I'd like to see a real speed building challenge between some of the top name 'Tubers, with the following challenges:

 

the 'Tubers don't know ahead of time what parts they will be building.

The cases used will be the worst possible ones in the industry (Phanteks evolv Shift comes readily to mind)

Points will be deducted for going over time, or temps, as determined by "proper" builds in said cases, by other folk who are not under a time crunch.

Cable management will be a thing, sloppy and it counts against you.

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

The challenges are rigged

At least the entertainment value was there. Was definitely kind of sus that Linus happened to finish just as 69% was reached, but the video was enjoyable without the stakes anyway.
