I'm Embarrassed For Her... - PC Build with NCIX Esther

Thanks ASUS for sponsoring today’s video! Check out the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM at rog.asus.com/us/monitors/27-t...
Yvonne's sister Esther needed some help with the family computer, so of course she called Linus. Well it turns out it needed a lot more than a light dusting and some minor tweaks, so he built her a new PC on one condition: we get to roast her current PC first.

[@NotATube]

Honestly, it's not really "dirty" at all, just somewhat dusty. Nothing a bit of compressed air won't blow away. (Mine was just as bad the last time I cleaned it!) You want minging? A PC from the house of a heavy smoker- in either sense of the word- is likely to be *far* worse. I don't repair computers for a living, but I work with people who do, and the buildup of sticky, brown "dust" gunk I've seen inside some of the worst examples is disgusting and fully justifies the extra charge for cleaning! :-6

Esther is a good reason to resubscribe. New favorite sister, and I have two of my own. 😂

[@whakos]

I have the same Bitfenix Prodigy case (only in black) from 2012! I do love it, but that PU coating on the plastic surfaces deteriorated over time and became sticky. I see the dust on the white in the video, so I guess it's not just mine. I would buy it again though if it was still available. I also chose the Torrent Nano as replacement.

[@xpreame3406]

I loved her on tech linked great energy. I was mentally voting for her and Riley for joining ltt

[@ventilate4267]

netlinked?

[@arnox4554]

She realllyyy doesn't look very enthused about tech in any way though. Not sure she would even want to do it.

[@ryanpauloneeyed9669]

Surprised she doesn't work for LTT in some capacity...

[@eldibs]

It warms my cold, dead heart to know that success has not made Linus snooty about going slightly cheap where it's reasonable to do so.

[@naomy1701]

amn that monitor tho OO wowzers! congrats Esther, and thx LMG ^^

Why is the title and description in Spanish for me? I'm in the UK. Good job KZbin 😂

You can definitely tell Yvonne and Esther are sisters, they are so much alike.

Wow, talk about blast from the past for that Bitfenix Prodigy case. I was very, VERY close to building my first ever PC in one of those cases. Can't remember why I backed out

[@FantasyNero]

OMG! Esther i remember watching her fist time in NCIX channel back in 2011, i shocked after watching this video am so happy she is okay Thank you so much for bring her to your channel Linus, i hope you all have a good day always! 🤗

[@DylRicho]

Esther is great. You guys should bring her on more often.

The shot of Plouffe looking up is the gift that keeps on giving

[@Rohirin]

Definitely loved the little sister energy and shenanigans.

[@TSRB87]

I still use a prodigy case its heavily modified with windows on both sides with mesh in the cut outs. The gpu window its widened and extended to fit 3 slot cards. I/O and power was moved to the front panel and the inside has an enclosed power supply basement now . Fits a 240 aio and a 140mm fan in the back no problem. It sits on my left side so I can see the mobo side and looks awesome. Bitfenix Prodigy is still one of my favorite cases because of its horizontal layout

[@TomBresson]

I had that Bitfenix case. The rubberized coating on the various parts (buttons, "handle", feet, etc) was a horrible choice for longevity. It got sticky and gross, like all rubberized coatings do. Removed all of it with a solvent. Much better.

Something I've noticed about refresh rate: people mostly don't notice the difference going from a low refresh rate to a higher one, but if they have to go back to a lower one, they notice right away.

[@BringMayFlowers]

I notice instantly, even going from 60 to 75 Hz. That's why I stick with CRTs -- high refresh rates, no sample-and-hold, and better colorspace. Plus, resolution independence so going from, say, a 1600x1200 desktop to a 1024x768 game to get a nice 120 Hz refresh and better framerates on, say, an RX 570 or, in the future, an RX 6600 or 6700.

[@SecretSauceyjuice]

100%. It's one of those things where all of a sudden certain stuff just gets easier and less taxing on your eyes/brain. Even if the untrained eye can't perceive exactly why.

[@mcmystix]

i went from 60 to 144 and it was greatest

[@justurboi3806]

@@mcmystix same, also an asus monitor. I recommend them honestly

[@eDoc2020]

​@@BringMayFlowers I mean on CRTs the refresh rate matters but that's different from the frame rate. I have a problem with 60Hz PC CRTs but even though I refresh at 120Hz when gaming the 30fps from my Voodoo seems perfectly smooth to me. 60fps on a half-decent LCD looks smoother than real life.

[@eynon1579]

Funnily enough, I was looking to build almost this exact same computer yesterday. Great and entertaining vid!

[@gimmickmusic8827]

I genuinely love the family content. Edit: I mean, Crucial’s SATA SSDs are really reliable too, so I feel like they are an excellent choice for this build.

[@Fockstedt]

It was great seeing Esther on camera again after all these years. And the family dynamic is great!

[@Endorion_YTC]

I've been smiling so much throughout this entire video, I loved this family time interaction.
