True.
The "i5" xeons are usualy more expensive than i5 but the "i7" xeons make a lot more sense since they are cheaper than i7 and about the same price as unlocked i5.

WAIT HOLD UP. WE DONT WANT LINUS'S PERSONAL PC. The case has a lot of meaning to him guys. It was a gift from his wife. I believe it was the first gift from her too.
EDIT: Thanks for all the likes guys! Hopefully Linus or someone from LMG will read this and this will make Linus keep his build. Even if the goal of 100k is made we should convince Linus to do another build maybe, with signatures from the whole LMG family and maybe even his wife. This would let Linus keep the build he has with the special case his wife gave him. Besides, his personal PC would be more special to him than us.

Too bad not all your videos are on Vessel, because I would've picked your Razer Abyssus unboxing/review because it's the first video I ever saw of you guys (no idea why I stuck around after that terrible video  )
 
And this may seem silly and I don't know how you are going to pick winners, but if somehow, I win the Shield Portable please choose another winner because I don't have the power to stream anything to it 
 
You guys are amazing btw ^^
