The reason why all the prices are elevated, is that there will be 10% sales tax from October. Many shops - even from Amazon - have increased their prices to get in on customers panic spending pre-tax increase.
Which is so silly, since the tax increase will only really increase prices by 1.85%. And considering electronics drop in value, getting it earlier yeah.
Besides the deals, Akihabara is so FUN to do shopping on! Dozens of little stores to explore and tons of weird stuff always show up when you are looking for deals.
Built 3 budget builds after watching you. I love the hunt now. 1st is i7 6700 16gb ram and a GTX 1070ti all for $460aud then I got a i7 2600oc to 4gz 16gb ram and a GTX 970 that totalled $185aud the last build is a i7 920 with 12gb ram and a GTX 960 4gb for $170aud all have SSD and HDD in them and led lights and air coolers. The 920 will be getting swapped out for an x5670 as soon as it gets here from eBay. Keep up the hard work and get them deals
Where in Australia are you getting these parts? Black market bios switched? Those are insane last time I checked Edit: I can't find GTX 970's below 130~aud (and I'm on holiday in Europe searching around) Edit 2: I thought this over and you're lying. no way around it
@@randomsomeguy156 my main one I got from a local pawn shop they didn't know what they had and the other 2 came from FB marketplace as complete systems
All of Orlando/Central Florida is like the Tokyo suburbs when it comes to gear. Local shop near me is charging more than Newegg prices for their video cards...it's crazy. Got me missing the old MarketPro shows.
If you were in Akihabara ten years ago you would have lost your mind with the amount of used PC parts there and even 20 years ago it was EPIC. I bought the parts for my first PC build in Japan from a store named PCBUYKING in 1999.
I love the Tsukumo store next to Don Quihote and got a Raijintek mini itx case for just $40. Gotta check out that used store next Nov when I visit again.
I've been to both Dos Paras and Buy More stores and like the selection of hardware even if the prices aren't great. Nice to see the hardware in person.
Managed to pick myself up a 980ti for ¥13000 in Akiba not too long ago, looks like you managed to get some great deals there as well so props to you there
Dude, I definitely can relate on building a pc for my son hoping that he likes it... I could also see those legos in the back, I have to say that we tech dads rule
built my pc when the 2600 first come out 16gb ram and i keep adding to it 2 graphics cards in it 3 ssd drives couple of spinners and it flys like a bird i love it and just keep adding to it and tweaking it
Awesome vid. Funny, you won't show up in my feed for a month (and I watch 75%+ tech spots, with you, RGT, LGR, Adored, Coreteks, and Singularity Prosperity being my most viewed at least videos to watch ratio), then I'll get an alert and get to binge watch for 3 hours! Better than Netflix! About that fellow selling the 4790 PC. He's got to have 16GB RAM (it's ddr3, chances are 2x4 GB sticks so another $25 bucks for 2 more if he doesn't have them lying around) and a simple 120GB boot drive would be more than enough imo (really any size boot drive). I highly doubt he needs _bling,_ but it usually doesn't hurt. Besides that, it **HAS** to be absurdly clean, with numerous pictures which reflect that. Cable management, an alcohol swabbing followed by a thorough polish and shiny fans/heatsinks; that's all free, so it needs to get done. List every part and the specs. His FPS benchmarks on popular games he has, both old and new. Free games even if he doesn't play them are great too. If the rig gets 130fps in Fortnite @high settings, even if he doesnt play or like the game, use it as a selling point bc others do. Take Witcher 3 (or wtv game can provide astonishing views and are well known for their fidelity) screens with custom settings so it still looks great while putting up a high avg FPS. He really shouldn't have trouble selling that setup as is, but the RAM is a killer, the SSD is (to me) a minor issue if the RAM is doubled. Yeah, the only other thing I can see is presentation (and whether or not he is selling it with a Windows License; a ton of ppl don't want to deal with that. Again, like the boot SSD, no biggie to me or most of the ppl here as we'd throw a $10 license on a $10 ssd, but to an average consumer, that can be a make or break. You know what irks me about this? I bet if it had an Nvidia 1050ti or 970 it would have already sold.
Something to consider while traveling is possibly purchasing the PC and then mailing it to your residence. Obviously I don't travel internationally so I don't know about VAT or anything along those things but it might be a viable solution to purchase at a really really good price and then mailing it home.
Went on a bit of a used parts hunt myself and managed to snag a 1070 Ti (no warranty though) for 200€. Most 1070 non Tis go for 180-220€, from test I have done with OC its better than a stock 1080. I see that as an absolute win. Paired it with a 4790K (4.9ghz) and 2400 cl10 ddr3 ram that I had and gave it to my brother. Does +200 (2100mhz) on core and +600mhz on memory.
WD10EZEX was my first hdd i bought 7 years ago and man it was fast, you even did the video how it is being WD Blue is better than WD Black series, at the time was comparable to slower ssd's, it runs silent, cool and is fast - best bang for the buck - now sits in my brothers pc still working fine
Love your overseas deal hunts, massive kudos for building a pc not only for the boy but also the ex wife. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar(pc hustling scholar) great work can’t wait for part 3
Dang, Brian. I just got a 1 TB 2.5" SSD for $98 in USA. Regarding smell, my mother used to smoke 2 packs of smokes/day AT HOME (not including the 2 at work) and after a couple of years this literally left a nasty yellow film on EVERYTHING which, I would imagine, might leave an insulating film on everything. Considering the temperament of electronics, this might be problematic and it's CLEARLY easy to tell if the piece has been around a lot of smoke by the nasty scent.
Hi Bry, great Parts Hunt bud keep up the good work, I have a question if you don't mind, do you think the Snowman CPU Cooler will fit in a Corsair 100R Carbide Case. Enjoy your trip.
The Xeons were the best deal of the day by a mile! That's a whole lot of CPU for $5 😂Although I guess you need a x79 board for those, but that recent AliExpress one you showed would work right?
Pretty good deal hunt, a couple i think could've been had for the same price online if you looked in the righ places, at least in the US i know you can pick up a 2600 for $60 on offer up shipping but all in all it was a pretty good deal
Awesome video. Response to your question of the day I find that people want 580 8 gig and 16 gig of ram. I think it is assumed that you get an SSD now.
Is building a crypto miner for an ex wife a good substitute for alimony?
Asking for a friend.
A friend of mine told me it's okay.
As long as she paid for the loot box...errrr...uummm, "Surprise mechanics".
why not?
@@techyescity hi,Bryan.a question to ask.i bought a used asus gtx1080 founders edition for usd 230?is it a good price?
@@waimrto3154 that is a decent price for a 1080 (founders or not)
The absolute king of hustle. Well done Bryan. I'm sure your little boy will be over the moon with his Japanese hustle-built PC.
“I ain’t paying a premium for polishing. I AM the polish!” 🤣👍
$5 Xeon hands down best deal of the day
I'm looking forward to that "Hydronaut" in the Kryonaut package. Very interesting indeed.
Yes thought about the same thing lol
I got some off Amazon it was difficult to spread dry as popcorn fart, should of used the X application apparently
@@broken1965 You got scammed with some shitty stuff the kryonaut i have havent even seen whats dry

$1250 for all of that is insane... just one build with some of those parts would get you the majority of that money back...
In my contry those parts whould be 3 or 4 times the price, contry (Poor)tugal
i'm glad that you enjoyed and find a lot of good deals in Japan
and was so much fun for me to watch you being the shop where i went often thosedays
Woohoo! The Yes Man is back with part 2 of a classic parts hunt in Japan. My Friday has just been made complete.

Looks like I'll have to take a look at some of these shops you've mentioned the next time I go to Japan. Thanks for highlighting them!
@15:30, time to get new socks :)
maybe there's a deal nearby
The 1050 GTX was my favorite grab. Getting new computer parts - vicariously, through you. :]
More excited for part 2 as what happened in part 1 ;)
"Don't call is a comeback" Yesterday's was a miss, today's hustle was a knock out (well whenever you filmed this one). Keep up the great work!
Man it just kills me that you find such great deals!!! but you really work hard to find them. Great Video.
yes, artisan is the best!!!
currently loving my Hien Mid (bought in 2012 and still using, hand washable)
and i've got the Sakura (pink) color
I love those videos! Exploring all the areas, looking for deals and presenting also lots of great insights from the culture.
Your a beast at creating good content bro love the work you put in very entertaining thank you
I only went to the tsukumo opposite donki. Didn't know this one existed. Gotta check it out next time
All of Orlando/Central Florida is like the Tokyo suburbs when it comes to gear. Local shop near me is charging more than Newegg prices for their video cards...it's crazy. Got me missing the old MarketPro shows.
I really enjoy these vids man. Cheerz!
15:22,that hunt made your socks suffers lol
Great, now I want to listen to Infected Mushroom for a few hours
Love these builds please do more Vlogs Bryan

Happy you got those deals!
I was waiting for part 2 :D
can you come to philippines and hunt pc parts there
Love these videos man, keep it up. Cheers from Brazil
interesting music choices, good video!
Bryan! Have you asked the Japanese what potato means? Because they certainly don't understand that here. hahaha
@Max Paine naww man! You can get Xeons for like $5
You are a good guy! keep up the great videos!
Good job man, this sure recovered you from that other day.
Cant wait for part 3
Mega deals 👌🏻 and I blame you 100% for becoming a pc parts hunter and haggler here in the uk! 😂

How much did you pay for the artisan mousepads?
2 of them were large and 35 usd a pop the other was about 27 or something, they are quite expensive....
Damn still more cheaper than here lol i paid mine 80 euros

Wow thats a bargain I heard it costs around 50 online
I just use tape and paper for mouse pad.
you got a haul with extremely cheap price compared to the price here in my town. great job :)
The smell test actually makes a lot of sense. The Tech Yes City nose knows!
Managed to pick myself up a 980ti for ¥13000 in Akiba not too long ago, looks like you managed to get some great deals there as well so props to you there
Very well done Bryan.
Dude, I definitely can relate on building a pc for my son hoping that he likes it... I could also see those legos in the back, I have to say that we tech dads rule
All of the deals were great!!!
10:19 Is that an Rtx 2080ti for 925 dollars?
Time to plan a trip out to Japan! Great finds!

The used video card deal is the best I see in your video 🤔😂😁👍
Hydronaught or Kryonaught? because you can easily get kryonaught off amazon, pc case gear, mighty ape etc.
"Hydronaut"... As you point out Kryonaut... hahah you silly!

Dual Xeon Build!
Wow those e5 2667 were a real steal, got coupled one of those with a huanazhi x79 and 16gb in quad. Realy decent performence.
Brian! When u return in Australia you'll need to play Control (and do some benchmark with it), awesome game!
No Xeon- No Tech Yes. STANDARD!
