Maan!! Whoow!

 

@LinusTech I expected a really long video of this one. Especially considering that it is a $30k PC.

 

You could have asked Super Flower for their 2000w PSU and throw in 7 x 980 Ti in there.

Wouldn't work.

 

The rear I/O is two slots in width and the PCBs are too long for Linus to get the cards out ever again.

I guarantee it was all sponsored hardware, as most of their builds are. They get the parts, they build it, and the companies who sponsored the hardware in exchange get exposure and in this case Kingston gets to show off the system at CES.

It was, he mentioned that like 5 times lol.

 

I really hope they keep it, it's just a cherry on top that they used the R9 Nano, one of my favorite cards.

Even if they do keep it they are just going to disassemble it anyways.
