so over the Easter break I did have a little bit of a break but I was also busy behind the scenes making a heap of pcs and this is the last of the pcs we're gonna make here because I want to clear this out because when we do another use parts hunt there will be more of those good parts coming in and so I want to keep the flow going as well as the fact that I do believe graphics cards like even gtx 1060 gtx Tim 50t eyes and stuff like that I believe they'll be coming down in price is very soon I'm already seeing rx5 70s and 5 80s up on my local gum tree and this is an Australia where crypto is obviously not as popular as it is in the US where power is cheaper in the US power is cheaper and practically all other parts of the world so if this is happening in Australia I'm positive it's gonna be happening all over the world so I'm in kind of a rush here I call it the haka ting I got a hawk all these parts off because there's gonna be so many more cheaper parts coming in so today I'm gonna take you through what we're gonna do to sort of get these things up and prepped for sale when you're dropping in a 1050 in this also a 1050 small form-factor and this here as well and then here we also got a gtx 750ti so I believe this systems like an i-5 760 won't need a whole lot done to it with a 750 Ti it'll play games really well with 8 gigabytes of ddr3 that's what we need to do that PC this one here as we said before drop in a 1050 we've got ourselves a gaming PC and see with this here this over here is actually built to order someone is going to come pick this up later today they also wanted a 1066 gigabytes so we picked that up on a crypto deal I made a tweet on Twitter about that picked it up whereas exchanged some Bitcoin so I changed exchanges in cash versus a cryptocurrency that I have a bit of a exchanger for Bitcoin and then paid for this graphics card with cryptocurrency pretty crazy and they also even threw in a gigabytes of ddr3 as well so got a bit of that goodness and that's one thing about pcs at the moment ddr3 RAM is probably becoming the most scarce of all parts but we still have to go hit the road and it's the Commonwealth Games at the moment so traffic might be crazy but we're gonna hit the road go pick up a case of power supply also ten to ten fifty small form factors and then we're going to put all these four pieces together in one for PC parts hustle special edition today here for you guys so we just landed back in the studio here we've picked up to 10:50 load profiles they've gone pretty cheap like 130 USD a pop so they're gonna make those two builds they're complete we've also got a budget power supply here I'm just checking out to see if something like this would be okay it does say it's got two 20 amp 12-volt lines there so that was like a $20 power supply and she's gonna see if it's okay because sometimes you only need to build the needs like 150 watts with like a temperature TI and an i7 or something and so like that would be absolutely fine the person that's thought he did recommend I get the case comm 700 watt pounds posi reckons these are the best bang for buck especially if you just want to power someone like a GTX 780 rig and you don't want to go spend out like a hundred dollars on a power supply which you're not gonna get back in a used build and then we've got two cases here we've got a bid finish comrade and also a another case calm this one I believe has the actual case itself plus one of these power supplies installed too so that being said we do have to get this bill done pretty quick so we're gonna rush that out now and then we'll work on these other three pieces here so there we go guys we've got the one PC was complete and that's all that's left of him now so we'll put that over there and now we're going to make three more pcs as well so that other PC it actually did take a little bit longer than it otherwise would have because they came around and like the gigabyte board that I put in the p55 it didn't post it had some problems on it and then I had to put in that azu speed 55 board that I got in Thailand and that worked absolutely fine but it's sad because I really wanted to use that board to do some really extreme overclocking with the next 34 40 or something like that but anyway it ended up working out it's just I've got to figure out what's wrong with a gigabyte board but without a slide let's get these other three pcs here completed built and working so I quickly figured out what the problem was and it was exactly what I had warned about in yesterday's uh parts cleaning tutorial where the if your break cleaning down these especially the CPU socket inside make sure it's completely dry and see it's working absolutely fine now and that's because I put a hairdryer on that CPU socket and fully dried out all those little SM DS in the middle of the pins so now we got the first of the PCs booted up and this is a weird problem that I found the other day when I was playing around with another one of these Dell pcs we're in the BIOS here but only a Logitech G 100 Mouse will work and that's to get over to this option here to change the boot priority to a USB storage device so I've tried like a bank you Mouse as well and Zowie I've tried the Corsair Mouse tried actually a few others the only one that's working around here is this Mouse for some odd reason so that's a pretty cool thing I mean unless it does work that if you guys are having a problem where you can't get your PC to boot in a Dell box like this I want to have one of these lying around this actual computer has a speaker on mind-blown so now we're just finishing up the last of the three pcs here and this one's got this cool little LED light on the top but what we're going to do now is put them all on the table and just snap some photos so I usually just use my smartphone for snapping photos and then just yeah send them across to my PC and then put the pcs up for sale so now we just finished those three pcs I've still got to think about what to price them up but in one of the shots one of them still has left the i7 sticker on there because you can use that as a little bit of a selling point like generally if it has an i7 and a people will be like oh wow it's an i7 that's better than an i5 and so that just adds value and so if you can think of anything that makes presentation look good as well as looking like it adds value to a deal then you will be selling that deal a lot better than someone who's just posting a photo of a computer in their bedroom and it looks lazy people don't want to buy pictures or computers that they think the owner hasn't taken care of basically and so with all these pcs you've seen it for yourself in this video I've cleaned them all out I've even tuned them up in the windows make sure they're all running correctly and they're snappy and fast as well so not only am i creating value but I'm also advertising value as well however the night is still young and we have a case here which I picked up for 50 strand dollars comes with a 500 watt power supply which I'm curious to test with this gtx 960 which i believe is actually pretty lightly powered it doesn't chew up a whole lot of power despite these two six pins here which would indicate otherwise but when we took it apart it was deriving most its power from the PCIe connection so I don't think it uses that much power at all we've got here a h61 motherboard I actually know h77 we picked this up in Thailand and I know that it for a fact that it works with these two sticks of memory even though they're both blue one is actually Elpida memory and the other is SK Hynix so they do work together in this motherboard I know they don't work together with some other motherboards I've tested around here so if I can find a combination where it works absolutely fun then I'll be happy with that brand-new one terabyte hard drive to make things reasonably snappy reasonably fast but let's put this bill together while we still can and time is of the essence well it's actually not that much of yes but yeah let's put it together so now just completed the fifth build today and this case is very flimsy I did actually cut myself because the edges were so sharp so probably not gonna build in one of these cheaper case comp cases again just cuz it's annoying to build in I'd rather even pay an extra five dollars for something better even the Cougar cases are a lot better than these the power supply however it is saying it does have dual 20 amp 12-volt rails so I am hoping that that does check out because even as stray if it doesn't check out it's actually illegal to advertise those figures if it can't handle those figures so I'm hoping it's all good there was however no 6 pin PCI connectors I did have to use adapters so gtx 960 however doesn't use up that much power at all we've got an i-5 2400 in here it doesn't use up a whole lot of power two sticks of memory low powered motherboard one terabyte hard drive we should be good to go let's boo this thing up and see if we can actually even run a benchmark if we can run like a heaven benchmark well some of that it should be okay she'll be good for gaming and also if it passes a stress test too so we've just finished the UniGene heaven benchmark and we're running really well the graphics card is going to around 75 degrees this is in a 25 degree ambient environment and also you probably hear this PC is actually really quiet as well and that overclocked pretty aggressive to 1500 megahertz out of the box for a GTX 960 that's actually really good so really happy with how this PC is performing especially considered we've got like a really budget case and power supply but as I said in the cleaning pots tutorial the vrm on this was utilizing all the power from the PCIe ports so I thought those two six pins were kind of just for show and looks like they are so this whole rig is using next to no power but one thing I'm gonna do now is put it through out of 64 and stress test it run it for a good couple of hours to make sure that everything's good while the cpu GPU and all the disks are loaded up but while we're waiting for that to happen I thought I'd just sit down and talk real talk with you guys and tell you what's going on behind the scenes here with the channel so now I've got a 264 running in the background behind me CPU is using up about 55 watts GPU it's saying it's using up about 70 watts so it's still really low in terms of overall power consumption I will quickly test it from the wall I'll hook up the water meter and I'll just quickly show some b-roll of how much power that's actually using just over this video here but what we got to talk about now is quickly my motivations for especially like today why I'm selling 5 pcs basically I just got back from Thailand so there's actually two reasons I got back from Thailand and I just saw all these pots just lying around I just basically in the last couple of months I've hoarded a heap of parts to the point where I was like no way enough is enough and so today I just put together five pcs gonna just put them off to sell created a lot of value because those pieces are running really nice they're gonna be great when I put them off a sale songs we be getting some really good value but at the same time I'm making a little bit of money so it's a great little thrill hunting sort of thing that I've gotten into and I got it back into that when the x58 boards were rocking in years ago on the channels like dam use parts is so much fun because you can keep sort of satisfying that need to keep building pcs because I realized when I was building new pcs it was just a lot of fun but building a new PC is kind of you're not gonna make any money turn around try and flip a new PC you're gonna lose money but then there was another thing that's come up recently as well and this is the probably the biggest thing talked about and that's the cryptocurrency sort of breaking point so I did make a video on that we'll put the link up here but it's sort of coming to fruition now I'm noticing especially around my area in Australia there's like rx 570s RX 5 ATS GTX 10 sixties GTX 10 seventies 1050 T eyes they're all coming up for sale now and it's only a matter of time before these people actually want to start selling these before they start dropping the prices and now when they drop the prices I want to be cashed up and be able to pick up some really good deals because I just know that they used parts hunting you guys will just love some of the deal hunting that I can sort of hopefully get on to and just crack some really good deals I know you guys would want to see that bogan curt hunting them deals I'm looking forward to it but I think it's gonna happen I don't know if it's going to happen for certain but I'm just noticing this trend now where all these GPUs are coming up so if those GPUs are coming up then maybe that'll indicate that it's more of a buyers market and so if I've got all this stuff I need a sell I'd rather kind of try and sell it now instead of it becoming a buyers market then you just get low-balled left right and center so I can kind of see this trend happening even sort of live in motion now so I want to be ready for it when it does fully hit that bottom point that's just my thinking I mean I don't know in the US yet like I said I don't think it's actually reached breaking point in the US but I know in Australia kind of has at the moment so you're seeing people starting to self their GPUs at least here and so even if it stays at this level maybe the deal hunting in Australia will get really good so not too sure about the US but in Australia the moment it's a starting to be looking like it's good times but no guys hope you enjoyed today's video if you did then be sure to hit that like button let me know in the comment section below have you got any really good deals lately or have you seen any good deals that you missed out on love reading those comments as well and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye to do this to me how could you do this to me so now we just landed back from going to the wires that autofocus off okay
