WAN Show stream PC problems

So I'm watching the WAN show right now (It's here: http://www.twitch.tv/linustech) and when Linus started late, it made me wonder- why?

 

I can understand that they have limits like doing real work before the show, their internet, and physically starting the stream. This week a technical difficulty caused the delay, and I began wondering, what are the stream PC specs? We all know that LMG has a few PC parts lying around. You get a behind-the-scenes look at the graphic's card situation when Luke was on TechTalk last night. (View it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V47hDv5AXU8&list=UUkWQ0gDrqOCarmUKmppD7GQ). Linus jus t walks in & walks out with ALL of the 980's. You can see the entire office here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EMhR6cUN8Y.

 

What I'm wondering is why Linus, Luke and the team couldn't make an overkill stream PC with enthusiast grade motherboard/ RAM, a huge SSD array, all their capture devices, and an i7. Maybe I'm overlooking something. What are your thoughts?

Time. They have other priorities, and other needs for that hardware first, like editing PCs.

It is usually software and driver issues. I think there was  a handful of times that it was the hardware

There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Just some helpful stuff: You're - You are, Your - Your car, They're - They are, Their - Their car, There - Over there.
