Ok, I think its a little unfair how YouTube stars and celebrity's like Linus get free stuff, all the time. Literally Linus could probably get any computer part he wanted if he asked and said he would review it.

You should start a Youtube channel then. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

Well he spent a lot of time on his knees at Nvidia's office.....

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

"Normandy" i7 4790K - GTX 970 - Phantom 410 (Gun metal) - Z97 Extreme4 (asrock) - 128GB Crucial SSD - 1TB WD HDD - H60 Refurb. - 7 case fans | G710+ Keyboard, G230 Headset, Acer GN246HL Monitor.

Quick thoughts on system: I7 is extremely quick and I'm glad I spent the extra for hyper-threading. I regret my decision to get the GTX 970, it has horrible coil whine. There isn't any excuse for this terrible whine I and others are having. I HIGHLY recommend a 144hz monitor. Future Improvements/upgrades: Rubber fan mounts, basic speakers, more ram (for a total of 16gb), replace GPU.

144hz is love. 144hz is life. I like to submit unfinished posts then do about 20 edits. I like the Night Theme too.

Also THEY have sponsors that provide pretty much everything in terms of PC hardware. I highly doubt that their salary can be consistent and high at the same time while spending so much money on those PC components.

 

So :

 

1. You're doing a pretty good job as a youtuber and over time you accomplish that big number of audience

2. You get sponsorship contracts with various clauses both beneficial for LMG and sponsors

3. You get, among paid trips and hotel stays, FREE expensive PC hardware

4. That's it

The process goes something like this...

 

1>  Get good at something.  That is to say get good at DOING something that most other people are not good at.

2>  Get noticed by important person or persons that you are good at that thing.

3>  Talk to those people about doing it for them (to them?) in exchange for the SHEKELS!

4>  Wait for the shekels market to reflect a favorable exchange rate into currency 'X'.  <--Your countries form of capital.

5>  Repeat steps 3 + 4 until you have enough shekels to exchange for capital 'x' = or > the amount needed for said device/s.

6>  Spend your moneys.

7>  Aquire Titan X.

8>  Fight Witches.

Laws only govern the honest.

He used to go undercover at the nvidia manufacturing plant. Slowly stealing Titan Xs during quality control. 

 

When people found out he was stealing the GPUs he ran to Canada and started LMG.

Since my laptop can't run modern games too well I use a PS4
