Scrap yard wars yay!

there is now scrap yard wars pt 7 this is gonna be awesome. Maybe next time you could try to make the smallest pc case and make a custom case! and one of the rankings is best airflow and thermals!

That sounds like it'd be a fun challenge.

 

A few others I might like to see include:

• challenge of configuring a system that doesn't support ANY type of plug and play or auto-detect / auto-configuration (so no PCI / PCIe, no IDE / SATA, no USB, etc.) - maybe with 8 Bit Guy, Lazy Game Reviews, Tech Deals, RandomGamingInHD and other YouTubers
• best possible performance in a tiny passively-cooled system with no airflow (for example no larger than a mini ITX board, no taller externally than 0.5U, and no vent holes; also if the case itself is used as a heatsink, can't be so hot under load that Linus's kids can't safely hold it bare-handed while it's running Prime95 Small FFT and Furmark.)
• One contestant builds a system where the CPU is > 51% of the cost of the entire system, the other spends > 51% of the budget on the GPU.
• Most fun gaming experience with a GPU handicap (either can't have been > US$68 MSRP even when inflated by mining or 3rd-party launch-day sellers, or, must be single-slot passively-cooled with only the GPU die itself being heatsinked, or, can't use interface newer than 1st-gen legacy PCI)
• this would be kind of an odd one, but ... something that's excellent for things like Blender, Resolve, GIMP, Audacity, Office, Chrome/Firefox, etc, but is not capable of gaming *at all* (unless using a VM, and no cheating with unraid or equivalent )

I thought I had more in mind some time ago, but they seem to have hidden in some back corner of my brain.

This one seemed to be much less hyped up than the last one. I was surprised to see it in the feed. Last season had excellent production quality and I think hyping it up more is a good idea
