Glass kills it imo. It just looks so out of place given it's raised so high. 

Monitor is really cool, but cuts off part of the picture so not practical.

How much do they suck, Linus?

solid comma placement.

Waddles fragile crate around like nothing (I hope it was empty at that time)

Throws screws on sofa for future butt hurt...

Realizes his mistake before butt hurt... (hope you didn't miss one!)

He later claims they did a amazing job in detail, yet they have failed to supply him with 2 fully functional floppy drives...

Brandon wasn't ruining it, it was already ruined once the floppies where not functional.

No one around Linus tells him the bots are set on easy

 

However the glass did destroy it. Everything else I can live with but that glass needs to go.

 

Btw you can still buy 5150s lol...

How are thermals on the 8086k with a 120mm rad?

[herrbasan]

Please make some pretty pictures, with the right keyboard. I need to convince someone (the wife) that we need such a thing as the living room PC

Water cooled. hard tube. Turn the top plexi into a custom res with a logo of some sort as the water channels.

Does anybody have a link to the white Logitech mouse shown in the video?

[atarashielectronics]

Wow, that's amazing. Atarashi Electronics actually does that exact thing. We are working on a similar model. Looking forward to any new updates on your system, LMG

[Computernaut]

They really need to make another sleeper, I really enjoyed those videos and they even said they were going to make a third one called "Margret" and haven't yet.

[RozyShaman]

For an upgrade suggestion I say frost the acrylic top and have RGB LEDs firing into it to create an ambient glowing plate. While it makes it look less of sleeper machine I believe it would as a nice touch.

[edgardo_a]

Here are some ideas for the type of mods that would be cool.

-Make a turbo button (blue, preferably) that just increases fan speed or maybe loads the pc with an overclock profile.

-Make those 5.25 floppy drives accept SSDs, to read them when the switch flips and ejects properly.

-Make the monitor click in on top of the pc, just like a keyboard clips on an IBM Portable PC.

 

Any mods you guys do, I'll be more than happy to check out.

[WiredTombstone]

I think I would literally cry if I got something that nice gifted to me by anyone.

 

Also what watch is linus wearing in this video?

[Luscious]

I would throw a pair of tape drives into those 5.25 inch bays if it was me, but something suggests the GPU is taking up that space back there  Also, the monitor should be sitting ON TOP OF the box. And yes, you need a Model M keyboard for that with matching mouse/trackball.

 

My idea of retro would have been completely different though - get a old 21 inch CRT monitor, gut the internals and place a miniITX mobo in there, run extensions down to the desktop box and place all the drives and GPU in the box along with the PSU. You could easily hack a LCD into the CRT frame, or even better, mock up a CRT frame around a modern IPS panel. It would take some work to build, but if done right, I think would look pretty spectacular.

This better not be a fortnite promotion

Needs an actual last-huraah-of-the-CRT monitor like the Sony FW900. Come to think of it, surprised there isn't an episode of LTT exploring the 2K monitor from... 2002?!
 

Other than that, the internals being painted beige would be a nice touch, or even doing a total custom CPU heatsink/radiator to look like the old PCBs inside the IBM 5150.

 

I'm just glad this didn't cannibalize an IBM5100. We need those intact if we're ever going to thwart SERN.

[Bobby Evans]

I did it first!!! But my floppy drive is a slot loading DVD! https://pcpartpicker.com/b/rh29TW

Sweet! But LMG employees seem to be hella salty

THIS.

 

A FW900 paired with that machine would be awesome. (or the identical "HP A7217A" )

 

Though my worry is LTT's competence with CRT monitor review. I mean when it comes to TV's they have a tendency to give out less than accurate information in regards to OLED. I'd hate to see a trainwreck of a review on the legendary FW900.

 

If they did get a good FW900 to pair with the machine and review, they would need to properly calibrate it, and do some testing to see how far they can push their particular screen in regards to resolution and frequency. And do some side by side comparions to LCD, to show just how much a difference there is for those younger viewers who never had the pleasure of using an old CRT.

They could do 1920 x 1200 at almost 100hz, and you could go higher in res or hz. I.E 2304x1440 at 80hz, or 1536x960 at 120hz. and ofc you have the stunning contrast and overall picture quality that trounces LCD.

Hi Brandon. I miss you filming the LTT videos. Where are have you been?
