video suggestion What about Linus making a video about PC builds made of left-over parts?

I think it would be interesting and could make a long series if he covered two or three computers per video.

Well, sounds a bit like scrapyard wars but less intense.

Anyhow, yeah I agree that it would be interesting!

 

Welcome to the forums!

I think that the variablilty of used parts would make it difficult to have any consistency in the builds. Personally I'd just watch scrapyard wars...

LTT's ideas of "leftover parts" would be to just use one of the dozen or so extra Titan Xp's he has laying around.

 

just watch scrapyard wars

Define "leftover" parts. They have warehouse full of parts. They literally have bin full of just Intel stock coolers. They could probably build 10+ sick gaming rigs just with "leftover" parts and still get few franken-PCs mixed in.

exactly - what's the definition of "leftover parts" here ? 

 

if i'm talking about my PC made from "leftover parts" i mean GTS 250, Pentium 4 660, DDR2 RAM and a 160 gb WD black from the SATA 2 era.

 

going through my shelf i could possibly come up with one more build based off another pentium 4 660 and a passive cooled GTX 8500 or some radeon HD4000, moar DDR2 ram and so on.

 

now when the LTT people go "shelf shopping" for old dust collectors the outcome would probably be very different. i expect a system that blows my main rig right out of the water.

5930K, check!

X99 with RGB, check!

128GB of 2400MHz DDR3, check!

4 x 1TB 950 PRO's in RAID 5, check!

Two Logitech keyboards, check!

Two Logitech MX Masters, check!

Windows XP 32-bit, check!

4 x 1080 Ti's, check!

16 x 1920x1080 144Hz monitors, check!

 

Looks like a pretty decent leftover build in my opinion...
