so I'm enjoying my day off trying to play a bit of dota2 got a fresh haircut and then I jump onto my latest video and I check through the comments section and people basically saying the yes-man B the BS men and I got a little bit offended I was thinking damn all this hustle it's all real all those phone calls they're all real so instead of talking the talk here today we're just gonna jump in the yes 'mobile and go for a bit of a mid-month hustle and see what deals we can quickly come up with on the spot now keep in mind this won't be the used PC part Sun of the month that'll be coming on later on in the month when I go overseas so stay tuned for that one but today we're gonna see what we can snap up in terms of deals but also if we fail on some of the deals we're gonna go through my thought process as well in relation to that now in the previous video the prices that I said I would pay is based on where I live which is on the Gold Coast Australia now where I live the use PC parts market is pretty healthy regardless of the prices of new graphics cards which they are a bit more expensive here especially tempered DT is from retails for example have gone up 10 60 s as well that really hasn't flowed on a whole lot to the used PC part market you've just got a lot more guys now wanting to buy used grams cards so that's making the demand for use grabs cards ever so more than it previously was you still go guys however out there who want to go buy a new graphics card and they'll pay the extra money for it they want a 1060 day instead of paying 300 bucks they'll go pay 400 bucks because they want a new graphics card and what they'll do is they'll say well I paid $400 for my previous graphics card and I'll go sell that for 150 bucks and they don't really care about there's this whole tech YouTube community going on there's this whole cryptocurrency mining thing going on they're not even part of that they don't even know about it so generally they're the kind of guys and there's a lot of them you're gonna get good deals off if that makes any sense but anyway there's a lot more to deal hunting than just the price so as I said before today we'll go into some of the fails but also some of the other deals out there we've got an R 7 360 lined up for 40 Australian dollars got a whole PC that looks almost brand new for 600 or strained now one Australian dollar is a lot weaker than a US dollar and i will be talking today's video in Australian dollars and this PC basically has an ex 79 Mini ITX motherboard 500 bytes Samsung Evo SSD so you're thinking about - Ram motherboard case power supply GTX 780 for the win Edition so this thing I got some plans for it and we also as well managed to pick up and this is another thing about being quick go to GTX 1060 off eBay with a sale for $285 astraying so this is all recent anyway when a lot of people call me out in the comment section instead of talking the talk I'm gonna go walk the walk so let's do it so we just got back from the post office had to pick up a heap of different boxes as well and we've got the deals too so went for a drive got these two deals here this is an r7 360 got that 440 ozzie so we'll put that on the testbed a bit later but this is the main prize here from shuttle never heard of this before shuttle X PC I have heard of X PC they do do water cooling but I never knew they made their own motherboard which is really weird I don't know if that's an OEM license from a company like ours rock or MSI but we'll check a bit later too but this is a cool thing here look at this cooler I believe it's an air cooler but it looks like a water cooler and that's coming off the CPU in the middle there so X 79 Mini ITX with the GTX 780 EVGA for the win now my plans honestly my plans with this is to take the 780 out and that GTX 1060 that we just bought for 280 bucks we chucked that in and we got this for 600 Australian dollars - so we chuck in the ten sixty that we cost us two hundred eighty bucks and we put this up for eleven hundred bucks so we try and pull some profit off that and we get a free GTX 780 that's what I was planning to do with this thing and of course there's like literally no cleaning that needs to be done besides a bit of wd-40 on this thing so the previous owner Tim who I met he was really nice he obviously took really good care of this thing so let's boot it up and see what it's all about and everything's booting up it's absolutely fine one thing I noticed is the fan is PWM controlled and it's a little bit of that inferior technology from back in the day where it's literally like PWM controlled to the degree so you can probably just hear it I mean I can hear it here it's just up and down constantly in these little micro increments and it's actually pretty annoying and I'm not even OCD also another thing too is this windows it's unoptimized its filthy so let's quickly optimize this so we tried overclocking this PC and as I'm overclocking it I noticed the name of the PC it keeps greeting me with kirt so I guess it's telling me something maybe I got to change my name to Kurt so let's reroll that intro welcome back to tokyo city this is kurt coming to you guys today with a new video but when we got down to it with this shuttle PC it has a shuttle BIOS in it's an OEM proprietary thing and it does have the option to overclock the CPU but it's not locking in those over clocks no matter what I do they're just shaky I'll get performance it's even less than the stock clocks I did manage however to get the X and P profiles in so that's a decent thing but for what it's worth this bias is useless and trying to flash another boss on is just a nightmare with this thing as well and I have been down this route before and it generally doesn't work out for me so instead of wasting a day with this thing I'm just gonna leave it as it is and actually change the fans to mid mode so they actually sound okay they're not fluctuating and the temperatures are pretty good so pretty happy with that but let's check out that r7 360 so the r7 360 is working absolutely fine but you may notice it's a little bit dirty so what we're gonna do is I'm gonna get out of the data vac and now last time people were complaining that I cleaned my computer parts on the carpets so this time around what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna put it back down on the carpet and clean it again so this is the first time I've seen the data vac not give me a satisfactory clean look at that I could probably clean that off with my finger better have no fear however when we do a build we shall hose it down in brake cleaner so now here's the DMS of two deals I've pulled up here I pulled up the r9 290 that was up for sale for 240 originally so I offered 190 Australian dollars which again with my recent video I did falls right in line with the prices I'm prepared to pay and he said sorry mate looking for a higher price I just said well how about 200 and he said 220 it's all yours and now 220 is going too high so I just said no I can only do 200 so he said he'll get back to me and then he said he wanted to twenty and then I said pretty much no way so basically going back to now the gtx 1060 i picked that up at 285 shipped to my door so why would you pay 224 nine 290 that's old it uses up a lot more power and gets less performance under ten sixty and so not only that it's the gigabyte model back in the r9 290 days so it wasn't that good to begin with i believe it couldn't really keep that thing under wraps so here's the next deal we got up here is the gtx 780 Ti going through the DMS I just say 161 that's all I'm prepared to pay there's actually been a lot of offers already he said he's not negotiable and so at $200 he can keep his 780ti so that's just how it is with those deals now some other deals I pulled up here I've got this one here I'm gonna pick that up later in the week GTX 580 $50 Australian so that's a pretty good price I've put an offer a down on this one it's got a broken fan 70 Australian dollars so I put in an offer of $60 hopefully they get back to me don't think they've logged into Gumtree for a few days so anyway but there it is guys I'm just like I said I draw a line that's what I'm prepared to pay if it goes over that I ain't buying it it's just a discipline thing if you pay too much for it then you're going to end up losing money especially if you want to turn around and flip these pcs or test them out or you're making them from a friend then you're only losing money right 20 bucks in my pocket is better than 20 dollars in some guy I've never met before is pocket so that's just how it goes also I've been getting messaged from some people who are listing on gumtree and after I do the use parts hunt they they get a lot of lowball offers after I do that used monthly parts on now I don't know what to say I just I love you guys a lot this is funny anyway you just got to keep home with those prices remember only pay what you're prepared to pay you're prepared to get ripped off for a gravis card then go get ripped off those prices I put in that guide is what I'm prepared to pay and I'm sticking to those prices even if the cryptocurrency mining boom continues which I'll tell you something back from 2008 something that I don't forget when ez free money is flowing around it doesn't flow around for that long so this cryptocurrency mining thing it might last another six months but again in the grand scheme of things it's only another six months after that six months you could see a massive crash you could see ten sixties going for really cheap so ten seventies as well so anyway back to the video all right so we've got some other things on the table here this is Z 370 from Oris they sent it in they said it's got double the phases of the original one they said people were complaining about the original Z 370 being a little bit weak what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna try blow this thing up for you guys see how much it can handle we'll put it to the test also this right here is a special gift from deep cool and man I got it right look at that tech you're City swag on those fans I think we just quickly boot these up and see that logo light up so the three fans are booted up and they look so good so big thanks the deep cool for sending these out I'm definitely gonna be using these in some kind of custom build or they just gonna they're gonna play a role on the channel because that's just wicked I love that so now next up here we've got a test bed well I do not sure if this is actually a testbed but I guess you could make it a testbed if you just leave the front panel off so total wind up on Twitter he saw that I was in desperate need of a testbed and he sent one over so thank you so much for that I'll put it to good use but one thing I will quickly explain to you guys with this whole setup over here I'm actually waiting for the second 32 inch monitor to rock up and then I was gonna warm out to 32 inch monitors for my main setup so that was actually a funny story because it all ties in with this here I've actually been waiting for a monitor from aoc ages ago they had a 32 inch monitor and I thought oh well that was gonna go perfect but they never sent it I don't know and also on that note they still have to send one of the giveaway winners from a giveaway we did a while back they still have to send a monitor out to one of the subscribers in lift-away near as well so I don't know what's going on with AOC but it's a little bit weird anyway the sonic saw the review I did on their 4k monitor and they noticed that I tested the input lag and they loved that they were like look like that's what we're about low input lag really low input lag they sort of want to make a name for themselves with having really good gaming monitors so they said how about you take a look at a gaming monitor and I was like wow this is perfect so this monitor here I'm gonna review this see how good the input lag is see how good it is for a VA panel because I have heard that VA panels do have quite bad response times and I have heard that there is the Samsung version of this as well so we're gonna see how this stacks up for gaming I'll take a look at that for you guys and also once that's finished then I'll be completing this section here or this section here is what was over there as well the monitor arm finally rocked up as well for the streaming desk so get ready because there's gonna be a lot of cool content coming even though you guys already know that the contents been coming I mean look at this I've been doing way too much wheeling at the moment and not enough dealing to the stage where this place is just getting stacked with stuff so when it comes down to it deal hunting at least for me is a hobby I love doing it now some of the times you will get people who are aggressive and they do basically tell you to f off when you throw in an offer that's gonna happen anything you do in life you're gonna get people who will be angry if something you just go to ignore that and keep hustling because there are so many people that I've got deals off who have been wonderful people they've been awesome and it makes me want to keep going just like you guys the audience most of you guys are really awesome and you support the channel makes me want to keep making content same is with deal hunting don't be afraid to drop in and offer even call someone up throw in an offer and suss out a deal another thing to with use PC parts hunting you've got to be quick a lot of the times especially if that deal is really good don't be afraid to throw in near the asking price I've seen some people throw up graphics cards that are really good prices they just don't really know what it's worth but then people try and lowball them on that already low offer you generally won't see me doing that because I know what things are worth I will put in just a little snipe but I won't go the full monty where he would go on like $150 gtx 1060 and someone's thrown an offer of $75 I doubt the guy's gonna be selling his 10 64 75 bucks for example but it was me I'd be dropping in maybe 135 you know just doing a little snake trying to get that deal anyway guys hope you enjoyed today's video if you did the me sure to hit that like button and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye another thing too guys if you're selling pcs make sure you log out of your accounts the person who sold me this PC is still logged into their email because I went to download Google Chrome and there's a lot of NDA stuff in the titles man I'm know you're gonna read this stuff I'm gonna log straight out but if this wound up in the wrong hands man damn so guys if you sell on pcs make sure you mind yeah you don't have any sensitive information up in your computers holy damn there you go I'd expect there I'd expect people to do the same for me but not everyone would unfortunately and also on that pretty but today we're gonna look through some of the deals so you can convert it on Google see what I prep pay where you guys play also before I get on with this video I will say the place the beautiful Gold Coast that I live in is blessed
