okay sorry hose is called washing Bay fantastic alright so I'm here at hua Xiong Bay yeah perfect thank you where's Scotty from strange part so I'm getting me some strange parts yeah in China which is actually exactly what we're doing so in this like gigantic tech mall thing they have everything from components like switches to computer parts to drones to cryptocurrency crap mobile phones pretty much you name it they've got it here so I don't really have any objective other than to go shopping and see exactly what it is that I can buy with my little stack of Canadian rubles here so uh wish me luck and hopefully that's not for me yeah I think we're good this video is brought to you by Corsairs subsidiary it's a mid-tower gaming case featuring premium tempered glass and aluminum construction removable table fan trays and more check it out at the link below I think this is gonna be an uphill battle to get them to even recognize what those are let alone know the value of them like what is this yeah yeah right yep this is the world's most helpful error message the transaction is cancelled for some reason operation timeout thank you okay so like this is the kind of stuff that I wish we had a shop like this like we were trying to do a piece a little while ago where we wanted lit buttons all or like like big fun buttons that we could press and if we could have just walked into a mall and bought them that would have made my main risk the cool thing about here particularly for buttons is you can actually come in and touch them right so you like the button feel is super important oh my god I already found something I need entire bags of motherboard standoffs I was trying to buy just a bag of computer screws only place I could find for it was on eBay pricing was totally unreasonable yeah it will be very reasonable here smartwatches yep totally 100% real beats these are probably like somebody my real semi real yeah like refurb type right okay yeah wow this place is enormous crazy right this is probably one of 20 buildings honestly it's overwhelming yeah okay so here's stuff I mostly recognize right here there's like a bunch of mining gear you know I can't miners and what else do they go mining power supplies get an Apple cash machines ROG something something looks like very similar skews yep I'm just looking just looking I know I'm just looking around it's okay thank you I mean this is the kind of thing you would never find in a retail store back home this is like dual socket like server boards and stuff like that can you ask how much this 1800 watt power supply is don't rush in to go eager there's like 50 bucks 50 bucks yeah $50 for an 1800 watt power supply yeah it doesn't feel like in 1801 oh my god it's actually only rated for 1600 also this is a mining only power supply so it only does 12 volt this is just Almighty these are mining specific cards right here these ones without coolers and they actually do have a display out but like just the one Wow look at this stuff yeah so they've got things like these mining specific boards and this is used a demo board here's a brand of motherboard that I've certainly never heard of sometimes it's just fascinating like you walk up to a booth and you kind of go what are you doing you know like if you really need a B 250 M H d3 or a WD green SSD or a bison fan then you're good but like so I mean this is indicative of the markets which is just like a high degree of specialization in booths but it's also just like a different way of doing business there's just not a lot of like vertical integration it's everybody does their one little thing and has friends that do the other it's fundamental problem for PC stuff is that what's this pricing across regions has really leveled out yeah that's a wonderful question I'm next sure what this is doesn't seem to be in any sort of hurry to tell these TMF is this a tough like totem gear I mean they still have LGA 775 motherboards here like brand-new that's incredible oh wow okay I can't even like focus my eyes at one point she was burning paper with one of these so just be careful oh yeah it's this one how much is that one this one yeah I don't know I'll ask me oh here we go oh my god watch the reflections on the glass I think my kids would end up going blind if they found it yes yes that's true yeah I'll pass I'll pass on this one oh yeah yeah yeah okay yeah yeah I'm okay I'm okay I'm okay yeah if I decide okay okay okay my recommendation is if you think you want something you should just buy it well while you're there yeah so what I figured out at this point is I definitely need some kind of an objective because you could wander around in here for weeks and still have no idea where the hell you are and I have so yeah if you have something specific you want to do I'm happy to try and make that happen as best we can okay I want the cheapest laptop in this entire mode cheapest laptop in the entire me yeah let's do that let's see how usable it is yeah okay I'm trying to think where we would go for that um but yeah okay let's maybe jump buildings sure as you've seen this one to the other place that has a lot of laptops and stuff okay sounds good yeah it's an unusual thing going into somewhere with the objective to buy the worst thing that you can find I mean if they weren't trying I don't know how they could have made two completely different buildings full of completely different people and things look so identical once you start coming here more it does actually like you do notice differences there is a different mix of stuff here but right but it's a different mix it's not fundamentally different yes it is subtle laptops he wants to buy cheap laptop laptop yeah actually yeah Eric can you jump in okay we want the cheapest possible laptop like so one problem here where the really nice guy from upstairs directed us is that none of this is off-brand this is like Lenovo Samsung a sous tell this is a start set 6000 what yen Arnie RMB 1 yeah that's about 6 - 1 2 / 6 it's about $1,000 okay well I mean that's about what like an ende would start at back at home like I don't think we're gonna find anything that weird and or cheap here tell you what what do you edit your videos on final cut or premiere my final cuts might I've had enough choice but my editor uses premier here's what we're doing we're building an editing rig for strange parts as editor because when in doubt and I can't figure out what to make a video about I just build a computer well so it no that's what we're doing let's do it so that's looks let's go back to PC component okay go back upstairs hear any sure so my editor is in Mexico could be my editing rig or my transcoder like I don't care what you do with it okay well your editors gonna watch this video so if you don't send it to them then you know what guys it's true I'm gonna have to sort that out oh no Linus has stars in his eyes here oh my god who's looking devious I think I've fallen in love it's actually like the construction of this is not bad - like from a distance it looked like like plastic garbage but it's actually aluminum gutters lights proper yeah so it's exhaust going out either side with these like baffles and then the whole thing is a big intake Wow how much is a Ferrari definitely real Ferrari power supply to go with it dang let's look around a little more I mean we might find something else but I don't know if I could love anything more than that case sorry hon I'm feeling good we're off to a very good start here look at this stuff that is some ghetto ass water cooling supplies oh what's the point of having something on display if you can't sell it oh wow that radiator weighs almost nothing that is aluminum AF and I actually don't even know if this hear that crackling okay 15 bucks for this though not that bad not that bad okay let's continue our quest that's jumping out at me as having sufficient RGB nests okay this that is my kind of RGB and looks a lot more sensible in terms of pricing as well okay I expected that okay that's pretty cool it doesn't actually have a microphone though that is totally cheating the truth yeah that's just cheating so that so the question was like should we haggled over this right and so my rule of thumb is like if I think it's a fair price then I don't like I don't push on it fine most people in the market are not like marking stuff up because it's like a sale there's just not the expectation that like critically buying one that they're gonna like I mean really got you but one thing I need to know is if I have anywhere to mount my radiator inside so Eric can you ask him if I can take it down and open it up okay you should be in pretty good shape okay yep I'm sold what's good to me so I know I said that you don't screw around on the power supply in the motherboard yeah but I am definitely gonna be finding brands that I don't recognize for both of them okay because we are gonna have we're gonna have the Chinese PC experience Wow colorful makes motherboards yeah that's fun ah okay so I want to know how much for that one it's a battle ax I don't know what the brand is I can't read it but it says battle ax on it yeah that's a brown one at the bottom there's nothing on here that would indicate sort of what it is but it does have USB three colorful oh it's a colorful world okay do you do you have anything bigger full ATX here why don't we why don't we just pick up a board here let's just let's just talk to our buddy here yeah all right do you have a motherboard CPU memory okay I'm gonna try that again this what motherboards do you have do you have anything like full-size ATX more slots what about memory okay so that's an 8 gig Kingston stick weight it's 100 bucks for one stick okay no hold on yeah I don't think that's very good pricing I think we can do better elsewhere you gotta start buying stuff but we're gonna run a time here does anyone here speak English no I think that one's okay okay so we're reaching a deal on rising chip and be 350 motherboard but if I understand correctly he doesn't have stock here he's just gonna go to one of the other stores and buy it so maybe or there's a storeroom somewhere else that's pretty common - it's like there'll be another booth somewhere that has the stock that's less like visible than they take this I want to go back to shopping on behind fun fact we're paying more than the other guy quoted us but at this point I don't care fine so here's the situation we have like 20 minutes before this whole place closes down we have like 2,500 RMB left to get a GPU storage a power supply and a cooler because clearly this tubing is not gonna do us any good I hate this this is not a great shopping experience that I'm having I am stressed out okay so these guys have Galax 1060 s let's find out how much Galax is he quoting mm yeah okay we're gonna have a casually on hold on a second worst-case scenario all we still need is storage and power supply because we can use the stockroom where okay we can just pull this radiator in the back for lulz and I'm gonna need a screwdriver well the other option is to go find our repair boots and deal I'd like you and a Chinese guy putting this together together that's an option I think we'll have to move on we don't want that I'm determined to get the rest of the stuff here so here we go we need SSD power supply do you have 10 16 is that it oh okay so 23 60 that's a little better and then I can't even tell what the wattage of these things are 600 watt all right so we'll take this one we're definitely getting at least one product where I don't recognize the brand at all I've never heard of an attack on Eric's trying to get a 60 r&b off and he's offering us 10 which is about $2 $2 discount fine I don't care anymore okay okay fine we got a two dollar discount man you know like 10 years from now I'm gonna I'm gonna have like $2 I'm gonna like desperately need it to take a bus somewhere yep and that's gonna be all I have and I mean really thank God Eric saved me that $2 on that power supply SSD what is the total over here it was 30 30 50 can I owe you some money okay all right do we need to go back and get our motherboard CPU combo so we've got a small problem the escalator is caged up now this place is closing in like two minutes and we have to go down to the bottom floor to the ATM we may not be able to go back to the store that is a potential bar so we might walk out of here with a case it would be kind of a dick move we set them around the markets all day that's right I think well I think we'll get anywhere to make it work all right this is what we got this is these three okay so check everything yep yeah Rison seven 1702 ddr4 eight gig sticks yep that's and then we've got a B 350 plus yep okay all right so you're getting probably hopefully a decent computer here cool I don't know about that power supply you check the first couple to make sure they were really you know I mean I'm surprised he's not running it's her machine actually cuz oh he's gonna go write it through a machine no like yeah that's just a universal concern it's definitely not you like hopefully this last piece of the puzzle is really simple we just need a Phillips head screwdriver I know where to get that but it's in a different building it's in a different building I mean they must have a Phillips screwdriver hey let's go walk around the bottom floor like if we go offer someone 15 yes we can buy a shop we can buy a shop screwdriver that would be an option this one right here yeah sure okay okay but should we just go to the other building yeah okay fine let's just go where we know they're gonna have it all right let's go back to that big tool booth I think the odds of that case having all tooless mounts is very slim yeah oh is that your tool sport this is one yeah I'm gonna open they look very open okay I'm gonna buy it actually don't see that many options here small screwdrivers the screwdriver with an S 3:13 used to all like lots of precision screwdrivers for working on phones but we just want like a normal like expertise here we go here oh here we go we walked right past screwdriver land all the way in okay here's a super long one you know what I could actually use one of these okay yeah I'll take this shank I mean screwdriver sorry looks wait whatever see this they're both reversed now they're both going down we caught it by like two minutes we were about to get kicked out of this place so mister can build an iPhone out of parts that he finds in Shenzhen when's the last time you built a computer it's been 15 years 15 years okay so can you build a computer yeah that's a great question I I would like to think I still can I bought but it has been a long time it has been multiple multiple generations I bought the screwdriver for you I'm gonna be in charge of unboxing okay and you're gonna be in charge of actually building this now all right I think you're already doing my job my rights whole Calabro - takes division of responsibilities very carefully okay so here we can let me let me just do a quick overview of our case here yeah so this case is from the brand power train so we were successful on the case front we found something that I had never heard of before it's the chameleon and honestly for a $40 case the fact that it has RGB lighting not that bad feel a little weird assembling a computer in the middle of Market Square but this is totally normal there's they'll be like there's iphone repair going on at McDonald's down there okay we might have run up against our first challenge you actually need to pull out these two standoffs and they are freaking tight so one option and I have used this with success before is to take a motherboard screw here right and screw it in too much like to seize it yep in the stand-up and then try it back off the standoff it's worth shot whoa oh that looks good not one that looks good okay but we're gonna sacrifice another screw here oh oh you're lucky man there you go these are these are seized as hell like without pliers and yeah we're not getting that out anymore but all right so while Scottie screws in the motherboard I'm gonna go through everything else we got here so this is a bit of a cheat I had heard of Great Wall but it is a Chinese friend I don't think I've ever seen a great wall power supply available outside of China wow you've got a modular power supply there you go then modular cable huh yeah is it clicking we need fancy I would say that goes down here right yes it does we can get it in there we need to pull this off you know we don't have we're gonna slide it in yep you know what we have to do is find out how good of a deal we got I'm willing to say a little bit more expensive than the states but I'm not sure Oh our case did not include any cooling fans and we blew our money on a radiator in our stock right if we're double teaming on assembly then I'm gonna double team on unboxing here no wonder your projects take you eight months being an idiot doesn't help okay HyperX fury all right we ready to pop this in and then put cards oh that's almost in okay we're in it's like actually getting dark enough that I'm having trouble seeing now yeah can you flash lately did I just not say flash light you because like not on camera so he showed us the graphics card but I didn't realize it was like a brown box card like it the cardi showed us looked legit but made in China gtx 1060 oh this is a system integrator skew so he sold us an OEM card that rat bastard so this probably doesn't have as much warranty on it again that problem yeah I actually like the screwdriver are you compensating for something okay now I promised that I was putting this damn radiator in no matter oh yeah you did so I'm doing it it's not gonna do anything but it's gonna be in there we need our tubing as well right yeah hell yeah you know like that right I would just run it back right into the other one just like that yeah yeah yeah I want you want to fall illusion yeah I want just run that baby right there there I mean looks kind of water-cooled right yeah you think totally water yeah yeah thank you buddy water cool all right yeah I'm gonna show you a cable management secret show me I love cable management okay so this is the moment where I find out if this was a good deal or a ripoff Oh so I had to make some compromises with my new egg equivalent so I used a Roseville power supply with sort of similar specs I picked like the second cheapest generic SSD I could find and then for a case honestly they were better deals really I could get a case for 38 u.s. dollars okay which is less than what we paid yeah this what I would have paid 1142 how did we do - we did 1162 plus two dollars and 50 cents for the screwdriver so it was basically the same well that was fun was I'm sure glad that that was so stressful but here congratulations do whatever you want with it I no longer care I don't even know if it works but it's water-cooled you ask it looks pretty watered it'll break very water look closely at it so this video is brought to you by private Internet access which actually has been serving me very very well on this trip see watch I'm gonna do a thing I'm gonna go to
