Scrapyard Wars - Challenge Suggestion thread.

[C_Mike]

I'm really enjoying scrapyard wars, and love that they've had two different challenges so far.

 

I expect the LTT team probably have a few Ideas already in the pipeline, but with the whole community making suggestions I think we could get some really good ideas for future episodes.

 

I understand there are already a couple of idea threads, but I think it would be beneficial to have a central thread where everyone can suggest ideas, and we can keep an up to date List of suggestions.

 

So if you have a suggestion, or have already started a thread with a suggestion just reply with the Idea, or link to your thread and I'll add it it to the List. I have already added a few that I've found.

 

p.s.

 

If a suggestion is too similar to one already in the list it probably will not be added.

I think a challenge should include the opposing team deciding a component in the build or a segment to sabotage each other somehow.

I think Luke has like, a full list already

Some of the challenges in this thread are ruthless haha thanks for the suggestions!
 

Trust me, future challenges will not disappoint

[XYrZbest]

NICK OUTTA NO WHERE!

[Chronos5618]

Best PC that can be built with previous decade hardware i.e. Pre-2005, with the allowance of one modern component.

[nicklmg]

I'm going to try and set up a like "Follow LMG" button or something... far too few people know our other shows are on there!

[monaka25]

 I understand you can make a 1440P gaming pc brand new for 1k, but how about a 4k gaming pc for AAA games. Not like LInus's non demanding 4k gaming rig. The challenge is to make the MOST POWERFULLLL rig possible for 1k USD, Whatever it converts too in Canadian dollars.

Wait that's a thing??? Binge watching now.

   Good for you! Now you have hours of video to enjoy!

I tried looking for CSF on vessel but I couldn't find it, link or button would be great.

Check my sig for links

[STRMfrmXMN]

They should do a challenge where they have to color match everything in the build. That would not go so well which is why it must be done

[XYrZbest]

just found them on your sig thanks

[Calavera]

You guys should make a PC into retro furniture.

Like what I am doing, I'm fitting a raspberry pi (possibly) and a chromecast into an old portable tube TV from the 80's

There's another thread on here somewhere in which someone grabbed one of these wood-TV's from god knows how long ago and put a gaming PC in there.

Astatically it should look good and perhaps do something awesome with the hardware, something like cooling it with retro fans or whatever

[dionis.bajrami]

Best looking pc for (insertpricehere)

[BOT Edward]

Each team starts off with a single component from which the opposing team picks. 

[Trik'Stari]

Build the entire computer by hand. No tools what-so-ever, no coins to turn screws or anything like that, "hands only" in every sense of the term.

 

AND, to make it hard. No buying a pre-built PC. All components, (CPU, GPU, Case, PSU, Drives, etc) must be purchased individually.

[elecxonica]

Build a hackintosh that works with networking and audio for $3-400 (not sure what's a good price). I feel that could be interesting.

[Kazooey]

Small form factor scrapyard builds?

[Colt_0pz]

drown the entire thing in water. by everything i only mean: cpu, GPU, and RAM.
