yeah scrapyard Wars scrapyard war shoe and thus crackling I started off the morning by picking up this case and a fan and a PowerBar I'll explain why the power bar in a little bit but first things first I need to do a case swap I didn't realize the bottom hard drive cage was riveted in that will have to be removed but it's fine for now I bought this core 3000 but it's dusty and gross as hell none of the pictures you had on Craigslist showed how dusty it was but it's still a nicer overall case than the one that I had and I didn't have any time left to buy anything else so I was like whatever my just want to spend my money on it honestly if I had more time I might not even even accepted it I probably would have accepted it I just would have hopefully had more time to clean it what fractal Josh will say when he sees that I mutilated his case within like minutes of having it I'm gonna say I thought you had style man stop making Linus look good what am I gonna see next for me socks and sandals just remember buddy Karma's a bitch trying to get the pump and the radiator higher so they can clear the power supply just fill up your computer you just be like alright except you won't have to fill it up because the computers going too short when each other turn it on so don't worry about it you know I don't even care anymore as long as the loop works screw the computer what's going to end up happening here is I'm going to end up gluing a whole bunch of these cables not intentionally but it's going to happen a whole bunch of those cables are going to be glued together then I just have to try to use whatever is available to me to try to make it soft leaking I have a tiny bit more epoxy not much though and I have one full pack of sugar ooh and one and a quarter possibly a big stuff of more sugar the chances of this right here not leaking are like 1% I 199 percent belief that it's going to leak I mean can you imagine if I have to present a leaky system to the judges so we need a bigger piece of copper from the metal Mart to put over top of our CPU here now was that a WTF look or what I just realized I'm holding an invoice for one of their competitors that batters me I just realize it is not well for what it's worth the thing we have isn't going to work I don't know not the stuff you made for us the other day yeah maybe basically that yeah but three and five-eighths by three and five-eighths okay so we're we're hooped then let's go to metal market and up where is this oh thank you letter Street we're on its way above it sponsored boss that's the Colossus all right can nothing go right today and now there's a freaking train absolutely brilliant so we're just going to sit here wait for a train to go through completely the center of Langley City everywhere we shop people keep telling me they hope I have a great day not having a great day this put me by every possible way of accounting for it over budget we couldn't find the mounting hardware again so just going to whoa whoa wait a minute Linus is cheating wait a minute why am i acting surprised introducing Luca Vinnie's all new patented power pad equipped with a six foot cable to pull yourself in super far away yeah your stuff that isn't gonna work at all it's gonna be covering of water and metal it's gonna short itself out and then short itself out again I'm gonna go leak test it almost almost this works and whatever leaked didn't actually leak much I don't even know what it is because the cloth-like didn't even get wet really how we watch long enough I'm bound to do something clever eventually copy sugar new plan we're going to find a much bigger object to coil around maybe one of these five-gallon buckets and we are going to make an external coil that we put on the side panel here we have no choice I don't know if it'll fit it will fit in it what if we went right on top we kind of have like spread it out a little bit actually that could kind of work alright so John is sleeping so we're gonna try and get our copper tubing inside our case somehow let's drill a hole I'm sure someone's gonna point this out I know this is a wood hole saw I know this is steel I know that's a problem just so we're all on the same page this puppy okay let's go see if John's home awake I'm gonna send this video to John when we're done and he's just gonna be like what the hell he's gonna be he's going to be amazed that we got as far as we did without his help okay so we've finished cutting out the little cutaway that we need for the caps that are next to the socket but what we haven't done is actually finished the surface of the CPU block where it's going to make contact with the CPU so for that we actually need to change the bit so this is what we're using yeah this little guy here is it's more for milling that means that there's a cutting blade here and a cutting blade over here and that goes in takes the place of this little bit here so it goes in like this and then I Center everything and I just set it up so it the next time it goes past here it's going to be taking a bit of thous clean this up it'll make it look like it you got it in the store now the college-educated among you will have probably noticed that there are some definite marks on the bottom of the block that's actually not as important as having a flat surface because our thermal con pound is going to fill these little micro scratches in the surface here smooth those out too oh we can do that too yeah yeah yeah good old-fashioned sandpaper not like I said none of the judges will ever see and appreciate the block manufacturing that went on all they're going to see is this copper plate with a couple not been sticking out of it they're not going to they're not going to know what's going on under the hood here so I want the audience to at least appreciate the magnificence of our water block here now we could have done better if we've done certain things and I'm aware of the things that we could have done better like for example having a rubber gasket sealing this or not using mixed metals but hey for a homemade block that we know nothing about its performance yet pretty darn good someone might be wondering how you drain this loop the answer is you don't ever do that it's impossible as far as I can tell considering everything is epoxy together it would literally be impossible to in sleep unless you inverted the computer and then poured it out of there but if you're going to do that this stuff at the bottom isn't fixed and everything's probably going to break I'm just I'm stuck here for a while I have to hold each side of this tightly so that water doesn't come through so the epoxy can hopefully dry how long does it take usable strength in eight hours we're kind of we're kind of stuck for about 30 minutes here so all that's left is to solder our tubing onto the CPU block fuse the CPU block with some kind of a sealant probably just silicone because we're not at the point where we can do anything fancy anymore due up our reservoir and build the computer that's where we're at it is now the end of the fourth day on scrap yard Wars - the judges are going to have to be extremely generous for me to get anything resembling a competitive score in this competition and give it one more coat of epoxy but I think we're done I think that's it yeah one more coat of epoxy but I'm basically calling it right now I was gonna do one more coat but I'm finished I'll bring out to the garage after this and just let it sit all right so as you can see it's getting dark Terrans gone home for the night but John out of the graciousness of his heart is still helping me because we still have to attach the pump to the reservoir and I think we've got a plan wasn't my plan I think we've got a plan that's going to work if she fits she sits just like that all right now we wanted a clear silicone for this but Home Depot is a little closed at the moment so we went with a white one it's not as pretty but it should seal up just nicely we'll know in half an hour we're going to use our sealant and four screws here to close up the block yeah then I actually had almost no hand whatsoever in actually making silicone seal yep here we go so it's finally pour time I have very little confidence in this seal at the for the power cord for the pump but at the very least we can find out how everything else is doing no obviously kept a pump outlet that's the most essential because worst case scenario our judges aren't that water cooling savvy so we could just we could just try to get away with one here and just have our water level down here okay so that caulk is clearly dissolving either because in half an hour it's not cured enough or because it just plain wasn't going to work for this oh I had 100% silicone in my bathroom drawer our pump doesn't have enough head pressure to start our loop we might be able to tip it to make it a little bit easier on our pump the good news is our CPU block isn't leaking yet so that's the good news there isn't much good news right now that was all the good news I had whoa hey look at that okay so basically what we're doing right now is cleansing the system of all the junk and debris and and dissolved crap that's in there now then what I'm going to do is take the CPU block and the reservoir parts that are bad apart redo them with silicone let it set overnight and hope that by 24 hours they mean 12 hours for better for worse this computer is liquid cooled well you know what hold on hold on let's go ahead and ask who you guys think is gonna win I think Luke will win scrapyard wares to the scrap earning he's taller I think Luke will win the and we all lose I think Luke is gonna win scrap yours sorry Linus love you both and myself rooster who do I think is gonna win think Luke is gonna win because just uh I think Linus will win because he knows how to climb trees which you know is really important for building computers after all welcome to scrapyard wars to the finale we're doing the format a little bit differently this time because it's not as simple as oh well looks benchmark it and find out who wins so we actually have a panel of four judges including Taryn Brandon and the two NYX so one person for each of us who toiled with us through the entire endeavor and two people who have never seen the system first section is creativity worth ten points next up is effectiveness worth another ten points then aesthetics ten more points acoustics ten more points and finally overall just general category ten points total of fifty the overall is very much up to the judgment of well the judges so if we did things like went over time went over budget or utilized lifelines so if we got outside help with our project that we didn't directly pay for then they're going to have to factor that in to our scores I would like to point out that it was actually just four lifelines and going over time and going over budget we're actually like completely breaking everything but it's okay we'll move forward I guess so you guys can actually come around here or facing the system here first of all I would like to welcome all the judges here today to the unveiling of the ghetto fr 3000 your honor Dabney here first thing that I would like to point out first thing that I would like to point out is the patent pending easy fill technology so as you will see in a moment this goes into the computer and is actually the reservoir so you can fill the computer directly or drain it to view directly just to the top very easy to do another thing in our patent-pending easy technology is the were inspired by Tesla technology so what we did was we introduced the power panel not the power wall but the power panel so on the back of the computer here if you guys kind of rotate around a little bit you can see that there's a mounted power bar and actually only one power cable actually leaves the computer so you can plug plug your monitor into there you can plug your speaker's into there all of your power can plug directly into the computer with our patented patent-pending easy power panel so once you open the side of the case you actually get to the challenging parts of this build so you can see we spared no cost I don't know if I'm going to mention brand names but yes it is a high-quality high-quality water ball eco-friendly actually yes this is this is a the lookk industries luk industries yes as you can see here the benchmark is currently running and we're at a not too bad 55 degrees let's go ahead and see what the judges think I actually discovered something quite interesting if you want to hop on over here I just saw this little thing leaking a little bit of water into the power supply oh no I have real oil oh no is this a functional build mmm it's not we saw that water leaking straight into the into the power supply which is not good at that feature so honestly how bad do we know that leaking okay so aside from our bias judge we think that the build may be functional if he fixes the link but at this point we're not entirely sure ladies and gentlemen gentlemen gentlemen gentlemen you've seen the zero now you're gonna see the hero welcome to the unveiling of the winner of scrapyard Wars 2 my system is horrible oh good this is the uber cooler magic machine 5000 it features what I call and this is my personal trademark the hmmmm what do I call it I remember what I call it and this is a copper coil cooling system or CCS for short so let's start by firing up the system just to demonstrate that it does in fact work you can see here at the front of my case all Bay's are populated by either a drive or a bay cover I also have an eSATA port for outstanding connectivity very modern two USB 2.0 ports my air intakes are here this door folds out more than a typical door you can see it's on two hinges so that if you accidentally bump it it doesn't break off as easily quiet huh I think that's a 10 out of 10 for acoustics not that I can tell the judges too much about how to judge the system but that's a 10 out of 10 now you can clearly see the copper coil is very stable okay this is the moment everyone brace your space yourselves this is a thing of beauty in here okay hold on there we go you see that security it doesn't lock but it's so hard to remove you'd think it was locked so this my friends is the heart and soul of this machine now there is some water down here that is old water that is old water from this last night when this was still leaking now I have to confess I did go a little bit over time probably about 18 to 20 hours overtime now we've gone with the what I call a camel top system where the cooling hump is located on top of the system instead of using fittings soldered or braised to the ends of our copper we have actually just zip tied tubing directly onto our copper pipe actually it seems to be working okay is approximately another innovative cost-saving measure and I'm saving this one is the fact that the CPU block is using sawed off pieces of this tubing soldered to the copper top of our fully custom CNC cut water block as fittings so we brought our budget by returning about $40 worth of fittings that we had already purchased by returning it we brought our total spent on the water cooling down to 198 dollars just shy of the 200 mark for our system we paid 280 and I bought some Ninjago ninjas that I was planning to put in it but they weren't they weren't very posable and I forgot if you want to come over here judges and have a look at where we're sitting we've been under load for about seven minutes while I've been talking and we're sitting at around 87 degrees on the CPU which gets us fully turbotap on our core i7 930 which is a very high heat output CPU by the way full performance not the lowest temperatures but incredibly quiet with the CPU actually being passively cooled by the copper loop but wait there's more if you had a little bit more money to spend than we did you could get yourself a room fan oscillating room fan right there cools the coil cools you cools the coil cools you hot summer day computers good you're good everyone's good and that is my presentation Thank You judges I think it's time the judges pick a winner and pick a sore loser for loot system 138 points the possible total scoring for Linus's system out of 200 100 131 yes I can't when you got that close to me let's actually face got a lifeline almost a whole day of extra time thanks for watching scrapyard Wars 2 we will definitely be back with more special scrapping like in scratch like in scribble like instant like your scrap button and we could have a special celebrity guest on the next episode of scrap yard very a very hard nipples yeah just see you next time
