We just want to remind you to check the instructions next time LOL. If you have super heavy objects OVER 355lbs, consider getting yourself an E7Q😉

[AntVenom]

Literally nobody can come @ me anymore for having too expensive of a setup for Minecraft. I'm jealous Karl!

[duke]

Instead of Linus giving Karl the "trust me bro" warranty he gave him the "don't @ me bro" warrenty

[chaselemasters]

bro asked for a 100, 000$ dollar pc
bro got a 10k pc and a 90k table with nice legs

[trilon]

Love to see spending 100k and having 24 fps on max graphics. Truly a magnificent view.

[aceghost]

Me who has been milling things for like 4 years (all be it on a 3 axis mill) can not come close to explaining how much I respect the level of craftsmanship of the desk.

[faustog]

Imagine paying $100.000 grand and "only" getting 4tb of storage💀💀

[FukoHasStarfish]

A year later and this video still makes my stomach churn with what an insane waste of money it is

[superdoodle]

This dude gets paid 100k to build a pc, has all the parts sent to him for free, and then puts a sponsor spot on the video. Linus has the game on lockdown

[quanghuyvu]

Linus went from building a $500 PC a week ago to a $100K PC

[ronett]

15:14 i love the "activate windows" text

[StllrDwn]

i like the fact that you're happy with the build but even put your input as to the subjects of warranty, 1 of 1 and all other realistic parts of owning a good and professional business. very professional, love to see it.

[iNick]

It's nice to know for a measly $5, 000 you can have the same performance 😅

[servissop]

Imagine in like 5 years when the time comes to upgrade the mb, cpu and gpu on this thing, what a time Karl is gonna have

[Mr.TX]

Did I hear this correctly? You built a 100k computer and only put it on monitors maxing at 144 hz?? Lmao

[arron]

having a standing desk, it was really impressive there was minimal wobble at 360 lbs fully extended.

[EagleRiverElectronics]

Title: Building a $100k PC.
Reality: Building a $6k PC with $20k of peripherals and an $74k desk.

[ensuredchaos]

I find it ironic that even with a near infinite budget for hardware and the most custom cooling solution known to man, they only managed to hit 45 FPS with Minecraft Shaders enabled when they cranked up the graphics and looked into the distance lol.

[Frostbye]

I have a question. Does it matter if you swap the CPU block in and out? I have the Thermaltake pacific mx2, or does the pump have to work too hard? or does it cool worse?

[harbirsingh]

That third equalizer loop itself needs a video of its own! I've never heard of something like that before.
