December's USED PC PARTS Hunt - American Tourist MEETS Gamtre

2017-12-18
it's now finally that time of the month where we're going to go use PC parts hunting but also already this month and between this time in the last PC parts on we've got some really good deals already went to Thailand picked up a heap of different motherboards that was a special edition that I did for you guys I'll put a link for that and also off my friend Luke who we did an episode of PC house call with we've got two really good computers for an absolute bargain $200 Australian each of pop and then the last deal that we got was actually a deal that came to me this was a used Alienware laptop they bought a PC off me and they said the Alienware laptop was broken and upon booting it up it was indeed broken the hard drive in it was just crashing out it would fail to boot because the sectors are really bad and damaged and so with that I took the hard drive out and the SSD still works so it technically is a working laptop still we just need to put in a new hard drive or at least a used one which were going to be hunting for today and we've got that for 50 dollars because I swapped that for a $50 monitor that I picked up a 27 inch 1080p monitor and so the Warner was actually worth around $100 so they wanted $100 for the laptop so we swapped the monitor for the laptop and that was an incredibly good deal but with that said let the part hunt begin welcome back to check yet City and today we're gonna be hunting for a bit of everything last month we got a heap of graphics cards of all practically only hunting for gravis cards but this month all bets are off we're going for any deal that we can pick up as we kind of need a bit of everything this month and with that said there are some other players now on the Gold Coast who are entering the game one guy message me directly and he said that he would give me a hand if I needed it so thank you very much but I know there's some other players out there hunting deals on the Gold Coast now so competition has picked up but with that said we're gonna do our best and we're also gonna put on an accent this time we're switching it up we're not going with the bogan because I think people are aware of the bogan now we're gonna go instead with an American tourist who is on the Gold Coast and he's looking to build a cheap PC on the budget so now this first deal we got up here is a little bit of practice for my American accent and it's a hundred and fifty dollars and it's got an Intel i3 with four gigabytes of RAM now if we add another four gigabytes to this system and put a graphics card in it then we should be able to make an awesome gaming PC so let's give this a call okay so the first deal for this desktop Warren did not pick up the phone so we're just gonna drop in an offer of $100 and see if he'll take that since next year we got up here is the cooler master half computer case and they're asking 50 Australian dollars for it which would be like 35 USD but we're gonna try and drop it down to 35 Ozzie and the good thing about this is although it's a little bit old a little bit dirty it includes a lot of fans I think they said 320 centimeter fans which is huge but there's also a super flower power supply in there which I'm pretty sure is a decent 500 watt power supply that's hopefully still working so if we can get this for a bargain it will actually be a really good pickup for a used build hey James I saw your advertisement on a gam tree for a cool master half computer case yeah yeah would you be interested in taking maybe $35 for it back in until after Christmas I won't be on the Gulf Coast near Christmas at this point oh really oh okay when I get back I can pick it up then when I'll be back I'm not sure I'll be back on the 21st of this week actually whatever you like yeah I'm just okay that yeah that sounds pretty good I mean I'm leaving away for Christmas too so like I'll be back around that time as well like a bit after if you still got it yeah you're the second person that's inquired about her and I really just want the space back so yeah you didn't certainly brought that much okay and also the other guy bought it oh and then I say the map they wanted that ship to Victoria or something oh wow yeah I can pick it up I'm just like ten minutes away okay yeah I'll be your new okay man no worries I'll look forward to it yeah all right James thanks for that okay bye so there it is James is pretty good he's willing to take $35 I guess but he won't be back until after Christmas so that's kind of a long time to wait for the case I mean if he's back on the 21st which is four days and we can go pick that up but hopefully that's a deal in the bag hopefully so the next deal we got up here is an r9 380 for gigabyte edition so it's not a bad deal if we can pick this up for say $80 so we're gonna drop in and offer see if they'll take it of course the lower the better but I think $80 is a fair price since he's asking 100 and at $80 will be a pretty good deal hi Rach Karina I'm trying to look fine at the moment but just like message and bring me a number and I'll give you a call back thank you bye hey Karina I saw your advertisement on gam tree comdata you for a graphics card I'm just looking I got cash and I'm just looking to pick this thing up if you're interested in selling it so I just give me a buzz back bye so that's two out of three people who haven't picked up their phone now and hopefully I'm not butchering this accent too much but I think it's working out I mean we did get that first deal we just left a message on this second deal because I kind of got to move on I'll drop in an offer of $80 as well on the website and so the next day we're pulling up here is a gtx 780 Ti and there's actually no phone number on it so we're just gonna have to drop in an offer of a hundred eighty Australian dollars so they're asking two hundred and thirty but this card is an absolute beast and it will overclock pretty high as I believe they are indeed Bend the GTX 780 Ti Hall of Fame's not only that they've got a massive cooler on them and a backplate which was great for this error of gravis card not to mention that this card will still kick it very hard in today's titles and I'd love to test one of these cards out because I have mingled in the past with GTX 780 s but actually haven't mingled with a 780ti for quite some time okay that was the fastest reply I've ever had they just replied yes 180 strain dollars so it's a trip to Brisbane but hopefully there's some other deals here that are up in Brisbane which is about 80 kilometres up from where I live so it's gonna be a bit of a drive but if we can get some other deals up in Brisbane then that'll be worth the drive so we've really got an awesome deal here that we've landed let's check out some others so another deal that's in the close vicinity of the 780ti Hall of Fame is a 780ti gigabyte wind force Edition so kind of similar a little bit inferior to the Hall of Fame but if we can pick this up for say 160 Australian and that'll be a really good deal so let's give this a call so that's the third person who hasn't picked up their phone and it is a Sunday I usually on a Saturday or Sunday kind of Sunday being the most preferred day because I think people would pick up their phones but maybe I've just got to start hunting on a Monday or something so try making an offer of 160 and it's put in an auto bar I will then went up to 170 even 175 and they barred me both times so I mean it $180 if I offer that for this version it's kind of like not worth it because the Hall of Fame oh wait here we go we're gonna pull right on the spot hello Hey and I'm just inquiring about an advertisement on a wwm tree comdata you for a gigabyte gtx 780 Ti oh yeah yep yeah would you be interested in taking say a hundred and sixty dollars if I came pick it up cash buying it but I'm just waiting to hear back from because I did say that we're gonna pick it up this weekend but I haven't had anything but you're gonna get back free blood today we can definitely do that for you okay no worries it's just I'm coming from the Gold Coast and like I'm picking up another GTX 780 Ti a Hall of Fame Edition and that's I getting that for $180 that's a really good one and that's in Brisbane - so I'll be going through that area and if you're interested then yeah I'll pop through man give you some cash and it's all good yeah yeah I'll be doing that in a couple of hours I'll be leaving in say 2 or 3 hours well so just if I'm driving up that way do you want me to give you another call or send you a text yeah okay man no worries thanks for the call back ed oh that's all right dude all right I'll catch you later dude so hopefully we'll pick up this gratis Cod for $160 if we can it will make the trip very worth it indeed and also with that said we've got now another two deals left to go one of those now being a samsung laptop and this is a pretty interesting deal because I'm not really interested in the actual laptop itself I'm interested in the description where it says that if you need a hard drive for the laptop or an upgrade he'll do it for a small fee so we're gonna give Josh a call and see if he'll sell the 2.5 inch hard drive separately and then we can use that to put in our alien where laptop and fix that up for really cheap so let's give that a go now so now there's one more person who didn't pick up their phone and this person I'm not really gonna put in an offer because I actually want to talk to them and as I said before trying it the hard drive that they have spare instead of the actual laptop itself because I've gotten no use of this laptop even though if you could pick up this laptop for a hundred bucks a strain it wouldn't be a bad deal at all even then but I don't need a laptop at all at the moment now the last day we got up here is a gtx 750ti now we have got one of these in the past for a hundred and ten Australian dollars absolute bargain and this time around it's they're asking hundred and fifty but if we could go down to 110 again it would be worth the drive now the problem is is the drivers like 80 kilometers that way and brisbin's that way so if we did indeed agree on a price on this it would just be a mammoth amount of driving but to be honest it would be worth it so let's give it a call hey Daniel how are you yeah I'm just inquiring about an advertisement on a w-w-w my common for a gigabyte yeah yeah you say negotiable how negotiable are you a little bit I've only just uploaded it so I could probably go cut it up for 150 I could probably go down to 120 yeah I'll just I'm coming from the gold cool so like I could come and pick it up today if you want say ten cash I come pick it up yep okay yeah yeah if you're coming all the way from Gold Coast that's yeah fair enough I no worries man just text me your address and I'll uh I'll come and pick her up now okay all right Daniel thanks man see you mate whoa so there it is guys another GTX 1050 ti4 110 Australian dollars which would be like 80 USD or something incredibly good value for money and the real good thing about this graphics card is we can put it in practically any PC and we've got an awesome gaming PC so we're definitely gonna make the drive and pick this up and it's gonna be awesome so with that said I think we'd get on our bike or at least in the hole of national we're getting the whole Nash draw and we go pick up these deals also let me know in the comment section below what you think of my botched up American accent because it is working baby it's working so then we have you guys we've now picked up three graphics cards we got the GTX 780 Ti the wind force we've got the Hall of Fame down there and then we also picked up that 1050 Ti and I'm now in an area that's really close to my sister's house so I'm gonna go pay her a visit probably grab a quick feed while I'm there and then I've got to go pick up the next deal as well which is that PC that I put in a hundred dollars for they said yes without the monitor and the keyboard and mouse so that'll be a pretty good deal as well if I can piece together a gaming PC for that so go back in late last night and I was just so burnt out and tired that it's went straight to bed and I did spend some time with my sister she's about an hour away from me and I was close to hunting one of those deals and I just gave her a cold dropped in she hooked us up a feed gave us a drink it was really cool because I'm just one of those people if I'm really hungry as well I just can't work I don't know if that's a condition or not but so she hooked us up with a feed and we just take care of each other that's what family do guys I love my family it's really cool I've taken care of her in the past with the fixing up pcs they even gave her a really good deal on a PC as well but also the deals I've got like the opposite to a hangover this morning it's really cool look into this we got a 1050 GI for a hundred and ten Australian dollars and then we got a GTX 780 Ti from galaxy I believe this is the last galaxy card before they've rebranded to Galax it's also got a missile launch button a backplate this thing just looks so cool I can't wait to put this in a build and speaking of the bills we got that I three build and that's got a h 55 motherboard from gigabyte a very solid motherboard unit so I could go get a Xeon X 34 40 maybe I haven't tested that one out yet go get one of those and they coupled out with a 780ti and a more powerful power supply and we got ourselves one crazy price performance build though if you're on a budget you could and I say could just drop in a 7870 for example an extra four gigabytes of ram a two sadhas to a six pin or eight pin and you got yourself a gaming PC that you could up tick for 250 Australian dollars so order for a hundred put in some extra parts we could resell that as a gaming PC for around 350 your strand dollars so that's if you want to make a quick buck you could do that as well though to top things off this PC that I picked up late last night has a power of man power supply now I recently used one of these power supplies never heard of the brand or name before but now we've seen the second one here so that was really cool to see that this PC had a Power Man power supply in it and also the last day we got the GTX 780 Ti win for sedition pick that up for a hundred and sixty Australian dollars now when I met up with Ed he said that he had chucked out an x58 motherboard and so I when I heard this I was just so debo I couldn't believe he did this and he was like damn he couldn't believe he did it either after I'd said how good those motherboards were so it was really cool just to travel around and get the deals I mean it seems like there's a lot of PC parts hunters on the Gold Coast now and so a lot of the parts are drying up in my main city but that's not to worry because I just absolutely love it's one of my passions and hobbies is just driving with the windows down listening to music so I think we traveled about 350 kilometers in total and got some really good deals probably dropped about $35 in gas and it was just an epic time I had a really good time on the road last night also an update with the new studio I'm gonna be releasing two vlogs so they'll be part 2.5 out of three where we finished the construction and then there'll be the final part which would be part three where we're setting up the tables and all the rigs and stuff like that so there's still a bit of work to be done but we've done the painting on the main walls looks really good for us I think it does anyway so we all picked out the colors me Dad man and the rest of the family so yeah that's coming along and also in a recent video I did PC house cool I had to reload that video too because it had some weird sound problem where the stereo sound was out of phase and now I check this on my PC and what I did was I copied the left channel to the right channel and then I saw a shift in the right channel so there was something but the audio being out of phase I've never seen this problem before but basically I think it's when the left and the right channel get mixed to mono they cancel each other out of something so this is our problem but it's always good to learn these things for future reference but yeah we also got one more deal this month and this was on a thermal imaging camera from a company called FLIR this is the one Pro I picked this off the 330 strain dolls it's brand new type C Android connection for my mate 10 and in the States this thing goes for 400 US brand new so crazy good deal on this you guys will definitely be able to see more accurately now temperatures when I do things like vrm analysis on the channel so can't wait to put this thing in practice I've actually already used it very briefly in the Thunderbolt GTX 1060 video so I'll put a link in the description below for that that's about it for today's parts hunt video I hope you guys enjoyed this one if you did then be sure to hit that like button and let me know in the comment section below you think about the new fake American accent do you think people were ready for it also when I met up with the people I just completely drop the act and no one says anything I don't think anyone really cares especially around where I live I mean yeah I've never been questioned about it I've ER I've had a weird look from some dudes in the past but no one's really cared I guess also as well we've got dead graphics cards as well something I'm going to talk about in an upcoming episode of can yes fix it so you want to stay tuned for some of the contents coming up on the channel and with that I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out peace out for now bye
