The FINAL Hunt | Used PC Parts Bargain Hunting in Japan

2016-10-09
some in Japan for a few more days I'm mostly staying at a hotel here but I know you guys want to see one more use parts hunt for the road and today I'm going to go on that hunt share with you guys all the secrets all the tips on how to get the best deals in Japan so let's do it welcome to taxi this is brand coming to you guys today with the final used PC bargain hunt and basically today we're looking for of course those bargains but I'm also looking for a PC case that I can pick up for next to nothing because we've got to build coming for you guys like tomorrow and that's going to be like again price performance last build for Japan but don't worry I'm gonna still be doing built when I get back to a stray but anyway we're at pace called hot off and essentially these are the ones that I go to and they're outside of the city now if you're in Tokyo or like really in a populated city you're generally not going to want to go to them those places because a the staff like know what the stuffs worth and they generally test it and be you've got to compete with a lot of people who are ready hawking those places so the ones that i go to a generally remote areas in the country where the stuff don't know the stuffs worth and i mean a lot of people don't know what they're looking for so that's where you're gonna get the bargains and let's get on with it so we're just inside this place and they've just got nothing but trash here so I mean for PC paths there might be some other good stuff if you're into retro hunting or whatnot but like looking at the deals I mean they don't have any cases either like they do have cases but they're like penny ins in their real old penny ins and they're not even worth 20 bucks in my opinion so we're going to move on to the next place and keep hustling now we just did a hard off at a place called fresh paw shopping mall it's in yatta Kaito I think now this one is one of my favorites mainly because you can get some really good deals here especially in the past I picked up like cases CPU Ram fans on there and even GP using there's like 15 to 20 bucks so we're going to take a look and see what's inside see if we get a bargain so rockin up straight into this place we've got a power supply here which has got three rails there for the 12 volt line and that's essentially 500 Watts available there because they can combine to put out a lot and that's a dollar so someone roll the slack voice I'll take that and now up here we have a computer the cooler master case for 20 bucks but inside it looks like we've got LGA 771 am so going to pull this apart see what's inside and see if it's worth taking so we just pulled this thing open and it looks like we got a P 5v in here which should support LGA 771 Xeon so I gotta take this just because the motherboard looks pretty clean it's also got some graphics card in there but you got 4 gigabytes of what looks like overclockable memory inside even a power splay which is 400 watts but I'm not too concerned about that because that's probably what's wrong with this PC is this thing blew out most likely just because our clean it looks inside so we're definitely picking this up now rocking around the other side here they got some motherboards but you can see here like people have gone through and I'm pretty sure they just played bang their fingers on the pins because you've got $30 on this motherboard but I'm sure they wouldn't sell that with those type of pins for 30 bucks and ironically they've just got the motherboard here that I just picked up off Yahoo for 25 bucks this is the H 55 so1 for the upcoming build they've got one of these but again the pins are absolutely screwed same with this board here like such nice motherboards that again ruined on the pins but that's about it for this place so we're going to grab those two items and we're going to keep on hustling oh I just bought this and the guy said oh there's no power going into it and I checked the back and I'm pretty sure that's why someone put it on 230 volt in a country that has a hundred volt out of the walls I think that was your problem there but I'm not regardless anyway the power supply was like the worst thing in this build also we had another case in there a white one and I checked inside was a $30 one and there just feels 2 gig of ram and old motherboard really wasn't worth it so let's keep moving so we're the next heart off now and I don't exactly know where this one is so with that said I'd like to give a special shout out to my friend Google Maps what up and also before we went in here I don't know how to price up that case we got that case for $20 with all the parts inside so I'll sing at about five dollars because I mean I could easily sell that motherboard in a heartbeat for $15 so plus has got the ran the CPU and the CPU fan in there and most likely Boston power supply but anyway let's get inside and see what this place has got anyway we just got outside of that hot off and that was a complete Boston they also asked me to stop filming as soon as I went inside so don't know what's going on there maybe they don't want the bad word to be spread around about this hot off so I'll put the location in the description below brothers and avoid this one like the plague so we're just at a place called PC Depot now believe it or not they have some really good deals from time to time on used graphics cards and motherboards like that z77 that I picked up in the past for like $20 I got it from this exact one here and also the 79 70 and 60 CT eyes I got them from the PC depots to want a narrator and this one here so really good deals can be had if you look around at some of the PC depots but not just that they sometimes have really good prices on like 750 TI's and sort of new graphics cards at a mid-range and I find as well hard drives so if you're in the market for new hard drives you might want to check the PC depot sometimes they have sales on the weekends so there you go let's go in anyway have a look what they've got so we're just inside now and some of these deals in here are mediocre I mean their fair value kind of thing sitting at that level I don't know how much they've got on that 1060 armored Edition there but yeah it's kind of like not really a bust I wouldn't call it a boss but wouldn't really call it any bargains here either so we got a 69 50 there for around about $60 so kind of fair game here if you're looking to build like a fair value use PC then it wouldn't be too bad but nothing really that caught my eye here so let's get on to the next place so it is a hard off slash hobby off and this one usually has like they usually split up all the PC components here and then put them on the shelves but you can pick up some decent deals here so we'll take a look at what's inside see if they've got any good things cracking in there and see the other deals on wheels if you know how I feels so strolling through here they've got my $5 case that I was actually looking for but it's actually got some parts in this I'll check that one out and also this one here is $10 so I'll take a look at what's inside these two and see if there's anything worth getting inside them like damn you know like sometimes the screws are on so tight that you've just got to walk around the store and go to the bin here and just pick out a $1 screwdriver so you can open up the cases inside the store damn this thing looks like it's got ddr1 in there sir I mean if you get this thing and just be getting it for the case so I gotta say though case is kind of pretty cool for five bucks just so the next guy can feel my pain so actually upon opening this really ugly case it's actually got some pretty cool hardware inside so I'm thinking we're looking at around 2006 since this graphics card is a 6600 GT and also the gravis looks like it's the first iteration of PCI Express and we've got cited one there as well now this is only ten bucks so I'm guessing it's got a dual core in there and looks like a decent motherboard and a power supply now I would pick this up if I was staying in Japan longer because I'd love to give you guys another AMD use PC build just to see what this thing could do but you know I've unfortunately I've got to get parts that I've got to put in a box and post back to Australia so this one's kind of not worth it since it's so old it's not worth putting it in the box and me paying postage to post back to Australia so I'll let you guys know on the description below where this heart off is so if anyone wants to come and pick this up then they can so it's not a bad deal so I'm just looking through their motherboards now and it's like p45 neo and they're asking like $32 dreamin like that's a dollar that's not too bad like if you knew how to retrofit that onto a motherboard that actually be really good value for money I've actually used one of these in the past on a build really not bad value for a dollar that's a lot of metal it's actually two of them here so damn so I want better get down to this heart off and pick up some of these deals like I'd post them back to Oz if they didn't weigh so much damn so other than that they've also got this at the front here as well I 340 130 build for around about $200 that's not too bad if you were just to stick like a 750ti in it you'd be pretty good to go other than that yet not a whole lot here that I'd be diving for I mean some of the stuff is fair value like I think they have a power supply here at the back a gold Strider there it is Silverstone Strider gold that's around $80 me that's an 850 watt power supply so that's not too bad as well yeah kind of like fair game here so that's about it let's go get on home and put all the deals out on the table and talk used parts it's on the way home Google Maps found another heart off which is really not out of the way so at this point in time I'm a Google Maps fanboy and also we're going to go in and see if they got deals one last time so I'm just looking through this place now and it's like there is nothing here I think someone's raided this place already because the junk bins are just full of like literally junk I mean yeah I mean what the hell is that like an Intel hietzing that I've never seen before also some of the labels on the stuff it's like that old that it's like yellowed it's like okay I think that means they need a kind of like recheck their deals and maybe change the prices up a little bit so I'm finally back at the hotel now and today was really awesome because I was looking for a case and also those cream-of-the-crop deals and I got it all in one at that place at the fresco so that was really cool I'm just going to take all the pots out of this case and then ship them back to Oz I'm not even going to test I'm just going to take a gamble and also that power supply I'm going to test that pretty soon and see if that works but um the other places did have some good deals but I kind of passed up on them due to the situation and I went on a Tuesday so I'll suited and booted and the reason was for that is because I finished work and I literally took the car and just went straight hunting and I was lucky because it was a Tuesday and there was really no traffic at all so on that note if you guys are going to be PC part hunting in Japan I'd recommend going on a Tuesday if you're driving because they'll be leave least amount of traffic and also go on a Friday if you're looking for the best deals because on a Friday I find that's when all the new stock gets on the shelves so now I'm going to get on now to building this PC here and get the final build done for you guys so I can't wait to do that and that should be out tomorrow but I have to edit it and whatnot so I don't know exactly when it'll hit the channel but I'll get it as soon as I can so if you guys like this video then please give it a big fat like and also if you have any hunts and deals that you've scored in the past let me know in this conversation below I love reading all the comments and I look forward to seeing you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye alright so the power supply boots works and also something else about this power supply as it was actually five dollars and it doesn't have any of the connectors on it so I'm gonna have to splice in a solder connector on the 24 pin and maybe use it in like a 70 50 TI build or something but not to worry $5 is good for a power supply put it in a box and post it back to Australia for what they're worth that's just what I'm thinking at the moment so yeah I think we'll give this one a pass you guys know where this place is I'll put in description below so I wanted to come and pick up this one some guys telling an overhead projector not now hang on Steve what's he asking 150 tally means dreaming yeah
