New Scrapyard Wars

[Neko Fun]

So I've been wondering... which I tend to do a lot, "Will there be another scrapyard wars episode series?". I've really enjoyed all of the scrapyard wars episodes to date and I've been sort of curious as to why there aren't even any hints of a new episode series to come based on another topic. 

 

If anyone minds here are some ideas which might interest the audience:

1. An extreme but budget enthusiast PC build on extremely high end hardware for workstations such as quadros or teslas on the cheap. 

2. A steampunk based scrapyard wars build which might also investigate cooling solutions incoorporating the steam punk vibe or possibly a fully steampunk based cooling system.

3. Build a supercomputer... I know it's highly related to the first topic but I would really like the tech team really going far into the world of enthusiast computing enough to make a supercomputer for the cheap and do benchmarks based on compute performance to see who can win for the best bang for the buck computer.

4. A scrapyard wars episode against NCIX tech tips and Linus tech tips. This has NOTHING to do with hardware ideas whatsoever but I would love to see both teams battling it out for possible esoteric ideas such as "Best budget multitask rig" or "Oldest computer you can possibly build" challenges and maybe loser gets to do bellyflops on the local pool?

5. Last but not least but covered in topic "4". Oldest PC you can build. Now almost ALL of the scrapyard wars episodes focus heavily on performance. But then what about age? I would personally love to see Luke and Linus battling out based on their pure experiences on PC gaming from their childhood and make a computer as old as possible which can also game. It doesnt matter if it's 2D or 3D games. 

 

This is concerning the extreme enthusiast based topics, as this is a scrapyard wars episode i think it is possible to buy old quadros or teslas for the cheap. That is why I suggested such ideas in the first place. 

 

I would love to hear the forum members thoughts on this.

 

Sorry For the long post?

Heres.... Nothing...

Will there? Yep. When? We don't know.

Oldest PC you can build sounds pretty awesome tbh, I'd love to see that!

Think a future scrapyard wars should open the category up to "sick, extreme gaming setup".  Going beyond "the box" and also cover monitors and peripherals.

Sometimes if it drags on to outside the box then that would mean they would also have to cover expenses for the peripherals and that would cause problems on budgets and the internet hardware and whatnot. It is a concept which i suggested also.

The words 'Tesla' and 'cheap' do not go in the same sentence together.

How about the older ones? Tech does get cheap when they get older and older.

YES

I think for now it won't be soon.

Linus just became a dad for the 3rd time so it's probably a big adjustment again for Yvonne and Linus to get used to the new family situation.

And the disaster called "vessel", it's a part of their income that's gone and i'm sure they have a lot of work to do to get the floatplane thing properly going.

I have an idea where they start with full system of parts, and have to trade or sell their parts in the first half. Then the second half they use the money they made selling old parts to buy new ones.
