Ah yes, I see why you needed custom sleeved cables and a perfect water-cooling bend to enjoy the aesthetics of the system that you put in a server case, in a server rack, in another room, on another floor.

[dylantaylor]

I love how they replace a super high end power supply that is already overkill for the load for NO REASON other than a sponsor spot and it's the thing that gives them the most trouble with the build.

[duratoke]

As a union plumber I find the opening shot so sweet. Every joint wiped to perfection, looks commercial grade - amazing in a home system. The aluminum back-plate is a nice touch.

[bryce]

Tip: Run a permanent conduit tube from the upstairs office down to the basement hole and use a wall junction box upstairs that is open (with some brush material). That way you can easily run new cables up/down to the server rack and test out new configurations (or it makes for easy cable replacement).

[niugcap]

I was caught off guard when Linus said "it's time to show you guys... our genius plan" and he didn't say sponsor.

[PodtrashRadio]

Seeing Linus drain the cooler into the Timms cup made me feel good lol. His new home looks so cozy and you can tell he’s extremely excited and happy about it. It’s so much fun setting up a new home

[AntVenom]

Ahh, I see you've finally moved your computer heating and noise problem to the basement. Inspired by your "Whole Room Water Cooling" project from years past, I've been rocking a setup just like that for 6 years now, and it still works flawlessly! I've only flushed the system 2-3 times. Though I took the weirder "keep the tower upstairs, but water-cool it downstairs" route. Your method is definitely much cooler though. We've finally come full circle. 😂

Linus: "You stole this from the office, didn't you"
Also Linus: "oh, a 3090 from the office...for

[thecaffineman]

Can I just say I could watch this kind of content for hours! It’s like home makeover or grand design but with tech! 😂

[Dublin_N]

Amazing that a house of dreams like this is much more realistic than getting a 3000 series card within 2 years **for less than $1000**

[chihebbacha]

"You can share a GPU online"
Gentlemen, we made it. Technology has come so far that we can actually download more RAM soon

[jurassicpeter]

I love how excited Linus is.
As someone who's been watching since 2013/2014 it makes me happy to see someone succeed and enjoy it as much as Linus and his team seem to do

[thingle]

Linus: "I think these cables might be identical"

Yeah don't try that. I accidentally destroyed 2 disk just because I stored all cables from modular PSUs in the same box. Accidentally took a cable from my Chieftec PSU (don't judge) and used it with my EVGA PSU. 12V and 5V are swapped so my disks got 12V instead of 5V. I had to solder in new fuses to get the disks to work. Brand new disks as well.

[Sammie]

“To be clear, I would never recommend doing this. You can easily destroy your hardware.”
“Here’s how to do it.”
Linus channeling his inner Valve I see

[Nostalgia_Realm]

This is the kind of setup I would want when I own an actual house instead of a one room apartment 😔

[Real_MisterSir]

Jake feels like that npc companion that we totally do not deserve to have at our side, yet he's always there to aid us in our fuckups and cheer us on through whatever hardship we might face :)

[ryanhoran]

Linus: "You don't actually need a 3090"
Also Linus: "I need a 3090"

[motoboggin]

you could say his gaming experience was taken to another level.

[MrScorpianwarrior]

"Here's some sawdust" "Aahh!"
This almost killed me, it is so simple but so funny.

[one-six]

At this point I basically never skip Seasonic sponsor segments. They're just so nice.
