Scrapyard Wars Episode 1a

I really like this kind of video. If I had any suggestions, it would be to emulate the British television series Top Gear, and by that I mean have things like "cheap car challengers" except replace car with PC.

 

For instance, have Linus and Luke both build PCs with a small budget exactly like this, except have the tests/challenges be hidden from them. For instance, they won't know if they're supposed to play WoW at 4k, Tomb Raider reboot, quickest time to unzip a 10GB compressed file, etc. It would be really funny and interesting in my opinion.

Yeah, this video really screamed 'Top Gear' to me, it would be more interesting though if the challenges were a little... Weirder... I have no idea what it would be, but it shouldn't be something very simple like WoW at 4k.

Thank god you went straight for the LGA 775 platforms you two. That's what I always recommend if you're going used for $300. :3

This was awesome! It reminds me of the adventure I had trying to build my PC last summer. 100% interested.

I like this video format. It's interesting to watch you guys compete and see what you can come up with. Reminds me of the challenges Top Gear does. 
 

Looking forward to seeing more videos like this (in addition to the regular format videos) in the future! 


I do have one question though: What is Luke wearing on his arm?

I had the same question, looked through the Youtube comments and someone posted this:

Myo Gesture Control Armband

https://www.thalmic.com/en/myo/

Maybe it's hinting at an upcoming video? Or Luke just likes it. Or it isn't that at all and just looks similar.

This was super entertaining and fun to watch. Really excited for the next episodes. Hey, maybe you guys could start making series like this a regular thing? *hint hint*

If you guys will allow it I have some constructive criticism for this series.

 

First, please tell us when the next one is coming out in the video. Tell us it is a weekly series.. I did not see that anywhere in the video.

 

 

It was in the first 10 seconds of the video, mate.  Parts b and c coming the next few Saturdays. Not sure how you missed that.

Definitely one of the, if not THE BEST video you've ever made. I hope the quality of this series is going to stay equally awesome throughout the entire series. 

Really nice guys, keep it up!
