I'm in the middle of Akihabara electric city just got into Tokyo and the first thing I am going to start doing is hunting those used parts and we're going to do two videos while I'm here this is the first of them go on our key harbour to try and find a new case it's a unique case and I'll try and find it if it tears from a company called Jon's oh but I'm also going to look for those use parts deals so let's get on with it but I got to eat sighs I'm starving so let's go get some sushi or something so if you guys are in Tokyo and you're looking for a new computer the knocking hover is definitely the place to come they've actually got the best deals that can even beat out the internet in terms of prices when you come into Akihabara however there are some places here that do sell use parts so we're going to go into one place called Gumo they've actually got a whole floor with two core parts and that means use parts in Japanese you want to head in there first and then go check out if they've got any good deals and if they do of course we're going to buy them but keep in mind with Tokyo you're not really going to get the best deals possible man it's so hard to film in tokyo sometimes so we just left school oh then and I picked up the gravis card which I bought years ago the GTX 670 from galaxy this is actually not the galaxy brand it's actually a gallery and so I got that for $60 about 60 us for a GTX 670 so not bad at all they did have some other deals in there but I didn't really check them out they weren't that good so I'm going to go around to another few places now and see if they've got the deals as always but now we're probably at one of my favorite spots in Akihabara because to the right of me they got a place called buy more and then to the left of me they've got a place called soft map and now in this soft map they've got some really good deals especially on youth parts but also new parts too and then this place here has some actually really good one time deal on new parts so let's go into the new spots first and check that out and then we go into the new part this is actually pretty cool here's a $50 tempered glass case so I would buy it if I was living here that you know since I'm not living here and I have to travel I'd easily break the tempered glass so if anyone wants to achieve case and $50 in sofmap in tokyo alright guys so we just finished in soft map and they told me as well like don't film inside and I'm like and then I just found out some excuse like I just want to remember the prices later suck and chicken but they ended up being a boss I mean there wasn't any good deals in there I did find actually something that I've never seen in the flesh before and that was a q77 chipset so I'm not actually sure if they are support overclocking or not from memory but I have to check later but they have a GTX 760 for like 110 dollars and I was like nah that's not a deal at all the 670 was a much better deal and on that note in scoobo they actually have one more 670 for $60 so if anyone's in Tokyo they can go check that out so we just got out of buy more and this place is definitely cracking if you guys want to pick up some new parts they didn't have really any use parts besides like a b-grade deck for the gigabyte motherboard but in there I was seriously considering building a mini ITX Rison PC they had this deal going with a BIOS table be 350 and I don't know what the deal was there because they had the BIOS that x3 70-minute idx border they looked exactly the same so I don't know what the difference there was I thought the X 370 had like a few extra features which you didn't get on the mini ATX board and so it doesn't really matter so inside I was like wow so they got the hundred dollars for the mini ITX Biostar be thrifty board and then they've got a rising CPU for about two hundred and something and then a gtx 1050 TI which requires no 6-pin connector going for like a hundred and twenty-five dollars or something like that and then they've got this awesome case inside called the Ragin tech Medus or something and that's like only about $60 so I'm seriously considering at this point building a mini ITX rig because the last one I built in America I got built that for like a thousand dollars and then when I go back to Australia just did a hock job on it and I made some money on it too so it's a really cool experience is always to build the PC and then sell it make some money but of course I want to check around and see you know what else my budget truck but then I want to check out the rest of our key harbour in terms of the hot spots to use part before I do make this decision but it's going to be on my mind so let's go check out these other place okay so we just got out of dose power and then got to different stores so that one's for new parts but the cool thing is about that place was I found the Mini ITX case that I was thinking about before for like ten dollars cheaper so the cool thing about our key hover is you can look around all the different stores and check out the best prices on each then of all the individual parts that you want and then you can just really probably save like fifty dollars even on the already cheap prices here and get the best best deal you can as opposed to just buying it from one store also another thing I found out is that I do want Wireless if I am to build this mini ITX PC I'm definitely don't want Wireless on that Mini ITX motherboard integrated or after that place behind me called arc PC I just went in there and it was a bust they didn't have any used parts and also the prices of the new parts were expensive as well now one thing I did see is that the rx 570 and 580 craze has actually hit Tokyo as well so the graphics cards getting sold out but one thing I did see here is the Bitcoin mining motherboard which have like 13 PCIe slots that support all the graphics card Rises and that will go on for about a hundred and forty dollars which I think if you got them and sold them on eBay you could make a quick buck I'm just not too sure and how much they go for on eBay but and I'm not really in the mood because I'm on travel and I don't have enough room in my suitcase so I'm not really in the mood to flip things like that but let's go to that dos para now and see if they've got the use part okay so we just got out of dos power the place that sold used parts and that was a complete bust you know at the bus when the graphics card you just bought is like twenty dollars cheaper this place so they had some all in ones as well and that was the boss as well the prices are just too high so this stage I'm going to try one more place see if I get some good use deals there if not the first place that we went to was probably the best and I'm probably going to pull the trigger on that Mini ITX rig now so I just get out of this place it used to be soft map now it's called bit camera and the whole place has been like commercialized now and there's even no PC parts in this store I don't know what's going on in Akihabara but it feels like all the hermit's are leaving this place they're abandoning it there's just no like real price performance enthusiast deals especially on the use part all the Japanese Hermits like dying of rigor mortis or something like what is going on I'm just confused Akihabara is just not feeling hermit anymore anyway the so it's pretty hot around here I've been doing a lot of walking and I found a place called shop inverse now if you guys are looking to just get an all-in-one PC that actually turns on it works it's got an i7 in it a decent power supply and you pick it up for around one hundred and thirty dollars which is a really good price considering yeah it's got all the parts you need you just whack a decent graphics card in like a GTX 670 maybe and you know you've got a gaming PC kind of something maybe even a little bit better than the bang job that I built on the channel but this was a really cool find I think that's probably like all the hunting I've done here and it's really not that much but you can still get a decent deal in Tokyo on use part but I just got to the bus stop now ended up finishing up in Tokyo and it was crazy and I mean I couldn't film in all these stores like I did sneak a bit of footage and I do it a little sneak in there you know got some footage but a lot of the places they just said no filming no filming buy or even roll you some footage now ah and so man it must be like the invasion of YouTube is in Akihabara because everywhere I went just Hawking on me straight up so I'd love to get you guys footage in the stores and just you know go ham in there but I couldn't but anyway got you guys updated on all the latest deals ended up pulling the trigger on some of the mini ITX gear I got my tax off as well because I'm on a three-month traveling visa now if you come to Tokyo and you're on a three-month visa that you automatically get if you're from like the UK or Australia or the US I'm pretty sure you want to actually get it and you can get your tax so eight percent off all the items at a lot of places and it actually makes a big difference like I think some of the parts I got here today I like the cheapest in the world at least for the prices I could find them for so hence why I'm building this mini ITX rig here I've showcased it on the channel and also you know if I don't use it for a few months I can do a hock job make some money back - so pretty awesome deals the GTX 670 was really good there's also still another one there I was going to pick it up it's late now I don't be too greedy so it's not what the GTX 670 and all-in-one that I showed before that's a really good combo for like 200 bucks see behind late last night instead of being a noisy intruder I decided to film it in the morning and a good thing guys is ya get that passport if you come here and you're traveling get the passport because you will get a really good discount you get eight percent off on all your stuff and that made that ten fifty TI like literally a hundred and twenty bucks that was incredible for a new graphics card like a 1050 TI and it doesn't even need a six pin as well so that's awesome some other really cool things about Tokyo I noticed was there was like new products there that I haven't seen those this 27 millimeter low-profile all-metal fan from thermal tape that was really cool there was also a sister I know a lot of people like Brian is pronounced slice it's like I don't care there was this sis cooler that was kind of like it was really cheap of $12 or something and it looked really cool I think that'd be good in a mini ITX PC where you just got to stock cooler or you've got a CPU that doesn't overclock and then also there was this keyboard from real force that had anything that said it had a polling rate of two and a half thousand Hertz to five thousand Hertz now I know it's practically useless but it's always cool to just see these new things and go and get refreshed there's also 144 Hertz ultrawide monitor that was hitting the shelves from LG and also if you thought RGB was just getting too much I think lepers now releasing like these choppa fans with all these fancy LED effects going through so expect the invasion of that pretty soon so now I went into Tokyo expecting to get like some good used deals and I did get that GTX 670 but really when we compare that to the new 1050 Ti it's not even half the price and it doesn't even perform as well not to mention it's old it's used so I was kind of like surprised the new deals in Akihabara were much better than the used deals now of course we're going to go in part two the second video I do we're going to be hunting the country where they're the real deals we're going to get the real deals out there so I can't wait for that but also on that note I'm going to be building a mini ITX PC in Japan this will be my editing workstation for traveling and it's good to see AMD back in the game where they're a viable option now for pretty much everything in PC so it's great the competitions back I'm loving the new Rison 5 1600 is the best CPU man I knew the CPU would be the goldmine of the whole lot Rison 3 review will be coming soon - stay tuned for that I'm going to be comparing that mainly against the G 45 60 because I think that's where it's going to be the focal point of that you know overclock that because it can be overclocked and then see how it compares and the thing is it's getting cheaper so you're gonna have to sort of couple it up with cheaper graphics cards I think that's the idea of rising 3 because if you've got more money again I agree with a lot of other people if you've got that little bit extra money step it up to that Verizon v 1600 because you won't regret it and one thing that blew me away as well was at soft map they now accept bitcoins as a legitimate source of payment for computer parts so if you've got a cryptocurrency and you exchange for bitcoins you can then use those bitcoins to buy PC parts that was really like I don't know if it's scary if it's really cool but then like cryptocurrencies are gaining traction I mean it has taken them a long time in my opinion but they are gaining traction to the point where you can legitimately buy things from stores now at least in Japan anyways I think Bitcoin is now officially recognized as a currency in Japan so also with Japan they've got some really cool cases now this is the Ragin tech I couldn't resist this is all metal construction look how small it is Mini ITX case I absolutely love it USB 3 as well love the design of this case I couldn't resist originally I was going to go get a case from John's boat called the RM 2 now if you guys saw my video on the big mini concept over a year ago it's pretty much identical to that just it looks a lot better and so I was really surprised like damn I want to get this case but then I saw this one and I just had to pick up this so there's definitely some really cool cases on display in Japan and if you guys want to build a full-sized ATX case that's really small and you probably travel with it then definitely John's though looking like they're coming into the competition pretty hard so I love coming to Japan checking out all the products because you get to see what's hot at the moment and what not any guys that's enough of me talking if you enjoyed this video be sure to hit that like button also if you have any requests when I'm out on the road hunting then be sure to drop a comma in the comment section below and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye so so another cool thing about Japan's you just drink literally anywhere like alcohol and you can get it so cheap at the convenience stores just walk in there grab a beer and cheers guys plus and one of the places is right behind me it's called skimmers
