Japan's MEGA Used PC Parts Hunt 2019 - "Part 1: Yes we Scan'

[@SuperSonofsatan]

Tech yes city is one.of the best pc channels.on you tube i.come here for any questions I have. You.guys are helping alot of people like me. Please keep up all the hard work.

[@nathan_tasker]

I love watching your videos mate, especially the ones from Japan. I’ve been a subscriber for a long time and always got a kick out of watching your parts hunts from here. Your parts hunts in our wonderful land of Australia are terrific too, but I love the nostalgia.

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

15:31 You know, It's good to learn so that good things happen. No asky No getty. We learned a tonne on the first Taiwan Parts Hunt.

[@クインと申します]

IDK if you will see this in time but when you head to akihabara please check out Yushakobo. Its a shop with tons of parts, 3d printers and tools where you can build your own custom mechanical keyboard.

[@Gromic2k]

"Hey boss, this mobo is not working." "just sell it as "not checked'".

[@alexanderjohansson2671]

Essentially what every 2nd junk item is sold as. I use Mercari (the online app he mentioned) a lot to look for deals and you often see 未確認 which means "unchecked", or in this case "not working, but ain't gonna tell you that."

[@jawnTem]

I used to browse Goodwill stores, and garage sales for cheap parts, mostly because they were donated in the first place. I haven't done it in ages due to better income but I can really relate to what you do. Not upset that your first was a bust as I've gone through this myself. Appreciate your vids regardless of how they turn out.

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

We gonna have a bloody plaque at the location where Bryan started it all!

[@pacifiststormtrooper8839]

Bryans just up the road... will he head over to Taiwan with a bag load of busted bits?

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

@@pacifiststormtrooper8839 I told him to save up whatever boards he's got that doesn't work and we'll do it again. Don't worry, Gigabyte Girl will still be there, happy to see you all.

[@pacifiststormtrooper8839]

@@MarcoGPUtuber you sure she is still there? wonder how many nerdy foreign guys turned up looking to have their bits receive her attention... maybe they had to hide her out back for her own good.

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

@@pacifiststormtrooper8839 Lmao, there aren't that many foreigners here and even then, there are less who watch Techtubers. Just by crunchin the numbers. Not gonna lie, foreigners make up 2% of the population here. 92% of the foreigners here are from Southeast Asia. The largest western group was USA at 1.29%. In a country of 23 million, there are only over 9000 americans. 2100 Canadians, 1553 French, 838 Ozzies and 313 Kiwis. I think the convenience store has more Kiwis for sale than number of actual Kiwis in Taiwan. The first time I ever met Linus, three years ago, he had this look of shock on his face that he actually got recognised in Taiwan. Now he sees me and just thinks *Oh no, not this guy again.* I'm kidding. Most western foreigners hang around Taipei and Kaohsiung, Other than that, there just aren't that many to support the numbers. But yes she is still there, I have to visit her tonight to test and/or repair a board I wanna bring back to Canada

[@pacifiststormtrooper8839]

I would argue most people in Taiwan are foreigners... Mainlanders who came over in the 40's or 50's, Taiwan is a cool place, been twice now people pretty friendly, plenty to see and do, not too pricey.. Hope you hop over to Okinawa as much as you can nice change of pace, cheap flights be a shame not to.. you can probably add Kyushu to that list too, you are a lucky man to be based there its pretty central to most Asian cities just a short cheap flight away.... I'm still burning about the Iphone Screen protector I bought in Guanghua Digital Plaza that the shop attached (but not well) which fell off just after I left Taiwan, of course it shattered as soon as it hit the ground..Damn you now I got a craving for Xiao Long Bao and Beef Noodle Soup.

You can find the 3900X in Japan, while it's sold out everywhere else... Figures.

[@swimming6367]

South Africa has had stock for a while

[@onboard3]

Meanwhile in Finland our biggest store has had 70 pieces of 3900x and there's still over 25 people who ordered on release date that hasn't got one. With this news, they might as well make them EOL :D www.techpowerup.com/259289/tsmc-trembles-under-7-nm-product-orders-increases-delivery-lead-times-threefold-could-hit-amd-product-availability

@@mumppa Hope you get it soon now! I can share the waiting pain, looking for a monitor, had pre-order and was then removed, likely because it has not yet been announced by the manufacturer :D But was supposed to be ready to ship end of this month and now other parts of world say october/december and still no annoucement.

[@MrSamadolfo]

🙂 question? how much are you paying Customs Duty Tax at the Airport when u go back home? What do u declare on your Customs Paper? Do you bring along reciepts for everything you purchased? What was the cost? Was there a documentation fee? How much was the Tax on each individual part? Or do they just charge you a flat fee for everything? Is it by weight? Does the year of manufacture matter for the taxes & tariffs? Are u better off bringing back certain pc parts rather than others? ✈️ thx 🙂

[@gwcomputers]

Lol if you put that much into consideration than you will always buy new parts

[@MrSamadolfo]

@@gwcomputers 🙂 every country has different rules, i am curious what he does when he goes back home, he never seems to mention it, he likes to explain in high detail about building used pcs but he never mentions in detail the costs of Import Tariffs & Duty & Taxes at the Airport for these pc parts? 🤔

[@gwcomputers]

@@MrSamadolfo Exactly my point actually. In all my years of experience swimming in used parts never turned up to be a good deal in the end so i made up my mind some years ago to level up my standard and not just go with new parts but the best brands. Anyway your question applies to new parts also. He uses this for KZbin views and publicity of course that's why it doesn't make much sense to you.

[@MrSamadolfo]

@@gwcomputers 🙂 oh i see, that makes sense, thanks for the explanation 😇

[@tams805]

Unless you're filling entire suitcases with parts (and many of the same type), you just put it in your luggage, hope the baggage handlers are kind enough to it, and go through the 'nothing to declare' channel.

[@choochoodebut3059]

Hi Brian, consider Okinawa for an alternative deals hunt. There's a huge service members population that is constantly buying and selling in addition to numerous used parts stores off the bases, there are several on base too.

[@terastarship2]

You should definitely go to TSUKUMO in akihabara some of the deals there were pretty nice.

[@Archmage1809]

That KRPW-N500W/85+ at 9:15 was made by ANTG (you probably never heard of them) and the platform is AG-316-LLC. If you want a review about them, find review about the Cougar LX500 (almost exactly the same inside), Fractal Design Integra M (they using same platform, just different in rated power output) You can find the platform review on Google. I personally using a KRPW-SN600W/85+, which is a Seasonic-made (you know them, right?) with the famous GB Bronze platform, and they are great. The aesthetic is bad because they are all potato and ketchup wires, but they does the job very well.

13:59 that keyboard holy shit

[@dycedargselderbrother5353]

13:42 Wow, 32 amps on the 5V rail. This is ironically actually worth a little bit for a certain kind of retro PC, like an Athlon XP motherboard lacking a CPU power connector. That is, it's actually well worth the $10 if it works for such a PC. It's an ATX 2.2 supply, so it's from the 2005-2007 time period.

[@Boomerz13]

Is the second hard-off near Toro station?

[@davidklaassen8474]

Nice vid Bryan. Are you still in Tokyo? Would love to meet and have a couple of beers with you. I’ve noticed the prices at Hard-off have been really bad too. They used to be my Goto place for parts.

[@conyo985]

Hardoff was such a bust! What kind of prices are those!? Wow!

[@thedungeondelver]

Okay, dude, what _is it_ you spray on electronics to clean them. I've heard people mention brake cleaner, which is a solvent I can't fathom would be good for PCBs and other components, and others mention WD40 which as the name says is "Water Displacing", but it's also a penetrating oil which would at the very least leave a greasy residue on the board, and attract hella dust. So, assuming it's not those things, what are you using?

[@DoomWalker42]

Tech Yes City's super hero name is Captain Xeon!

[@oliverf.rupert5408]

Tech YES City, Have you ever heard, of distracted walking? Not saying just saying. lol Love the channel let the hunt continue.

[@AsmodeusDeviluke]

I saw some AlphaCool at that 3rd Hard Off...

[@locutus6437]

The logical step, looking at the prices, would be to sell all your stuff in Tokyo.

[@pulsethreadstudios165]

Hard off for newer hardware is terrible, I stick to repairing junk and pre-2000s machines!, good to see you over here in Japan though! You should check out stores further away from major cities or stations as the closer you get to a major city/train network the higher the prices become, you're in effect paying a surcharge on the convenience of getting the item closer to home or a transport network. Additionally, the majority of people take things to sell on a Sunday so during sundays most hard off stores will have a bunch of baskets laid out in front of the main counters filled with stuff that they've hastilly priced to flip quickly, these prices are significantly lower and normally the good stuff will never make it to the store shelves before its purchased, if left till monday when things are slower, staff have a tendancy to do a better search on bigger ticket items before putting them on shelves, basically adding an additional markup. Hope this helps!

[@aardyaardy7795]

Love your work, I don't know a great deal about you, but it seems to me that you can read and speak Japanese, impressive. Can you maybe do a "This is your Tech life". Basic facts about the man behind the deals.

[@shaneeslick]

良い一日 Brian, No TechYes Lovin' after a Day of Hard Offs, I got a pretty good deal this week 2 RX580 Nitro for $300AUD off GumTree, the ad was for RX480s but he had sold them all so did me the RX580s for the same price 😁, Good thing you scored all your RX GPUs when you did earlier this year as they have gone up to almost new prices for 2nd hand in Sydney now, maybe Queensland is the same.

[@alterra9774]

Hardoff? Would you recommend it?

[@wedgoku]

Looks like most new & old PC components are going up in price in Japan this has been happening for like 1-2 years now. You might end up seeing a trend where older slower PC components go up in price over new, because there is still a demand for older hardware that is not produced anymore(people who upgrade their cpus in older motherboards ect)!

Definitely my favorite deal was that power supply. 😂 I've been there on January hunting for video games. In the end Tokyo had a bit higher prices but MUCH MUCH better selection! I went to 10 Hard Offs until I could get a Nintendo 64. Can you believe that?! Enjoy Japan with your kid!

Hi fellow Tech YES citizens. Ive been having a problem and thought this was the best place to say it. I recently bought a Jingsha dual x79 board which ive paired with 2 e5 2667v1 xeons. I also got 8x8gb ecc 1600mhz ddr3, and I'm using my old msi r9 390x gaming 8G. The problem is, that windows boot loops whenever I use more than 2 sticks of ram. Im definitely putting it in the right slots etc, I've checked its seated properly, reset CMOS, and most other stuff like that, none of which has worked. Ive individually tested every stick and they all work fine. Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this? It would be a great help. Amazing video as always by the way Brian!
