The one thing I'm buying that was more or less the result of Linus would probably be the Define R4.

Also, I got a Ducky Shine 3 as a result of Slick. :) He got me interested, I checked it out in unboxings and reviews etc then decided to buy it. So thanks Slick! I'm loving it already. :D

3x Noctua 140mm Fans.

Was floored by how silent and yet cooling efficient they were. Going to pick up some 120mm ones soon for my MITX

Nothing, though Linus has been able to point out some interesting products/companies to look at.

I bought some Logitech G430's because of his review. He should have reviewed the audio. They were god dam awful. I actually couldn't get a refund, nor can i sell them. They are just sitting around right now.

 

I can't sell them cus everyone who buys it wants to RMA it. The LGS and surround sound is so shit.

I got a sound card, mainly because my onboard had major issues but I have to agree it just sounds better than when my onboard sound used to work.

My Monitor, Acer H236HL. Of course it wasn't just because Linus recommended it that I got it, but it was his video that made me look at it and research it more. :)

Haven't bought anything yet (started watching his videos late), but there is a good chance I will take his recommendation into consideration for my next build..

I need a USB-refrigerator for my beer

Hmmm. I'm not sure if Linus has ever been the sole purpose of me actually buying a product. I usually watch his vids, and if the product seems interesting, then I'd go ahead and do some research and such.

Same...not much for blindly following somebody myself. Most of the stuff he recommeds is good quality that's why I keep watching his videos.
