There is a Youtuber here in the UK that does PC builds for £10 from car boots/yard sales. GPUs off ebay for £3.50 including P&P. It's hilarious! XD

BudgetBuildsOfficial is actually one of my favourite channels aside from Linus and Jay, mostly because its like having scrapyard wars all year round and you can actually pick up on how to get a decent rig for cheap using that channel. Discord community for that channel is pretty chill too, everyone seems to share love for tech and (most) of us love scrapyard wars so it's an ideal channel for us. Linus doing a europe based scrapyard wars would be fun though :).

There are 10 types of people in this world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.

It would be fun to see Linus and Luke doing scrapyard wars in an another country. They can team up with British tech youtubers. 

There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

Naaah, Britain or Ireland? That's not funny. 

What about Quebec or Montreal, and learn some French? :D

No, Netherlands. Just close enough to English to be totally infuriating

It is too expensive for them to do it in Europe! Linus does nothing for free, or lose money on.

it's not really a series that would change too much based on location. unless they did it somewhere that didn't speak English so they had to rely on google translate

They are not so eager to do "normal" SW in NA much less on another continent. There were talks that the formula has ran its course and maybe the breaks between editions should be longer.

 

They have another thing going though which looks very promising (FP people know) ?

I think how distracted they are while driving on Scrapyard Wars, if they came to the UK, driving on the other side of the road with roundabouts, it could add a new level of jeopardy.

I would love to see one here in the Netherlands. Peoples logic here is insane. They list a 980ti for the price of a brand new 1070, because it performs the same
