Taran.... that green screen idea when linus said he lies... brilliant.

[audieliem]

So Linus needs a push from sponsors to fix his WAN show PC and tidy up his server room

dbrand if you're listening scrapyard wars pls

[Fermion.]

_Saw the ethernet spaghetti_ - "That's not quite a disaster. I've seen worse."
_Saw the power cable management_ - "Holy mother of god!"

[audhen]

nothing screams louder than a suddenly silent server room

Do you remember the good old days when linus was in NCIX?
But now he is the boss and he can finally break anything without caring about implications...

[alexflores]

Now this is something I would love to do even just as an intern to get valuable experience. I love the physical aspect of working on the hardware and learning as I go.

Taran had too much fun with editing this video

[ethanreinsch]

That is what happens when you have bad cable management? More like that is what happens when you are clumsy and waddle around in sandals.

[fastfolky]

The level of server-level incompetence is staggering, I love these vids because they show a company coming from pc hardware growning up and learning all the basics about server stuff on their own in little baby steps. The honesty and openness about it is great. It did make me wanna jump in from the first move video's to talk about the server

Wow! Just found this review and I’m a bit surprised on how far you let the server room go without having it “ cleaned up”. I only discovered your channel a few months ago when I was doing some research. I find your reviews to be entertaining and informative. But as a retired tech I couldn’t understand why the heck you didn’t have a master plan put in place at the beginning of your business. That said I can fully understand your situation. You’re always running at full speed. But I’m happy to see that you’re making a real effort to put things right. Can’t remember having so much fun seeing someone work that loves his work so much. Great job!

[AlexGarcia-fecx]

I’ve never been on this channel before. I don’t know what any of this stuff is or what it does. But I watched the entire thing because satisfaction.

Will you be upgrading the server cabinet with RGB lighting strips?

[coryking]

"do the editors need internet?"
"not anymore"
*my Internet goes out*

[xvanegas]

This is what I do for a living and I see this madness more often than I should lol. But there are so many ways to improve this room.

[Lord_Euronymous]

9:00 Taran I love you. xD the editing is awesome

[MegaRaja]

So today I spent 10 minutes watching two dudes clean a room

[TimBowers]

00:02:14 that moment when everything goes quiet in the server room.

I've actually seen this happen live, in a real 'DC' (Place I worked with their own server room on site... had extension cable/unit on the floor and someone stood on the switch...).

That quiet sound, is horrible.

[rsethc]

I love these videos that are about the awesome equipment that you use in making videos. Also that segment with Taran on the screen was hilarious.

[SR-cntw]

these are my favorite kinds of videos. I started watching ltt from the moving vlogs and even though I occasionally watch some of the scripted stuff, nothing compares to off-the-cuff videos like these.

That server room is a great example of "There's no such thing as a temporary solution." Those dollar store power bars were (hopefully) there to just test everything, but then they became semi-permanent solutions until now.
