Following the success of the official LTT scrapyard wars of Linus VS Luke, I'd like to start an LTT forum's scrapyard wars.

The rules are pretty much the same as the origonal, except:

 

$300 USD, not $300 CAD

Ebay and any other online source, rather than IRL

You obviously dont have to buy anything, this is litterally going to be a mass collection of $300 builds.

 

Round 1: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/322711-scrapyard-wars-round-1-march-5-2015/

 

Handy conversion rates as of today:

$1 USD = £0.66
$1 USD = $1.25 CAD
$1 USD = €0.91
$1 USD = $15.19 MXN
$1 USD = ¥120.10

$1 USD = ฿0.0036
