Old TVs are huge.. But what if you used that space for modern hardware? Well that is exactly what we did, cramming every relevant console into an old rear projection TV.. and 1200W of speakers for good measure.

The ratio of genuinely impressive decisions and execution to pure ' It will be fine' energy is perfect on this.

[andrewjmarx]

I've seen enough generic "build a PC for x dollars" or "build a PC using only parts from x" type videos that I just skip them now, but I will always be here for fun and creative builds like this. Fantastic job.

[MRAMAZRBALLZZ]

Getting Alex to bodge something together is genuinely some of the best LTT content, love it

[Ceelvain]

I freaking love every video where Alex is involved with computer parts. His joyful and genius at "making it work" is just gold!

[xrasGaming]

I love how all the staff in the background are just watching, like they're just like us but they get to see it live.

[DreuScuhDoo]

The engineering team are always cooking michelin star meals. This is nothing short of an engineering marvel and was super fun to watch.

[robs]

I usually never post on Linus videos - but this - THIS is the content I want Linus Ltd to focus on. Fun, inventive, tonnes of ridiculous scope and the team's personality coming across. MORE OF THIS PLEASE!!!

[twsb]

My parents bought this exact TV in 2007. Still have it today, and it works perfectly. Never missed a beat, except for needing a projector bulb replacement around 2012. Very cool to see you guys taking it apart and explaining the tech. Thanks!

[shoego]

The OLED tv lining up so perfectly was the cherry on the top.

[Pathfinder]

Please do more videos like this. As an engineer, a professional welder, a gamer, and a dad who has daughters that loved this video. It was very appreciated. Awesome project.

[PAPO]

I love how this has almost the same "ridiculous nonsense but cool" energy as most LTT builds, but is also kind of practical and something that would be cool to live with every day. I don't say this lightly, but probably one of the best videos on the channel. period.

[SiggsGBR]

"Defeated by latitude" and "how much stuff can we fit in the bottom" are the two best lines in this video, and they're back to back 🔥

[megapro]

building it from 1/4" steel was very important to keep the design bullet proof. 10/10 build.

[james]

I can count on one hand how many YouTube videos I comment on and interact with in the last 15 years but this is incredible. Made me nostalgic for the old design and super envious that I don't own my own version. Looks incredible. Fantastic work.

[TrueGemini_]

Hi, lighting designer here, fresnel lenses have concentric grooves that bend the light into a single focal length so the light is consistent, which is why it's used in products like that

[BAR]

"Alex and Linus being mad geniuses together" is easily my favourite style of LTT video and it's not even close. The "it'll be fine" energy combined with genuine skills & knowledge makes for such a fun process.

[Spazr]

“Darn, defeated by latitude” might be my favourite Alex quote

[jr_kulik]

Alex’s solo performance is fantastic in this video, it’s engaging and shows his passion, whilst staying natural.

[legionary]

11:33: I love how Alex just enters the frame, Linus renders silent, and Alex is just keep going, bright smiling on his face, knowing what Linus thinks, but without regrets, moving forward with it xD

[SethCrowderMusic]

This is actually insane, alex really just showed up every smart tv manufacturer hahaha
