuild with whatever parts that we can salvage yeah I don't think there's gonna be much left like literally it's just going to be a steel frame when we're ready to build in it we kind of keep the soul of this guy though man we gotta like the scrapping leader has to live on and more than just body do you think this can ever been taken off unless I don't think so I like that is that is original like half a camera no so I'm not taking responsible life but that was not us you can see where he wiped it that modem though mm-hmm what does a date on it would say um June 2007 I just love that someone had a DVD Drive and like you know what I need a CD Drive I thought maybe we could have blown this out before we started tearing it down it's okay we're in your studio so inside those car shows and they find like some cards from sitting in a garage like 40 years there was like pressure wash it down or like those home remodeling shows so they crack open a wall is full of like yeah that's quality right age wire we wouldn't wanted to be use that at all oh no way serious yeah we're gonna we just area that's that's right long I like the idea of keeping the a at the outside fairly original but I feel like a lot of what we have to do is going to depend on a couple of things one power supply size we have to go hand inside because there is no venture for sure oh wait yeah okay crisis number one yeah we have to turn around the other way because the modular cable hit the frame wait you're exactly yeah actually you know what Barry she doesn't look crazy no no she looks like it's it like yeah there that's pretty because it's it's black in kind of a platinum color and then you notice seems were themed on that this is intentional so now it's time for our risin 5 processor so this is the 1500 X so it means that it is quad-core so it's kind of against the core i5 I'd say so for this it should be more than enough to go along with it though we have a be 350 motherboard now the only issue is I don't know if this actually has a BIOS update that will work with Rison 5 I hope it'll just work out of the box because it's not all getting perfect stand up straight oh really oh dude is this actually going to work right now you have enough clearance in the back well actually have a lot of plants over here when we want to run cables yeah those more clients go to be ok here comes the fun part installing these 1,500 eggs with that we have a rising part in our build so a 1050 should definitely stay um I almost wonder though this is going so well we can actually maybe step it up a little bit or do you have a mine maybe like a 1080 1080 item like that your luck because I usually have one on me haha is that gonna fit though because if we got this dried I don't think though I don't think it's gonna fit at all oh so you know we don't need these bottom draw drives because we're going to fill up the final quarters yo he's gonna work in it all right now comes the fun part that that actually work Oh pull so tight yes Nidoran oh you know what that's right barely cleared though let me tell you why because I was basing it off the top plot and if they don't you oh all right well that's looking pretty good I think now it's just a thing of getting some cabling throwing the memory in I think this should work um the only other thing is gonna be cooling but I think let's get this all up and running and then we'll figure that out so since the scrap nadir is accidentally becoming kind of cool instead of using a one terabyte hard drive instead we're going to using a samsung 950 pro all right now we have an nvme SSD where's our memory this is the only part actually a little nervous about I know Rison has some issues with memory especially when you get higher clock stuff worst case scenario we do one stick and there we go this is looking like an actual system this everything else needs we plugged in on the bottom like I know that's proprietary to the other motherboard we can plug it in hope that it's miraculously the exact same layout okay it's hit the exact came to know so one of those never work think there's no way we're that lucky hopefully works if it doesn't work then we're gonna have to face everything about this build is so close we're barely making it like ah look at that there's not any slack on that whatsoever but it's it okay um let's start to a first place he works here hang I get I got it don't move don't wiggle that's it hey J got it in anyway little light can do and when it comes to insertion force time for the moment of truth there are a lot of things that could go wrong there still are yeah but the things ready oh my god we got lucky the pin out where are you two ten-year-olds motherboard match the pin out I tell you I'm pretty sure they were standard but just everything spinning AMD always takes forever on the first booth first ones yeah yeah dude just going to work it could be memory but I still think the memory configuration on this right now it's freaking it out a little bit yeah so we go there a dude takes two minutes out of the first boot dude yes the scrap Gator lived in the tents 3033 we've got risin five showing up fifteen hundred eggs it shows boiling shows 8kg an old channel 2133 like now but don't you say cakes oh no it did freak out a little bit so one of the memory isn't being that's fine okay whatever okay this works dude this we're eating ourselves that's the dude it'll never so you're sure this is not the most practical build it's not the prettiest build it's not the most ghetto build but man it is the slipperiest build I'm so proud of this right now so the scrap a lid if you guys one check out the original $50 game PC challenge of how we got this system in the first place definitely be sure to check that out you can also subscribe to jay who makes cool videos and helps me dremel sometime I'm curious what do you guys think about the new scrap nadir let us know in the comments below and we were I or someone will catch you in the next one
