Note: accepting the $5000 would forbid you from ever meeting linus or slick or any of the linus tech tips crew. Ever. : )

If I were to even receive such an offer... Although I would like the opportunity to meet them, I feel quite close already with the livestreams and videos. SO my choice would be the $5000 and do what they love doing as well. Buy some materials and start modding.

I'd take the $5000, then fly the 4 Hours to vancouver and offer them $1000 to spend a day with them. Then I get like 3500+ left over, and A day with them :)

I'd take the 5 grand - Build an insane rig and post the build log on the forum getting my self in turn featured on build logs of the week :)

I'm feeling as if you'd be a bit too bias for build logs of the week, haha.

Thats a no brainer, 5000$.
As much as I enjoy watching their videos, me meeting them will amount to a bunch of greetings and some small talk + some awkward moments. Id also be wasting their time, thus resulting in a slower video content.
