$500 PC TEAM BATTLE - Scrapyard Wars Season 5 - Ep1

welcome to season five of scrapyard wars the competition is going to be hotter than ever because luke and I are traveling to sunny California to take on yes we're going to be on a team for the first time Paul from Paul's hardware and Kyle from awesomesauce news network win it's a team battle everyone gets 500 American US dollars to build the best RGB gaming computer they can make sure it's all there yeah you know him and go oh yeah and it's brought to you by iFixit and fresh look okay ready guys three two one okay two teams how to build the best gaming rig they can for five hundred dollars the rules are simple you'll work within the set hours you buy the parts you use and you can't use your influence as a youtuber to get deal oh and the best RGB computer gets a 10% score bonus welcome to scrap York get the money I think so yeah I guess okay coconut where does everybody build but you guys to be there we'll go there we're there you guys are in the kitchen okay all right we get the we came in a bed house little bit I don't know they apparently have a lot of confidence that I think it's unjustified because these guys are these guys are cruising for a cruisin for a bruisin here we need laptops that we don't know what the heck is going on we don't remember that we don't know anything around here right and also that this isn't the real money this is Paul and Kyle's money that we have to give back to them it's kind of hungry I'm like oh okay you can please okay we have temporally water you know what why are you getting all the water like it's really hot here and we're gonna pour water out so this is your money so tell me better okay how are you guys giving money we'll have to go get the real money from the hotel room where I left it but it's okay I can just give you some of this money and then you can reenact tomorrow that's good season well we left it on like the counter in the bathroom and we didn't put the Do Not Disturb on and it's like a thousand dollars of actual money so I actually don't know if I were going to go back to the hotel room I think I'm just going to roll the dice on the money on counter because we've only got two and a half days effectively we started so late we've never worked together I don't even know what to say to you I know I'm just automatically looking things up yeah I'm like I'm looking at Goodwill electronic recycling right now okay okay so how about I I start tracking down what's on craig's do they have tgd here I don't know about Khadijah here I don't really think so because Kijiji is owned by EBA and EBA is bigger in the state now you were saying this earlier like they might not know that Orange County is pretty near nearby here so if we're lucky they might end up hitting hitting up LA Craigslist which is going to be a hella trap is this Ontario Canada pre-gig Toronto yeah no no dice yes I looking at LA this is our home field advantage if they are looking at LA traffic or if they're looking at le locations they might get all the way into LA which is to the north but we're like right on the border to your South Orange County I think our initial role should be to try to find a really cheap complete system but somebody's telling that you can get basically like a taste and a power supply that we can get like dirt cheap and then part I think sorry the integration is going to be a challenge but I feel like we might consider I would have an ace-in-the-hole an option which is my percentage to make sure we ash we head out or just I just realize that we can't leave them here though because I hunt them up I have to lock the door I love how that we get the workshop it's awesome except they said it's gonna be really hot and that has central air and this doesn't oh so we we thought that they were no I didn't oh did you clear into the workshop so you knew that we were getting on immediately yeah great you were like let's we take the workshop it was like oh crap okay well I'm sorry alright interrupt we just realize we all need to leave together because I need to lock the door otherwise it will be unlocked and just whenever we go this isn't Canada guy I know we log on our door adorable people will kill us you know second key yet you have a key like I'm I realize I'm asking for a large door work garage doors not really not unfortunately all right I have an idea but we'll discuss when the cameras are off okay so here it is strictly platonic here we go wait what am i doing so la sucks what I mean by this is there's like nothing there in terms of you PC parts everything's Mac books you know what I think the first thing we have to do is is get our bearings like maybe the reason you can't find anything for Ontario is that that's not like like a relevant research thing yeah like like where it's like Orange County and there's like Hollywood and Hollywood like now or with a lot I just mean so these are like are these counties is El Monte these are all really small okay the Los Angeles is like a fair ways that way I think I don't even know where Hollywood is all I know is there's a big sign that I've never seen even though I've been to LA like quite a few times these guys are leaving already you guys are leaving already yes yeah I mean you understand what happens in this area with traffic after yet satellites don't the amethyst it's have to been not like it's going to matter they will be traffic forever I thought that fantasy you get it's true okay bye well what are we gonna do I hate you I have a feeling they're just going to come oh that makes sense those guys are so foolish you know what I think that these guys actually if they actually intend to get out there today are going to be in for a rude surprise in terms of like research matters yeah how not efficient that is yeah maybe it was kind of unfair and like sort of us to sakta tunes like this little man then again like I'm going to be killing my signal tonight killing myself said kicking myself at the very least for saying something like that and potentially we've been potentially losing forgot somebody bribe the judges what if we had food does it somehow associated with the system that they can eat and the food was colored red green and blue like green eggs and ham Pepa thing like on the our spot I don't know maybe okay maybe I guess that color crazy I just I'm trying to fall here intentionally start out ideas we're going to make like a you know a fast food run right before we get to the judges that in like maybe like put all the food inside the case when they open it up you know like dinner served make a swim that should work out perfectly that or paint I mean I mean if we can't if we can't find anything that lights up RGB maybe there's some things at your house maybe there's some things that light up at your house that aren't necessarily oh I guess we couldn't use any day I never have to buy everything buy everything I'm going to call this place right now okay hey Jared I was wondering if you guys sell any like sort of pre-built systems that are somewhat more fully functional no sorry about that alphabet alphabet wait you can just miss your chance to meet me God all right I don't know I thought I thought we weren't allowed to go into the 909 oh that's a dangerous area what's no it's not is it nine I know there's nothing crackhead that means that men will be willing to sell computer points provide really cheap okay I obviously go back for quite a while we work together Newegg we do regular regular weekly live show on Tuesday evenings 5:30 p.m. Pacific time and it's been good so far I think we have a good basic understanding of like you know working together and everything so that's good we're pretty used to each other's vibe and can really feed on each other's ideas and things like that we're really good at bouncing back back and forth ideas so so far it's been a pretty positive experience whatever what's the rule is look like I plead with crackheads if we bought some crack or something at like a really good rate crack let's say we knew a guy right and then we could bring it out to that area and perhaps we can trade up you know and get more for they would all just kind of come screwing I don't know what the rules are a scrap yard works for like an intermediary form of currency or crabs Arabs or sometimes I can be a little sporadic and scatterbrained and he brings back to focus but then I could sort of drive the urgency so I think it's a nice balancing angry hi I was wondering if you guys sell any pre-built computer systems okay I'm thinking this might be a good area to kind of have as a base of operations we're in Rowland Heights right now Newegg is located just a few blocks that way as well as quite a few of the larger manufacturers of parts like MSI's over there gigabytes over there is Oh Tex over there there's a lot of kind of techy people in that you know might work would actually work with them directly not that we're like trying to find anyone we know but I feel like I feel like in this area with your final that's a good idea so I think maybe get some food and while we're sitting down we can make some calls via Craigslist or something like that I think if we get I think if we get food than we've already won really that's probably true you can't can't hum for computer parts on the empty stomach from minute zero you have to bust or else you're just going to fail I'm so glad that we stopped here at least sandwiches purveyors of fine Vietnamese baguette based sandwiches and stuff to eat and recoup and gather I thought I agree also we're so overconfident I think so fresh books of sponsorship is that we use the fresh books app to track all of our our expenses so we could do time tracking but like we're not doing anything we're doing but you basically just go like this and then you just like put what it is and how much it was and the currency will you do distress and then you attach or see this take a fit picture all right yeah I don't know why we were ever using a spreadsheet for this before I'm sorry I will get Excel open at some point here and everything will be fine well I was just wondering if you guys sell used computer parts arts yeah maybe what are you looking for I generally know but what do you got what you need um basically we're like we're trying to build a pretty good gaming system for a friend but we've only got like a few hundred bucks so we don't have a huge budget and we were thinking maybe buying used to be a good idea so my guess is you'd be interested in when those machines parts well I know what you're looking for specifically meaning all we do is match versal oh okay yeah I think I think we were looking for Windows so thank you very much then you look at PC parts on Craigslist it comes up with mac mag lock power adapters it's all max max to the max MacBook Air hi Mac MacBook Pro Apple Mac Remote this is what I'm dealing with here we should just build a Mac like what are we expecting for five hundred US dollars so someone wants four hundred bucks for an r7 370 FX 83 28 gigs ram one terabyte hard drive holy this is not like as cheap as I was sort of hoping it would be there is a 970 for 190 bucks should we decide now like do we go for the RGB modifier or do we forget about it I think we don't focus on it oh they still to start do you think they're gonna go for it we could try and do it creatively like we could buy like red green and blue paint yeah I thought about that but making that look genuinely cool might be difficult maybe not if we had enough time like it's hot here so paint would dry really fat have you ever done like cornering cornering like use a few different emails this whole number is too low ball super hard and then like do a more reasonable one she's not you have ever done that I'm scrap yard or is that okay okay okay should I get on creating a few Gmail's I have a few okay so we're half an hour in and I have got the scrapyard Wars Five Dock open in my activated copy of word that's where I'm at I got honestly almost nothing done for the first hour I was just wondering if you guys sell used computer parts no nothing like that we don't sell part hi I was wondering if you guys have used computer components for sale I mean you could check around within the shackled stance the garage you can check those guys I really hope those guys are like not finding anything right now because there's not a lot of time I just found a really good deal on Craigslist it was a 2500 K overclockable for ninety bucks in Garden Grove but I kind of screwed up I emailed them from my business email they're like so he knows if he knows if he recognizes me but in any way shape or form that means we can't do the deal technically we will subscribe your doors so I'm really hoping that I notice something doesn't recognize you then we would just want to confirm yes we will pay this much and we will come and get it yeah and then it wouldn't matter because we would have confirmed the price beforehand right okay so Inland Empire Norco actually we have a I 520 500k based systems this is a complete system for $450 of course their memory looks like an 8 gig - seems like to four gigs 667 motherboard a GTX 950 a graphics card so it's not that great but at sea Sonics attended watt power supply ocv 240 K SSB and even some like LED red LED fans and stuff so maybe maybe we could reply and ask him if we could just omit the gtx 950 since we don't need it as well as like there's like bundling some other crappy gaming peripherals mother for keyboard and maybe if we could just eliminate those and try to talk him down on price because right now it's forward in 50 bucks which is most of our budget but if we can cut that that down like 350 or something they think ketchup and mustard cables count as RGB oh okay did you didn't leave your backpack did you laptop no kind of careless idiot do the game we need to do something today that we need to we got to stop somewhere you need to interact with other humans it feels like we haven't done anything like when we went to leave and ate sandwiches which was delicious I don't regret that in fact we could just go back there again tomorrow I think oh my god what if we just like went to a scrap yard and like found some metal and like dent it going we've got iFixit kids yeah maybe word so what does the iFixit protect toolkit have in it okay we've got a 64-bit screwdriver kit is that is that is that good for bending metal I mean it'll help us like fix it together no okay it's got their their prying tools I'm thinking steel sheet steel no not what that's for suction cup to removing screens we've got we've got ESD safe tweezers and ESD wrist strap so this looks great for stabbing you for terrible idea of your ID host have yourself that was not my idea to bend the middle I thought I was gonna make it out of wood okay well okay so the iFixit kid is good for lots of things like making a key sort of wood like making no it's not good for making a case out of winter together it's good for reasonable things hi called up computer recycling team and was recommended to you I'm looking to buy some used computer component I have a be quiet under one fully modular power supply into a z9t XSL I take it by word that living 50 socket I don't bring a new that's it Minotaur we also have gaming towers we have seen you coolers power suppliers all that stuff don't bring you've never been touched we're pretty comfortable with DIY and and used stuff like we would we don't have that kind of a budget like I can already tell that power supply is going to be like half of what we would have to spend well everything is 50% off whatever in home prices okay um so you said you're going to have some more use and do those motherboards that you had to go through tomorrow do those have CPUs and RAM in them as well it could be dig through the file oh when we're actually all out of CDs right at the moment when that stuff comes in is gone within 10 hours best understand wave um better graphics cards we buy everything wholesale so we just buy pallets of stuff then sometimes we love you sometimes we don't but 90% of the stuff that we're giving as far as gaming stuff is all brand-new never been opened some dough just just to get Texas tomorrow morning and give you time oh I'll be yours what I can be here great yes thanks are cool what 50% or more off of ticket for Brendan for like full sales stuff I guess it makes sense because this is where all like this is where basically all the computer parts for North America come in so I guess it's more likely like for there to be a pallet of random motherboards that like didn't sell or whatever I don't know I don't know if we're going to do very well with that though to be honest because like if you only has the motherboard like bundles that's where you know I know I not lean but I often find like like how many scrapyard works have we had to buy a power supply at the very end yeah almost every time yeah and he's got a 50% off power supply yeah but like even a big be quiet 800 watt at 50% off is still like $100 to spend like 40 bucks 30 bucks on Carson yeah that's 4400 3 point 1 gigahertz um it has 4 gigs of ddr3 um I think don't 50 ok we've seen you've seen significantly better pricing on that kind of era stuff so I might I might have to pass on that one but I'll call you back if our other leads fall through them so thank you ok thanks did you say absolutely ah well that's a lot nice here anything to say yeah ok so there's a full gaming PC $450 which is right up there with our budget but it's almost good to go it's got an FX 95 95 or 212 Evo an r9 390 which is a sapphire card 390 is still pretty solid 16 gigs of ddr3 725 watt power supply this thing is pretty much good to go right out the gate especially because it's got a fan Tex P 400 which is a fairly new case it's a very recent case that has RGB LEDs in it and 2 terabyte hard drive the only thing that's missing here is an SSD at least in the looks of it so that would give us 50 bucks for an SSD a if we're just putting the OS on it probably don't need more than 60 gig SSD which we should be able to find for that price I'm emailing him right now the only issue that he lives in Calabasas he or she lives in Calabasas which is probably an hour 15 I have one way out traffic we're not having too much look with Craigslist so far we've found some listings but we haven't heard back from anyone we've contacted yet so I have installed let go which is an app that's just below you take a picture of something and then offer to people to trade stuff there does seem to be a decent amount of stuff on here I found this listing for three computer towers just a case but the nine bucks each and if we could not get a you know the decent case that will fit everything looks okay for nine dollars then I'll feel like we accomplished something today hi this message is for a Jason I'm calling a boat oh can I start this over thank you goodbye oh crap 984 175 mothers yes you come over I don't mind how to get back up to my rig running it to your benchmark I'm off today any time let's go hey guys so I realized we don't have an address yet but what's OK ROCK gummies so we'll go back to the hotel while we wait for him to get back to us on the address I finally feel like we have a purpose or so yeah this is Lilia from Jay exponent mu messages on eBay so you guys had some Dion's listed correct yes were they 5670 sorry I've messaged quite a few people yeah for this X 5670 right now we haven't looked for one can can you do any better than that we're looking for the pair or I did want a pair of them because the board that we were able to find it like we're kind of scraping together bits and pieces here the best I can do right now is 100 a hundred for both yeah yeah like if we can't build a system for 325 like then we should probably just stop making scrapyard worse because we clearly suck shoot there's more than one of the exact same address like one of those in Fullerton one of them is in wit ta I think there's actually more and so on train boot that oh I'll check I'll check that's in the dock right yeah okay I'll check oh crap I think Bakersfield is in a different place all together oh my god this is two hours away I'll call fall can ask for mercy yeah but if you were them would you give us mercy I have before yeah but you're you're soft and weak like that so we wanted to know you know give them the late start today you know what would be the odds of doing like a longer a longer pickup tonight you know people say mistake mistake mistake and then we had the main issue of the code and actually he is probably in Pictou in about a half an hour okay okay okay you know I'm trying to talk him out of it he said no you know you just said I don't care yeah you were scrap your horse or anything yeah you know I just I really thought you guys were cool which well no he's not he's nothing no to us interesting that Kyla we're just wondering if we can go try somewhere in that bag so basically what you're saying is that Kyle's being pretty and considerate then I'm definitely passing the buck yet yeah when I stretch rules append them out of Schaefer go 18 hours overtime or anything like that okay all right I can respect that I can respect that I'm just I'm just going to be thinking about how much I respect that if you call me and you need a tool or whatever you know well well you know we're not vengeful though so all right all right thanks Oliver I've never known you to be okay thanks all thanks Paul thanks thanks thanks false thanks for nothing Paul you yeah so that Linus was asking if we could extend tonight during a time period when he knows you will not be here that's BS I already told them that I wouldn't be available after 5:30 extra co6 so unless you want to go alone but I don't know if Ed's I wouldn't say appropriate especially because they might get mugged oh yeah and I know that your jujitsu skills are probably lucky if you got mugged I don't like that would traumatize me yeah you know look I don't know if I can handle that you getting mugged if we have to pay $100 for the cpu's we get the 24 gigs of ram the dual socket board the 175 gtx 980 the $40.00 case if we can get the sse for 35 with no tax and we can get the hard drive for $10 then we are going to be they're going to be $25 over we over $25 over I was testing them out and one of them was defective Sunbird away okay so it's been up to so it's two drives for ten bucks yeah you can have pretend buttons like my uncle okay I'm calling up Michael here let's see if Michael is going to come down from 250 to 175 on that there video card if I can talk to him maybe I can reason with it I don't blame people who don't think Michael must show up on the caller ID is a terrible person oh hi is this Michael oh hi I saw your craigslist ads for an MSI GTX 980 yeah yeah I'm interested but I I hate to be I hate to be one of those people but I only have a hundred and seventy five bucks are you able to do that alright so I got work right now I can leave five I can come get it like tomorrow like quick sale at least it has that going for it I can put them in five starts I have any more favorite one I'm a little Ivy I only have 175 so unless you wanted to do both of them for 175 it's definitely just one flaw ridiculous what's the best you can do for one the best I suppose I can 24 them is what sorry it's 220 180 2002 2000 K I definitely miss heard you there yeah okay thank you so much I just I don't think that's in the cards for me right now I really appreciate it though actually Ashley excuse you what's that sorry choo-choo was it 200 yeah I'm on a you know what I should probably tell you like sort of what's going on here basically one of our buddies is moving away doesn't have a gaming rig and everybody scraped together 500 bucks that's all we've got and so we're trying to get kind of everything for that and basically we pledgeted it out and we've got 175 for the video card like that's kind of where I'm at and I can maybe stretch like another 10 bucks like could you do 185 you know what I can do 8 months you can do 185 okay that is incredibly incredibly cool of you I think we can hold on I think we can make this work if we can get an SSD for $35 and I get the CPUs from the other shops where there's no tax and we do and we do 16 gigs of ram instead of 24 then we're at four hundred ninety eight dollars and seventeen cents [Music] maybe I should have negotiated all the $2.15 so far we've got like what two bucks not even quite ah yeah Julie I'll push laughter adult so we've got about two dollars you know I'm gonna do I can get this guy if I can get this kind of 750 then we'll have four dollars and fifty cents oh my god if we drive five hours then we'll have $14.50 which is probably enough to do something RGB we could probably do something RGB for free like if we just wanted to like the idiots and like find red things and like leaves [Music] fantastic own work to travel ooh okay done deal pleasure doing business with you thank you very much guys this is have two drives in it it might hopefully maybe it's like a raid thank is that what's a dual interfaces therefore maybe there's actually two drives we'll have to see you know what's really funny is iFixit sponsored this and we actually have to disassemble hard drive day 1 we have a thing well two things with that our days sort of done I think we got this yeah well it's six o'clock exactly we're just out getting food yeah I have to let's food Bannon food be good yeah we're not we're not doing chef here doors anymore we're just sort of getting some food don't worry but ok so let's uh let's drive back to the restaurant that we are at right now [Music] okay okay so this is day two scrapyard Wars day one Paul and I didn't really get any parts no one's here from the other team right they can't hear us okay so we didn't get any parts yesterday so all the emails that I sent out casting a really wide net just being very polite and trying to see if anyone would reply I'm following up with all those people now like my house is on fire and we're all about to die because we only have one more day of this tomorrow is pretty much Judgment Day so pretty much we need to start parting things together hopefully by the end of tonight early tomorrow morning so we're just gonna have to see if people respond to a sense of urgency you can tell the town of my emails that this is a matter of terrified I feel like we've made some real connections on a deep emotional human level with the people that we're trying to negotiate with that's important for getting the best deals sorry but I'm trying to get rid of the whole computer not interested in partying out screw you Kyle has some strategic he's working on right now we'll see if that works out I'm not really sure are you serious right now yeah you're literally cleaning your car it's important in day two of scrapyard Wars we need to be able to see clearly out the windows to the computer hardware that's up that you should not have with Windex in your hand offices for a side panel window damn it alright first stop for today is Fullerton California lovely town that was in 1898 get to the point hahaha there's a guy there with cases he has I think he has four of them some of them have some parts built in them given that he got four and he looks like nine bucks for them and it sounds like you might even just basically take these it might be just kind of a good stepping off point get something in hand very minimal investments and we're really hoping there might be a power supply and one of them is usable too in other news I just got a reply from the dude that has CPU and motherboard that's Casey I can't even remember I probably 2600 K it's all aboard right now but it's a good CPU and motherboard and this is a guy who didn't want to meet us at lunch because on his one his lunch break from work because he said it was going to take too long to disassemble the system I told him that I'm a full time system builder and I could provide any assistance if possible and he said that won't speed things up I just need to unscrew everything including my specialty mounted liquid cooler from the board can you text me at this number so we got a number from him okay that's good faster communication yeah he said that would be faster I might be able to work something out I'm okay with you we're okay you know me I mean I've got so much stuff listed on Craigslist I have so much stuff listed on let go and I'll offer up that afterwards I'll block the price just this guy clear it out yeah are each of these ten bucks or what so the pricing on the working one how about 30 okay 534 this 1010 that one five do you know what's inside of that other really it's next week however where else else there's a modem in there got here look guys so it's also potentially a proprietary power supply so the power supply will not work for it yeah it's a proprietary so the magic wouldn't have this where we're trying to part out an entire system as quickly and as inexpensively as possible right this bait is the basic game so the hard drive I do appreciate you contacted me I drew preciate you following up of course I like people like that because it drops the price and get rid of all their yeah my wife can be happy I can be happy you can be happy this is an HDX chassis it can work it's got a window so technically being able to put some RGB lighting it and was shine through and nothing else is really usable the hard drives only 40 gig and it looks like we don't have the correct and there anything on that motherboard well the motherboards are super outdated I don't even know what but down why we're agents good know this could work how much you say for this one again like I know okay very strange what's your happen guys I get it all this on dad jacket back at the garage I feel you yeah this was never wind go yeah no worries advice when I haven't had a job go for you died yeah and yeah I tend to hold onto things Elliot are you sold on this one or this work it's got its got the place we need you know did a standard power supply now yeah yes difficult a standard ATX power supply mount and I work about this girl we like the window on this guy that's one of the chill I could tell his wife was just like if you bring any of these home you'd like i'm going to continue to be mad at you or whatever so i offered like we can just take another one like they were the cases were pretty bad shape they weren't going to be able to be sold to anyone besides people doing something like this honestly if you just help you out with the wife situation whatever i'll take one of them if you just want to get rid of it and and come home with a little bit less stuff i mean I'll probably end up recycling it honestly but I mean if that helped that one this one yep okay you can do that okay sir for this guy right here no change needed extra dollars a sign of gratitude thank you so much this is perfect but exactly we're looking for right now yes you just made our day exact we should just call it here good it's just taking his secret is fully built with them and she's gonna score like their and okay day to not a lot of good committee communication over there so I but at least we have the lady changes working hard drives so there's that yeah so I heard back from a lot of guys on that just about GTX 980 s 185 is definitely our best deal okay this guy said 200 this guy disgustin 175 that's a five hours round-trip drive which I don't I I think we shouldn't kill it yet I'll just I'll don't don't close the coin patiently yes yeah allium hanga hoot you did not very considering a little bit rude but okay so I'm not going to lie that some of the bad news for today the place with the bulk of the components motherboard ram tower SSD I haven't heard back from them to the afternoon yesterday and I've emailed them at the end of the day yesterday and first thing this morning and what I said was we found the CPUs chief or somewhere else so that freed up some budget and I wanted to take the tower 4:40 the motherboard 475 16 Gabe's not 24 gigs of ram 440 which is like per dims that's the price big games and the 128 gig SSD I didn't trying to negotiate I left it at 25 bucks and I was like okay that should be 200 plus tax I haven't heard from them and they said once you place an order it's a one-day me time yeah we have much bigger problems right now I see recycled pros in Palo Alto if they respond we could take a flight technically flying is not against the cruel it is a transport cost transport costs are not within the fixed budget Ontario Ontario Airport Hall you look up Ontario I'll look up lax LAX is only about an hour and a half drive from here how are we going to transport a server back on the plane you know what there's a nonstop flight from 7:45 tonight to 9:00 to the chopper here hi this might be kind of a stupid question but is it possible to charter a flight to San Fran from work from LA yeah stupid what the with Dayton timer you're looking at well that's where it gets kind of stupid it would probably be today so we we don't know yet long story short we're filming a thing and there's a part that it's that we'll know probably within the next hour or two there's a part that we need and it was the only way to get it might be to go pick it up in San Francisco so we would need a flight up there and then a flight back ok how many two three three three three there's a camera operator and just so you're aware a lot of folks associate us with helicopters totally correct but for a trip like this I tell you push you towards an airplane um it's actually going to be able to little bit more cost-effective board you guys I've never flown in a helicopter it would be super cool so maybe I could get a price for both yeah absolutely that's no problem I hate to do this too but can I have like kind of a ballpark like are we looking at 2,000 or 20,000 just so I know what I'm doing and it's roundtrip we would need to come back so we'd probably have to pay for an hour of sitting on the airfield I guess is how that works right yeah what which operator we go raises yeah so it would be about dick friends way okay got it thank you reasonable that seems like if we don't have another choice we're gonna have to go for it so all right well different to bring the contents much as possible and when you reconnect with us should have a job for you okay okay thanks man you're all okay okay bye well I think we need to explore other options so virgin has a nonstop from 6:30 to 8 o'clock from LAX to SFO so tonight is our late pickup night that flight is only 292 dollars so if we were to get a hotel there or you know what we could do here's a crazy thought what if we flew there and drove back I was actually kind of thinking if you said if we like check-in the car here say we need to pick it up again yeah and just get it from the same guys and then drive back so we fly out at like 5:00 tonight or something yeah and then just drive back and it would be quite late when we'd get back better for the server though - we're going to end up here all day again like we got to get out and get moving we need some other ok here's what I'm going to do I'm going to call the guy with the CPUs the guy who works at the like film studio maybe they have the rest of the work station and I have other good news the guys that I called and talked to who were willing to do the cash deal on the CPUs yeah but they're pricing wasn't any better those guys are local local Inglewood it so they haven't replied to my email saying all the stuff I needed though but they're local and they said we could go there now I feel terrible because I was like the guy that I've strung along for so long was the name Justin I'm like emailing and being like yeah what time can we come today the earlier the better now I look like a total hole we didn't realize that you're in a completely different City because we're idiots just don't think like we want you would like to present it to them like later tonight if we flew there at night we wouldn't even be able to go into the shop they'd be closed yeah there's earlier flight to go oh that was the earliest one I saw are you sure the earlier ones aren't like 17 hours with like multiple stops yeah they'll be closed for sure unless we were able to get on one 15 minutes ago because I think it's like like morning and then like evening studio guys not picking up I'm going to call je components here I can't believe I overlooked that I spent all this time like basically we built the entire strategy around getting that bare-bones from those guys it's like not good je components might be an okay alternative oh hi I called in to you guys yesterday about we're putting together actually it's like a gaming computer but we think we can use some server hardware for it okay um I did send you an email but our situation has changed a little bit we found a really cheap source for the CPUs but we still need RAM motherboard chassis and power supply and cooling as well as a cheap SSD are we are we able to come in like did you guys have just kind of random dual socket motherboards and some we're actually looking for a tower chassis not a rackmount chassis if possible sure thank you so much we're kind of desperate honestly I haven't found anything like as big and professional looking at these guys I will Oh 12:30 I know that's an hour and a half that's not bad got some ontario to access her - that's a good flight yeah we'd have to know from Justin like how much are you sighs 235 bucks yep okay and then we'd be back by 6:30 hey Justin it's it's ash calling from our emails yesterday if we were able to get there before 5:00 would we be able to get it today is it possible I think we could go ahead make that happen you know me your shipping address and I'll take care of it okay great thank you that's it okay bye sorry to intrude hold on we might have a slight problem should be hundred I didn't account for tax for the SSD in our budget the two dollars over I should have let you negotiate on the hard drive look you were right and I was wrong do you feel good about it no should we just show up and be $2 short I don't think they're going to let us hang a with that no these guys are like kind of legit Michael might we're pushing our meeting out with him another day like we're kind of screwing Michael so we're screwing Michael and Omid and we expect one of them to give us a $2.00 discount well let's get that let's get moving one way or another like we don't have a choice there's no other flight not really what time do we have to be at the airport 12 2012 20 at the airport yeah so we have 45 minutes can we get to Michael's first oh my god and Passport you know how I'm grabbing your eyes exit let's go where's Michael yeah I will forget I have mine I have mine let's just get the party where will these cases help pollen count our above the competition with Luke and Linus make their flight or they destined to be grounded I know next time on scrapyard [Music]

So they were considering spending $6000 on a chartered flight to build a $500 pc????

I love how in the beginning Kyle said "They're gonna look for stuff in LA and spend a ton of time in traffic. They don't know that Orange County is nearby". And then Linus is like "Let's charter a flight to SF"

[u/Ominimble]

SPOILERS POTENTIALLY: Episode 2 is intense.

[u/Guywiddahhair]

that reference from the last Scrapyard where linus forgot his laptop at the chinese place. Also does anybody know where that place where linus was calling at 17 mins?

I feel bad for the 980 guy...

[u/Dubbaehni]

Am I the only one who preferred voiceover ad breaks instead these acted scenes like " uuuu what can we do with ifixit lets find out" ??

[u/CataclysmZA]

I'm surprised that Kyle did not recognize a socket 478 motherboard on sight. Also, none of the other episodes have had the contestants selling off things they don't need in the build to meet the budget. The LTT team can just let one of the hard drives go for $10 to make up the difference.

It's heeeeere
