Pfft, your no gamer. You need that in straight away and run some benchmarks to see the big number. Then play all your old favorite games that you'll never play again to see how fast they run. Then go back to playing overwatch on low settings.
Hey man, I had to do it for the content lmao. I legit put it in there so they could get a shot of the jank and put the 1060 back in so I could continue gaming.
Some of those were really impressive. That arcade cabinet for example was so cool. and super funny that one guy instantly somehow janked that new graphics card into the setup. honestly could watch at least an hour of this. this video didnt need to be cut down so much I think.
The truest LTT experience. Linus running around as an agent of chaos through everyone's set ups. Will he drop something? Will he break something? Will you never forget it?
I have such high-end, perfect, by-the-book looking gaming PC, with streamer lvl RGB and a simple, clean setup all round, that.... Id feel awkward and out of place here. Now I wanna a weird 90s looking setup that needs to be reverse engineered too :( :)
"okay so... Don't get mad... Not only did we not need food... You also missed Linus. And he bricked your pc. So eh. Yes. But hey you have a new gpu! Oh. And the old one is mine btw." That must be a weird return to your pc 😂
It was very funny coming back a new graphics card and a somewhat functional PC 😂😂, I've been waiting for this video to come out I really wanted to see what actually happened while I was getting lunch
So great seeing how linus and his team has grew over the years and these wacky set ups are bringing some sunshine to my morning, this is some good content.
This has it all! Trophies, jank PC upgrades that won't fit into their PCs, custom builds, no-case cases, thunderbolt shenanigans, giving people monitors that they can't carry home without some extra effort, modded Apple gear, people AFK for lunch when the judging happens, SLI (it DOES look better), appreciation for the aluminium Apple Cinema display, audiophiles, fake merch... I've been running LANs since the dawn of time and this genuinely looks like it's worth the international trip. That iMac G4 Mod setup is the best, and a Lytro camera!

My guess is whale guy is American and didn't understand what the British/Canadian slang "Taking the piss" means and because of that we got this beautiful interaction between him and Linus lol.
I love that this video shows that you don't need the best stuff to be happy, you can game with older stuff as long as you like it! I wish I learned that lesson earlier in life...
Linus underestimated the pride people have in their pairings so his generosity came off as being unappreciated despite these guys feeling really special to get a gift from him.
He could have maybe spent a little more time choosing appropriate gifts lol. Like heres a 4070 to replace your 3060ti.... or heres a gpu or a power supply you definitely can't fit in your build.
I have an old case that to not overheat the power supply, I screwed it on top of the case a with a small aluminium sheet. It looks like its made to be like this actually. I even made a flap to protect the cooler from dust when turned off. DIY is a life style.
I love those people who bring unique and personal setups. It's not about having the fastest system or most expensive system, it's just about having fun!
As a former iMac G4 owner, I do miss that design. If you only needed the 1 display (hard to pair that with a 2nd or more displays and look nice), that machine was great for the time.
I think its the one design apple made that I actually wish they'd go back to at some point. It was fucking sick. At that point in time all the school friends would always ask "where is the PC case?". Played the crap out of Civ3 on that, my first non console gaming experience!
@@doctahjonez I do really like the current iMac design basically just looking like a display. Since we have moved away from built-in disc drives, for the most part, I don't see a need for the old iMac design to return. Even a between display-looking model had the side slot-loading drive, which I hated. I like tray drives, if any drive. I would love to see a mod of that old iMac to have a better display and maybe the entire computer in the display section, then have an "external" disc drive built into the lower half + some more storage. More of a nice project, rather than anything I imagine Apple making.
I genuinly love that we get an LTX video this far after the fact. I'm poor in every possible way, so I couldn't even afford a floatplane ticket, however much I wanted it so badly.

P.s. I'm a big fan of Asus ROG and I've spent >6 months to get all the parts for my self-built pc. The mobo and GPU are ROG Strix. R.n. it's an already old system (1060 ROG & ROG mobo with an early Ryzen, but at the time it was a really great system. Even today I can play most games at like medium full HD without high temps and super stable. Asus ROG will be my go-to again next time I will be able to upgrade.
@@LVIS-a I'm not trying to diss here but if you as poor as you describe yourself, you should really take a look at lower stack products like TUF series from Asus, not the top of the line ROG/Strix, unless they are like the same price in the used market. They will offer the same performance as their ROG equivalent without all the bells and whistles but at lower price.
You can make fun of these jank-ass rigs all you want. But I've seen enough post-apocalyptic sci-fi to know that, when the bombs drop, the real pandemic hits, aliens invade....whatever....THESE are the guys we will all be turning to to save our lives.
I don't know what was talked about in this video (all the jargon went right ovet my head). However, it was cool to see people's reaction to Linus showing up. Also, a lot of the stuff shown looked cool.
I used to use a gaming laptop with a gtx 1050 mobile, but I didnt have any mouse space so I used the plastic part next to my trackpad as my mousepad. That is how I played for 2 years.
That's nothing, I used my (very small) trackpad for everything, even shooters. I did it for like 5 years, until that laptop broke, and it was very usable. Too bad modern trackpad drivers try to ignore mouse movement while typing and don't have physical click buttons, because now I cannot use any laptop for gaming without a mouse.
@@leonro oh so that's why my trackpad doesn't work like 20% of the time when I'm moving in a game? I thought it was a problem specifically with my laptop. What is this feature called? I'd like to look up if there's a way to disable it for my particular laptop
I absolutely love all these creative computer setups. I also love that, probably like 80 percent of these computers could be beat out by a current high end laptop. It’s not about being practical, it’s what can you make work, right? It’s tech art lol.
There may have been some hiccups, but Linus is just fun to watch. I'm glad that he put the responsibility of running the company on someone else. Knock the dust off and move forward.
@20:45 these two were ready for that shot and I nearly pissed myself and choked on the tea that I was drinking, that's priceless. I hope both of you had fun at LTX.
10:20 is totally legit imho. These RME cards are super nice, high quality and the drivers are still in active development for cards that are like 20 years old. Did something similar before switching to an RME Babyface.
This is how people behave when they have a camera randomly shoved in their face with a energetic fast-talking host. These people were barely allowed to say a few words while being constantly interrupted, to make them appear more awkward than they normally are. Basically this is a lose-lose situation. If you try to be your usual self you'll just get instantly interrupted by Linus (to keep video high pace). If you try to joke back at Linus you'll get roasted even meaner because Linus "can't lose".
12:03 My wife and I are also running off of one 12700K and 3090 using Aster - got the software recommendation from the LTT forum thread for one of the multiuser/1 cpu videos you did a few years back. We can't both be playing a modern AAA game, but otherwise it's flawless. Not even any of the reboot jank that he talked about.
6:00 i used this keyboard on my windows pc after i found it in somewhere for over a year as my daily keyboard until it finaly broke, but i mean it's a keyboard - you can press buttons so it works
This gives me Antique Road Show vibes! Linus this would be sick to do this like once a week ,or even month. I would watch a full series of this for sure! Anyone else??
Man it's so cool to see all these fun and unique setups. Nerds are the freaking best! And I love how Linus sets up to roast but then is actually impressed by a lot of these.
This is honestly the best video I think I've ever seen on the channel. Linus interacting with fans about their setups and seeing all of the interesting setups is incredible.
Makes me wonder what other arcade machines (that aren't stick-fighters and pac-clones) would be fun to make miniatures of... I wonder how tiny you could make House Of The Dead.
I loved this! So much wholesome fun, even if a few of the voluntold participants seemed rather afraid of your chaotic good powers. Best ad for LTX ever. Might have to come check it out next year!
I saw the Koss headphones and I was like "you know what, that set up is probably better gaming headset than mine with AKG702, at a quarter of the cost"
DUDEEEEE!!! YES TO THIS!!! Just relax and enjoy the love of the community you created!!! Awesome video!!! It was so good I didn't even noticed the running time!!! Great content!!!!
That one larger all white water cooled build towards the beginning was slick, too bad I'm a smoker and could never use it 😅 But that retrofitted Macintosh Plus was absolutely sick.... I'm not an Apple or Macintosh guy, I was a very early MS DOS, to Win95-98 user who switched to console (always had consoles since Atari and Intelevision) through the OG Xbox One, then finally came back to PC during the DayZ Mod peak days(I had to come back for that lol), but my buddy I'm pretty sure had one of those Macintosh Plus' ,I'm pretty sure it was that model, but we used to constantly play this absolutely amazing dirt bike game that had little Kawasaki KX dirt bikes you could literally change their engine CC capacity, the suspension tuning, swingarm length, everything, and then it was a side scrolling game where you had to climb a bunch of hills on the random terrain, which was just a line drawn on a white screen with the little green bike.....such a awesome game.... please someone remember what it was called and for which Mac so i can buy and replay that game, please!!! 😅

10:10 Those are Koss KCS75's which are one of the greatest budget headphones you can get and sound even better tubed.
You can make fun of these jank-ass rigs all you want. But I've seen enough post-apocalyptic sci-fi to know that, when the bombs drop, the real pandemic hits, aliens invade....whatever....THESE are the guys we will all be turning to to save our lives.
Let's be honest, everyone else watching this video thinks they have the worst setup
nope lmao
❤q
Fax
theres always something worse than mine
Nah, i didnt spend $3k to self hate lmao
Its obviously a meme having all the craziest setups at the lanparty. Was a great watch to see all the fans at the lan
Luke and his dad look so similar, give Luke another 30 years 😂
Lol that dude at the end looked very nervous about the guys computer not booting.
I'm all too familiar with the necessary CMOS reset of yore. Glad to see that didn't end in disaster.
I don't know what was talked about in this video (all the jargon went right ovet my head). However, it was cool to see people's reaction to Linus showing up. Also, a lot of the stuff shown looked cool.
I used to use a gaming laptop with a gtx 1050 mobile, but I didnt have any mouse space so I used the plastic part next to my trackpad as my mousepad. That is how I played for 2 years.
That's nothing, I used my (very small) trackpad for everything, even shooters. I did it for like 5 years, until that laptop broke, and it was very usable. Too bad modern trackpad drivers try to ignore mouse movement while typing and don't have physical click buttons, because now I cannot use any laptop for gaming without a mouse.
You poor, poor soul
Ngl I had a similar setup lmao. Found out that a matt wood table was good a good surface for a mouse, still used to cook everyone😂
I did the same thing, but I at least had a 17in laptop and put a tiny mousepad over the plastic
@@leonro oh so that's why my trackpad doesn't work like 20% of the time when I'm moving in a game? I thought it was a problem specifically with my laptop. What is this feature called? I'd like to look up if there's a way to disable it for my particular laptop
"Well, you're gonna have some trouble getting home", love it
i love the chaotic energy and overall awkwardness of this video lmao
That there whale had the Canadianest "Oh, no..." ever to come out of a human ever...
10:44 little did linus know, all of the touhou fans own pcs like this (mine included)
17:36 definetly didnt expect seeing Star Citizen in here
2:00 I love that the guy with the sleeper PC has two towers separated by a Wintergaten Wilson Gear.
8:50 Now that's the laptop for me
i like the surprise upgrade on their pc when theyre gone also huge respect to those creative modders. its beautiful
I absolutely love all these creative computer setups. I also love that, probably like 80 percent of these computers could be beat out by a current high end laptop. It’s not about being practical, it’s what can you make work, right? It’s tech art lol.
Seeing all of these set up makes me really happy with mine.
I feel happy and sad for that last guy, got a brand new GPU but missed Linus.
The weird little laugh at 4:40 makes me LOSE IT. XD
There may have been some hiccups, but Linus is just fun to watch. I'm glad that he put the responsibility of running the company on someone else. Knock the dust off and move forward.
yeah good for him to be a millionarie and still being a shil and thief, hopesfulyl like you said its all back and good times ahead. amen
@20:45 these two were ready for that shot and I nearly pissed myself and choked on the tea that I was drinking, that's priceless.
I hope both of you had fun at LTX.
That iMac g4 was definetly the coolest setup here
Oooh, really nice with the feedback on the last problem! Really appreciate it, team!
This video was incredible, so much fun, gave me nostalgy remembering the old days when i played lan parties with some friends
10:20 is totally legit imho. These RME cards are super nice, high quality and the drivers are still in active development for cards that are like 20 years old. Did something similar before switching to an RME Babyface.
But that hole though.. wtf did he use, a chainsaw??
@@khx73 yeah that is rough
deem that brings a lot old memories back when lan party's was a thing!
What i really like is, you guys always link to other videos when you Talk about the topic
Also love how these videos always show exactly how awkward the community is irl lmao
This is how people behave when they have a camera randomly shoved in their face with a energetic fast-talking host. These people were barely allowed to say a few words while being constantly interrupted, to make them appear more awkward than they normally are. Basically this is a lose-lose situation. If you try to be your usual self you'll just get instantly interrupted by Linus (to keep video high pace). If you try to joke back at Linus you'll get roasted even meaner because Linus "can't lose".
@@Glotttisbro calm down
@@Looskidify probably butthurt he didn't get the chance...
@@Glotttis relax buddy it aint that serious
yo chill out, have a snickers@@Glotttis
12:03 My wife and I are also running off of one 12700K and 3090 using Aster - got the software recommendation from the LTT forum thread for one of the multiuser/1 cpu videos you did a few years back. We can't both be playing a modern AAA game, but otherwise it's flawless. Not even any of the reboot jank that he talked about.
Very cool and interesting seeing all of these original setups. It's like an expo on itself.
6:00 i used this keyboard on my windows pc after i found it in somewhere for over a year as my daily keyboard until it finaly broke, but i mean it's a keyboard - you can press buttons so it works
12:00 I have the same case and I bought it because of you, Linus.
This gives me Antique Road Show vibes! Linus this would be sick to do this like once a week ,or even month. I would watch a full series of this for sure! Anyone else??
@17:50 sums it up. "This is Apple....That's a feature, Not a bug"
Man it's so cool to see all these fun and unique setups. Nerds are the freaking best! And I love how Linus sets up to roast but then is actually impressed by a lot of these.
The guy with the retoboy Steam deck should've gotten an ROG Ally
This is honestly the best video I think I've ever seen on the channel. Linus interacting with fans about their setups and seeing all of the interesting setups is incredible.
The DDR machine at 9:36 is very clever indeed.
Makes me wonder what other arcade machines (that aren't stick-fighters and pac-clones) would be fun to make miniatures of... I wonder how tiny you could make House Of The Dead.
I wonder if Linus hosts these type of events to find potential employees. I mean some of those guys are reealy tech savvy and also nerds
need locals tho... and RE is damn ex there...
I loved this! So much wholesome fun, even if a few of the voluntold participants seemed rather afraid of your chaotic good powers. Best ad for LTX ever. Might have to come check it out next year!
nice im glad lan parties are still happening now that im old enough i can go now yayyyyy
Linus: *Literally drops everything*
Gamers: Letting Linus touch their rig
Yo it survived the trip but this dying goat sounding dude dropped it 😅
This brings me joy to see I'm not the only one who is ok to having a janky set up, plus even getting rewarded for it!!
Little did Linus know, having a dedicated DAC for the KSC75 is actually a great idea.
I saw the Koss headphones and I was like "you know what, that set up is probably better gaming headset than mine with AKG702, at a quarter of the cost"
came here to defend the KSC75s, elite budget headphones
@@normaldog absolute nodding powerhouses
10:44 Reimu Hakurei Spotted
14:52 ik that face. Hes brainstorming and panicking at the same time
8:45 guy was LIVING lol he was so grateful.
I love this nerd tech fellowship. It's just immensely interesting! Thanks LTT!
Bro career almost came to an end there 12:15 I was about to say great save LInus 💀☠
DUDEEEEE!!! YES TO THIS!!! Just relax and enjoy the love of the community you created!!! Awesome video!!! It was so good I didn't even noticed the running time!!! Great content!!!!
“Buddy here” is the most Canadian thing you’ve ever said. From a fellow Canadian
I am shocked -- SHOCKED, I TELL YOU -- that you made NO COMMENT on the Moonlander!!!
One of the best videos ever by LTT ... genuine, generous, loved it!
8:40 omfg guy managed to grab a MARATHON anniversary Tshirt, fucking legend.
5:45 Honestly, respect
thank
That one larger all white water cooled build towards the beginning was slick, too bad I'm a smoker and could never use it 😅
But that retrofitted Macintosh Plus was absolutely sick.... I'm not an Apple or Macintosh guy, I was a very early MS DOS, to Win95-98 user who switched to console (always had consoles since Atari and Intelevision) through the OG Xbox One, then finally came back to PC during the DayZ Mod peak days(I had to come back for that lol), but my buddy I'm pretty sure had one of those Macintosh Plus' ,I'm pretty sure it was that model, but we used to constantly play this absolutely amazing dirt bike game that had little Kawasaki KX dirt bikes you could literally change their engine CC capacity, the suspension tuning, swingarm length, everything, and then it was a side scrolling game where you had to climb a bunch of hills on the random terrain, which was just a line drawn on a white screen with the little green bike.....such a awesome game.... please someone remember what it was called and for which Mac so i can buy and replay that game, please!!! 😅
I absolutely loved seeing Linus have such fun... and I know the people he visited enjoyed it too!
