  • Biography
    Been a budget gamer since my old Command & Conquer / Starcraft days. Being a nerd led me to a Physics undergrad and Mechanical grad, where I met most of the friends I game with. Landed a job that lets me play with robots. Finally, got out from under enough college loans to build the kind of gaming PC that I've always wanted. Re-learning PC building after 10 years absence is what led me to Youtube, to Linus's AWESOME! content, and finally to this forum. So Hi!

  1. The YouTube audience is the one ultimately responsible for the clickbait nature of YouTube. I can't think of any other channel at LTT's level that doesn't employ the method. I can't think of any channels in the tech space that don't do it either to some degree. I don't understand why LTT is seen as any sort of exceptional example.
  2. I think their current valuation has more to do with them being seen as a safe stock market bet in a tumultuous market. So I'm not sure how much it is coupled to fundamentals.
  3. Happy April Fools! You got me. Here I was trying to look at F@H stuff and I clicked on that silly banner message. Well done! Go LTT Folders!!! Free us from COVID!
  4. What about a building a custom liquid cooling loop, but with Liquid Metal like Conductanaut? Here's an example electromagnetic pump pushing liquid Mercury around. and a Sodium-Potassium "NaK" pump:
  5. Technically, a series of explosions is how a home backup or mobile generator works by combusting gas or diesel fuel.
  6. LTT revists Cooling a PC with a Fridge! But this time it is an industrial fridge like these Thermo Scientific Lab ones: https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/lab-equipment/cold-storage/lab-freezers/ultra-low-temperature-freezers-minus-80.html I saw a few units on my local craigslist for about $30-$5k
  7. Other than the horrifying discomfort for everyone involved and the long term impact to the reliability of the loop, this would work almost identically to a water cooled PC.... That being said, outside of an April Fool's video, I don't think I actually want to see them do this.
  8. I'd love to see this or a Lego Case build or K'Nex or even erector set!
  9. A variant on this idea I'd like to see is what platform and upgrade from years past turned out to be the longest lived with good performance. Call it, "Hindsight 2020"!
  10. Now that Alex and Linus have a cooler work shop, I'd love to see them try to build something like: the Nude CNC water block, but for something crazy like a 3950x, Threadripper, or even EPYC!!! A 3M Novec phase change setup A custom made vapor chamber With their extensive heat pipe experience, a passively cooled PC Case
  11. Some Scrapyard Wars ideas for 2020+: 1) SW at LTX! Gamers bring their junk hardware for LTT to scrounge from 2) Living with Scrap! Budget rigs built in the SW tradition, but then gifted to someone to live with for a year 3) Subzero or sub-ambient Scrap! 4) SW Super Custom PC's using the LTT Workshop and Alex's skillz contestants compete to fabricate the most unique PC's possible 5) Scrap through the Generations! Normal SW style builds, but restricted to certain years or gens of hardware of yore. 6) SW Pimp my PC edition! Help upgrade a viewer's PC with the best bang for the buck components available.
  12. @CPotter I'm confused. I went to the genius link, but there's no more Amazon affiliate link. Did that go away?
  13. It's a pretty open ended question. So why are you asking?
