This is, quite possibly, the dumbest purchase we've ever made...

 

Hm, I don't know. If you consider that it took $50 worth of crap to reproduce this $250 product, while that $1000 HDMI cable can be matched for like $10 (or less perhaps), that might still be worse :D

Well the case for 250$ looks like a better value than the DIY "whatever-linus-created-here" for 43$ to me.

Even when compared per dollar. And luxury items can never be measured by functionality per price.

Mineral oil and 40 kg aluminium heat sinks are a perfect combination: 73 cores and a Titan X, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Oil

To be fair, you could probably mass produce what Linus made for about 1 cent per case xD

I think it's more like 2$, but yes he used very cheap material.

God that thing is atrocious, supporting the saying that "money can't buy you taste". 

NO! It's art, it's colonialism and you'll never get it!

good video, I'm actually wondering about the swarovski part of it mostly(as in being genuine)

But once again the youtube comments are painstakingly full of ignorance and idiocy, I start to understand why there are channels that close that section, maybe an idea for LTT?

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

Good to know that the money from LTT supporters is being well spent lol.

 

As useless and overpriced this phone case is, I would say that $1000 HDMI cable is way worse of a snake oil product.

 

FYI, Austria isn't in eastern Europe.

True, but you can ACTUALLY use the HDMI cable, this is just cosmetics

still not a tech :ph34r:

 

If the case has battery pack, I'd call it as a Tech.
