I think it would be pretty cool if we did a hardware survey so we could find the "average LTT viewers PC". Maybe if we take it far enough, Linus or someone from the staff could build it.

It would be interesting to do a super-poll of sorts. I tried to do one myself in the past, but due to forum poll limits and to keep it sane, I had to limit the options.

 

 

Main system: i9-7980XE, Asus X299 TUF mark 2, Noctua D15, Corsair Vengeance Pro 3200 3x 16GB 2R, RTX 3070, NZXT E850, GameMax Abyss, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB, Acer Predator XB241YU 24" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync + HP LP2475w 24" 1200p 60Hz wide gamut
Gaming laptop: Lenovo Legion 5, 5800H, RTX 3070, Kingston DDR4 3200C22 2x16GB 2Rx8, Kingston Fury Renegade 1TB + Crucial P1 1TB SSD, 165 Hz IPS 1080p G-Sync Compatible

Here's my main PC that I'm using right now...

Spoiler

Dell Optiplex 9020 MT

i5 4590

16Gb 4x4 1867M/t RAM, stuck at 1067M/t because Dell

Gigabyte RX 560 4Gb

128Gb SSD + 2Tb 7200 RPM HDD

Linux, Fedora Workstation

...and here's my dream PC, each part was chosen for Linux compatibility and privacy. I'm a long way from actually getting it, and by then it'll be like using a Pentium 4 nowadays. Still a work in progress, and open to suggestions that help meet the goal for it. Realistically, it'll never get built though, but I can dream.

CPU: AMD FX 8370
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition
RAM: Patriot Viper 3 16GB(2x8GB) 1833Mhz CL10

They have kinda done one with Steam VR survey. And have previously done yearly for Amazon affiliate purchases. For bigger viewer survey, just using forums gives kinda small sample.

The tricky thing about it would be handling multiple devices. I have various computers and use them interchangeably so I wouldn't say I really have a main PC.

That's what the Amazon affiliate videos are. Doing anything more than that would require much more than just creating forms to be filled.
