BEST Value PC Challenge - Scrapyard Wars Season 3 - Episode 7 (Finale)

2015-11-29
this episode of scrapyard wars was brought to you by D brand I can run now I hope got 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 yo yo yo yo hold on hold on pause everything what's going on right now with install ah well Luke's not letting me put my front bezel back on because it's after 4 o'clock what else 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 fight my computer is a hundred percent done hardware wise uh-huh ok I love how both the other contestants are taking more time to do yo the can you 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 troll system deserves to see the light of day so who's gonna put all this in here there's nobody look we're not coming through with any kind of monster computer or anything the car'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 there for unveiling the performance stage three we unveil the prices that we paid so Austin you're up first alright so introducing the greatest system I've ever built that's not saying much Oh what I doesn't have a power supply on the top it has a cars flying 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 Rui 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 2 you can have it so is it and he goes and he goes but I don't think he's gonna show up he's got a California number you totally got me all right so this needs some serious power this power supply is purely for the graphics card yeah which is it is a 69 9 I saw that I actually almost went for that that's 60 90 so we got talking dual GPUs we also have a core i7 2609 other boards 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 scrap inator there you go all right intro alright well alright this looks awesome this oh 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 I'll start right now I'll start at the top this is an IP IB LLB 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 this is a broken Audigy - 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 VV it's awesome litora 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 some way the 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 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 what oh he has another computer what is this I think this is all just a waste BC and 16 it looks like a fairly decent card I think he has a whole nother because I think he went to a scrapyard and like actually got all this done for like basically this is the leaning tower of scraps uh 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 oh this this is my Q 6600 yes I went Q 6600 again four gigs of ddr2 memory there okay my 7970 ghost 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 motherboard this is what i'm saying he found somewhere he says like $18 on this entire rig literally well I have a 7970 I mean come on okay so 25 yeah so that my friends is the leaning tower of scraps so can I just ask a question rip what's the deal with all this stuff if you have this computer we can't ask you what price right now but you get to some crap jump place and gone with a bunch of this and you said this is a Radeon 1650 that's a 1650 it works but I'm factoring all this into my price okay so I'll get the scrap whole out of the way it does actually really sting Rose I knew it oh I knew it yes legally told you there must be some stupid-ass question on the first day basically this isn't why is there fishing line on it so handsome I like this immediately so it's it's a queue 6,600 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 fox but yeah scrap yard wars we'll be right back after these messages this episode of scrap yard wars is brought to you by D brand 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 be brand calm slash scrapyard Wars here we go benchmark number one Cinebench r15 three two one go and I think we all know who is winning this one yeah maybe this possibly oh yeah we have eight threads which is sort of an issue isn't Austin 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 cuz I I'm feeling pretty good I'm crushing Luke yeah actually what's going on I think don't you guys have the same CPU yeah mine has some issues 615 and to John's 316 almost double 316 for Linus here that likes 267 367 that's not bad alright so our first benchmark scores are in shall we run PC mark next yes that's good ready three two one go okay I'm counting on Austin's like crashing or something because he's gonna crush the PC mark score as well has crashed so what do we do now I don't know do I get to try one more time because I've had it run I think it's fair technically says he has to immediately talk to you I think I'm gonna I'm gonna be able to leave me on this one mostly cuz I also want a little lenient if I have some issues in a minute so that was mainly your rule I heard you're the one that was hard for I know I just I don't think that's why it crashed yeah so what's what's the deal with this doesn't that look great yeah yours the students that might be because of your Georgie do you think it's just like nah no that's part of the image manipulation benchmarking no is it's not doing that this is what mine looks like yeah li-ming's super screwy look at that yep I guess I gotta I guess I got a dial back to my overclock Wow turn it off yep which is food yeah which is really chewy smoothie duty 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 works 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 basically amounted to about two-thirds of the score that I got now we're gonna have a look at our PC mark results how are we gonna submit results are we just saving yeah click Submit results and let's find out how much it affected me in PC mark my score 2-0 that does not sound up particularly right oh okay so Austin's machine straight up dirt and I apparently crushed Luke but that's how is your CPU image manipulation hard drive importing pictures of windows photo gallery yes I just all the SSD paid off hard core you just got creamed alright 3dmark fire strike time let's do it 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 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 asked your C for you is probably nothing when crossbars all right I guess it is that it's easy yeah okay so Oh like Luke's crushing us both don't worry about there's the CPU opposing it was in my second testing launch water turning burgers go Jordan hope 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 a lot slower uh Wow yes you just crash dude yeah oh wow rip what does how to reset your graphics no no oh I'm running at stock settings alright I'm in the second test hmm yeah I get but it's always happy there was no lower enthusiasts yeah the reenactment was flawless okay so let's put Astin scoring five 46 55 80 hi are you barely baby I beat Austin by higher strike 55:46 sources 5588 that's pretty close alright watch your ears so uh looks a little behind be fair away do you which is exactly where I like him so let's go ahead and Austin and I are gonna start the Tomb Raider benchmark right hmm well that's lower than woah that's lower than I thought it would be okay no that's on average 109 that's yeah okay so Austin comes in at 109 even with me coming in at eighty four point nine 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 r9 270 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 system we are running him off of an uninterruptible power supply to condition the power because I've seen this before we're cheap power supplies we'll 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 we don't want to penalize him for bad wall power for my system we are apparently rerunning my Sinha bitch I was doing it so there was I was doing it so that there was something running 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 cuz the UPS is dirty wall power is that fair it had nothing I think at this point we always need to take a week do I get another crack with my overclock yes like that's just like a spiral maybe that is the dirty wall power okay so you're gonna ups but 300 yeah come on we're done here I don't know like what it's I don't care 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'm good these guys hey it's done it's done and 97-80 oh so even with added SSD I was almost able to feel mine's just really low on that one yeah oh man but you crushed the graphics you do crush the graphic I think we should let Luke just use his old benchmark score so the final scores are Austin with four hundred and fifty five out of five hundred points Linus with 362 out of 500 points and Luke with 386 out of 500 points so now all that's left is the cash count I don't know what any of these coins are this is a dollar five 989 I just used my calculator first yeah let me let me do that real quick I said I spent three ten I spent two hundred and eighteen dollars final price per dollar course really high wait score per dollar higher is better good job hmm officially rekt minus one by 40% oh yeah yeah okay let's go let's go let's go I had actually this is kind of a funny story if I had lost by forty 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 I'm gonna fleece you slightly less now I was betting heavy on my SSD I I paid $38 for my SSD Wow which is a good deal still yeah yeah but when you consider my 238 dollar budget dude I paid $25 for my 102 gig hard drive 25 bucks I paid $10 for mine you got rectangle so okay my motherboard and CPU I supposed to have a 95 50 and some other board that guy I showed you I had 18 emails back and forth and stuff just as useful 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 motherboards 35 that hard drive was 10 all that Ram was 40 I should have got 4 gigs I think I would have been way more competitive I got 4 gigs all that ran 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 but it it was 30 bucks ok so 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 misjudge the budget and I to be totally honest my build publishing to work 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 second to reduce my build shouldn't have worked either the motherboard would you see how that motherboard was packed my Paris might barely works we were all yeah we that happens every time you it's scrap yard work don't worry about 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 having anything to show oh man that was that was brutal but do you feel good about not getting disqualify feel so good like the second I finish the bills like you know what I don't even care if I come dead last I just built the system this crazy contraption it actually works so happy I'm still happy which is good because you did come dead last I did all right how do you feel about your performance today honestly pretty good I'm happy with the freaking Vancouver stuff um I think I actually did quite well you just got a crazy deal which is that scrapyard Wars 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 over clocks and everything he still would have won I just would've 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 gonna drop 20 bucks off my score here I wouldn't have tipped the guy 20 bucks that's crazy I wanna see and my FPS per dollar score would have been literally more than double Austin's and would have been ah about 25% better than Luke's so I feel really great about my performance overall did you 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 it is like it's 100 fair because there was no sound benchmarks but that is if it was a system you are using this little brew only everything right yeah 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 mitral system cuz it was awesome part of the problem was I didn't even have time to install windows on yeah what overall had fun I've had a blast it was so much me too interesting because you don't know what they okay yeah that was the hardest was honestly I was getting pretty close to guessing near the end but the whole time iteration yeah you had no idea what you were competing against it was of price yeah right why do you were spending what you're spending oh you're confusing elephants so thanks for watching guys I hope you enjoyed scrapyard Wars season 3 we'll see you again next time drop a like on the video and subscribe you know like hey guys alright awkward new high fives yeah
