Never saw the issue of staying long with your parents if there's enough room to be an adult. Close with your family (without still being the kid) should be seen positively. And I moved out last year.
to be fair, living with parents is not a big deal. I do to, I save a fuck ton of money on rent, utilities and power. I can contribute my savings to my parents and help around the house given they are getting older. So in a way it's a win win, minus the whole privacy thing is the only issue lol.
@@chanahasnomana exactly it’s actually quite a logical arrangement, and then once you have enough money saved up to invest in a good place to live, you can move out. There’s rlly no rush, it’s pretty normal most places
Have been paying rent for the last 6 years since i moved out at 18. Not a month goes by i don't wish i took up my mom's offer of living at home and going to a different school
I payed rent for 4 years while going to university. Moved back in with my parents. Best financial decision I've ever made. Even better than investing into crypto after it first "peaked" in 2013. You'll have to pay me a good 250k/year before I consider dropping ~1.5k/month on rent ever again. Even $800/month, not a chance.
Just FYI: the color issues happening in the corner of the CRT are from the magnets in those speakers - you shouldn’t put a CRT that close to unshielded speakers, not only will it mess with the image but given enough time it will ruin the TV.
Out of all the tech upgrades I've watched this one is by far my favorite setup. Clean and utilitarian. Each spot has a purpose while optimizing the space to the best of its capabilities.
The dominator ram has leds on it while the other doesn't so even if the mounting is the same and both sticks have same chips on the same positions so the heatspreder fits perfectly you still cant power the leds on the dominator ram so i dont think its worth swapping them even if its it's possible.

Half expected to see Melee set up. My brother's a competitive smash player and has told me that the Trinitrons are basically the best monitor/tv for competitive play on a retro console. In most cases the output for an old console is going to be analog and most HDMI mods work after the system has already converted it's digital signals to HDMI. As a result using HDMI on an older console almost always introduces more lag than using a decent quality CRT with analog connections (even if a modern monitor has analog inputs it still has to convert to digital then display it). Trinitrons in particular are good because they are sharper and faster than other CRT technologies (Sony invented Trinitron but licensed it to a few other manufactures as well). With the PS2 there is an alternative option that may be just as fast if not faster (I've not seen it tested) with a newer mod that has to be soldered onto the PS2s motherboard. I don't remember the name of the mod off hand (MVG did a video on it) but what it does is it takes the internal digital signals created by the PS2 and directly converts them to HDMI which results in a much better conversion. Since it's not converting to analog first then back like other HDMI mods it may be just as fast as using an analog cable/CRT.
he should get that speaker further away from the tube. He is magnetizing the Aperture grill causing the discoloration. He is going to have permanent damage, and going to need to degauss it if he doesn't move those speakers.

i could see myself having a room a lot like that with tons of old consoles and comfy seating all around to get friends together to play games and stuff. by far my favorite room in any of these intel upgrade videos

This is crazy cause it's SO similar to my own setup, even down to the PC cases. I love it. I just have my server/render rig in the H440 and my main rig in the Meshify. Also using a janky splitter for capture purposes. Big fan of this one, makes me feel understood. XD
I’ve been running my PS2 via FMCB and a 1TB internal HDD for about a year now. Works great, and looks great using components to a CRT tv. Definitely the way to go if you want to play PS2 on original hardware.

Accounts for all the space, the hardware is top tier without killing the budget (because he already had great hardware beforehand) and all the extra equipment to allow retro gaming without the headache of swapping out or reconnecting.

Hi Linus, I have watching your shows since you were little with NCIX. I am in Tanzania, Africa. Please prepare challenges for this part of the world. You made me love technology. I am a lawyer by profession but i have been working in the IT sector as i have experience and passion.
I keep my old LCD TV that is ony 720p just for my ps2, even though I keep it in the closet since I got ps4, no place to keep two consoles under neath it.
HDLoader kicked so much ass. Even with an old HDD, the improvement in load times was awesome, not to mention the convenience of having your entire collection selectable from a menu.
I liked how the camera captured the diference in speed of the monitors, the horizontal is smooth while the vertical is flickering a bit because of the shutter speed.
Looking back on this as I’ve just bought a bed for myself, really benefits to go metal frame with a high weight limit to prevent having to worry about breaking it

@@c8k5 I third!
I fourth!
I fifth
@@c8k5 you,ixaiaazakazaka,
This was my favorite of the upgrades so far. Really enjoyed his setup
Awesome... ps2 with the CRT ! 👌
First comment baby
Half expected to see Melee set up. My brother's a competitive smash player and has told me that the Trinitrons are basically the best monitor/tv for competitive play on a retro console. In most cases the output for an old console is going to be analog and most HDMI mods work after the system has already converted it's digital signals to HDMI. As a result using HDMI on an older console almost always introduces more lag than using a decent quality CRT with analog connections (even if a modern monitor has analog inputs it still has to convert to digital then display it). Trinitrons in particular are good because they are sharper and faster than other CRT technologies (Sony invented Trinitron but licensed it to a few other manufactures as well). With the PS2 there is an alternative option that may be just as fast if not faster (I've not seen it tested) with a newer mod that has to be soldered onto the PS2s motherboard. I don't remember the name of the mod off hand (MVG did a video on it) but what it does is it takes the internal digital signals created by the PS2 and directly converts them to HDMI which results in a much better conversion. Since it's not converting to analog first then back like other HDMI mods it may be just as fast as using an analog cable/CRT.
rip trinitron though
🥵😩
he should get that speaker further away from the tube.
He is magnetizing the Aperture grill causing the discoloration. He is going to have permanent damage, and going to need to degauss it if he doesn't move those speakers.
"don't need more than 16GB in your gaming rig"
My modded Cities: Skylines game would like to have a chat with you.
35 fps on 3080 :'(
@@Reditold I really wish that game would be optimized better for newer hardware. I have a 2080 Super and I get like 30 FPS once I get past 100k citizens. My most recent game file that I've been working on peaks at 28GB of RAM while loading up. I have 32GB in my system and it's the only time I've ever worried about not having enough RAM
Oh yes
@@himbourbanist so a ryzen 5 with integrated graphics wouldn’t like the game
@@CursedSouthwest Honestly, the game isn't super GPU heavy to begin with. A Ryzen 5 might actually be decent if you turn the texture resolution down in the settings. I say give it a try anyway
Linus: Always bashes on Intel
Intel: Here is $5000 for each of your employee.
He’s only bashed intel the last twoish years. And that was for good reason. He’s a huge intel fan lol. He’s even said it.
@@RiceCubeTech true I also solely rely on intel cuz of integrated graphics (too broke to buy dedicated graphics)
Linu$ $£bastian :)
I mean you can like something and still call out its flaws
I still remember how surprised I was when he announced the project on WAN show
every time i watch this series, i always wonder why they went for Intel. Then Linus always reminded me that it was sponsored by Intel
But for a fact that david and chase has a rig with an amd cpu
"At least I don't have to paint the wall"
It's the little victories that count eh?
This is the coolest setup I've seen in this series I think, so practical gamer-wise, I doubt it could get much better than that.
I would've personally put the upgraded system inside the Meshify 2, given how much airflow and higher quality the case is. But I can see why Chase would like the customized NZXT case.
also the nzxt case is really quite for the amount of airflow it dose have.
I have a stickerbombed corsair case that I was really unwilling to take my rig out of, but I was having too many space issues and needed to lol.
it a pain in the ass mounting gpu in that h440 case and the screws are shit, coming from a h440 and went to a lian li 2
Like Chase, I ❤ my H440 w/ 6850 & SLI 1070s - plenty airflow, lotsa drives.
2:19 Oh man, my heart skipped a beat when I thought they were going to get rid of that CRT!
This was one of the best by far! Great use of the budget, knew exactly how to make his own personal experience better.
And Linus only broke 1 thing, well, on camera I guess, LOL.
By far the sickest gamer hovel ever. Incredible. So jealous
"how about i hold the monitor and you screw it in?" He knows Linus all to well.
Chase has got one of the cleanest setups yet imo
yup. i really like this setup.
Would love to see Chase in more videos. He and Linus have some pretty good on screen banter.
i could see myself having a room a lot like that with tons of old consoles and comfy seating all around to get friends together to play games and stuff. by far my favorite room in any of these intel upgrade videos
this turned out SO awesome. What a big difference it makes when someone actually knows what he wants and just takes it up all the levels he can.
Exactly, no dumb chinese shoulder massage machine crap, this dude was ready !
I can just imagine Chase sweating everytime he sees Linus trying to jam something into the pc 😂
Is sanding really fun?
I took engineering in school and yep we did a lot of sanding of wood
I love the phrase "basic vengeance lpx" shows how we set the bar as enthusiasts
Out of all the Extreme Tech Upgrades so far this is definitely my favorite. It has everything I would want. So good! :)
I love how linus comes into other people's homes and they have to wear the mask
That's because Linus is the new home owner the moment he walks in
lol i noticed that too. I guess "the talent" gets preference.
im not sure you understand the concept of the mask.
It’s company policy. They wear masks when within 6 feet of each other.
they dont want virus in new computer, its simple
I’ve been rewatching the other $5,000 set ups all morning and this magically pops up. It was a sign!😂
good for you bud! 🥳
Probably one that you should fix that awful fucking haircut, holy shit. What an atrocity.
Bro same situation here what a coincidence
@@VaydaladaVodalada I got dyslexia half way reading ur name bro shut up
My favorite thing is I’ve never bragging about not being able to fucking read. Anime losers stay undefeated.
The cut to Linus on the floor and Andy laughing shows that he either forgot about breaking his bed, or he was hoping everyone else did.
Watching this series while in the process of buying a house is definitely giving me some ideas of how I can set up stuff better at my new house.
Imagine if they did one for Madison, would be pretty funny considering he built her setup a couple years ago.
I'm not suggesting they do her one as that wouldn't make sense though.
I hope they do one for madison
She would be at the last though considering she is relatively new at lmg
@@purnasaimadala No idea how they pick who to do a makeover for, considering Chase is a _relatively_ new member of staff, and it's not like they've done all the OGs yet.
@@ajaxxx_ the other interesting person would be Johnathan the Mac guy
@@ajaxxx_ I think chase has been around for over a year or two already.
Me at an ltt interview:
Linus:Why do you wanna work for the company
Me: For Intel Extreme upgrade.. i mean because I love ur videos 😅
And "free" stuff from the office
@@maledetto1221 lmao 🤣
This, Scrapyard wars, and Mystery shopper are the best series on LTT
Raptors fell off
I like the Sh!t manufacturers says too
This is crazy cause it's SO similar to my own setup, even down to the PC cases. I love it. I just have my server/render rig in the H440 and my main rig in the Meshify. Also using a janky splitter for capture purposes. Big fan of this one, makes me feel understood. XD
"it's amazing how many things we give away without me knowing about them."🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is probably my favourite so far, I'd love the space for all this.
19:40 I like how they're leveling it over the cables.
I am glad they figured out those speakers weren't shielded and was affecting the image on the CRT.
I’ve been running my PS2 via FMCB and a 1TB internal HDD for about a year now. Works great, and looks great using components to a CRT tv. Definitely the way to go if you want to play PS2 on original hardware.
"To give you credit, I didn't laugh at any of the others so far" WHY ISN'T CHASE HOSTING TECH LINKED!?!
He would be way better than Riley or the other one....
@@Dori744 I prefer a variety, everyone brings something special to the table.
@@copyjockeynk Agreed. Riley is my favorite host for that channel but everyone is great.
@@LordLiquidBaconII Riley is the worst host LMG got.
Before I watch a Riley video, I would watch Luke birds for 3 hours straight.
Honestly I think this is probably the most pragmatic build from this series. Accounts for all the space, the hardware is top tier without killing the budget (because he already had great hardware beforehand) and all the extra equipment to allow retro gaming without the headache of swapping out or reconnecting. This shit was clean af
Hi Linus, I have watching your shows since you were little with NCIX. I am in Tanzania, Africa. Please prepare challenges for this part of the world. You made me love technology. I am a lawyer by profession but i have been working in the IT sector as i have experience and passion.
Chase knows his stuff, that McBoot is going to be used pretty good with all the "totally legally obtained" PS2 games. I hope that TV has component.
trinitrons do have component
What's better than a CRT + PS2 with McBoot? a CRT + PS2 with McBoot and an HDD to have quick access to tons of games
I keep my old LCD TV that is ony 720p just for my ps2, even though I keep it in the closet since I got ps4, no place to keep two consoles under neath it.
HDLoader kicked so much ass. Even with an old HDD, the improvement in load times was awesome, not to mention the convenience of having your entire collection selectable from a menu.
@@bigdoggo5827 mine is slim line and has to stick with the damn usb 1.1 slot
The retro stuff makes this my favorite upgrade so far
This is more of the Tech Upgrade I was expecting when I started watching this series lol.
I liked how the camera captured the diference in speed of the monitors, the horizontal is smooth while the vertical is flickering a bit because of the shutter speed.
Chase is so chill. His voice is so calm that is it contagiously calming lol.
This is literally one of my dream setups.
Same, on that aspect this episode was the best IMO
The finished setup here was probably one of my favorite in the series so far
One of my favourite upgrades
This is my favorite upgrade yet. Great choices also he should be in more videos. He is good at communicating to an audience.
This series is entirely about finding everything stolen out of the office.
I need to work at linus just for stealing.
in 2050
linus:- oh so you took this house ownership from office .
chase : I have the receipt.
Looking back on this as I’ve just bought a bed for myself, really benefits to go metal frame with a high weight limit to prevent having to worry about breaking it
This is my favorite series, glad to see it pushing foward.

Chase has, hands down, the best setup from this series.
Definitely better than James’s one for instance. That one was so boring.
I like how simple this upgrade is and yet everything was indeed upgraded quite a bit.
