so from time to time I get asked how do I make money as a smaller youtuber at least compared to the bigger tech channels and when you look at my social blade figures you see that I don't really make a whole lot from ads even though that is a big chunk of my money every month I do make money from other things like affiliate links sometimes they'll be pre-roll ads and of course behind me there will be things like this and that is the use PC parts hustle and today I'm going to take you guys through a behind-the-scenes whip up that I've got here so I picked up these two builds really cheap of a friend called Luke and that's going to be in a new episode of PC house-call so you'll see that hitting the channel soon so now for this build we've got two cases here one is a rotor k40 one never heard of the case before all the brand but apparently it comes with tempered glass three RGB LED fans and RGB LED strips now we picked that up for around about 85 Australian dollars which would be like 60 something USD and beside that is the new fractal design focus G I got this in white apparently that comes with two fans as well so I actually haven't opened up either of these cases yet so I don't know what's inside we're gonna pair that with a Vega 56 card and also a GTX 1080 now I did pick these up for really good prices and these are the cheapest flat pack black cable power supplies I can get I got these for around about $80 each these are the Thermaltake smart power 5:51 so old black cables make the build look really neat so with that aside let's start pulling these cases apart and then transplanting them into this new shindig so just unbox both these cases here and this one doesn't have tempered glass it's actually perspex so I'm very happy still with how they look but it's time to build these out so we're gonna move over there where I've got a lot of room and I'm gonna start piecing out these builds I'll show you what's inside them exactly and then we'll take them out and start putting them in both these builds so now we're taking the builds apart they're exactly the same as each other and you can see there's a sixty seven hundred and there's the r7 360 in both builds and there's that power supply as I was talking about before power supplies like this they'll say they're 800 watt or whatever but you'll see the max there so that won't be what's RMS which you'll see a capital W with a 500 watt for example that means it's 500 watts continuous that's usually with good pals place so this is a pretty bad power supply and as I said before the case is very flimsy so it's time to start taking all these parts out and then putting them into these builds here also on these builds which is really good - there's an SSD and there's a 2 terabyte hard drive you probably wondering how much did I pick these up for of course that's probably a burning question I got both these PCs I swapped them for a GTX 1080 and 140 Australian dollars for both these pcs for 24 inch 1080p monitors and also for keyboard and mice so I did get an extremely good deal but we're gonna still see if these computers completely work out as well so that took me about eight minutes to do I've pulled those two pcs apart and I may use them a little bit later in this video but we've got here the focus G where that's up first so we're gonna put a motherboard in there power supply and graphics card and I don't know why there's a pillow there maybe someone was watching TV on the floor so we've got this ready let's do it before we do indeed do it let's take a moment to check out today's video sponsors story blocks and on story blocks you can get access to over 400,000 different images vectors or illustrations and actually in today's thumbnail I used one of these images so you can go to the website search gradients get a high quality grade in which I've been using for some time now and I've also given to tech deals with a PSD file as well so is using summer story blocks as images and he doesn't even know it and then you can make yourself some high quality footage also if you're a journalist this service is really good as well because you can go search for the image that you need related to your article and then use that image completely royalty-free - so story blocks definitely have you covered and you get a 7 day free trial if you use the link in the description below it's completely free for 7 days so you can troll the service see if you like it or not and if you do decide you like it and it's only $99 a year which is a really high quality service for what you're getting so I just changed the thermal paste around and now I usually use alcohol wipes but I actually can't find them at the moment so I just did what I call a spit shine with some tissues and that'll do perfectly fine so now it's time to do cable management and for cable management I'm a pretty simple guy I just get the zip ties flat pack things down at the back make sure everything's relatively neat and then at the front of the case make sure everything's looking really good some people go as far as to individually manage every single cable that does take a lot of time I just usually do the quick and dirty method that gets aesthetics at the front of the case so here's the first bill complete now and looking pretty good I mean those two sort of fan cables they're sticking out like a sore thumb I'll probably rearrange them later but it looks pretty good for what it's worth because now while sun's out I do want to bang out this next build as well and I did start this elect pretty late in the afternoon so let's continue on all right so this case I've just pulled it apart and that is a lot of plastic but also it does indeed have four RGB LED fans and you also get two magnetic RGB LED strips so the good old code is looking like it's a pretty good value already so we've now finished this second build and I've taken the side panel off because it does have the RGB fans running and they do have the controller up the top here so you can change the lighting around and also the fans you can manually control them the speeds I think there's three speeds and off so you can turn them off via the top panel here so the only two little critiques about this case would be that the zip ties included zip ties are ridiculously small so you'd have to bring your own zip ties to the table and the RGB LED strips they're magnetic strips but there's barely enough metal for them to stick on to the case so I could only stick one on to the bottom and the side here they just fell off the other panels so besides that though I mean for the price and the money like adenine is like 60 USD Oh something's hitting really hard for the money so it's a little bit outlandish in terms of the looks too but if you want something with RGB for fans included and the airflow seems decent it's not the best airflow but I mean hey it's not a bad little case for the money this is the I think it's a coat oh well that's like something that's like a Japanese males name or it might be the rotor I'm not too sure but like either way I mean they probably wrote I mean New Age Japanese names road is probably a name anyway so you know rotor last name master though not the question I usually get asked is what about Windows 10 I have an install USB key so I'll usually just buy the keys off eBay or wherever for really cheap if they don't include the key themselves I mean this PC and the other one also included a free copy of Windows 10 so they already installed on the computers that I bought them with so Windows 10 is usually tied to the motherboard and since we're using the same motherboard with the same SSD we're all good to go so next up here we have the fractal design focus G and fractal design they've been around for years now they make very clean-looking cases build quality is really good installations a breeze this one's no different I'd like to see a little bit more cable management options so it is a little bit compact for a case but it does look extremely neat and that's probably my own bad should have got a modular power supply I spent a little bit more money I could have got the corsair CX 550 m and especially with this case I wish I did because you can probably see those cables sitting down inside there they're hiding away there but I wouldn't have them if I had the Corsair power supply so but basically with this case you've got a really hard-hitting case for the money two fans included at the front and just a really clean aesthetic for the money eighty-five Australian dollars you just can't go wrong at this price I mean imagine in the US would be even cheaper as well so really well done here I don't know which one I like better the the rotor or the fractal design focus G let us know in the comment section below which one you like better but also another thing I have to do on this computer since it has an Nvidia card I have to change around the drivers clean up the drivers with ddu which is direct driver uninstall it really just cleans out all the previous drivers then you can install the Nvidia drivers but also have to tweak it up tune it up and maybe run some temperature tests maybe let's test it out quickly the Focus G versus the the rotor there so while those other two PC's are stress testing these two rigs here the shore power supply and the real low-end case they're not forgotten about I'm gonna actually reuse them with those two graphics cards that we got before the last seven 360s I think they are and also Madden has donated a heap of memory to the channel and also to one terabyte hard drive so we're going to put them to good use in these builds and thank you so much for that but we also have the motherboard the cheap motherboard that we picked up in Thailand the h-60 one we're gonna use that with an i3 and Ivy Bridge i3 and also another build that I picked up with an i5 2400 and a Z 68 we're gonna put both those rigs into these pcs and then we'll have to really budget entry pcs to put up the sale too so there it is there guys two pcs are finished there two like semi potatoes I don't know how much I'll sell them for yet but there's those two done the fractal case is also done and then we're actually testing out the little Rhoda here as well so we're doing the temperature test now the fractal defined has been finished the Focus G and now we're just running this for about half an hour we're gonna see how they stack up against each other the two $85 Australian cases so the results are now in and the fractal define are five after 37 minutes odd number I know scored 85 degrees max and then the Rhoda on the lowest fan setting that scored 83 degrees so beat it by two degrees kind of interesting I mean there's not much in it at all they're both got really bad stock Intel heatsink fans but the road is not bad I mean I've never heard of this brand before 85 Australian dollars it's hitting hard in terms of value for money so not a bad case I can recommend both the cases that I've used here today they're really gonna make these builds look really good and they perform really well too and yes the ambient temperatures were the same but also today I've built four pcs in the afternoon so I started about two o'clock as I said before and that's four pcs that are now ready to be sold I don't know how much I'll put them up for sale for I'm still gonna think about that but that is one source of income for the channel and also big thank you to the guys who are donating parts whether they have a semi broken or broken I can still use a lot of parts that work and sort of make some magic happen and make builds for people who are looking for value for money pcs especially compared to going out and buying a new PC so I think ddr4 Ram prices as well are making the use price performance markets so much more attractive as well so I've noticed that a lot of builds have been selling very easy as soon as I put them up they get sold like that it's crazy so that's awesome that's the source of income and as I said before the Adsense and the affiliate links and also the pre-rolls and stuff like that sometimes they come along and they all help support the channel and also another thing I wanted to talk about was the patron update and it's very silly especially for those small one dollar donations essentially if you guys didn't know they've started to charge the people who are donating money which helps us out a lot thank you guys for the patron support bit they're charging now 35% extra on one dollar donations essentially so how it works is they're charging like 2.9 percent plus 35 cents to the donator and so on a one dollar donation that's essentially a 35 percent hike and a lot of people are just getting angry this is just too much I mean it's like what some people were telling me in the UK and stuff they get charged 20% VAT as well so that's like 50% service charges just for a one dollar donation I mean it's just too much I mean I don't even really know what to say about it except that I will be looking in in the next couple of months I'm just extremely busy at the moment getting the new studio done but I will be looking into setting up some sort of like PayPal subscription service where PayPal only charge like 2% so I will look into getting that done for you guys maybe link it to the website or something like that because yeah that's just absurd those charges for what they're giving is really not worth it and also what about the new studio itself it's coming along we're painting the walls me and dad man we're doing the colors and all that ourselves of course saving a bit of money and in the process we're having a lot of fun just making the studio the way we want it to it should be completed probably the end of this month so we'll take a little bit longer but that'll just enable me to have so much more room to work and I know you guys I know if promise videos in the past and I just haven't been able to complete them because I don't have the room to work with so once I get that new studio done all those videos are promised in the past they're going to be coming and they're going to be coming so hard the first month I get that studio done I'm gonna be fulfilling a lot of those promises so stay tuned but guys when it comes down to it I'm just flat out now I'm always working I love the hustle you guys love the behind the scenes vlogs that's what a lot of people are telling me you want to see more vlogs like this so if you have any requests any things you want to know about the dropper come in the comment section below and I'll try and get that done so what we did today was for PC builds in an afternoon I'm just gotta tune them up maybe take some photos put them up the sale so still gonna do that but also as well big thank you to today's video sponsor story blocks you can get a 7 day free trial just click the link in the description below or $99 a year after that 7 day trial ends you can get access to so many different images vectors and illustrations and with that said if you guys enjoyed today's video then be sure to hit that like button and I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye you've always got to stay hungry if you don't stay hungry you're gonna get lazy also the crypto video is coming very soon how did I go over the last six months or five months of mining crypto currencies I'll make a two part series and the first part will be hitting the channel very soon so stay tuned for that I'll talk about all the profits and the money and stuff like that in the first part second part I'll probably talk about some extra stuff you know there's this age-old saying that one man's trash is another man's treasure that's very true in a lot of cases but around tacky-ass City one man's trash can be turned into another man's treasure it Telstra is that the power guy yeah just tell him we're with Telstra Telstra yeah they provide us a really good power and they also do us the telephone lines yeah Telstra provides a very high quality power - yeah yeah they were Christie's good yes it's coming from Jamaica indignant parently brought some electricity in from Jamaica as well so it's a special special power
