- For a while now people have wanted me to test my Used PC Parts skills by starting off on a low budget, and then trading my way through deals and opportunities to eventually (and hopefully) end up with a High-End Gaming PC. This is the pilot episode. Enjoy.

Starts out with a Bic pen, ends up driving a Ferrari!
Matt Christie itâs not a Ferrari man...
@@FieryWings01 It's just the first episode.
waffeltek we are talking about The Yes Mobile right? No itâs not a Lamborghini either.
@@FieryWings01 No, this new video series is about starting out at the bottom, and hustling to the top. Hence my first comment, an analogy of the concept.
Ends with a RX-7 with rotory.
People don't understand how difficult it can be as we creators try to make innovative videos.
You succeed and kudos friend.
Yeah it's definitely hard, what's even more harder is the time it takes to make the content :(.
@GlassyRS he might be testing
@@techyescity understood yes. It is strange though because as you know sometimes the video you spend 30 hours creating does okay, whereas that quick one does GREAT and you are like "huh... okay"
Just do more of what works and discard the rest, I guess.
@@techyescity Bryan, how many hours work do you put into your channel per week?
Now this is exactly what I've done in my life. Bought a newer game for my brother for $60. Turned out it sucked for him and only played it once(I guess it was Destiny or Halo 4 or something). So, I sold it on Craigslist for $40. And cause I didn't have a job or an Xbox One console. I thought, "Maybe I should get build a PC for fun. I don't know." And somehow, I got the cheapest Dell Optiplex SFF with a i3 1st Gen and 4gb of ram. Later, I found a great 720p monitor an office was selling(yet have away for free to me), a broken SSD(I fixed!), and a keyboard/mouse combo(my mother found in the trash). I turned it into a $120 profit and used the Windows 7 on the PC into a 10. Sold it as an office PC and got a server PC with a x3323(Core 2 Quad equivalent) and 6gb of DDR2 for free from the trash where my mother found the keyboard/mouse combo. Turned that into a profit. Etc.
This kept happening until where I am right now years later with a E3-1230, 8gb of Corsair DDR3, a GTX 1050 2GB, an old SSD(works perfectly fine), a 500GB HDD, a CX650M with White Modular Cables, a Micro ATX Cooler Master case with three fans, a CoolerMaster CPU cooler, an ASUS 900p Monitor (that can somehow do 75hz), another keyboard/mouse combo, a Xbox plug-in controller, a Moto G7 Play, and a Moto G7 Optimo Maxx all for around a $265 US Dollar profit.
I somehow got all this stuff cause I just wanted a simple retro gaming PC at first and wished I could get a better one. Yet, I became very blessed and worked hard until I got almost everything I wanted. And it all stated with a game we didn't like XD
So, I just wanna let everyone know. You can get to a good point and get exactly very close to what you want in life. It may not be what you imagine or wished for But, I'm pretty happy with how far I've gotten and earned a lot of fancy electronics. I just had to be smart and work hard for it. Trust me. You put yourself toward it. You might not get what you want. But, you will get close to what you need. Happy building :)
How did you fix a broken SSD?
@@twizz420 It's Sata Port was chipped. So, I took it off and resoldered another port for the connectors.
But that's luck, no one in my area throws pc stuff in the trash or anything
@@lordjunn Hey. I understanding. I used to live in another town of 100 as the population. So, "trash piles or landfills" was even a thing. Now, I've been living in the majority of my life in a slightly larger area. Plus, the landfill days which are, of course, the days the landfill are open to the public for free. The only place to throw away the electronics is far out of town to get to. So, we hit up a short drive to a major landfills and everybudy takes "Pentium 4" PC's of all things and CCR TVs and CCR Monitors. So, each time I always find absolutely nothing. It was only this three month time period in two visits is when I found those higher quality items from the landfill for electronics. The workers said some rich, rich older lady dropped them off and that was two non-consecutive occasions. The only other good find I found in all my years good to the dump is last year a school teacher dropped off three older, broken Acer C720P chromebooks. I took parts from each and even though they were in the still in the process of dieing and the each touchscreen was shattered. I managed to get one chromebook revived and got one other screen to cut on. Along with another battery from the other. It worked for 6 months while having random shutdowns and then it finally decided to die this February.
Other than that, I can never find anything valuable at the dump anymore including a simple mouse, keyboard, or computer beyond the Pentium 4 which are all the same Dell OEM systems that use ribbon cables and proprietary parts. I managed to open up a two of them and take some screws I needed. Other than that, you just gotta wait for rich people to drop stuff off XD
But yeah, it is very luck based. However, if you want to learn of computers and probably earn on part or unit for free is volunteering at a school or office and just straight up asking that "I'll fix up some of those computers(like LGA 1155) and if I find a bad one would you mind if I keep it for parts." Most of the time, people reply "Yes sir, you can go right ahead. You need any help?" I'll reply, "No sir( Or No ma'am). I might need to know every know and then where your bathroom or cafeteria is sir( or ma'am). But other than that, I'm here to help." They then let me help them and in return I'll find only a couple of broken units that with bad motherboards only and take them for parts. The people get better systems for bettering education for students or bettering workflow in an office. And I get parts like a E3-1230 and a 500GB HDD that also had a broken sata port. I would leave them the good ram modules, good HDDs, cases, proprietary fans, proprietary PSUs, etc.
You can always do good and fix stuff too. My roommate/cousin/friend managed to not pay for the rest of community college (other than our first semester) by fixing at least 200 units of the college's computers. The college was about to spend up to the $100,000 US dollars or way, WAY more in order to keep up with updating systems. We managed to convince them that we could fix them and it's literally parts like a bunch of HD7450s, more DDR3 ram, and better CPUs, and a Ton of SSDs and Macrium Reflect for 1st and 2nd Gen Intel units(being half 1st i3 gen and other half G2020 Pentium gen). It took three months to fix them, and we repaired here and there whenever someone else would break them. They didn't have any computer classes there or an IT guy, so they used us and we didn't have to pay for food or any semester saving thousands in my eyes. We also took some units that where way, WAY older like LGA 775 they couldn't keep like 54 units and sold them with extra SSDs off the same pallet the school ordered, updated the Windows 7 up to Windows 10, and put a bunch of GTX 750 Ti's in at least 26 units where we used that money for gas or buying a pizza here and there. We also worked as the janitor, AC repair man, chef, drama prop builder, sound board guy, and any other oddball jobs nobody wanted to just pay for gas. I worked and earned my way through community college even though a "singing" degree is pretty much useless when I still sound terrible XD. But hey, I at least even got the degree saying "I am smarter than the average person." And, I feel as though I earned it by working really, really hard at it.
So, trust me. If you ever want to get something, you gotta work hard for it and find opportunities wherever you go even if it's a trash pill, a landfill, a volunteering service, helping a friend, helping a seller, or helping s school not spend thousands of dollars by doing a service. Trust me when I at least say. "Yes, you can." :)
@@shreyas9580 KurejittoX Thank you so much. I hope it inspired others too. And also it never ends too, the Moto G7 Play had a bad stock rom and turns out the smartphone had an unlocked bootloader. So, I've been learning about ADB, Fastboot, Rooting, etc. Whenever the phone used to cut on, it said "N/A" meaning something was off with the rom. Later on, I flashed the original rom designed for the phone and it now says "bad key" which is that the stock rom is not the *same*(even though it exactly is). Many can get rid of the "bad key". However, I'm one of the select few who can't. All "bad key" means is that the bootloader is still "unlocked" and mine will continue to stay "unlocked" cause whoever previously used it (most likely a MetroPCs employee cause it was in an unopened box and had a note on it saying for the device to 'Go on clearance') had a corrupt *recovery mode* and disabled it. The logo "bad key" will always show up and the only thing I am trying to use to at least hide it is MotoLogoChanger or something on the XDA Forums. Of course, the phone will brick unless it has the original stock rom thanks to LMSA(Lenovo Moto Service Assistant).
So,.....everyday is an adventure. Just gotta keep looking at the bright side. Like, I at least got it working again.
Now this is one of the coolest projects that I have ever seen! Good luck.
I did this when I discovered your channel 2 years ago. Now I'm running a small business out of my home đ. Started with $150
sounds cool
You go, man. Good luck in the future.
I make like $2000 a month. It's not full time tho. I also don't offer other services like repair, consultant or networking set ups
@@hd1845 but U can : Gaming RIG component list :P
@@ulysseslee9541 yeah haha. I do food catering also though đ€
This already sounds like an amazing series! Keep it up Bryan!!
I wonder why that glass was in the case and it was so messed up. Maybe someone threw it through a window :D
Might have had a glass side panel.
Nah that looks like crystal meth
must have rage quit on fortnite!
@@JimVito no way a pc that old had glass panel
Dad is mad, his kid suck at cod
Heck yeah man. Can't wait to see the rest of the series. I did this myself to get my current system and the ride is amazing. Thank you for the great content
i do this too! I am not allowed to get myself or my son a new pc or parts. Have to sell our old stuff at a profit! Got his first PC for ÂŁ45 core2quad and got a ÂŁ55 7870. Played minecraft on it for a year. He needed something better for Fortnite. So we sold it for ÂŁ200 and then got him a Xeon :)
@@dadgamer6717 man that's awesome. I'm building a PC for my daughter and I've been on the used parts hunt like mad the last couple months. Her build is gonna be beautiful and I'm so excited. Great to hear about you and your son too. Keep the passion going!
@@dbuckfan8301 im 14 and saving every penny for a pc (apart from my Nintendo switch funds) and I'm gonna get an old office PC (i7 4770 8gb ram)and put in an 8gb rx 570. And me and my dad are gonna put it together and maybe case swap it.
@@Wambowayne sounds awesome man. That's a great way to go.
i waited for brian to do this since i started watching him, this is the best series so far in the channel!
This is such a great idea!
Hi Nick!
Shout outs to Dad Man!
Thats the Juice i was craving for a long time! Im actually really Hyped for the coming Episodes with all the Progress. Dont need to Hurry Though, The Goal of this Challenge is pretty nice but for me its all about the Journey!
Brian, because of you I do this same thing. Every day is a hustle. Thanks for the great content. Can't wait for the next one!
The true enthusiasts flip their way up to monster builds!!! Awesome. Amazing deals.. look forward to the next one.
This is my favourite kind of content and giving the end product away is a really cool gesture. Kudos Brian
He's like some of the players on Escape from Tarkov; starting at level one, a hatchet, and a dream!
Playing the flea market like a fiddle.
You are amazing! I get inspired after every single video you put out . Keep up the good work man. I hope you are proud of what your doing.
This is awesome. Canât wait to see you rocking an amazing gaming PC!!
Love that ! Good vibe good project good music background, i will follow this project for sure and yes confident process and the final will be so awesome ! Thanks
Awesome stuff Brian. I know I have said this before but a lot of people (the vast majority) can't afford to drop hundreds if not thousands of $$ on shiny new PCs to game/work on so vids like this really help people out. You see it all the time in comments sections on product reviews etc: "drooling over a $400 GPU when my PC isn't worth $50" etc. Worse is that tech culture has ingrained into people that used = bad and that if you don't have the latest and greatest then you are somehow failing at life. I remember being stung as a youngster in the industry when I sold my Geforce 4 MX 400 and bought an FX 5200 because it was at least the "latest generation" only to discover the 5200 was so much slower in 90% of the games I played.
Kudos for showing people that you are better off with something like an RX 470 used for cheap than you are with something like a GTX 1650 that cost twice as much (or more) but is new. These are lessons many of us had to learn through bitter experience so the more we can help people avoid wasting their time and money the better. I still remember my bitter disappointment when I installed my shiny new FX 5200 and fired up a game in (for the time) cutting edge DX9 mode only to discover the frame rates were completely unplayable and had to revert to DX 8.1. Worse still, my old GPU was faster in DX 8.1.
This is gonna be fun to watch how it plays thank you man can wait!!
Awesome idea for a series Brian! Canât wait to see how this plays out. Stay tuned to the YES man!
Love your videos Brian keep them coming
Real great idea for video series, looking forward to seeing it all. Cheers mate.
Please we need more episodes! This is just amazing.
This with me too! I come from a low income family however with some savings. My parents allowed me $300 to play around with. I've turned it into a $2000 gaming system, a new phone, around $700 in clothing, and paid for some new IKEA furniture, and I have three gaming PCs on my desk right now ready to sell, actually benchmarking one now as I type this.
LienusLateTips teach me the ways
Looking forward to this series. Best of luck!
This is the reason I subscribed to this channel in the beginning. Good vid , and good luck !
I ended up selling a Pc which had an i5 2400, a gtx 950 and 8gb ram for 175 AUD.
I got the ram and processor from a pc someone had thrown out, and the gpu and motherboard were a relative bargain for 75 dollars total.
Aw yess gotta love scavenging stuff like that
Yea he probably should have spent the profit from the other pcâs on a gtx 1050 for around 60 dollars. Couldâve sold it as a gaming pc and asked like 200 for it
@@joop732 Unfortunately Gtx 1050's are like 150 dollars even locally where I live : (
@@Quicksilver-7791 gtx 1050 is useless
@@Quicksilver-7791 i wouldnt buy it for 100
Great idea for a series. Really looking forward to seeing this one from start to finish!
Great episode! Look forward to seeing how the hustle goes!
awesome videos you have and every time i get confuse about upgrading my pc all your videos are helping me thanks a lot bro...
Man this is a great idea for a series, your personality just catapult it's to 11! Best wishes from texas
Loving this series so far.
You have a gem on your hands with this one. Lots of low budget players out there that this series will help realize their dreams.
Not everyone can afford the latest and greatest In pc builds.
Great content Bruce! Been following a while I love this new challenge you are giving yourself. I especially like learning the difficulty non US countries have with PC parts being tied to the USD. Cheers!
you consistently drop great content ..just thought id let you know its not going unnoticed . Thanks for keeping pc building on a budget interesting ..im still rocking a E5450 from when I first seen your video on 711 mod 4 years ago .. lol
Thanks man, really means a lot to me.
What a idea! Its effin brilliant if you think about it. Good Luck!
great idea....keep it up, cant wait to see how it turns out
Really love this series already, Bryan
Thats the best thing ive heard for tech channels which seem to repeat each other.total different angle...
5 pcs for $60! If you look on Ebay, only the core i7 2600 costs that price . The value is pretty damn ridiculous ! You nailed it!
Super pumped for the series!
Yes , the series i needed â„ïž
Great idea cant wait for the next episode!
I really enjoy your videos. I am getting into building and selling computers and you taught me a lot. Thank you.
Feels like this series defines what TYC is, can't wait for episode 2 and beyond!
Really interested in seeing how this series develops! Best of luck mate!
Amazing idea. Good luck!
This looks like a very interesting series and I wish good luck on this journey. (Well not too much or it will be a very short series)

Loved it.
It's like a TYC reality show challenge.
I love this series already!
Love it! This is a cool idea!
NICE!!! Great job there. It reminds me when i was restoring and selling PC back in the day.
So looking forward to your next episode in this series. My chief enjoyment is the refurbs and seeing what the next batch of PCs are like.
Very fun idea for a series, I am peacing in to it.
This is the kind of channel I was looking for
This is such an awesome idea!!!
Really enjoyed this
Best tech youtuber by far, greetings from Puerto Rico.

Tech Yes Loving Lite!
Nice video. Good job. Maybe even doing tear downs of all 5 systems to make the best combo's of parts for greater returns.
Cool loving it Bryan. đ
Good luck Bryan!
Really nice idea, i'm exited to see how it gets in the future
Which cleaning supplies do you use (including the vacuum/air blower). I want to buy some PC cleaning gear. Fantastic series btw! Really looking forward to part 2!
Can't wait for future episodes
Id love to see the next episode!
Looking forward to the next episode đ
Love this video â€ïž
Brilliant, go Bryan!!!
my god this is entertaining. keep em comin
Really enjoyed the music choices for this one!
@Tech YES City great series, definitrly mystery box pc's are a great way to go for new content and especially to watch and see how you adapt, btw less cybertron more dadman...maybe for that motherboard bundle get dad to make you a wooden case, even a 3d print case would help get more money
You make flipping PC's more fun than it already is. And the decent profit from it too.
I really like this kind of video because its what i want to do when i have the money thx brian
