we've got two teams Linus and Dimitri from Harbor Canucks and Luke and Jai from J's $0.02 competing to build the best budget gaming rig it's all the usual rules no splitting up no using your influence and there is a special caveat this time we've got a massive 1337 dollars of debt ze brand cash here's big smart so good bunch everything comes out of your budget food water transportation even the means to carry around your purchases so who can find the best balance of money time and effort find out on scrapyard Wars scrap guard wars is brought to you by the new D brand grip learn more at the link below there we have to pick all this okay hold on I gotta get out of this year okay okay so Demetri I have a special plan to keep us from getting disqualified this time my goal is to look as unlike myself whoa as ever before color wait who's this guy I've got these sorts I'm gonna be wearing clothes toed shoes oh yeah and the hat and a hat and sunglasses am i recognizable who are you okay so while everyone is double counting the money back there because no one trust me for some reason I'll be showing off the devices that dbrand sent over for our contestants news we got a couple Alienware gaming laptops including their palm rest games and a couple of MacBook Pros and of course phones so there are two Google pixels and two iPhone seconds it will be up to the teams to fight out who gets what but what's this the iPhones have something special on them is that a new a brand product oh wait yes it is you're seeing it here for the first time this is the D brand grip it is an all-new case from D brand your favorite maker of vinyl skins it's got basically four key features number one is it's got naturally impact protection they weren't gonna have me shoulder thing off unless it was capable of sustaining a 15-foot drop it has number two compatibility of course with the brand skins out of the box something that other folks have been frustrated with mother cases about number three is it's got a carbon fiber composite frame so what that means is it's super lightweight it's super strong and it's super durable and number four again they're dealing with me the main objective when designing this was to create something that's less likely to be dropped in the first place so they're using a special material around the outside that starts out grippy and actually gets grippier over time and even molds a little bit to your hand as you use it so everyone's gonna be using and I call dibs on an iPhone no that's not gonna fly okay we'll figure it out in a minute okay so Luke made a very compelling argument we should split them right down the middle and leave it to the teams to fight over who gets the MacBook and who gets the PC who gets the iPhone and who gets the pixel does that work for everybody yeah okay I guess all right so then Dmitry MacBook or alienware really for you for me all right I'll take the MacBook see it's all this is like this is a man measurement contest and a man's a man's a man is not measured by the the weight and power of his device but by the size of the trackpad how much at a disadvantage are you local guys here in Vancouver like you far enough away from this to River yeah if someone was like yeah this port Kells I'd be like well actually I didn't know where that is cuz it's a tureen but you know but you know enough about the surrounding cities though to have an idea of like if this person says were in this city you know like you know that's not close okay so you're not gonna head up to Bakersfield no you could probably take a random sampling of a thousand people in the Lower Mainland and Luke and I would be in the bottom 1% for people who have actually spent any time in the city what did you say I said you don't get to decide we can pocket the cash we don't spend it right you're the one making the rules no challenge right who do we believe the producer of the talent the talent that always tries to cheat GPS on money not building a computer in scrap card wars it would be a whole new level in 3d you guys have an awful lot of laptops for sale in this area are you stopping no why wouldn't I be we're totally not sorry not sorry that's a few streets away I've loaded up okay don't forget the money Oh God it blends into the table I can't even load the page to create a new Google account I'm trying to get a burner account going here and it's gonna have a better name than Ash Ketchum this time oh yeah yeah give me a worse thing because that's impossible hey Jay you have both laptops right yeah I have everything except for what you had on the in front of you yeah he's not he's not driving his car he's just parking it so the cheating will start later the problem is like where we are right now literally is this giant residential neighborhood and where we need to get to in order to find civilization to like set up a base is not near I'm kind of thinking I want to find some place sort of off the grid that we don't run into them literally everything we have on us is all we have to make this work in a very loud airplane the weather's nice though we're about like Facebook group speak our pages because those exists yeah back home I can find better deals on Facebook pages and I can on Craigslist you seem to find more people there that really did kind of don't know what they have guys don't think the bike idea could work but the problem is you find some places 15 miles away that's a 30-mile trip that's two and a half hours you know it's definitely a different way of thinking because you can hop in a car and drive 20 miles you know and it a quick amount of time even in traffic and so you find yourself thinking much differently in terms of logistics and then you get there and what the parts like not what you want you lose so much time that way normally this show is about haggling right but what if you just offer asking but then we try and talk them into bringing it to us yeah getting people to deliver could be huge trying to get people to come to you is not as easy as you might think cuz it's kind of an unknown no no but in a written rule but online sales as the buyer goes to the seller my alias says birthday is gonna be August 18th so I'm working on a birthday computer ok that's gonna be my life can I be like your sister or your brother on the alias so that we can I'm can be looking for parts for my brother's birthday computer we really don't look that related you have blue eyes and an accent you're my brother from another country yes okay tell me something can you can you do like a fake like Canadian accent I don't think I can fake speaking what I'm speaking now no no can you can you fake talking like a new though see it's when you try to imitate an accent you you either funny or you're insulting people yeah but no you can't insult me though could try and imitate my accent okay trying to imitate my accent okay it was very close until the accent would actually yeah I'm actually like starting to freak out a little bit I I'm not sure how we're gonna do this Ben we might find someone that's got like some old versa that we could rent for like two days for like a hundred bucks that would be interesting we'd have to pay for gas but a versa goes really far on a gallon it's very yeah yeah how's he been thinking through city bikes yeah I saw that yeah so he could rent like a city bike but the problem was Demetri was telling me a little bit about it like you have to put down like a $500 deposit and you can't use cash has to be on a credit card it's not of course I dropped my essay not not the grips iPhone 7 Dimitri is exactly what I expected our partner super chill easygoing good ideas drop it some more man no that's my phone to have hit okay so there's only two CPU benchmarks and the way that we always do it is like like a weighted total so whoever gets the best score on the benchmark is a hundred percent mm-hmm and then if someone if the other team that's eighty percent of that score then they get eight out of ten I see so you guys the high score gets ten at a time right - yeah so I think basically we need to jump on everything we can find and try and get like a 1080 Ti what if we approach it for the dual duo to use for 4k stuff that would kill it the benchmarks you know what you're probably right and fire strike will scale nearly perfectly $900 I think you might be right I think - 980ti eyes would be a better bet but then we have to be got to blow a bunch of yeah you know what we we could pull that we could pull that stunt we just buy a calculator and lots of poutine yeah we just like hang out we go like see you they because you never been to Vancouver before right no so that's why the challenge is so interesting because now we have to explore Baku were together yeah but we could just go to Lake Capilano Suspension Bridge and like be tourists together yeah I think there's a pretty good chance that the third day will be me and Dimitri tooling around the city maybe we'll like you know rent bikes or whatever and we'll go like bike the seawall I have got a very good chance of that PC desktop computer for editing $800 it's got a 4770k it's got 8 gigabytes of RAM 7200 rpm he's got it 660 in FL but we potentially even have my little pro budget it's a complete system so yeah I find these like every time I've never ever going with one yet but we can try but one thing that I would suggest is talking to him and seeing if we can get the monitors there's 200 GB monitors out of there right I'm gonna try to buy those wonders personally outside of the show let me melon yep just start step firing off anything else thing because I'm you know ask them like will you sell the tower without the monitors how much yeah and then we can maybe even like we live in a start either get rid of that outside of that that's I'm just gonna get whoo goat is just their sneakers why do you need a dedicated buy and sell app for sweet we are walking right along so I mean we could buy some new sneakers I mean you probably bought haven in you see what are you are you hating forget about the how much do you miss your sandals Minh are you hating on my sty actually really like these you know these are actually really comfortable shoes huh would you believe they were on clearance our clearance in the ladies section that's where I found this gem when you found them yeah you know what where's the where's the the 210 80s for by the - 939 ATT eyes for 400 was that unlike oh yeah I gotta get that out as well so 980ti let's see I hope he didn't post the ad for x 400 firm 989 I think it's in our best interest to move really fast on the highest end GPS we can find you just so they can't get them you want to consolidate things like should I just like Ford you ads for people to contact yeah we can do that but I think that any phone calls needed made you should make from your phone that's a local number yeah yeah and we don't want another one of those like someone called me from California things happening absolutely I'll be there okay there we go you know this guy that would be our luck if we started with the big-ass Howard have to carry around the rest of the day 4770k a nice smooth 16 oh wow to go over pocket yeah mr. Cooley there's got to be a clue what that I've met a budget money lady's finest of course I think he's just trying to offload it quick you think we should try to shoot above I'm gonna contact him anyways but part of you feels like if you if you won't we take it as is and then Henry try and sell the monitors ourselves do the cheap right okay hi I'm calling about your video editing PC sorry I'm calling but your video editing PC video anything I do sorry about that alright fully built 1,300 well the six and rising system really rise in two thousand five hundred gigabytes exceeds 450 TI 1050 Ti is guy wants $1,300 what an idiot so one of those people who thinks that like because that's what they paid for it that that's what it's worth plus it's probably a little marked up because you've let's see beastie gave me PC for 650 and I 3 without a GPU okay we know how this this guy feels like os/2 40 elite hello a 59 60 X what is the insight next what is this oh but it's $1,000 no it's negotiable yeah we can at least get something from him his power supply it's not too much the ax 860 I for 350 bucks ax 860 I brand-new from NCIX is 265 so these guys this guy's drunk yeah hi I'm calling about your video interview see that you have for sale in crisis oh yeah yeah it looks great I had one question I actually already have my own monitors and even on the graphics card side I have a pretty good graphics card but I need like everything else that's in the system do you think we could do a slightly different deal there's one type who's interested in it and he wants to take a look at it tonight if he doesn't take it then I'll give you a show back and we'll come up with the price what were you thinking dollars and cents wise like 600 550 yeah okay that would be great what is that guy coming to see you sure yeah that would be good for us yeah then I'll let you know great okay 800 dollars that almost seems of monitor flips saying yeah but I feel like we've never really hard time slipping well that's silly just over $500 for GPU who buy it as is and then I mean yeah we don't have an SSD but so we're getting an idea tar right but we still need an SSD so we really have like four hundred and thirty seven dollars and I found that entice for both four hundred so we'll Hannah 4770k I'm not eight time if this guy comes back like well then I'll be like just um okay you guaranteed like tell me we will buy this this is not an if we will buy this okay we'll just flip the monitors we can't get at I know a dude but like ten any for 600 bucks is I think I'd rather go Timmy what Henning is like what 10% 50% faster than 92 yeah I know it's not a ton but a little bit yeah and like if we have room in the budget yeah and this one's been catching my eye repeatedly $400 982 we should message him anyway because we're gonna need one regardless even if we get this tower right all you know is got him for $10 firm low offers will be ignored so we could get an H h1 10 I GT for 120 bucks so we got a 90 I that system we just talked about an SSD I'm pretty sure we still afford that and just have like a really nicely cool TV holy crap this one is pretty useless there's like lots of bras and the electronics electronics oh wait this is just the feed oh I'm not looking at categories well I selected what category I was interested in oh wow this is a really weird computer it's a Xeon e5 six core with 32 gigs of ram in a Corsair air 240 you know that little tiny Corsair with SLI GTX 950 s what you might as well just get a 980 posted two weeks ago need to sell ASAP how much well they want $1600 for it it's like super Dom like it's a terrible thing thing so these guys seem to be like like a salvage shop so I'm gonna start I'm gonna start calling around to those kinds of folks mm-hmm and see if there's someone that's got a lot of stuff lying around hi do you guys have a lot of used hardware we're trying to build a gaming system for about a thousand dollars well because we're we're trying to get a better system for the money so if you have like order stuff yeah but that would be I mean that would be slower than getting a 980ti okay so sorry can I just get clarification do you guys have older hardware oh I see okay all right okay thank you anyway I like how he immediately goes into the lecture yeah PC brand new lines BAE 6700 K whoa 765 bucks with the 6700 K Samsung Evo 500 gigs 16 gigs whoa bar is this guy whoa Oh ITX board no this is this we can get here we can get here Corsair CX 600 M does that have do you think that could handle 980 SLI we'd have to get a new board and we'd have to get another nine seventy or eighty nine seventy nine again on the 970 for sure let's see what a gtx 980ti goes for on ebay 323 but this is bids this is still going going okay I want buy it now let's do Buy It Now 300 maybe boxing a little bit you're gonna pay and shipping anyway is is that a founders Edition that you found no it was a EVGA oh maybe you're right let's see know is this with this yet - does the other nestled I bridge he has to he does have to and a bridge these are SC pluses with back plate with the ACX cooler this is basically the game this is one thing is wanting to get let's make sure that the let's make sure he doesn't get it okay does he have a phone number I bet they're on their way there now let us realize that video editing or photo editing like to consider about right now I think gotta get in touch with him I haven't sent up to okay you gotta yeah yeah I don't know where I'm sending from though like I don't know what hi oh my god HTC no GTX t I not 200 300 800 that leaves us five hundred and thirty dollars come on avoid CPU power supply case SSD five things fine 100 each oh you know what I'm gonna start with this yeah can you throw in the sli bridge oh we're fine just set my phone number through to 90s are $320 first season is baccarat worse I bought a 290 for 200 bucks like prices on graph this parts are just stupid 6700 K GTX 1060 and please patriot blaze 240 SSD 80 bucks downtown Vancouver I wonder if this guy would be interested in leaving the graphics card oh yeah that would be good that computer we found is pretty sick 2500 K with eight gigs Abraham oh that $100 brand-new never opened 250 gig Evo's in Surrey so the day started with the usual Craigslist shopping I don't even know how we ever make an episode out of the first day of Stuttgart worse you just try and find all the things and send all the emails and hope that you know people who have had their listing up for two months are actually going to apply to you and then we had a moment we found not one but two gtx 980ti s for 400 bucks a pop oh okay hold on a second I just heard back from the two 980 t is for 800 bucks should we just do it and then you'll know the rest of it dual 980ti require a lot of power yeah so we need them powerful at least 800 at least 650 watts at least six faces but like I've been actually decent 650 because otherwise we don't want it to not boot yes that means that we have very little budget for food transportation so like the remaining of their money which is I'm gonna be totally honest with you I had totally forgotten about that I bought in my excitement about the card honestly I am blown away by how expensive transit is no the last time I extensively use transit I was in high school or Surrey University and I had a go card so I wasn't paying for it anyway and even if I was the rates were way less than what they are now oh yeah how about we at least get the one in them or we can get the second one and try and sell it to the other team because they're looking at that right now as well you can't tell me that they're looking for this can we sell to the other team okay okay we use aliases Linus isn't selling it Johnny Crowe is selling it so we can list it once we buy it for 450 or 500 we could even 420 baby and they have to come to us yeah and we're gonna be moving around you'll be like oh yeah sorry you know what we're not there anymore right now or get them hooked so then they think they're buying it and then destroy them by eliminating their options in the GPU or we could jack up the price at the last second like when they like we'll pull an opposite of like Craigslist oh sorry you know we had you know we've had a lot of people contact us about it it's more now should we actually do it that I think we okay I think we take the cards even if we only keep one of them I bet we can even if we decide to flip one for 350 okay we still only paid 450 for a 980ti that's still a great deal cuz like look this 970 is 250 980ti is a lot faster than 970 you know a lot faster mm-hmm you know what I'm feeling pretty good so there's a z170 board I think very much for for the z170 do you think we can afford a z170 system because that means we need what has well like we have to find a 40 46 70 K or something no z1 70s what's we can do Skylink yeah but that's gonna be too expensive there's no way we can get skylake stuff for that cheap but what about thanks 99 then it's cheaper oh you want to try and get an X 99 chip remember I still want SLI GPUs that's gonna be worth more to us because it's for gaming benchmarks and only two CPU heavy ones like honestly I think we should still explore the AMD option here fx-8150 plus moment let's say suits motherboard 245 including cooler but it's only look at the core speed it's 1.4 gigahertz yeah but that's probably just like throttle oh that tells us the board does that board have SLI support and five a 97 hour 2.0 I don't think it does what are we going across fine no no I want it to work okay but there might be other listings because if we're gaming at 4k I don't think the CPU is gonna be that much of a bottleneck oh oh oh we're going on the road baby 980ti we're gonna pick meadows oh really far away this is a dual ninety at the ends right we're doing that okay we should trance it out there we should try and find some food and we should just go to like a grocery store like buy some bread that's pit pedals yeah no no but it'll be like this part of it so but it's fun it's we're right here yeah it's fine so if we had a car how long did that take us know half an hour your office is closer to that know what I'm saying Allah right who's this hello above the SSD sorry okay great we have one issue we're a little bit far from you we're downtown Vancouver could you beat us at a Sky train station reagents okay I'll try to see if we can get to you and I'll give you a call back later I'd like to today or in the next day or two we're just having some issues getting out there you guys already know dbrand they make the precision cut vinyl skins that make your phone look nice and protect it from incidental scuffs and scratches but today no no not that today is something new this is the grip and it's not just another phone case it is the grittiest phone case that you have ever seen and it's got this super cool like patented impact protection technology that works super awesome and it's fully integrated with the bronze customization meaning that you can use any D brand skin with your grip so check it out today we've got it linked in the video description ok this this is the this is the speak now or forever hold your peace movie do you disagree with the strategy make it work or flip one okay you got three days so my fears for the coming week is that we've underestimated our budget even though the budget is so large from a likely you think that that's that's 1337 that's a lot money to spend but look at Craigslist it's very you look at all the apps it's quite though the stock is low for good hardware the guy with the motherboard ended 90 I let's say we can get that 980ti for 450 how far is the things to get around the console spend so our bus tickets they're cheap so they're like three to seven dollars each this is a three zone trip so we have to pay like a lot but on the bus we can whip out our laptops and be working so we're taking the bus unless you have a better plan know the bus is good I think the bus everybody will bus it okay let's go okay let's do it oh my god it's a 46 minute car ride or an hour and 45 minutes public transport route so we have to take a bus we're gonna have to walk and then take a train or we take two buses in the train or two trains on the bus or we can eight-hour hike there do you want to do that no if we had bikes we could get there in just as much time in just a little bit over two hours the priority is making the best use of sourcing leads so okay let me just go move my bike and then I'll be right back I'm not finding any CPAs man that concerns me with this is the amount of time that's gonna be taken try to get this SSD talk to this other person that's on the email my to haggle him down there the one that's just north of us a little bit so what do we tell them I can come get it right now and I'll call them because they asked for that about a hundred bucks I would just tell them this pump will dry as $400 yeah or you'd hit them like 1/10 of the breed to us yeah look like in terms of just parts right now I've here it's like junk I know so this be a new element of scrapyard bores our camera people don't feel like transiting or biking or doing whatever with us so they're just gonna drive around to the locations so we actually have to vlog scrap yard worse okay you know what though I don't know if we can go straight to the bus stop because um no not because of food because of actually a little tip that I think max inadvertently gave to me so she was like am I allowed to tell you stuff about travel and I'm like no and she's like oh well never mind you'll figure it out and I remembered like it's like stupid stuff like this right like I've taken public transit probably twice in the last eight years oh my god you need exact change what for the busting yeah and how much you said they are so why don't we go to a grocery store get something to eat get on the way and you'll get some change but all this extensive food it's not even that unreasonable I just don't want to spend any money from our from our stash how much of these my wife always shops for the food so there's so much food product pieces though let's go buddy hold on a second first you think he's 230 and per Brad is 230 this is the better deal good calorie yeah and let's get the tomato put in tomato inside and some ham slice oh never mind there's six bucks but then we got plenty of here for like the whole day and if Linus cares so much about all the calories stuff let me tell you for four slices you're getting 90 calories combine that with 300 calories of the bread boom here's 500 calories from Neal man okay I don't know if we're gonna be able to afford tomato what if we do having tomatoes if we can't afford tomato we can't afford a cheap okay fair enough what about avocado that's what all the young kids spend all their money on is avocado right I would rather get it to me okay we're buying Tomatoes daddy he was very practical in the calorie intake of the food items of looking at particularly buns and food and not so much of about the the quality or the taste so that was but like what - chunk of bread this with the practically - sunflowers actually like pretty heavy and this is a hundred and ten calories per slice while I'm super thrilled that Dimitri is my partner for scrap yard Wars and shopping for technology because he's a great partner for that I'm really glad I don't have to grocery shop with him and he's like oh wow there's like so much sugar in that friend of bread and this is enough bread for us to carry around with us for like realistically today and tomorrow like we can have a couple sandwiches a day each for three days and still have some leftover 1273 spent we have no hardware yet unwired food acquired and i have some really good news he's gonna meet us at braid skytrain station yes we don't have to go all the way to Pitt Meadows and you know what the picture of cash money was were sold of yeah he replied to me he's like yeah I wanted to check about the cash cuz you never know you know goofballs on Craigslist right and maybe of saving that to him yeah and so he's like yeah no problem I'll leave in 20 minutes that'll put me there in about about an hour so I'm fixing though he takes us an hour to get there timing a lines yeah homicides I am like him I am liking how our day is going so far we got dude we got what we got noms for the bus Dimitri's going to ask this guy with the garden if he can borrow his tap to to wash our tomato it's a bold plan bold plan I think the guys telling him to screw off no no I think he's telling him I think he's telling where this happen tell him how to operate it look at that I do realize how inexperienced Linus was good transportation bus is coming what oh wait hold on the after school bus he confused the garbage truck a school bus and a regular truck with a bus he's like the bus is coming it isn't regular white why would you call that a city bus like what he's doing and this was right when I was washing my tomatoes in this community garden so he's like bus is coming so I had to rush out and get my tomatoes wash I'm like a giving Madhuri's meal for my savage it's not that the only thing that concerns me is I bet those guys aren't gonna spend any money on me really but I overheard them talking about it I think they're planning to just write to make sure they have the biggest budget for pools yeah beat how can you make good decisions yeah fine enough he's down there you can't this is why we're doing what we're doing that I got so if we're going from where are we've done this okay so we're going from 29 to brave okay so that's two zones okay for Ted seriously I got all the coins for nothing we'll use the bus tomorrow thanks oh you can't know it you can do coins there oh yeah but it's not gonna give me change I bet you can eat 20 here no way yeah but you don't have a 25 cents all right well I have a 25 but I don't want to waste five cents I'll give you change now fine I'll try I don't think it's gonna you don't think you'll get a nickel back itself oh no way they gave you a nickel back okay the Canadian band oh and someone else left a nickel before hi this is James I emailed you about your SSD oh yeah okay yeah I'd like to come get it right now we don't we don't have a view or anything so we probably just walk it would take us about an hour would you be flexible on the price at all we're looking at comparable drives at about $100 you put it at 130 you put it at 130 we found comparable drives in a few different locations but they're just a little far away for us and we'd like to get one that's closer okay sounds good okay what's what's dry was that was that was a date for nearly fifteen I don't think it's listening all right later okay so the challenge with the end eBay system I think is gonna be finding someone who's got a high-end enough motherboard to have SLI compatibility but they also bought an AMD system No see this guy has an FX 6300 for 65 bucks no clothing and no motherboard so we have to find an empty board separately I just heard back from the guy with the core i7 920 the rampage extreme and six gigs of RAM I'm like hey are you willing to do it for 200 no ok well I give them a pose for flexibility here's a reality check for that other day.i seven 960 motherboard eight gigs ram 68 70 one terabyte case and a high current gamer from antic for 395 off this board has sli though SLI is turning out to be kind of a problem line is this our station man I'm going I'm going I'm going good okay go 55 - I got this okay why would I click on a link - hello hey how you doing I was calling about your Craigslist ad for your editing PC how firm are you on the system having to be sold as a whole I mean I it's like a really good package deal but I already have like 4k editing monitors and stuff I'm just looking for another tower to add to my office are you selling a video card video cards no no not him yeah earlier this morning about that same thing so I don't know what's okay what if I took it all in and I came to get it I don't actually have a car I'm visiting Vancouver right now in business so that's why my number comes up out of town but if I was to come to you and get it what's the best price you could give me for the whole package what's your bill ability you know I'm heading to downtown actually later on do you know what grab is I think I'm looking at a map of where it's at right now or only an 18 minute walk away from there yeah if we're good on this then virtual handshake and let's make it happen hello this wheel in front of the in theory yes actually that's me you're not Johnny your lunch this is a regular phone this is a gripped phone this is for comedic effect so get a grip coming soon available at the link in the video description love our videos and want to see them sooner join Flo plane at the link in the video description it's got the next episode of scrapyard Wars
