Posted January 1, 2015 My Android didn't make it into the intro Nice video though. Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 1, 2015 Nice quality video. Love the intro and your music selection. The editors deserve a pat on the back. Though I would have liked to see a comparison with other systems to see just how much performance your losing for spending less money. Never trust a hug. Its just a way to hide your face - The Doctor (Sounds something like the grumpy cat would say) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 1, 2015 Awesome! This is a great counterexample to the "PCs cost way more than Consoles" argument, especially considering the longevity and upgradability! If only this guide had been around two years ago... F#$k timezone programming. Use UTC!

Posted January 1, 2015 Youtube comments are cancer when Linus has explained the choice of parts. Cute Android theme intro. We need more of this kind of intros. Bioshock Infinite and Grid 2 or Autosport can be good games to test the rig. 4.4GHz on stock cooler! What was the temps and the voltage? @LinusTech not many may understand OCing right off the bat so it good if you link the video guide for Pentium OC guide. Not all G3258 are made equal so it a good idea to verify if the OC is stable with the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility or AIDA64. Cheers and Happy New Year to the LinusMediaGroup. Budget? Uses? Currency?
