[dfsgsfa]

@LinusTechLINUS, WHY DO YOU REMOVE YOUR FACE MASK IN THE VIDEO WHEN YOU SPEAK??

 

HAVE SOME RESPONSIBILITY PLEASE, WE NEED TO CEASE CCP VIRUS AT ONCE!!

This also jives with unlimited budget. And why quadros instead of geforce. LOL

Joel might do another collab video, but he definitely doesn't need Linus to show him how to build a PC. He custom built The Cube v3 after all...

It's OK - Lyle can lend them his Riv-strong Braceret to protect them from the short circuit.

What is going on here? Azza just released the Pyramid 806. Read about it yesterday and today this video pops up...

Well, for a short moment, I was on the verge of taking that seriously

I like the build, but there is one design feature that could add much to the theme: The pyramid's top needs to be removable, e.g. we need to have a capstone. You could build the machine such that it only works with the capstone in place, which should fit with the theme. The fastest way to do that would be to put a reed switch on the power button cable, mount that directly next to where the capstone goes and then to mount a small magnet to the capstone. If done correctly, the switch will close once the capstone is present, thus enabling the power button to work.

Here's one for us pre-made case scrubs:

Do you have any experience as to how Solidworks compares to Fusion360, Inventor, or OnShape?

I need to know who this client is.

Given it's a pyramid, clearly Ramesses III...

if you have a geforce gpu use fusion360 if you have a quadro use solidworks or any of the other stuff

If you're planning on doing hobby stuff then just use Fusion360.  Solidworks is my favorite but unless you're doing it professionally the cost of a license won't be doable.

You know Azzatek sells a pyramid case, right?  Unless you are ranting how much Newegg CA charges for it:

guys - seriously Part 2, maybe it can't happen now for "something something dark side" reasons, but for the sake of all that is holy-Linus, just upload a video, of literally anything, I need it....for OCD reasons.

We agreed to build an insane system for someone with an unlimited budget.

What kind of cable did you use to power those Comino's risers? I'm curious because I'm thinking about using one myself, but I can't figure out what kind of power cable to use because my power supply doesn't have an additional 4-pin power cable. 
Would a Molex to 4-pin adapter work?

Pretty sure it comes with a molex adapter so you're gtg.

Is there a part 2 for this build?

There will be, but it'll just be out-takes of Linus dropping stuff

Soon.  Had to redesign a bunch of stuff after the 3090 announcement because it's huge and wouldn't fit.

Aye yoo

I understand that the customer was probably a squeaky child with daddy's golden MasterCard or whatever but I can not excuse the language used when referencing the customer and to add insult to injury (like literally) in public. 

 

I would ask for a refund if I was said customer and maybe, since I obviously have lots of $$$$$$ to waste I may also have sued them. 

 

 

Unless they agreed with the customer to say stuff like that to make the video funnier. 

[eeeee1]

the customer may be wrong, the engineer may be wrong

 

but the overworked, underpayed and overwhelmed assembly line worker is never wrong
