Risking my life to save $5000

After the leak in Linus' home rack watercooling setup, most of the hardware fortunately survived, except for the ~$5000 UPS battery backup unit that powers most of his hardware! Fortunately, we found a shipping damaged unit on ebay that can be frankensteined together to hopefully have one functioning UPS. Do not try this at home.

Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.

Missed the opportunity to use the old Bryan the Electrician intro with Tynan poorly dubbed/edited in

[nx]

the sheer amount of disclaimers around the first 2 minutes tells me this video is going to be a good one.

[fuzzyhair]

Tynan is in a video and didnt have his chaotic energy. This really did spook him enough to be professional

[chandlerm]

16:52 The face of a guy who saved thousands of dollars while making his company tens of thousands. Way to go Linus!

[FernandoLopez-mpbs]

"If I died I'd want the company to monetize it"

Hi everyone, Linus died..
after seeing this killer deal
from our sponsor

[TetraSky]

Tynan's "okay" to Linus justifying using an extension instead of changing the plug entirely is what I feel whenever someone tells me about their insane ways of doing things that could be so much better, but because it "works"for them this way, they don't want to change it...

[minecraftmaniac]

Tynan being in a video REALLY means you can die if you try this

[dot-Justin]

9:30 "Metal is metal, and if it's metal then it's metal"
Truly one of the Linus quotes of all time

[eldibs]

"DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. Not only will you die, but it will hurt the whole time you are dying."

[faux_hobo]

19:23 the ernestness of his "yes" to that last question fills me with joy.

[Drippy_Jesus]

Love Tynan's subtle concern throughout the whole video

[artlub]

Hey, I wanna truck with the steering wheel on both sides, too. 18:08

[thesinglemathnerd]

Ways beer and UPSs are NOT alike:
1. You cannot drink a UPS. Even if you could, you probably shouldn't.
2. You should not go to a UPS tasting.

[theliamcooke]

Linus dying on camera and it being sponsored by D brand would be their ultimate gag

[pandaman.]

"Metal is metal and metal conducts" is the new "glass is glass and glass breaks"

Thanks Tynan

AC can't exist when it's unplugged... Unless of course you are working on a UPS 😂

[dogbog]

The fact he joked about licking the 2 terminal wires and got crazy close is pretty funny considering his knowledge

[yellingintothewind]

Even if the design includes a bleed down resistor, when you are dealing with damaged components, you cannot rely on the bleed down resistors still functioning.

[Sellonis]

And thus Linus' home insurance policy was cancelled once they discovered the second hand UPS installed in the basement.

[Didymuss]

Tynan wiggled like a cat whilst watching the UPS.
