Ok. That was a british build, so they used some british tea sachets and all, but since tea was used as coolant, i would make it with lemon (still more sinfull i know, specially after a week or so) Also, i think the tea brew as in arabic coffee (with the tea ground left in the bottom) would serve a strong and bodied flavour to the ocasion, specially if it was south american black mate - just a personal preference: a strong 12h infused full bodied black mate brew with Lemon is AWESOME for cool at an almost 40C day like we are having here in the south of equator line now, so as for cold 10C nights in the winter to warm the throat!
you could probably run the tea through 0.1 or 0.2 micrometer filter if you still wanna run tea as your fluid and make it less likely to clog the heat block fins
Here's a pro tip if you want to get rid of micro particles: use a sterile vacuum filtration unit. They are sold mainly for biology applications and will filter things down to 0.2um, which is more than enough for something like tea. It will also sterilize the fluid which is always a plus when trying to avoid things growing in your cooling loop.
Probably way cheaper and still get you close enough would be to use a fritted glass filter funnel, pull the tea through work a vacuum pump, then boil it to keep from having growth, or to stop the growth you'll often see like some % v/v acetonitrile in water used, but that would likely attack the consumer grade plastics in the loop, most plastics for use with organic solvents are like polypropylene or PTFE (teflon or polytetrafluoroethylene) and I don't think those are very common in transparent consumer grade products because they tend to be translucent at best
Yea, coffee filters isn't all that good at removing particulates. Good enough for coffee can still look cloudy A-F. I made a Christmas schnaps some years ago that got incredibly cloudy. Only thing I had was coffee filters and I must have ran that through the filters at least ten times before it started to look decently clear. After the first three times I thought there were no way it would work. But I got there eventually. Still it was far from optimal. The result however tasted just as intended. Won me a competition for the third year running, disqualifying me from competing again...
For future reference on drilling through ceramic for a nice clean hole, first drill a hole of required size into a piece of wood then tape this in place on your pot, fix the pot to a table pref using clamps and cloth/bubble wrap to get a firm grip without cracking the pot. Drill in using water (someone can just pour a jug slowly for you) start at a slow speed increasing pressure gently and power slowly until you feel the drill bit "grip" keep this same consistent pressure until through for a nice clean hole. I was a tiler for over 20 years so this is my contribution to PC building lol!
Just so you know, Yorkshire gold and Yorkshire Red (regular) are like night and day. Yes Yorkshire Gold is 3x the price but its almost impossible to go back to regular after tasting that blend. Its how they get you hooked.
Sharkbite fittings have been a thing for so long in the plumbing industry I've always wondered why it had to be so much more complicated and expensive for the PC world

absolute brilliant idea. If for some reason you can resist the temptation of yorkshire tea and let it go cold, you can just pour it into the cooling system, play modded Skyrim for 6 second and it is boiling hot again
They should build one for him, but load it with bloatware and other things to slow it down by a staggering amount so that he can fix it and get the traffic up to 90% It should also be in the shape of a round-about somehow.
this build ...I am Just amazed at this one. most people would of thought tea no problem and would of used food coloring to get the brown color but you guys thought of everything to do to make this work and to that my hat is off to you guys. Alex you are a genius that is all i can say. as always i loved this one one of the top 3 so far
The inside of that cable panel is hilarious. The only thing more offensive you could have done is written a message about how coffee is superior to tea. That would _really_ annoy Spiff.
That PC is fantastic! I love the attention to details throughout it with the fittings, the watermark panel, and actually having a teapot in it. It's awesome to see how much farther you can push the builds with so many people on staff even when they're not specifically on the project. Having a few of the other LTT staff add a bit of their time and experience with things like the painting, the etching, and the 3D modeling really brought it up another notch!
Overclockers UK just did a video on this pc and the mold it grew over time. Also the pc never worked after it was shipped due to shipping damage and mold. They also did the brown coolant
I died at 20:50 xD Absolutely love the whole project and all the little touches you fit in. Sure the teapot is in the spotlight, but the painting, both sides of the cable panel, and obviously the tube fittings really top it up to perfection.
I'm not even Irish, but I see justice in this idea 😂 Although realistically, maybe go for something less extreme? Like wood finish PC case interior/exterior? Or maybe some sort of grass/clover closed (in glass) planter on top of PC case? Or even just plants in resin to keep case tidy.
They should have put a heat exchanger into it for brewing tea, like an overcomplicated electric kettle, that would actually be useful and still be a total meme. Tea as coolant is going to have stuff growing in it and clog the microfins in the cooling blocks. Keep the cooling loop as a normal loop, but instead of a normal radiator, have it dump heat into a heat exchanger that heats water and drips the hot water into tea, maybe kinda like a drip coffee brewer. The harder you game, the faster it heats water to brew tea, and then you chug the tea for your caffeine fix so you can game even harder, repeat to infinity.
temperatures wise you need a smidge under boiling for brewing temp, not great for computers. But they could've put in a warming plate maybe? I just hope they swapped out the tea for brown dye.
except for that tea is going to rot and clog up that loop. I have left tea in a bottle forgotten for a few days and it did not do well. And the temperature will just breed mold like crazy. It will basically be a kombucha PC.

Irish need to drop that chip on their shoulder and stop playing the victims. It's both boring and untrue.
My wife is Cumbrian and I spent 8 years in the UK - when Linus mentioned doing this PC I told him there was one requirement we absolutely had to follow: Yorkshire Tea
@@MajorSkrewup Do ultrasonic cleaners not work on vaseline? I'd be shocked if they didn't have an ultrasonic big enough to dunk a motherboard, and as soon as he mentioned cleaning out the socket I assumed that's how they did it.
Haha, i was the same. I was like "Wait! Why the hell do you have a hand from IKEA? Who buys a hand from IKEA and why does IKEA even sell a hand? What is going on here?"
@20:50 and @22:14 Inside the PC Back panel - Irish Republic Flag with the slogan : "British Landlords and the Royal Family are responsible for the potato famine".... LOL Linus trying to hold back the laughter too! Nice easter egg hahaha😅
Now I got a maddening idea. You know when you're sitting with your desktop and drinking your tea/coffee and it slowly starts to get cold? How about a PC that uses watercooling to heat your mug or at least keep it warm? Should not be that complicated. A big piece of aluminium/copper with a water chamber inside that the water goes through before going to the fans.
It really depends on the makeup of tea. I don't know enough about it to know how much of the colouring compounds come from water soluble chemicals contra suspended particles. If it's mostly suspended particles then you'll see a sedimentation process in zones of the loop with significant pressure drop (mostly the reservoir I'd guess?) and the colour will fade. Add to that potential microbacterial attack or off reactions between loop components and compounds in tea (I'd be afraid of the tannins personally). You might also see some permanent staining of the tubes from said tannins. If most of it is from water soluble compounds well it should? stay in there, maybe still staining the tubes. Even with my limited knowledge of chemistry this... well honestly seems like an out and out terrible idea x) but I think LTT knows that.
I love how absolutely frantic Linus was in that first minute of intro. As if he's thinking, "I can't believe I'm about to do this shit please send help."
Can the lab PLEASE run a cheese spawning benchmark and include it in their analyses? I know it’s not a real metric but I laughed harder at “can’t even do 2,000 cheeses” than anything else this week 😂
no you are mistaken. tea has the same properties of holy water therefore corrosion will not occur. this is due to the fact that the destruction of linus’ creation will be unholy
Linus's tea will corrode it. The Spiffing Brit's tea will flush all contaminated particles and kill any microbes that attempt to settle in the loop. He's Bri'ish, remember.
This could've been a lot more difficult in regards to the 3d modelling if the Spiffing Brit would've been a coffee drinker, but luckily he drinks tea and teapots happen to be one of the default 3d shapes in some 3d modelling software.
Pottery is the original 3d modeling medium after all and teapots have historically been a sort of proof or test of skill. There are several parts that all have to work together functionally and aesthetically; it has to pour cleanly and keep the lid from falling off while tipping over. body, spout, handle, and lid can give you a lot of different forms to work with
16:55 "well, here's where we find out if things are bad or catastrophic... Catastrophic." That had me cackling for a good minute, please make a short out of that
@Duality heh, I've tried finding it local I don't mail order tea no matter what. So, best I've done is green tea for myself but definitely wouldn't have the stones to use it as coolant.
Hahaha Alex is always creative. Mix that with his "eh, that's good enough" approach to builds always makes for far from perfect but interesting end results.

Happy New Year, LTT! I've heard about the tea-cooled PC through WAN Show; Excellent work, Alex! It was worth the hype.
As someone who lives in the town Taylor's (Yorkshire Tea) is from, thanks for being the first non UK channel to pronounce Yorkshire correctly
My wife is Cumbrian and I spent 8 years in the UK - when Linus mentioned doing this PC I told him there was one requirement we absolutely had to follow:
Yorkshire Tea
Me too, no way
Which is stupid so we did it....
LTT's New Years resolution
“Falling out of a FedEx truck over the Atlantic.” That’s a zinger! 😂 3:32
Love how easy Linus remembered the Seasonic sponsorship bit the second Alex triggered it by saying the brand's name - That's true love hahaha
Conceptually I didn't think this was going to be such a beautiful computer but now I want it!
The line starts on the left side of the road.
'British landlords a d the Royal family are responsible for the potato famine'
god I love this channel 😂 @20:50
A build that would bring a tear to the eye of even the most rugged, most handsome, most powerful man alive, Reanu Keeves.
Ah yes, Reanu Keeves Wholesome Chungus 100
I love how he just casually says "I have this hand from IKEA"
at least the hand wasn't covered in Vaseline like the mobo
@@MajorSkrewup Do ultrasonic cleaners not work on vaseline? I'd be shocked if they didn't have an ultrasonic big enough to dunk a motherboard, and as soon as he mentioned cleaning out the socket I assumed that's how they did it.
@@guspaz I wouldn't know, I thought the best way to clean off Vaseline was with a hotel bed sheet
Gave me NileGreen Vibes XD
Haha, i was the same. I was like "Wait! Why the hell do you have a hand from IKEA? Who buys a hand from IKEA and why does IKEA even sell a hand? What is going on here?"
@20:50 and @22:14 Inside the PC Back panel - Irish Republic Flag with the slogan : "British Landlords and the Royal Family are responsible for the potato famine".... LOL Linus trying to hold back the laughter too! Nice easter egg hahaha😅
yep the Americans are responsible for the trail of tears
@@artski09 These guys aren't even American what?
Now I got a maddening idea.
You know when you're sitting with your desktop and drinking your tea/coffee and it slowly starts to get cold? How about a PC that uses watercooling to heat your mug or at least keep it warm? Should not be that complicated. A big piece of aluminium/copper with a water chamber inside that the water goes through before going to the fans.
Sit your cup directly on the radiator...
Massive respect to the person who designed the back plate… my fav part of the whole pc
That was incredible. Makes the entire video
The royal family is responsible for the potato famine 😂
There's some joke in here about England and Ireland and "perfectly balanced with no exploitation".....
A coloniser would say that, very true
Now this is the kind of collab that makes me happy! Two great channels with real personality behind the ideas! Loved this
the laborer who picked the tea in a third world commonwealth part of Brita9in also contributed, slightly.
So what will happen after a while? Would the water loop need to be filled with tea packets again to re-up the flavor?
The PC will know the difference between tea and water
@user-ui9ni4nf5z i clicked that and now i'm gay, thanks a lot
Just keep dumping tea leaves in and called it steeped.
@@tatzecom clearly using PG tips if it rots.
It really depends on the makeup of tea. I don't know enough about it to know how much of the colouring compounds come from water soluble chemicals contra suspended particles. If it's mostly suspended particles then you'll see a sedimentation process in zones of the loop with significant pressure drop (mostly the reservoir I'd guess?) and the colour will fade. Add to that potential microbacterial attack or off reactions between loop components and compounds in tea (I'd be afraid of the tannins personally). You might also see some permanent staining of the tubes from said tannins.
If most of it is from water soluble compounds well it should? stay in there, maybe still staining the tubes.
Even with my limited knowledge of chemistry this... well honestly seems like an out and out terrible idea x) but I think LTT knows that.
I love how absolutely frantic Linus was in that first minute of intro.
As if he's thinking, "I can't believe I'm about to do this shit please send help."
@19:28 is when i learned The Spiffing Brit's name is "Tom".
I would like to see the Skyrim Cheese Wheel test become part of the standard LTT benchmarking test suite.
Can the lab PLEASE run a cheese spawning benchmark and include it in their analyses? I know it’s not a real metric but I laughed harder at “can’t even do 2,000 cheeses” than anything else this week 😂
As an American, I’m still waiting on the crude oil cooled Pc with an AR-15 reservoir
the tea is going to cause so much corrosion I love it.
no you are mistaken. tea has the same properties of holy water therefore corrosion will not occur. this is due to the fact that the destruction of linus’ creation will be unholy
Yeah it's going to stain the shit out of everything too lol
Like the slow corrosion of the British Empire.
I jest, I love my cousins across the pond
Linus's tea will corrode it. The Spiffing Brit's tea will flush all contaminated particles and kill any microbes that attempt to settle in the loop. He's Bri'ish, remember.
It will match the teeth of the British
Born too late to explore the world, too early to explore the universe, but just in time to witness tea cooled PC with a tea pot. Incredible
5:34 That gave this Irish viewer a chuckle and OMG at 22:11 🤣 Love it.
27:10 brilliant choice of music
Love the sly reveal of the "British landlords and the royal family are responsible for the potato famine" on the panel interior 😂
Love to see it
This could've been a lot more difficult in regards to the 3d modelling if the Spiffing Brit would've been a coffee drinker, but luckily he drinks tea and teapots happen to be one of the default 3d shapes in some 3d modelling software.
There's a reason that it's everywhere: that teapot was in fact the first object ever modeled in 3d
@@Jake9066 we know
The Utah teapot is quite different from the one they used
@@TheBlazingRiver I didn't know that tbh
Pottery is the original 3d modeling medium after all and teapots have historically been a sort of proof or test of skill. There are several parts that all have to work together functionally and aesthetically; it has to pour cleanly and keep the lid from falling off while tipping over. body, spout, handle, and lid can give you a lot of different forms to work with
Lol. This PC was forged in fire. Perfect dragon proofing.
It’s funny to me that spiff got a collab like this and no one else in the yogscast did
i did not realise that he was in the yogscast
Might it have something to do with viewership?
16:55 "well, here's where we find out if things are bad or catastrophic... Catastrophic." That had me cackling for a good minute, please make a short out of that
14:10 if you listen carefully, you may hear TheSpiffingBrit already writing down a bounty on Plouffe's head after saying green tea through it.
Tea is tea green or otherwise haven't had spiffs brand can't seem to find it.
@@Nakasasamar/confidentlyincorrect
@Duality heh, I've tried finding it local I don't mail order tea no matter what. So, best I've done is green tea for myself but definitely wouldn't have the stones to use it as coolant.
I cannot wait for Spiff's response
You know what, as an Irish viewer the Union Jack didn't do anything to hurt my impression of the video, but I appreciate the recognition 😅
5:40 - "and all it cost us was the irish viewers on this video"
Don't forget the Scottish lol
I’m Scottish but mate the majority of the British flag is the Scottish one so I’m happy with the flag, not the country though 😂
Hahaha Alex is always creative. Mix that with his "eh, that's good enough" approach to builds always makes for far from perfect but interesting end results.
Should've taken the bottom out of the teapot or cut in half to put the pump in it.
Less than a minute and already scarred by how Linus made tea
He filtered it, that's class
Well at least linus used a kettle and not a microwave
@@whrench2676 I was in the US a few months ago and had to make tea in the microwave. It was that or... bleugh, using the coffee maker. The tea itself was questionable but passable.
@@Logarithm906 TEA IS GROSS
@@warhokn4178 Tea is fine, it's about how it's made
Floatplane exclusive content idea: Alex's uncensored experience cleaning the Vaseline off of the motherboard.
These custom build PCs are cherry on top! Love it together with crazy cooling ideas. Please guys, start making a playlist from these, sometimes it is hard to find "whole series"
i love how linus didnt even know who the sponsor was and still gave a perfect pitch about the sponsor spontaneously. shows how long he's been doing this thing 😂
4:33 I love that Alex’s hoodie strings look like a mustache lol 😂 how fitting!
21:00 , rip to the queen. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
This gotta be one of the most entertaining videos I have ever seen
Just because it's chaotic
I haven't watched ltt for a long time first video back watching and the intro makes linus look like he's lost the plot I love it 🤣
13:50 Even the BIOS battery has British colors painted onto it. That's attention to detail.
I thought that was just a reflection of the paint on the inside of the case?
4:17 Man held the cup itself instead of holding it by the handle
It would complete the build if this PC came with a background web server that only output HTTP code 418.
Nick is the goat for all this painting and patterns. It’s truly unmatched and I’m not even British.
This build is absolutely flawless and with zero exploits.
I loved reading that in the Spiffing Brit’s voice.
16:56 You couldn't make that up if you tried. Glad you got it on camera!
20:42 "That is stronk", proceeds to pour a weak tea.
