"I troubleshooted it for about two hours. I fixed it by blowing compressed air on it, I have no clue why it works now." You just succinctly summed up my entire line of work.

[@SteelPhoenix3]

Ah a fellow RWBY fan, you hyped for the new anime?

[@Moshthun]

I had a PC that would just crash every few hours. The temps read 60°C, it would not have any warning, just at a certain point, keyboard and mouse would stop working, and it would still output video for a minute, then shut itself off. Tried lots of stuff, RAM change, mobo replacement, PSU change, bios updates, changing bios settings regarding clocking, CPU updates, name it. The problem persisted. One day, I just hosed it down with compressed air, and then it ran for a week without any issue. Guess the machine spirit just wanted some fresh air.

@@Moshthun Mayhaps your recitation of the litany of processor cooling lacked the appropriate sanctified oils and incense. The machine spirit of the cogitator needed the appeasement of holy air to calm it. The Omnissiah guided your hand that day.

One of the greatest projects I've seen on LTT. This build is pushing the limits, but not the 16 4K displays or petabyte project limits, but the limits a regular everyday consumer could have in a workstation. It's so Initial D not just in the design, but in its energy and philosophy - pushing your everyday workhorse machine to its absolute limits, outrunning everything expensive, flashy and conventionally fast. The computer just screams of love and dedication its creator have put into it. It just needs a speed test to make the other builds bite the dust. There are few things I've seen on LTT that I've craved more than this. I haven't felt this way about a computer in a loooong time.

Go Bunta! Initial D is one of the 90's greats for the anime world. The Toyota AE86 Trueno was considered an obsolete car during the era of Takumi and Bunta's racing story. The chassis was actually one of the amazing parts of this car, along with the heavier weight for downhill drift racing in Japan. Throughout the series they face some challenges, and the car goes through different upgrades to combat the competition. Awesome theme, team! Definitely fits the bill. :) Go SPACE BOY!

I've been rocking an external radiator for more than a few years now and swapping round the direction of the fans has become a marker of the changing seasons. With them blowing towards you you get the nice warm air, which is perfect in winter. And, with them blowing away you get a nice cooling breeze, perfect for summer.

[@grn1]

I'll have to keep external radiators in mind when I finally get a house (markets terrible right now) and a new desk (not enough space right now for what I want). My biggest concern is noise, I have a Fractal Design Define 7 case specifically because I wanted a quieter build while still getting good performance.

Matter of fact, I have HUGE Mac CRT monitor 21ish" Thats a cool purple-y color. It'd be some work, but an interesting case fo sho.

[@aladdin8623]

Instead of going on to build x86 hardware for decades, it is really about time to change the cpu ISA to a fresher layout without dragged along stones of outdated tech. There is ARM and RISC-V which promise a higher performance per watt without the need of heavy water cooling in the first place. Hopefully things will change, when apple would build a new gaming console and hopefully without their proprietary metal api. PS: All that heated PC just to run Forza Horizon 5, which also runs perfectly on a steam deck, which is also usable as a desktop PC.

[@elcajondavid1]

The great thing about Linus: he really understands each individual's unique Talent; he doesn't become openly belligerent when realizing his employees are not as knowledgeable as he is; instead, Linus seeks to correct and admonish his staff "off-camera" whilst giving them the ability to receive "full credit" for the work he does on each build.

I think one of my favorite things in these types of videos is seeing Linus' reaction to work done by the he team. You can tell he's genuinely proud of them and shows enthusiasm not just for the camera but for his employees effort. Even when something is asmiss, it's just a slight jab and for fun and quickly moving on. I'm guessing these are done in minimal takes so it's genuine and I think that shows.

@@TH3C001 lol. It was early 2000's and using old parts I had laying around. So it was probably a Pentium 3. The case was a basic beige box that I cut a hole in the side for an acrylic window. Painted the shell gloss white with satin black racing stripes. Airbrushed a hand cut stencil of a Chevelle logo on the other side. And of course I had to add white cold-cathode light tubes to the inside. Their dad actually still had it stashed away until about a month ago when he was getting ready to move. I wish I still had pictures of it.

[@TH3C001]

@@Ferrariferg that still sounds awesome. One day I'll probably have a computer worth the time and effort, component-wise. I know exactly what I'd want for a GMT400 themed PC, I just wouldn't know how to incorporate the looks of a C/K1500, maybe logos and badging, but I'd want to go further and make it look like a piece of the truck, maybe like style the front panel to look like a grille lol.

[@Ferrariferg]

@@TH3C001 That'd be awesome. Maybe get some actual badges. Funny enough I was helping my friend look for a gmt400 earlier today. Lol.

[@TH3C001]

@@Ferrariferg I may get closer to that dream build after all. Just impulse bought a Ryzen 7 5700X (it is launch day after all lol). 5700X, 5.7 liter Vortec. 8 cores, 8 cylinders, that CPU is the true center piece to make the theme work for me just for those similarities lol. I'm thinking of making a case that looks like the front section of the truck like if you sliced the front end off at the windshield cowl, and the side panel would be the hood. Might work better to build it as a horizontal desktop PC than a vertical tower, but for now it remains a dream to do that much detail, maybe it's closer to reality now though lol.

Sleeper PC series are some of the best content you guys put out, amazing video. Alex & Nick did an insanely good job 👍

[@mat9198]

love this video! great work building

[@justinpope5958]

This type of content is what i wanna see! awesome video.

[@JJH493]

This is such a great duo! Compliment each other’s personality and style in such a funny way.

[@leethax100]

I think it was just cheaper to use backstock fill bottles than normal infill for the packaging.

[@W1ldTangent]

Funny either way lol

[@happytomato3469]

i love this segment at 20:50 so much! , just cherry on top of the cake!

[@jdcatabas2260]

Retro VAIO cases have always been my favorite when it came to sleeper battlestations.

[@shaneofcanada7042]

I love watching Linus plead with people he hired, at the company he owns, to get his way... and still not get his way.

[@bobberry1463]

I think linus mention that he had to pull the boss card twice, I wanted to see that.

[@sbilalx]

I felt so nostalgic as i have an almost 20 year old pc lying in the house, like this, although old and useless the case is nearly the same as the one in the video. Great video too btw.

[@GrumpyTy34er]

21:06 I love the random air bubble in the GPU block

[@pandacat17]

ahahaha ive just found this and love the initial d theme. anthony's cutaway was spot on and big ups to the others for trying

[@mcmada109]

6:39 All that precise equipment, super shiny backplate, 2 shitty uncentered holes.

[@TheTechAdmin]

Anyone else remember the Initial D arcade game, where you'd get your own custom ID card that saved all of your game/car data? Back then, an arcade game that gave you an ID card for game data was badass and new.

[@MTech-ss9yo]

Yeah i grow up playing arcade stage in my local mall but it can't accept cards now because someone throw a water on the reader so i play on pc or play wangan midnight.

[@TheTechAdmin]

@@MTech-ss9yo Yeah... kids... Back in the mid 90s to early 2000's, we all hung out at "too much is not enough" in NYC (The club was featured in the movie Hackers.) It was like an arcade meets skate park meets bowling alley style cafe. I touched my first boobs there!!! Hahaha

[@MrTotenks]

I had a mini wallet to hold my cards for Initial D/Maximum Tune/Tekken 5 😂. Good times!

[@CtrlAltRetreat]

Put a lot of coins in at South Hills Golfland back in the day. Sometimes the line of tokens on the fighting games was so long you knew you could get in a couple races before you were up.

[@TheTechAdmin]

@@MrTotenks lol

[@felentus]

After rewatching this, this is definitely my most favourite PC LTT built so far.

[@Carnage8]

absolutely love the sleepers as usual

[@Neoxon619]

It’s been a while since we got a sleeper PC, especially one as unorthodox is this where the radiator is under the table. But hey, I’m all here for.

[@xXEchoXxAssault]

I'm still learning Japanese and my Katakana is a little rusty, but that edging on the panel is pretty funny ☺️ (Should have expected that by now)

[@CobaltFoxPlays]

Well, they always fit it in every video

[@mirumizure]

Expected, but still made me chuckle

[@AS-dx3kw]

very good taste. Wonderful design inside and out!

[@snithfferx]

holly molly is the "hachuroku" awesome... nice paint job.

[@LegendaryGodKing]

20:56 my favorite part is Anthony's version of how they always talk on initial D!

[@papathunderbird5042]

Can it be called a sleeper if there are RGB fans under the desk, showing you that there's more than what meets the eye to it?

[@affectedrl5327]

I mean you can always turn them off right?

[@Vel_Plays_2.0]

A third leg.

[@yeetusdelete0]

@@Asatora its not a sleeper when a supercharger block is coming out of the bonnet

[@YerBrwnDogAteMyRabit]

You can hide NOS bottles and I've seen turbos mounted UNDER the car, so hide the fans and it's nighty-night.

[@BradTech.]

I wouldn't think so myself 🤷‍♂️ no...

[@myholmiestreams9287]

The anime eurobeat dialogue made the whole video for me, love you guys so much lol

[@andres154525452]

This is one of the best pcs you guys have build.

[@chrishoward6864]

The new intro change is actually nice, I don’t want the animation to go away but I did often find myself skipping it, seems like a good 2 second alternative
