I'm curious about the audio interface and speakers from Alex, what are they?

But what about after? Not by Linus but by his girlfriend  Pro tip, just nod your head... Even if you think you did no wrong because you could be wrong.

I'm curious on that power strip they used. I wasn't aware that you could get some that are desk mountable.

It's an addon product that you can attach onto the mounting holes on the back of the strip. It looks like this design:

Edit: Scratch that, looks like he bought some generic trash:

Will any of the less tech oriented LTT staff get 5k upgrades? It would be interesting to see what they choose.

Did Alex use all power ports for CPU cus you can run with base clock without full power. in my tuf x570 (ref: attached image) too there are two ports  8 pin and 4 pin. with only 8 pin power it works fine. for overclocking ASUS recommends using other 4 pin port too. So even with full 12 pin power can rgb rams toast themselves?

Hi, anyone know the make and model of that chair they got? For 420 Canadian dollars, seems a good deal and I'am looking for a new office chair.

I think, in the case of the speakers, I have a suspicion that they are Mackie CR5

I stopped watching when the racing car seat style chair came out of the box and linus said "there are good gaming chairs"

 

like... NO!

THAT'S A LIE! GAMING CHAIRS ARE TERRIBLE.

Hi, So what would you go for instead? Also did you have one bad experience with a gaming chair or multiple? (sample size).

Surprisingly conservative choices.
