I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

i mean if it wasn't for consoles amd would be bankrupt by now and we'd still be paying $400 for a 4c/8t i7

God that case is awesome looking. I was about to make a comment about what the noise/thermals must be like, but then I remembered my PS4 pro sounds like a vacuum cleaner.

@AlexTheGreatish The Giveaway is open world wide ?

You can take a look at all of the Tech that I own and have owned over the years in my About Me section and on my Profile.

 

I'm Swiss and my Mother language is Swiss German of course, I speak the Aargauer dialect. If you want to watch a great video about Swiss German which explains the language and outlines the Basics, then click here.

 

If I could just play Videogames and consume Cool Content all day long for the rest of my life, then that would be sick.

Hey guys,

 

this looks really awsome. Even more awesome would be a complete list of all the components used. This would also save you from replying to individual questions as seen above. And as a bonus you can also directly link these parts via affiliated links and maybe earn some additional money, even though I would not use them to buy since I am from Europe ;)

 

Edit: Don't forget the PCIE adapters and thank you in advance

Looks like the Corsair K63 and lapboard.

They didn't mention it, but it looks like @AlexTheGreatish installed Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM at timestamp 4:01. More than likely it's 16GB.

speaking of SFF computers we have all seen computers built into a desk, but how about a SFF pc built into a entertainment center for possibly retro/VR gaming with the all the required ports built into the top or side of the entertainment center? I think that would be a great project/video!

Can you give a list of all the games that are installed? Can't find them here or on GOG. Or on the giveaway page.

SonofStifler it should be the first 500 entries of this list: https://www.gog.com/games?sort=bestselling&page=1

As Linus said: "the 500 top selling games..."

 

 

Edit: first time on this forum and it is not quite intuitive or I've just lost touch with more modern ones (probably the later), sorry for weird format

Thanks, I did find that page but I did the math 48 games per page times 71 makes for 3408 games in total, I had them in alphabetically order which is easier to read.

That Leisure Suit Larry in The Land of The Lounge Lizards segment had me on the floor, I love that you had to verify that you're 33, that is amazing. Props to the developers, that is some quality verifaction.

So i made an account just to complain about a free contest, so yes yes I'm petty.

Let me get to my reasoning though.

 

Linus Media Group, in its position as a reviewer of all things tech, should be well aware of the massive abridgement of human rights that is social media privacy policies.

It is frustrating then, to see LMG endorse this abridgement by forcing users to apply to the contest through social media. (see photo) I find the practice of compelling people to use social media in this way abhorrent.

What makes this even more galling is that the terms and conditions state that anyone worldwide may enter. (see photo) That is clearly not the case though.

Now I can understand requiring an email address, as there must be some way to contact the winner. Fine. But, there is no need to require social media when captcha or other protections would have worked as well.

Honestly LMG, I expected better from you and I am disappointed.
