HUGE 'thank you' to all at Linustechtips

I am new to PC building and would have been truly lost without Linus and his crew.  I went from knowing next to nothing to, thanks to techquickie and later linustechtips, knowing enough to build myself a pc I am very proud of.

 

Without the fast and incredibly helpful tech quickies I think I would have given up without even starting.  They made me feel knowledgeable (enough) and confident. so quickly. the whole process went from exciting, but daunting, to exciting and a hell of a lot of fun.

 

The instillation guides and product reviews on Linustechtips were just as useful and entertaining, as well as being very professionally finished.

 

I really can't say how much stress and worry was taken off me by the information and knowledge shared by Linus and his team.  I am a worrier, as such I was very nervous about messing up and wrecking hundreds of dollars worth of kit I had to beg the missus to let me get.  You really helped wash that worry away.

 

So again, a really big thank you, you are all stars!

 

P.S. I am also new to forums and worried about making a mistake, which is possibly why this reads like an amazon review or a letter from a bank manager rather than a heartfelt thank you.

 

P.P.S. When reading this back to myself (checking for errors -worrier-) I couldn't help but hear it in Linus' voice during one of the product placement spiels!  Am I insane?  Have I simply watched too many Linus videos?  Or did anyone else do that too, assuming anyone else actually reads this.  Please  like, dislike, leave comments down below if your views are more complicated that that.................................I think "I have watched too many Linus videos" is the answer.

I'm actually the same way. Before discovering LTT, I was less knowledgeable with computer technology than I thought I was. It was so bad that I actually got a laptop for playing games, and it isn't a true gaming laptop, even though it does everything I ask of it pretty well (except for video rendering). I'm much better with this stuff now, even though I still have plenty to learn. In all honesty, I wasn't concerned about building my next computer until I found several channels promoting it.

I have no signature. There is nothing to see here. Move along.
