Reacting to our Best PC Builds Ever

[@hannah.]

A collection of all the worst drops needs to be next

[@dylswerb7492]

My first thought when I saw the title was "This is going to be great, but the worst builds has got to be even better"

[@MaverickDriver95]

I'm really good at dropping things - reacting to our worst drops

[@reesejohnson58]

I’d say that is a good idea, but the video would be too long for KZbin

[@nicholasjenkins864]

Yes!!!

[@Ash_1277]

Agree Agree Agree!!!

[@cortesacrawford]

Luke's build videos were amazing. They had this relatability that LTT has lost overtime. Like Alex's videos still have the chaos and the jank, but it's using tools most of us will never even seen in person. Luke was your homie in his garage running on no sleep and energy drinks doing what he can with a pile of scraps. The energy in those vids was perfect.

[@theWheezle]

Yeah. Most of us don't have access to a laser cutter or 3d printer, much less a Tormach cnc milling machine.

[@bk_bergerz]

honestly i appreciate the care and attention that Luke paid to those old projects even if they weren't as "professional". gave them character.

[@SippyCup_Official]

All of Luke’s builds are 11/10. 1: Luke is the reason I got into pc building. 2: Luke’s designs inspired me to make my own themed pcs 3: Luke is still the only reason I’m subscribed to ltt. Thanks Luke!

I'm so glad "Slick"'s mineral oil rig reboot from Langley made it into the honorable mentions. That was one of the videos that really sold me on this channel back in the day. Crazy to think it's been 9 years.

This feels like the beginning of an amazing series. I would love to just watch LTT staff sit around and talk about their old videos. The memories and the nostalgia would be amazing to watch and relive as a fan. Thanks for the fun videos you all!

Another Nerd Forge build would be AWESOME.

The sheer talent and hard work that Martina and Hansi put into the cyberpunk build is so out of this world.

[@ShankMods]

The Xbox build is still to this day one of my favorite PC builds. I loved that build and video. It was a big inspiration for my hot wheels PC build/video

[@lukebrown2674]

The spiffing brit pc was the best for me. Just so much detail and great execution

[@Deja117]

As a Britain. I agree. I suddenly have the urge for a nice cup of tea now.

[@TheAechBomb]

​@@Deja117do not drink the PC coolant

[@baconwizard]

As the whole of Britannia, i also agree@@Deja117

[@Ricciolo-oj1nc]

It was a really simple and clean build, perfectly balanced with the right ammount of lore

[@potatosordfighter666]

Watching the tea flow out of the spout and foam on the GPU was just next level too.

[@Ricciolo-oj1nc]

The pc for the Spiffing Brit was really good and the tea coming from the teapot int the tube gave me an idea, what about creating a laminar flow tube inside the pc, it would have been cool seeing the pot pouring liquid in a cup in the pc? It would be the collest way to show fluid flowing in a zen themed pc or something like that. Obviusly it would need to use mineral oil or something like that to avoid evaporation, accidental spalshings and in to make the laminar flow form faster with less turbollence, but it would be cool, challenging and unique...

[@SamuTheFrog]

Linus being so chill about the resume fraud duo kills me lmao

[@sonicmoth8340]

"fake" and "fluke" was great

[@uzetaab]

That's because they have proved themselves to be highly competent.

[@cortesacrawford]

@@uzetaab Agreed. I imagine there's other resume liars over the years that we don't know about because they were incompetent and got fired during their probation period.

[@sen314bot]

@@misternormL If you're talking about Anthony, they are still at LMG. They have since transitioned and are now Emily. She has backed down from being a host to not draw negative attention to LMG and/or their selves since they are semi public figure. Through her own words she is receiving support from LMG and her friends and are unsure of when they will be comfortable in front of a camera again.

[@4RILDIGITAL]

Interesting to see the builds that I had forgotten. Great walk down memory lane, and the community's ranking is quite on point. It's always fun and enlightening to see how much we have evolved in terms of modding capabilities.

[@alexonyootewb]

"You made a stencil and it still looked like that". That got me. Jake has 10/10 putdowns. Savage. When are he and Alex getting to lead on a car channel again?

[@glittalogik]

I'd bet good money that even when Jake's being super nice and polite, there's a little subroutine running 24/7 in the back of his brain, constantly generating this calibre of sass for its own amusement. I'm just grateful that he gets to let it off the leash for our entertainment 🥰

[@raynjpg]

They said they'll probably never do an actual car channel.

[@nox-s8o]

My personal favorite was MBX MK II, loved the story behind and everything it stands for

[@MikeWood]

Nerd Forge! 11:22 They don't half ass around when it comes to builds of anything. :)

[@Timi7007]

The smack talk and segues in this one are hilarious! Linus, Luke and Jake make a fantastic combo!

[@zedbrassica8630]

My two favorite types of videos over the years; sleeper builds and most of your server/networking videos.

[@JeremyJohnson-j2o]

Love the bong chiller, built one myself back in early 2000's after reading on forums about them. Mine was super ghetto, but worked great! Using 2 water blocks I built from scratch using 2"x2"x1" solid copper blocks that I drilled out on a drill press, then filled in with jb weld, and screwed some barbed fittings into. With nothing other than a via aqua 1300 pump, and hardware store 1/2" id tubing went through about 3/4 of a gallon of water DAILY through evaporation, and left tons of residue in my system due to my using sink water.

[@AdelaideLasher]

I think Luke's builds are so cool because they maintain the air of a spectacle, while being achievable for most people to get done for the price range of some rocks to ~200 dollars of 3D printing, and they have a spectacle of their own that THEY built.

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

Luke is looking good lately, thinned down, no homeless beard, and a good haircut...glad you included him too, hes such an OG and always fun

[@BlitzRazor]

Nerdforge build definitely deserves the top spot for the best PC build. I love that a lot more than the rest of em

[@anton4video]

Nerdforge underwater pc would be fun to see. Really hope you do another collaboration with Nerdforge.

[@bryce2113]

The cyberpunk (Nerdforge) PC or Karl's desk PC are definitely top 3, they were beyond epic and overkill. Absolutely beautiful too. Multiple gamers builds were really cool, just not as beautiful.

[@hamzasaeed918]

[@eldukedrino]

dude.. how did i forget about the fall out pc?? that was really cool! you guys have been on "the air" for so many years now, you need a wiki with a comprehensive index!

[@anthonycorbin3817]

11:21 I was about to comment and say that there's a youtuber named nerdforge who's artistic ability is unrivaled when it comes to detailed miniature structures. Then, surely enough, it was with her. Honestly, I love to see it. People like her with such a unique ability can truly make the most eloquent things.

[@benwu7980]

The PC was amazing, it was on one of the sets for quite a while and wonder what price it went for.

[@Ale-nv2bo]

That thing really deserves to be exhibited in a museum, it's one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

[@edwardayroso1675]

18:22 this was my fav of all the builds, because I'm into sleeper builds, looks crappy on the outside but performs powerful on the inside

[@justalpha2396]

Surprised the Play Button and NCIX sign PC weren't here or even mentioned

[@westleyvanzant]

I loved the bioluminescent pc personally, even though it wasn’t flashy it was still so sick

[@TheRealWoofer]

I agree with all of these, and I love Luke's roasting of Linus when necessary, in defense of his gem PC 😂

[@TheStrategyWargamer]

I don’t know if this has been done before but what about a PC build that acts as a heater. So for those who live in frosty environments the more you game the warmer / cozier it gets?

[@FarmerEnvoyXtreme]

would love to see an update version of that Fallout PC

[@lucasrem]

Pizza heater ?

[@woo545]

Definitely need more Nerdforge Collabs. Here's a couple other ideas: a dustless PC. I recently saw a video where someone built a cyclone dust filter for woodworking. Another option would be a "fanless" build that uses a Dyson fan as an intake.

19:25 - actual cooling tower :D still used in bigger buildings (though, with added chillers) to supply chilled water to ACs in spaces where EXACT temperature is crucial.

I can not possibly be the only one who really likes how Linus looks with longer messy hair! Like, surely Jake and Luke are the odd ones out here? No?

Glad to know I'm not the only one who remembered that phase change chiller PC. Shit was sick back when I was in high school.

6:59 sleeper build 😒 sleeper build, japan 😍

[@Witch_The_Snep]

I’ve used my pc to warm pizza while playing sea of thieves. My bottom 3 fans are set for exhaust. Top 3 are intake. 13900k + 4080 warms up a slice rather quick. Definitely interested to see how a full pie does

[@Josh_FSD]

I love that mineral oil pc, I remember when you put that video out… Man it’s been a minute huh? I think would have to agree and say that you should build another one!!!!!

[@Josh_FSD]

Maybe build 2 of them, competition style… 2 people on each team, the 4 people I would pick would be Linus, Luke, Alex, and Jake. Draw straws to select the teams, I wouldn’t really want to make a time limit on the build but I would think that the amount of time that was spent building the first Mineral Oil PC should be sufficient, maybe a little longer, and do 2 videos, 1 for each build. Then 1 video comparing them with the 4 of you there to give each other s**t if needed, then have James, Riley, and Dan be the Judges…

[@DizzyBusy]

I really want to see Alex build one of those

[@trulsdirio]

Nerdforge getting the win is what I hoped for and I am mildly surprised this was no troll vote at first place.

[@HazewinDog]

I can't believe I've seen every single one of these... I was going through my Favorites list recently (or I guess it's been simply a playlist called 'Favorites' for many years now), and found out that I actually watched you BEFORE LTT, on NCIX Tech Tips... I have no recollection of that. But then the set in the background of videos from 12 years ago brings back memories, as do your co-hosts, especially the female one. Turns out, some of these videos from well over 10 years ago were added to my favorites on the day they were uploaded. And it's not like KZbin back then would have pushed those to me. Wild. I guess I've known you for almost half my life, though you've probably never even seen my comments before :D What I also didn't know is that you must have helped me build my first PC, back in 2010. Thank you for all you for the community Linus and LMG :)

[@ward0g415]

This is a great list, but two of my favourites are actually missing: the "RGB Everything" and "RGB Water Cooling" PCs. While they're more moderate than the other builds on the list, they were still rather extreme for their time because RGB lighting wasn't as commonplace when those videos were produced. More importantly, those two builds gave me ideas that I used in my own water cooled PC with pretty much everything illuminated with programmable RGB lighting, and after several upgrades I'm still using that as my main gaming PC now.

[@potatoCris]

3:34 idk Y out of context it made me laugh 😂 7:31 alsoo...

[@derekcross8993]

honestly, after seeing "hot rod" like cooler sticking out of the case, i think it would be cool if you guys made a hot rod pc. give it exhaust with airflow, glass panels where the windows and windshield would be, and some flame decals would look sick.

[@lolpartyparrot]

Bearded Linus still isn't catching up to Adolescent Linus 😂

As an HVAC tech, you should have used soft copper for the Copper Tubes build. That would have made your life a lot easier. You used rigid straight pipe, which is very very difficult to bend properly.

[@KatieWilliams1990x]

Linus, would it be possible to get the smallest/lightest PC components you could find and build a flying/hovering DRONE PC? Obviously you'd have to have cables coming out of the Drone PC but it could still fly/hover next to the monitor. It would be absolutely sick and I really do think that it's possible. YT community, PLEASE upvote this to ensure the Linus Tech Tips team see this idea and consider making it!

[@ThisRandomGuyYouDidntNotice]

seeing that creeper and some jank cardboard really should be combined, like the cardboard pc you did but using a aluminum extrusion frame so it's diy friendly *-*

whole room watercooling - while not exactly one system - totally counts. The mineral oil PC was such a crazy thing, loved that one.

[@AcheForWake]

1:08 love the integer number usage

[@qwertymesa]

The bomb case pc, still one of my fav builds on this channel, can still vividly remember the video and being inspired by it to make my own themed pc.

[@Esablaka]

I would love to see more of these "jank" builds. I loved both the amethyst AND the fallout one. Like genuinely. Sure Luke could have executed it better but there is a reason why these builds inspired tons of people to improve and make their own versions. This videos always felt very personal, creative and nice to watch. Really formed a connection with the channel with that. Nowadays you only ever put computers together that your team has assembled ATLEAST once before and it's getting really repetitive this way. Maybe get some guys together and make a competition? Like everyone gets to pick a "theme" (or gets it randomly assigned) and then have a limited time to select from an assortment of items / gets a limited time to order stuff of off amazon. Maybe give em X-Amount of time with one of your product designer to design some 3d parts if they have an idea. Then they built it and get judged on it. Without everything being a "clean" boring, unpersonal video. Maybe even bring back luke for this challenge.
