NCIX Bankruptcy Auction - Day 1 - YouTube

It is official, my friends. The bankruptcy auction of my former employer,

NCIX.com, has begun. It's today. I've got my voter card - this is my registration.

So, it's the previewing day.

We're gonna go in, we're gonna see what's what, and then we're actually gonna come back tomorrow.

The NCIX Tech Tips gold play button is in there. That's my s**t

I want that, and I'm sure I'm gonna find some other stuff too. Check this out:

For any unfilled orders, please contact your credit card company to charge back. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

We're done. We're f**king done.

All right, let's go.

Synergy 2 lets you seamlessly share a mouse and keyboard between multiple computers.

Check it out at the link below.

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 computers 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 a

month or two ago, and I was chatting with the 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 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 were 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

This test blank.

No way

There is so much like epic loot here look at this

Alienware Compu 2000 stress balls

This is doing nothing for my stress right now

You could do like 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?

Alright ok this is fun. We found a home for the stress ball I found on the floor.

Stress, stress is all gone now, and we've got some other good stuff here, too

So this this was my bad like 8 years ago. I cut a PO for this

This is the mountain mods. 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 plonk 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,

These that mod smart these were the primo chill guys

Sometimes they moved ok some colors, though

Not as successful as others. More danger den stuff

Oh no an AM2 hold down for the Swiftech storm.

Oh, oh ok here's another good one. I guarantee you I bought this too

Apogee GT, yup

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 DB one from D

Tech do you guys remember D Tech?

I didn't think so

Danny from D Tech. Good guy good guy, man. They made the best Barb's 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-huh it's a PCI card

This is a Phys X card, Phys X by Ageia.

(Phizz 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

Oh, its 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 2...

Here's a pink case for it as long as I'm willing to buy

30 of them and also

holy crap

There's like a couple hundred cases for the Galaxy Note

Not the note 3 or note 5 or note 8, 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 trip

Oh check this out. This is X270 something- no X99 not Z270.

So like whatever is in here is in here

Huh also not Z270, that's another X99 board it's got like

laptops

laptops for days in here

And boxes for like phones and stuff too like is this a blackberry phone? No, see empty box.

But this feels like there could be a P9 Plus inside... and there isn't.

So you go you're gonna go through this stuff pretty carefully one thing

I know for sure though is that Craigslist is going to be flush with

hardware deals, hardware deals for days on Craigslist with markup after this auction I

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 might be us]

Now this kind of stuff is sad like I remember Irene I worked with Irene she doesn't have a job anymore

Yeah, she was really nice.

I guess I didn't really have anywhere to go with that...

Yeah, no I actually have nowhere good to go with that. That's kind of a bummer. Wonder what Irene's stuff is in here.

A Sears bag and some gloves

Holy s**t

Is this all of the customer records? This isn't for sale, right?

Throw away, okay? Yeah good. Shred hopefully...

Ok so here's all the good stuff

Here's a bunch of like current motherboards X370 pros like here's a rampage

5 Edition 10, it's like a 600 700 dollar board

Here's all the graphics cards that are worth anything as well, so your 1060's, 1070's.

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 lunch room chairs lunch room 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 CEOs office.

so

Apparently he set it up with a projector at some point. It wasn't like this last time I was hanging around here but

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 CEOs 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

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

basketball signed by Dirk Meyer

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 twenty thousand subs over there get a cat tips play button

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

If we uh, the idea was we'd be able to green or blue screen in this room, but what happened in practice was

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

I guess we'll be back tomorrow with

Bidding what are we gonna, buy?
