Didn't he do some retro unboxings a couple years ago while he was at NCIX? I think it was some kind of motherboard and a AMD CPU.

CPU: AMD 3950x Mobo: MSI B550 RAM: 32GB DDR4 GPU: Asus 3080 Strix PSU: Superflower Leadex 3 720w Case: BeQuiet 500DX

Storage: 2TB SSD + 4TB HDD Audio: SMSL 793ii -> HiFiman HE-400 + Mission MS-50 Speakers

Wonder if Linus has any old electronic he could unbox ???

SNes, Old AGP cards, maybe an old Pentium 3 ? would be entertaining to see
maybe a comparison and benchmarks compared to today's product's
Sure these companies have old products sitting around they can throw his way

I'd love to see him make an retro build with windows 98 and a CRT screen

Maybe the next scrap yard wars !

That would be funny to see a build limited to a certain time period. Like no parts that launched after a certain date.

My posts are in a constant state of editing :)

CPU: i7-4790k @ 4.7Ghz MOBO: ASUS ROG Maximums VII Hero  GPU: Asus GTX 780ti Directcu ii SLI RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance PSU: Corsair AX860 Case: Corsair 450D Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB, WD Black 1TB Cooling: Corsair H100i with Noctua fans Monitor: ASUS ROG Swift

laptop

Some ASUS model. Has a GT 550M, i7-2630QM, 4GB or ram and a WD Black SSD/HDD drive. MacBook Pro 13" base model
Apple stuff from over the years
iPhone 5 64GB, iPad air 128GB, iPod Touch 32GB 3rd Gen and an iPod nano 4GB 3rd Gen. Both the touch and nano are working perfectly as far as I can tell :)

Would be cool to see another one, but it seems like LTT has moved past unboxings. They had the chance to do one (in the brand new vs. well used GTX 480 video), but didn't do a real unboxing video on it.
