Linus' son: "it still needs two more screws!"

Linus: "No, you don't need it"

 

Linus, this is not how we teach DIY to the next generations!
Also, he needs an Intel Nuc Extreme or whatver with 32GB of RAM, but not two more screws?! You got your priorities not set straight IMO ... 9_9

Whoever mixed the audio... bad job. Voice fades in and out in some laces or background music gets louder than Linus' voice.

 

// Hopefully it's not some stupid setting on this computer's sound card

Linus still has the bike, nice

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III

if this wasn't sponsored by LG, you should have used the Sony VPL-VZ1000ES.

His son is secretly the fifth LinusTechTips editor and needs that RAM for Adobe Premiere.

Some thought.... you could go to some recycling place and find some big 55"+ LCD monitor with broken/damaged lcd panel (literally cracked glass/panel etc), and just take out the reflective filters and layers from the back of the LCD screen and you get yourself a nice projection screen.

 

You get some nice flat shiny reflective surfaces this way.

Competition is worldwide, but LG would be paying any import taxes & fees, right?

For example, UK VAT is 20%, so if it were up to the winner they'd be paying $300 in tax on that $1500 projector.

CPU: i5 4670K  Cooler: CM Hyper 212 Evo  MB: Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3 ATX  RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengance  GPU: MSI R9 280 3GB

PSU: EVGA 600W Bronze  Case: Corsair 200R (with pair of 120MM Noctua Redux PWM fans)  SSD: 250GB Samsung 840 EVO

HDD: 1TB Toshiba DT01ACA100   Optical: Pioneer BDR-209DBK Blu-ray writer
