[Music]
so i've been to auctions run by these
guys before and it was at their facility
and everything was kind of like put into
bins and carts
but on location the rules are a little
different
like even at the check-in desk the
computer's here
they're up for auction you just you go
ever like
is this toilet plunger up for auction no
no it's not okay so not everything but a
lot of things
so in here is where they used to
assemble all the ncix pc
computers i was actually in here
must have been i don't know a month or
two ago and i was chatting with
the uh the owner former owner i don't
know how that works but
i was in here and it was like crazy like
basically
screwdrivers down it looked like
everyone went home for the day
and then just never came back so they've
they've
kind of staged things a little bit to
make it look a little more
you know auctiony it looks like
any machines that were in the process of
being built
and or like this one's got a lot of dust
in it look at this
and or i don't know maybe we're in for
repair
or we're being used as demo systems have
just kind of been set up all along the
counters here
for people to to bid on them some pretty
good stuff in here
so the way that these auctions work is
everything is kind of
grouped into lots so you can't just bid
on this sapphire hd 2600 xt as though
you would want to
you got to buy this uh one terabyte
two and a half inch hard drive uh this
test blank
no way oh man there is so much
like epic loot here look at this
alienware compute2000 stress balls
this is doing nothing for my stress
right now
you could do like a a techie
archaeological dig in this place
and that was already true when i left
five years ago
please keep this door closed what are
you gonna do about it
oh lock it all right okay this is fun
uh we found a home for the stress ball i
found on the floor
my stress stress is all gone now uh and
we've got some other good stuff here too
so this this was my bad like
eight years ago i cut a po for this
this is the mountain mods uh it's uv
green acrylic stylish that that stayed
fashionable
uv green acrylic and it's an external
radiator mount
with like these handles on the top so
you would basically like separate them
and then you would screw in your
radiator on both sides and you could
just mount the radiator and just plunk
it down on your desk
needless to say that concept didn't
really take off and making matters worse
if you were to buy one of these today
i hope you have a thermo-chill pa series
radiator
because otherwise it won't fit and those
have been discontinued
for over half a decade so sorry ncix
i done goofed on that one another thing
i bought that never sold
um these the mod smart these were the
primo chill guys
sometimes they moved okay some colors
though not as successful as others
more danger den stuff oh no
an am2 hold down for the swiftech storm
oh oh okay here's another good one i
guarantee you i bought this too
uh apogee gt yep so i actually cut my
teeth as a product manager
on the water cooling category because no
one else wanted to do it
look at that yellow label there baby
this is the db1 from
d-tec do you guys remember d-tech
i didn't think so danny from d-tech
good guy good guy man they made the best
barbs in the game
back when barbed fittings were cool
this is a fun bin if you want some truly
legacy stuff like this
looks really good but this is a gtx 760
and this doesn't even look good but it's
like funnier than it than it looks it
looks like a crappy graphics card uh-uh
this is a pci card
this is a fizz x card fizz x by ajiya
these x this is the future
okay i need to find out how much the
minimum bid is because like
i just want to do a retro unboxing of
office xp professionals still
sealed adobe illustrator cs2 like
clearly not worth anything but
it's an upgrade you have to have cs1
terrible now that is a dead operating
system if i've ever seen one
hey i've got an ipad too
here's a pink case for it um as long as
i'm willing to buy
uh 30 of them and also
holy crap there's like a couple
hundred cases for the galaxy note
not the note three or no five or no
eight the original galaxy note
oops that wasn't me what is this stuff
okay so the way these things work like
everything is
as is where it is so a box like this
might be a treasure check this out this
is
z270 something no x99
not z270 so like
whatever's in here is in here
also not z270 that's another x99 board
it's got like laptops
for days in here and boxes for like
phones and stuff too like
is this a blackberry phone no see empty
box
um but this feels like there could be a
p9 plus
inside and there isn't
so so you get you gotta go through this
stuff pretty carefully
one thing i know for sure though is that
craigslist
is going to be flush with uh
hardware deals hardware deals for days
on craigslist
with markup after this auction
i mean it is kind of depressing to think
about
it being reduced to this like to the
point where
your promotional pens are in a bin for
auction
one day this could be us
[Music]
now this kind of stuff is sad like i
remember irene i worked with irene
she doesn't have a job anymore um
yeah she was really nice
i guess i didn't really have anywhere to
go with that
yeah no i actually have nowhere to go
with that that's kind of a bummer
i wonder what irene's stuff is in here
a sears bag and some gloves
holy is this all of the customer records
this isn't for sale right
throw away okay yeah good i
shred hopefully okay so
here's all the good stuff here's a bunch
of like current motherboards uh
x370 pros like here's a rampage
5 edition 10. it's like a 600 700
board uh here's all the graphics cards
that are worth anything as well so your
1060s 1070s
i mean this should give you some idea
how bad the gpu shortage was that a
retailer went out of business
and had literally 20 graphics cards in
stock
oh wow they've still got one of the
water cooled
fx processors ooh and a core i7 extreme
from like
four or five years ago ouch you can buy
all the lunchroom chairs lunchroom
microwaves mini fridge
this is the aquarium as i called it or
the boardroom
i just felt like i felt like a fish
sitting in here this
was the ceo's office so
apparently he set it up with a projector
at some point it wasn't like this the
last time
i was hanging around here but uh i've
had a couple of actually i've had a
couple of very tense meetings in this
room
so someone had told me that the gold
play button was in the ceo's office but
i didn't see it there
do you know if the gold youtube play
button is here okay so i'm messaging my
old boss because i really want that gold
play button
um but in the meantime we did get some
clarification on this one
there is an auction lot for it but here
get get wide because there's a lot of
stuff i got to show here
to buy it i have to buy all of these
awards
all of this crap this dinosaur
this uh basketball signed by dirk meyer
um this tv this stand
and these two plants over here
really for a silver button
i might be better off just telling you
guys go subscribe to linus cat tips
try and get another 20 000 subs over
there get a cat tips play button
oh it's been a long
time since i've been here so it wasn't
the wisest move ever but
yep it was my call to do half of the
room
green screen green and half of it so
this is actually the original chroma key
blue and then
they repainted this one for when the
other
team moved over here after they got
booted out of their previous studio
um we uh the idea was we'd be able to
green or blue screen in this room but
what happened in practice
was um we just ended up with a lot of
green cast on everything that we shot on
the blue wall
this will be the last time i ever walked
through here
i haven't been here in like well over
two years three years
huh well i guess this is as good a place
as any to
end our tour um
i guess we'll be back tomorrow with
bidding
