  1. Linus talked about wanting to do a collab with DIYPerks but not knowing what that would look like since his channel is mostly focused on long term projects. A potential idea is a DIY-off, maybe something like the old show Junk Yard Wars. Basically both sides would agree on a theme and have a certain about of time to build something related to that theme. Once done, you meet up with your builds and compete in a series of challenges. Optional constraints could be only using materials found in places like thrift shops and recycling centers.
  2. The Fiio BTR5 is a portable amp/DAC that supports wired USB-C or bluetooth and has enough power for high impedance headphones.
  3. Adam has been showing up in a lot of videos lately and he seems to have really good chemistry with Linus
  4. Keep going from there! Mine is a wooden countertop from Lowes!
  5. I've been playing around with reverse engineering RF remotes to integrate otherwise dumb devices into my smart home. It was daunting at first, but I quickly discovered that there are various open source programs that make this surprisingly easy. I followed this Instructables guide and the ultimate goal is Home Assistant integration.
  6. I know it's impractical, but my favorite LTT project was whole room water cooling. It would be cool to see that reimagined.
  7. I've been switching back and forth between the 1060 and 580, but I think I've settled on the 1060 for Shield tv game streaming and the fact that I can actually find them.
  8. I'm starting my first build and I'm a little worried that I've goofed it up already. Initially, I was trying to put together a decent computer as cheaply as possible. This led me to buy this 450w EVGA psu for $20 before I even knew what I was doing. From all of the research I've done since, it looks like I should be find, but I may be pushing it a bit. I may want to overclock a bit in the future, is this psu going to be able to handle that?
