so after doing a few more PC builds for you guys a lot of people have been requesting that I go to the junk stores and show you guys the deals live so today and tomorrow I'm going to be documenting just that and yes I am wearing my PJs because I just don't care welcome back to take us City this is brain coming to you guys today with the video that I'm just going to go around and do a massive hunt and show you the deals that I get and what goes through my head when I'm buying some of these deals and what I look for when I buy the parts so the first place we're going to go to is a place called wonder X and now they just sell they basically get stuff off people and they don't give them that much money for it then they just put it in their stores and resell it and some of those things can be computer parts so hopefully we'll go there and we might get lucky but let's find out okay so they've got like laptops and tablets here but generally all the stuff in the case you're not going to get a deal because they've tested it and they know it works and they're going to mock it up alright so over at the junk section now and it's a bust also if you're into retro gaming they've got like super nintendo games and like a and nintendo 64 games and stuff like that but let's get on to the next place because yeah this place as I said before was a bust okay so at the main section here all the junk pieces are at another one direct and it's pretty much a boss here as well I mean we've got a Dell here for ten bucks it's got Windows XP on it so it's gonna have a really dated motherboard and CPU same with this one here there's an optic plex down there for fifty dollars which wouldn't be too bad but I mean I've got way better deals in the past before so we're gonna skip out on that one this one here is just a case and a power supply this one here is got an AGP socket on it and you know you guys want to vist the key there you go be my guest and we've got a thirty dollar case with nothing it's just got old crap in it and same with these three here so we've just got a big massive boss here except for this thing I'm going to open this up and check what's inside this since it does look like a server great PC ok so I've opened this thing up and damn like there is a cooler like just floating around in here some dudes like pulled off like the memory out of the two I mean wow like I usually take Gamble's and stuff but this thing would just not a no like with a friggin cooler floating around in there for how long man I'm not too game to try that since all that's to do is just essentially hit one of these resistors busted off and your whole motherboards toast pretty much so yeah but it has a looks like a call to Joy from 2005 so in the motherboard itself is going to be pretty dated anyway so we are going to keep looking around see if there's any other deals in here all right so we got here a Pentium 4 and it's $10 oh my god bust 550 what passed by cost $60 cases bust boss and that's another bust right there bust bust bust bust bust Star Wars ceramic mug okay doc Darth Maul bust okay Star Wars ceramic mug number two let's have a look please be Joe Joe please be judge ah come on Jar Jar Binks yes look at that judge yes Jar Jar Binks I'm getting that I'm getting that so yesterday was just a complete bust except for the Jar Jar Binks mug I mean check that like that just made the whole trip worthwhile yesterday make something Google refine some punch today so today we're going junk hunting new day new prospects and the place is called hard off it's just like Wonder X they buy you stuff and then they resell it and yeah hopefully we can find some deals so let's head there and see if we can get lucky all right so we are now at a different place called hard off and we can see here we've got a pretty good case for fifty dollars it's man check case and a Core 2 6300 so we're gonna open this up and just have a little look at what's inside in terms of the motherboard and what not because it does have a 320 GB hard drive in there which is an indication that it is a pretty decent spec computer but let's take a look anyway so pull it apart now and it's got a decent power supply it's got a hard drive in there it's also got a lot of fans in there and it's also got a massive cooler down it's also interesting got a heatsink on the North Bridge so I'm actually going to take this because the case is just that damn good so let's get it so now there's something else I want to talk about and that's in Japan the deals like why there's so many good deals and one of the reasons for that is because in Japan you actually have to pay money to dump a lot of your stuff like especially computers and stuff like that so what a lot of people do is they just go to these places like hard off from one direction they just essentially dump their stuff and get a little bit of money back so it's a lot cheaper to do that as opposed to going to the dump or the tip where you have to pay money in Japan so that's the reason why I guess you can get a lot of good deals in Japan but anyway let's get to the next place and see if we can get lucky so we go deal here and it's a GT 730 which yeah I mean junk that's not really that good so yeah it's mediocre I mean if it was definitely working I think about taking it because it's junk I'm still gonna take a gamble on like $40 which just isn't worth it and another one now actually looking around here we've got Apple these old Apple whatever they are a 104 sevens and they've got three of them but I mean for $50 that's not too bad considering how good this case is I mean it's made of all steel and yeah I could do a really cool project with that so when you take a look at what's inside see what parts are in there and then I might get what I might get this so we're at the next hard off right now and I didn't take up that Apple 10:47 because I checked on my smartphone the specs were like 2003 or 2004 it depends on the model so I would have just been buying that PC just for the case so I mean I can think about that one because there was three different cases there and let's get in with the next place and see if there's any deals so we've scope this place out and this looks like a really good deal I mean it's got an i3 in it and it's just missing out all that's missing is the hard drive essentially so damn I'm actually going to see if there's boots up and and I want to see if it's got a graphics card there so we're just checking this laptop out at the moment and you see the screens doing something really crazy I can't even check the specs mean my guess would be like something inside is a bit loose maybe the cable insides come loose but even then it's still a gamble so I think I just want to miss even though it may have pretty good specs in there I'm just not too sure so we've found a power supply here for five dollars so this is pretty good I mean it's got 50 amps on the 12 volt line so it's actually really good one thing though it is missing those proprietary connectors so I will have to kind of hack this up or try and find a way to get a solder connector out of it but otherwise should be good to go for a build and that's if it works and another one all right so we've walked into this place and there's a ten dollar alpha on XP here it's not too bad but I mean whoa yeah like that is that's bill thing I mean I was about to say like I get this maybe just for the power supply in the case but this thing is like really disgusting like this looks like it's a health hazard so and it says here the BIOS doesn't even get to the BIOS so yeah might give that one a Miss that's pretty interesting to four to seven but still a bit overpriced I think because you know it's got a busted and motherboard in there and send about a 95 2400 so kind of a bust here but let's keep looking to see if we will find anything so another really good thing about these places is that they got really cheap keyboards and mice so you pick something up for like 3 bucks like this and then get a mouse for like a dollar and your home and home so we're in this one now and they've got I mean if that was a 480 I'd pick it up for 50 bucks but it's for 60 then they've got a 58 74 60 $60 I mean not really good deals I got a five 64 75 that's a complete fast so yeah the grams cars kind of a boss I mean the powers way looks like this here looks pretty good either 850 watts already power supply for I think it's $80 or something that's not too bad if I needed a really good power supply same with this they've got a/c sonic power supply there so I might never think but yeah I mean it's just priced at that level that's not really worth it same with some of the PC's here so this place is kind of like they know their prices and they're trying to get that extra bit for it which kind of pushes me out of the out of the race though this is a ten dollar PC and you guys are probably thinking the same thing as me like what the actual is going on here Wow that is by far the most dirtiest case I have ever seen in my life I don't even think a proper cleanse from brake cleaner would fix this one off so we've got here what looks like a LGA 1156 motherboard but the problem is is that when we zoom in there there's like I can pin that's just completely missing like I even know what the hell's going on there it's just completely gone so I'm not going to take a gamble with that one no way the $30.00 though you can keep them on the board and I'll keep my money I saw at another place now and they've got a mini ITX H 81 motherboard for 30 bucks like I'll take that and they've also got a z77 motherboard for 20 bucks okay that's that's pretty damn crazy so I'll be taking both these motherboards I still got to think about whether I'm going to be taking this I means to the GTX 580 miles edition it's $200 but damn these graphics cards were worth an absolute fortune when they were first released so I'm just gonna quickly check if it's three gigabytes shared or if that's three gigabytes total so we just got out of there we got the two motherboards and now we're gonna go to the last place the final destination another hard off and I did pass up that Mars card I know probably some people out there probably hate me for it but essentially you've only got one half gigabytes of frame buffer there and four to five ATS in SLI that's you know that's a pretty limited frame buffer especially even like for 1080p gaming so yeah pass that one up even though I love the weight of the cards look at the card and I think it's got like a 22 phase vrm on it too so it's pretty crazy but anyway let's get on to the next place as I mean even then I can come back and get this deal if it's still there I mean I can go home and think about it more not so let's get on to the last place anyway all right we read the last one now I've actually never been here before this is hard off off house all right let's go inside and see if they got any deals okay so at the last hot off here and I mean it is just a Pentium 4 Bonanza in here but I still got to check some of these pieces to see if any of them actually worth getting I mean yeah but it's looking like I mean I can't really find anything too good except one thing I did see was this keyboard it's actually interesting because it's an NEC from back in the day and it's been a very interesting switch here I don't exactly know what that is so maybe someone knows what kind of switch that kind of feels pretty interesting does kind of feel like a mechanical switch not too short that one is but yeah they want 50 bucks for it anyway so looks like it might have been popular but not at that price alright so we've picked some stuff up off the shelves here we've got a pounce by five and watt power supply for ten bucks pretty good deal we're doing a 3500 plus socket 939 CPU for three bucks it looks like it's actually brand new so wise we'll pick that up and then we got the accompanying motherboard for it which they got eight dollars there but when we flip it around it's got five dollars so I think I'll take the five dollar price tag on that so they got like a mouse here for a dollar just like a laser mouse so I found this on the junk section - it's a US 122 it's like an audio interface I mean looks really good it's only missing the cable and they haven't checked it yet so I really flipped that you make 50 bucks on it or something so we found one PC here in the junk section that looks pretty good ones are taking the panel off and ironically it's actually got no price tag on it so I have to get to the front counter and see what they're gonna ask for it because it's got a pretty damn decent power supply in there 600 watts in sonic powers play it's also got a p5q LGA 775 motherboard and of course a cooler on it and yeah it looks like it's got a hard drive in there too so if we pick this up for even ten twenty bucks man be a really good deal like really really good so so we handled them down and we ended up getting this for ten bucks so wow that was a really cool deal that's easily the best deal yet today so awesome let's uh finish up and get home Booya so there we have it this is the final score here we have a fifty dollar case this was all that LGA 775 stuff that's pretty much complete I'm just going to check out the graphs got a bit later we had two motherboards picked up here that was twenty and thirty dollar sales another fifty bucks and then we had this AMD cpu and a motherboard for it and then pounds plus five bucks so that was eight five eight three five three we're three five and five so that's $13 and then we had ten dollars for another power supply 20 dollars for this thing here the audio interface and then we got this for ten bucks which was just one of the best deals I've got to date so that is freaking amazing and all that came to like one hundred and fifty something dollars plus the jar-jar mark I mean I told you that was good luck I mean jar-jar binks said it was gonna happen so it did happen and all that was about 160 dollars so that is a massive haul this is probably one of the biggest holes I've done on the weekend because people wanted to see deals and you guys got deals so there we have it that was just one awesome weekend of hunting deals and I'm glad you guys got to see the whole thing step by step and if you guys liked this video then be sure to give it a big thumbs up and if you have any questions or comments about today's and yesterday's massive hunt then be sure to drop a call in the comment section below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can and if you haven't already subscribe to tokyo city because from here on we've got a lot more builds coming and one thing I will point out is that I've still got to test these parts as some of them could be busted you know parts in those pcs especially could be broken so I'm gonna have to diagnose and test and see if it works but hopefully it all works I mean lately I've been getting lucky I mean today I think I got extremely lucky so yeah awesome bills to come and I'll look forward to seeing you guys in another tech video so peace out for now bye I know you guys are thinking you're like I want to see if the pots work I want to see if they work well I'm gonna do a junk or funk test right now for you guys alright we got first off we have a funk right here files water recovery I know what's going on here but at least some list of you know CPU works and stuff so we'll figure that out later bounce by works okay so the power button is completely mangled on this case I'll have to quickly see if I can fix it you see if we get a signal out of this thing jungle funk baby alright cool so it looks like the machine is working perfectly fine except for the gravis card that does look like it is pretty much screwed there so and that's not a problem since the graphics card is the least of my concerns with this one which is pretty cool okay so now it's time to test the five-dollar power supply let's see what happens here okay that's pretty cool we get a beep now to just boot this thing up mom come on there we go all right awesome so the five dollar pals play looks like it's working let's try the $10 pounce play that's pretty good so far surfacing boots on okay all right so this pounce blade does work too I kind of thought it wouldn't since it did have a weird smell coming from it but there you have it candle pal spies working too so we've got like it looks like here all funk and no junk except for that motherboard on the first PC which could be busted and lastly our task cam is being recognized in Windows in the device manager so we've got what looks like old funk and no junk I still have to test the motherboard out but I will need CPUs and whatnot for that BA looks like we've got a really good score and I'll catch you in the next tag video
