We really did learn alot on how to build a watercooled PC (especially what not to do 🙃😂) It was awesome working with you guys, thanks for having us!! 🙌
bricking an android system on purpose to have the animation be just a boot animation is an ingenious way to make sure it powers up with the animation, always loops and never leaves it. such a fun idea.
Thanks for posting this! I was wondering what it sold for. That IS a healthy amount but I imagined it would sell for 10k+ honestly. It's just SO cool and with 600 hours of labor going into it, factoring in the actual cost of the project which was likely $2000 minimum: It's like they got paid $7 an hour. But hey, it was a labor of love and it went to charity so that's cool! Not to mention the revenue from viewers that the content produced.
Using AI generated art for billboards and bricking a device to have a perpetual boot animation is Cyberpunk as _heck._ Hanzi, your contribution to this work of art cannot be overstated.
Seasonic are just the ballsiest sponsor ever. The fact that they were like "oh you're pushing power supplies to their breaking point? Here's the equipment we use. Try us." and then sponsored the LTT video on the Labs power supply tester just shows how much confidence they have in their products.
If you make a superior product then testing and comparing it against others is just great marketing. Same reason why the LTT screwdriver was compared to competitors for example. Seasonic just makes the best power supplies, but doesn't have any way to demonstrate it to the general public who aren't electrical engineers. Seasonic is very smart to give LTT the means to demonstrate their power supplies to their massive audience.
"Oh, you're gonna have a PC case with a bunch of fancy lights, betcha you'll need an awesome power supply for that, don't worry, we're here. No worries it's just LEDs and LCD panels, we're sending 1600w."
My first pc build was 15 years ago and even then Seasonic was well known as the one of if not the best psu manufacturer. So they’re more than just the meme sponsor, they’re legit.
@@camdenleonard7452 Time, sure. Lots of that. Cash, maybe not as much as you think. Nearly all Nerdforge stuff is made out of junk and everyday materials that are repurposed. Takeaway boxes, cardboard, foil, foam, paint, and lots of talent.
This woman's talent and dedication are just incredible. She makes all sorts of cool things with all sorts of different materials, and it's just really impressive.
Everyone seems to miss the comment Linus does in the end. 22:40 . There's high-end PC builders and mentioned her build being the finest he seen. If Nerdforge wanted she could make a carrier as custom PC builds for the richest customers. Also, everyone want custom PC built and her caliber of quality with Alex experience. She could make a sh*tton of money. And create things people will show their friends - etc etc.
While i haven't looked at their channel all that much, I have known about them for years now and they are wicked at making stuff. Easily one of the better channels to come out of Norway in that respect, just so freaking much talent in those two. And yes, I will be jealous of whomever gets to take this build home with them, despite not having played the game or anything. I do love the games overall ambiance.
@@fynkozari9271 bought a new case today that holds 10 fans, WAS planning on installing 10 of the same corsair rgb fans she used for this build. But after just installing 3 of them and saw the mess of cables i said nope lol just left the 3 rgb fans in there and the rest regular fans.

Auctioning it off for charity is such a good idea, will make an awesome show piece for someone. Awesome work LTT and Nerdforge!
After watching this and reading the comments I'm dumbfounded at how hard it is to come up with an appropriate comment or reaction to this. This is one of not only the coolest but best pieces of Art / PC build's I have ever seen! I would love to own this at any price but I do not get enough visitors to my home to give this Artwork the attention it truly deserves. Martina Please, you are a truly talented artist so DONT STOP DOING WHAT you're DOING! Thank you for this.
If you want something like this - I would strongly recommend starting with something smaller (medieval house comes to mind). It's actually fairly straight forward, but it does take some getting past the "this looks like crap and will never turn out" phase as until you get the final washes / dry brushing / protective clear coat - it won't look "right". You can do stuff like a wizards tower, or create the effect of it being a cliff face, or whatever else you can imagine - it's just foam, cardboard, some plaster / clay / whatever, and of course: Paint. Just to note: I've only more recently properly got into terrain / buildings - and have a 6 foot tall tower in the process of being plastered, while I learn some 3D modeling to get some supports, and other nick nacks designed so I can print them and attach them. Yes it's a lot of work - but damn do the results of "I did this" make it worth the effort. In short: Be inspired - and get out and make yourself one damn awesome computer case mod.
"but I do not get enough visitors to my home to give this Artwork the attention it truly deserves" - that part of your comment shows that you're a good guy my friend :D
There have been some incredible one off cases built over the years, but this is beyond anything I've seen. The unwavering attention shown is astounding.
I was thinking the same! When I heard the faint karaoke music I thought there was a built in speaker but then the guy lighting up a smoke made me think, wow that production work is next level.
i was actually watching this with a fan runnning in my room bc no ac in europe, and i literally had to go back with the fan off to hear it again. the effort that went into the pc is insane but the video and audio work of this video really do it justice, damn...
Two of my favorite channels collaborating to create the absolute most incredible computer I have ever seen. Thank you for this both of you. This is amazing!
@@JocheProHD10 "anyone can make a clean and minimalistic build" They're special in my house, Mine is like a wild jungle with branches going off all over the place lol
How you guys sprinkled the whole final look on this built scene with subtle sound design to bring it to life even more deserves a separate appreciation (btw as the scene was going, i was cursing out loud, ‘cause, you know - how else can you possibly react to this ridiculous brutal force of universal beauty) and overall this is so much passion on every aspect to this project, a beautiful product on the verge of art & engineering, it’s simply mind numbing, ffs. 🖖🏽
Martina is one of the most talented people I have ever seen, if you watch her channel pretty much anything that you can imagine, art related, she can do, it's kinda insane
Whatever she touches becomes beautiful. At this point I don't think Martina can do anything wrong. And she's super humble about it, too. Absolutely incredible.
When I saw the thumbnail, I was straight up geeking!!! Nerdforge and LTT Collab?! YES PLEASE!!! Their work is so damn amazing!!! I would be so honored to have her art in general on my desk but a whole PC?! That's going to be amazing for who ever it goes to.
Holy crap. This has to be the most amazing PC I’ve seen for years - and I don’t even care about the specs! I was even expecting a disappointment when we got to look through the side panel - but the tubing and dye are just beyond anything. This has to be at least $30k for charity. Wow.
I thought I had seen it all. Clearly, I was mistaken. That is simply the most incredible PC design and cosmetic build I have ever seen. I don't even want to think about the endless hours and dedication Martina and crew spent on the creation of the shell. Truly, the very definition of a labor of love. Mind-blown.
This going to charity is just the cherry on top of an incredible build. As a long time Nerdforge fan and a big nerd myself I can also say that my second and oldest PC (now my wife's) is still running on a Seasonic PSU and this comment is not even sponsored by them (but Seasonic, you can if you want! :p), it just didn't die yet after almost a decade of hard use service. I do hope the charity action brings in a ton of cash as this case doesn't deserve less. And to all my fellow nerds, check out Nerdforge, they really deserve your sub, they are just great as you can obviously see!
It's too bad Seasonic went from using great high-reliability under heavy load AND HEAT ball bearing fans to "fancy name" junk sleeve bearing fans in their most recent generation power supplies. They will regret that decision when those fans start wearing out seals, losing lube, and DYING long before a ball bearing fan would have.
@@sIightIybored I would be very surprised if they didn't switch out the internal components to fresh ones, especially given it probably won't be up to date tech by then (Linus even mentioned the PSU being able to handle putting a new GPU in there).
@@bricefleckenstein9666 I'm still waiting for the RMA of my Focus+ because I changed from a 1080 FTW2 to a 3080 FTW3 Hybrid. The damn thing just turns off.
This is a phenomenal collaboration, Nerdforge seems absolutely amazing! Had never heard of her before this. But also wanna compliment you guys, your interaction seemed so nice and I kinda love how respectful your communication was, especially at the end.
Martina and Hansi are incredible. If you like this collab then hit up their channel for their Xbox mod and custom PC projects as a good crossover. Then just marvel at their eclectic tastes and abilities.
@@kurtcraig3421 hacked means "gain access to the underlying structure and possibly make changes to it", bricked means broken as in "not working properly". What bricked instead of hacked means here is that it will no work as intended again. Also it is up in the air if the result was actually intentional.
ive been into custom roms/os n all the shit you can do in android back in around 2014-15, and i must say, this brings back memories. it makes me really appreciate how accessible android really is. as long as you can read instructions you can pretty much do whatever you want in an android
@therubberninja Honestly, it’s a pretty robust and elegant solution in my opinion. There’s nothing that can go wrong, because everything that could go wrong has already gone wrong.
Omg had a Blade runner Vibe as soon as I saw the build, brilliant collaboration. So honoured to be subbed to both all the way from down under Perth WA.
You know what. Charity and so is great and i'm all in when its comes to that, but this is literally a peace of art. This PC should be, at least in my opinion displayed in an place where art is displayed instead of potantinaly collecting dust in a hobby room.
Not only that I kind of found it disrespectful towards Nerdforge who probaly worked hard to make it for team Linus and not someone random. I mean charity is great but if you work beforehand knowing it will go there. This feels like they just randomly decided to give a hardworked for gift away..
Great...projecting onto someone literally featured in the video HELPING build the PC she helped make the faceplates for and was probably made aware what the use for them was long before starting the project...
I've been watching NerdForge for a few years now and Martina does the most amazing work. I'm really glad to see the colab here. Now I'm off to her channel to see her side of the build.
@@LinusTechTips I have been a long time watcher of LTT and have seen Linus do amazing things in the past. I’m not sure if it was scripted or his actual reaction but the way Linus decided to donate it for charity without a second thought shows his true character. Having quite possibly the sickest pc build and he could have chosen to keep it but instead chose to help those with less then him.
OMG after watching this I'm completely blown away how amazing it came out! This is seriously the best collab you've ever done and it's so cool that they left you the PC for Charity. That's a ton of work and truly a piece of art in the PC history
@@lucasrem He talks about Jayztwocents a great tech channel that has collaborated with LMG in the past. Jay makes some brilliant PCs, usually picking a theme and going with it, using modelling and air-brush technics, but his builds take weeks to come into fruition since he doesn't have a big team.
Well... 1. This is absolutely amazing work from everyone involved. 2. The show-off sequence is amazing. 3. The show-ff sequence just highlights the insane amount of work that went into the design. It really feels like a movie scene, you just don't feel that there is a computer inside
So happy to see LTT and Nerdforge together, two channels I love watching! Martina, love what you did here, Linus keep it up, keeping tech interesting is a great talent!
This build is absolutely next fucking level. I'm so looking forward to the added exposure coming to Nerdforge from being a part of this. They've been top notch content creators for a very long time with their unreal attention to detail and with how thorough they are in their creations. 100% deserving of all the good that's going to come their way. And whoever's idea it was to make this collab a reality is a fucking genius.
@@power9466 imagine being the governing person about fucking swear words on the internet, especially on a channel that is not really meant for kids. I mean, do they even understand this stuff? Also FH16's comment was a joke lol
I've been watching ltt for years and this build is by far my favorite. I hope they do more builds like this with pokemon, animes like spirited away, Mario, and even location themes like woods, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, waterfalls, etc. This is really unique art that deserves praise
Truly one of the best and artistically looking PC's I've seen. Incredible work by everyone! Great collab and love that it'll be auctioned off for charity too.
How did I miss this for over a year? Lol I love Nerdforge, and the collab is amazing! Great content, guys! And Alex for being such a down to earth Canadian lol
As amazing as it would be to own this piece of art, I would be waay too scared to have the responsibility of caring for it as I feel I would damage one of the very fragile pieces on it and would be forever mortified for destroying such an amazing piece of art
This is probably the cooles PC you guys ever made. The hardware inside looks beautiful but the outside artwork is on a different level. Belongs in the hall of fame of computers
I must say - the show-off sequence, the feel, sound editing etc, some of the best visual / cinematic work this channel has ever done. It just brought it to life, I loved it. Build is sick too and I hope someone has a good $50k+ to bid on it, its gotta be worth it.
I would love to own this PC, but unfortunately I dont have a habit of keeping my place very clean, so I would feel guilty owning it and not keeping it pristine. Also, I cant afford 50k :P
Important FYI: Most of the leak testers you can find on the market use generic pressure gauges which don't have markers to indicate which pressures are correct for a traditional PC water cooling system. In the video he pushes a tube out of the gasket from the pressure he uses to pump up his system. However, even when he used "less pressure" it was still too much pressure even though the guage shows it in the "green" region. This is a really bad design flaw and can result in displacing the seals in your system from excessive pressure. Consult the maual but I wouldn't suggest going over 0.5 bar for a leak test. 0.3-0.4 is more than enough. Any more and you're more likely to crack plexi or damage gaskets.
They're using the EKWB leak tester (You can see the small yellow logo on the bottom of the gauge) specifically made for EKWB components. So it should have been fine.
I love the message about 2077 at 23:24. The cyberpunk genre is so much more than just the game, and yet people keep relating everything to that game when the genre has literally been around since the 80s and has so much more depth. Props for that
@@Bluhbear Man, I still remember playing that one at a friends' house with a group of other friends, we had a nerd tech side, so other than Cyberpunk, we played BattleTech too, board and C64 version. I feel ancient and yet youthful because of nostalgia.
I didn't even think of that until it was mentioned in the long message. CDPR's failure did unfortunately have bad consequences on the genre. It's such a shame. I hope other devs learn from this and don't do the same to other "punk" fiction genres.
I feel like Linus approach to leadership is: old married couple. The diss, the humorous disdain, the unspoken love. I can see that with Alex, Jake, Dan. With some others he's either a parent or a brother.
I love how much Linus was gracious and amazed at the level of detail and the work that was put into the style of the end product. It actually is really amazing, and I would've loved to have seen it in person!
I've been watching Nerdforge for a while now, but her surprising them by giving that AMAZING build to them as a gift makes me want to re-subscribe to her all over again. She's too awesome for this world!
Totally amazing build! You know when you bring Nerdforge into the project it's gonna jump at least 9 levels. Great work everyone and good luck to those who will be in the auction to win this. Hopefully whoever gets it can try to get Martina and Co. to autograph it, this is pure art and one day could really be valuable, no one is doing this to this level right now so Unique.
This is, by far, the greatest PC I've ever seen and the skills of Nerdforge are unbelievable. Damn you, if I had the money I would come to your auction and buy it. Kudos
Speaking as someone who has been in the miniature wargaming scene for over 20 years, those case panels are very impressive. The amount of planning, construction and paint work that goes into a piece like that is staggering. It is a bit maddening to see this much work put into a custom loop build, given the limited shelf life of a PC. I can only hope whoever wins this has the respect to re-build in that case.
The proportions of a usual tower pc really fit the aesthetics of the design. It's a piece of art that I wouldn't even think is a computer at first glance, it is simply astoundingly beautiful. Wonderfully done, impressive.
I have never heard of Nerdforge up untill now. She seems cool as heck. She's a natural in fron tof the cameras. Great chemistry with the team! Great builds. Definetly checking out her chanel.
Holy damn. This is the best thing I've seen on the tube of you in a long time. Fracking perfekt. The attention to detail is stunning; and in no way superlative.
This is one of the most beautiful computers I've ever seen. Really, no words to describe it. Congratulations. The best of all is that Linus didn't put hands on it to mess it up. She's so great as an artist and camera fits on her awesome. She deserves to be part of the TEAM.....
I've followed Nerdforge for years and every time she blows me away with her creations and this one is no exception. If I had this I would just look at it instead of using it. Amazing work as usual.
As soon as I saw the case I knew right away it was Nerd Forge. Her work is so incredible, so detailed. I love every project she works on. Her style and artistry are so uniquely hers. If you're not familiar with her other work, I HIGHLY recommend checking out her channel.
This is by far my favorite LTT video to date! I love the meshing of something technical with something so creative. I would love to see more of this type of PC building in the future!
Can I just say that as someone who isn’t much of a hugger, I really appreciate that he asked before hugging her at the end. I wish that more people would do so!
@@moonshot9056 I will usually be okay with it if I am asked, but if am caught off guard, I will usually flinch. Not because of trauma or anything, but I just don't like to be touched. Plus it catches me by surprise and triggers a startle response, which makes things even more awkward.
the type of cool pc and art enthusiasm that brings me back to both channels , well done and gotta love the subtle editing tie ins for ads like the screwdriver damn you guys are the best hope to see another nerd forge LTT crossover soon!
Nerdforge gives you an amazing personal gift and your IMMEDIATE response is yeah lets give this to charity! She was very gracious, but I sense she was dying inside. Nice work.
I totally get this. If someone sold a piece of artwork that I made specifically _for them,_ I'd absolutely feel a little upset and offended. Of course I wouldn't _show_ it or candidly tell said person I felt this way, I'd smile politely, while dying inside 😝
She did state she was leaving it there forever, implying she built it for them. It would've been nice if he placed it in one of their studio scenes and it could've been featured any time they were recording there. Did they ever auction it off?
@@dhLotan There were numerous times when it was shown off in Short Circuit and other LTT videos in the background as well as being used to show off TVs and monitors.
@@MotFPS Uh she is bilingual...How well can you spell in your second language? Also it wasn't only her writing that. If they liked it then that's what matters, it is their PC for charity, not something that will be mass produced for vital educational use.

i was actually watching this with a fan runnning in my room bc no ac in europe, and i literally had to go back with the fan off to hear it again. the effort that went into the pc is insane but the video and audio work of this video really do it justice, damn...
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
"X employee should get a raise/bonus" is really funny to read after Friday's WAN show.
@@jokeletsplay What part of Europe doesn't have AC? lol
Two of my favorite channels collaborating to create the absolute most incredible computer I have ever seen. Thank you for this both of you. This is amazing!
Shoutout to the SFX guy for the reveal montage- those electrical buzzes were on point
Agreed. I don't think the editors of these channels get enough credit!
Someone must've had a great time designing the sounds cuz it's amazing and gives so much life to it
20:47 That zippo flick !
The energy in this collab is just awesome!. I'd honestly love to see more projects like this where Nerdforge and LTT combine their strengths.
This was awesome! So glad Martina, Hansi and co. got to show off their awesome work!
Hands down the best aesthetically pleasing pc ever built, nothing will comes close to it.
If you like messy, sure. I like a clean build. Lean. Minimalistic.
@@VictorZamanian i mean its not necessarily a messy style i looked at it into a not minimalistic bit clean tidy build i feel it works best there
@@VictorZamanian i don’t think it’s messy at all. It’s just detailed
@@VictorZamanian anyone can make a clean and minimalistic build. they're nothing special
@@JocheProHD10 "anyone can make a clean and minimalistic build"

Dude in all these years of watching LTT this is actually the coolest pc ever!!!!
Only took a lifetime 🙄
The 450usd worth of fitting while my pc is 350usd 😭
That's one of the most impressive looking PC's I've ever seen. Great collaboration, Nerdforge and LTT make a great video.
How you guys sprinkled the whole final look on this built scene with subtle sound design to bring it to life even more deserves a separate appreciation (btw as the scene was going, i was cursing out loud, ‘cause, you know - how else can you possibly react to this ridiculous brutal force of universal beauty)
and overall this is so much passion on every aspect to this project, a beautiful product on the verge of art & engineering, it’s simply mind numbing, ffs.
🖖🏽
Martina is one of the most talented people I have ever seen, if you watch her channel pretty much anything that you can imagine, art related, she can do, it's kinda insane
Whatever she touches becomes beautiful. At this point I don't think Martina can do anything wrong. And she's super humble about it, too. Absolutely incredible.
yea, simping for her to
@@luktor7 lmfao same😭
She’s quite adorable
i knew she would be good at bending those tubes too, its like half artistry and half craftsmanship which is right up her alley.
Honestly one of the coolest PC's ive ever seen! insane talent on the case mod
When I saw the thumbnail, I was straight up geeking!!! Nerdforge and LTT Collab?! YES PLEASE!!! Their work is so damn amazing!!! I would be so honored to have her art in general on my desk but a whole PC?! That's going to be amazing for who ever it goes to.
+1
This is ONE of the most AMAZING THINGS I've ever seen in my entire life. Ever. Art. Aesthetician. Cyberpunk. I love this ❤
Holy crap. This has to be the most amazing PC I’ve seen for years - and I don’t even care about the specs! I was even expecting a disappointment when we got to look through the side panel - but the tubing and dye are just beyond anything.
This has to be at least $30k for charity. Wow.
I think the right person would pay north of 50k AT LEAST for this, knowing it's for charity.
30k is deffo low ball, I can even see 100k CAD
Do we know for how much it was going now?
Nerdforge always doing crazy builds, love it.
Also love their Xbox build.
@@johnhoogstra8310 PS5 build up now too
I thought I had seen it all. Clearly, I was mistaken. That is simply the most incredible PC design and cosmetic build I have ever seen. I don't even want to think about the endless hours and dedication Martina and crew spent on the creation of the shell. Truly, the very definition of a labor of love. Mind-blown.
Best part of this video, auctioning it off for charity. The ending of this video is wholesome. Loved this build.
This going to charity is just the cherry on top of an incredible build. As a long time Nerdforge fan and a big nerd myself I can also say that my second and oldest PC (now my wife's) is still running on a Seasonic PSU and this comment is not even sponsored by them (but Seasonic, you can if you want! :p), it just didn't die yet after almost a decade of hard use service.
I do hope the charity action brings in a ton of cash as this case doesn't deserve less. And to all my fellow nerds, check out Nerdforge, they really deserve your sub, they are just great as you can obviously see!
Surprising it's being sent out, given they're using the hacked up 3090/motherboard/cpu.
Your comment made me smile and I enjoy ppl like you. Your username suits u very well friend, keep it up !
It's too bad Seasonic went from using great high-reliability under heavy load AND HEAT ball bearing fans to "fancy name" junk sleeve bearing fans in their most recent generation power supplies.
They will regret that decision when those fans start wearing out seals, losing lube, and DYING long before a ball bearing fan would have.
@@sIightIybored I would be very surprised if they didn't switch out the internal components to fresh ones, especially given it probably won't be up to date tech by then (Linus even mentioned the PSU being able to handle putting a new GPU in there).
@@bricefleckenstein9666 I'm still waiting for the RMA of my Focus+ because I changed from a 1080 FTW2 to a 3080 FTW3 Hybrid. The damn thing just turns off.
This is a phenomenal collaboration, Nerdforge seems absolutely amazing! Had never heard of her before this. But also wanna compliment you guys, your interaction seemed so nice and I kinda love how respectful your communication was, especially at the end.
Their channel is super cool, they have so many skills and no matter what they do, painting, diorama, costume, it always turns out sooo awesome
Martina and Hansi are incredible. If you like this collab then hit up their channel for their Xbox mod and custom PC projects as a good crossover.
Then just marvel at their eclectic tastes and abilities.
As a programmer I absolutely love that they bricked the photo frame to make it useful
no idea what bricked it means but it sounds like it was hacked, and i'm all in for that kind of shit.
@@kurtcraig3421 hacked means "gain access to the underlying structure and possibly make changes to it", bricked means broken as in "not working properly". What bricked instead of hacked means here is that it will no work as intended again. Also it is up in the air if the result was actually intentional.
ive been into custom roms/os n all the shit you can do in android back in around 2014-15, and i must say, this brings back memories. it makes me really appreciate how accessible android really is. as long as you can read instructions you can pretty much do whatever you want in an android
@therubberninja Honestly, it’s a pretty robust and elegant solution in my opinion. There’s nothing that can go wrong, because everything that could go wrong has already gone wrong.
@@jthoward like the computer equivalent of a servitor.
Omg had a Blade runner Vibe as soon as I saw the build, brilliant collaboration. So honoured to be subbed to both all the way from down under Perth WA.
THAT b-roll at the end is just incredible!!! can't believe how good this turned out to be! props to everyone involved!
i just kind of wish nerdforge have LTT film crew 24/7 now
You know what. Charity and so is great and i'm all in when its comes to that, but this is literally a peace of art. This PC should be, at least in my opinion displayed in an place where art is displayed instead of potantinaly collecting dust in a hobby room.
Agreed. This should be in the LTT lobby.
IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!!!!
Not only that I kind of found it disrespectful towards Nerdforge who probaly worked hard to make it for team Linus and not someone random. I mean charity is great but if you work beforehand knowing it will go there. This feels like they just randomly decided to give a hardworked for gift away..
yeah also what hungry kids need is probably not a collectors beast gaming pc
Great...projecting onto someone literally featured in the video HELPING build the PC she helped make the faceplates for and was probably made aware what the use for them was long before starting the project...
I love Alex's deadpan delivery on the stuff they've done to the components.
"Yeah. We've sub-zeroed the CPU, no big deal"
I mean they have done alot stuff, which was way worse (looking at you mustard cpu cooling), so I guess it is no big deal xD
"I sbsolutely hate RGB."
Me too, Alex. Me too.
to admit to their own flaws shows how professional they are.
This is the best episode I've seen in years and that's not a knock on the other episodes, this is just so good.
I've been watching NerdForge for a few years now and Martina does the most amazing work. I'm really glad to see the colab here. Now I'm off to her channel to see her side of the build.
They went OFF on their production on their video. One of their best for sure!
@@doxnotch3029 they or her??
@@RamiDarhali not sure if you’re fishing for inflammatory responses but Nerd Forge is a team of people, not just Martina. “They” is correct.
@@doxnotch3029 No i was genuinely curious and confused.
Props to her and her team for building that and just letting them have it. That is insane! 10/10
Did she actually mean to give it to them, or was she making a joke and Linus thought she was serious?? 😂
she definately didn't do it for free :)
@@jacobwonder6735 They didn't want to screw around with shipping it back and storing it haha -AC
And Linus probably thought he was finally rid of the mangled GPU and MB.
@@LinusTechTips I have been a long time watcher of LTT and have seen Linus do amazing things in the past. I’m not sure if it was scripted or his actual reaction but the way Linus decided to donate it for charity without a second thought shows his true character. Having quite possibly the sickest pc build and he could have chosen to keep it but instead chose to help those with less then him.
Martina: Puts on a *ton* of thermal paste
Also Martina: "Is it too little?"
Alex: "The comments can tell you"
Oh-kay ;-)
I legit tensed up in a sort of "NO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" -kind of way.
What a good idea to auction it! fantastic project, this has the feel of the first LTT videos i used to watch. What a blast!
OMG after watching this I'm completely blown away how amazing it came out! This is seriously the best collab you've ever done and it's so cool that they left you the PC for Charity. That's a ton of work and truly a piece of art in the PC history
7:37 That's actually true, Jay makes some incredible looking systems, and he is obsessed with detail
@@lucasrem He talks about Jayztwocents a great tech channel that has collaborated with LMG in the past. Jay makes some brilliant PCs, usually picking a theme and going with it, using modelling and air-brush technics, but his builds take weeks to come into fruition since he doesn't have a big team.
@@TidusfromZanarkand I think you are being generous with "weeks" ;) I really like Jay but "months" is more accurate.
@@lucasrem it's a timestamp
@@KubaProrok funny way to say several years
@@KubaProrok I'd say Jay's builds takes some time, to be fair.
Well... 1. This is absolutely amazing work from everyone involved. 2. The show-off sequence is amazing. 3. The show-ff sequence just highlights the insane amount of work that went into the design. It really feels like a movie scene, you just don't feel that there is a computer inside
Linus' expression when she opens the side panel is just the best
So happy to see LTT and Nerdforge together, two channels I love watching! Martina, love what you did here, Linus keep it up, keeping tech interesting is a great talent!
This build is absolutely next fucking level. I'm so looking forward to the added exposure coming to Nerdforge from being a part of this. They've been top notch content creators for a very long time with their unreal attention to detail and with how thorough they are in their creations. 100% deserving of all the good that's going to come their way. And whoever's idea it was to make this collab a reality is a fucking genius.

As a scale modeller, i gotta say, this is my favorite build, that was uploaded on this channel, the details, the craftsmanship, really impressive
as a non scale modeller. I also feel the same.
As a non modeller, I also feel the same.
As a non, I also feel the same.
I've been watching ltt for years and this build is by far my favorite. I hope they do more builds like this with pokemon, animes like spirited away, Mario, and even location themes like woods, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, waterfalls, etc. This is really unique art that deserves praise
if you liked this project then check out Nerdforge's Xbox mod and custom PC case.
Too long
i would love to see this case but for initial d with takumis house.
agreed
2nd would be the monster intel motherboard they jammed into that apple desktop tower case....the one with 12 ram slots
Being a miniature hobbyist myself and also a PC enthusiast this build hits me in all the right feels. Incredible work everyone, this thing is awesome!
Truly one of the best and artistically looking PC's I've seen. Incredible work by everyone! Great collab and love that it'll be auctioned off for charity too.
I wish it were my house
What an incredible masterpiece! Have followed Nerdforge for quite some time now, and to see a Cyberpunk build like this is absolutely amazing.
This is genuinely one of the coolest builds I've ever seen. Such incredible attention to detail, top to bottom.
How did I miss this for over a year? Lol I love Nerdforge, and the collab is amazing! Great content, guys! And Alex for being such a down to earth Canadian lol
As amazing as it would be to own this piece of art, I would be waay too scared to have the responsibility of caring for it as I feel I would damage one of the very fragile pieces on it and would be forever mortified for destroying such an amazing piece of art
There should be a museum for custom builds like this, just think about it!
@@kirilolikazuto9695 holyshit ur right i would totally visit that
If it was any other style of build, I would agree, but it's Cyberpunk. It's supposed to get damaged and recycled into another form.
Man, I feel you.
@@kirilolikazuto9695 VR virtual museum
The collaboration of the century, Nerdforge is amazing
This is probably the cooles PC you guys ever made. The hardware inside looks beautiful but the outside artwork is on a different level. Belongs in the hall of fame of computers
it's nice to see that nerdforge promotes smaller channels once in a while
I must say - the show-off sequence, the feel, sound editing etc, some of the best visual / cinematic work this channel has ever done. It just brought it to life, I loved it.
Build is sick too and I hope someone has a good $50k+ to bid on it, its gotta be worth it.
I would love to own this PC, but unfortunately I dont have a habit of keeping my place very clean, so I would feel guilty owning it and not keeping it pristine. Also, I cant afford 50k :P
Agreed. So well edited!! Epic.
Oh my! just having the case would be my pride and joy, that is straight up the most beautiful case i have seen.
Important FYI: Most of the leak testers you can find on the market use generic pressure gauges which don't have markers to indicate which pressures are correct for a traditional PC water cooling system. In the video he pushes a tube out of the gasket from the pressure he uses to pump up his system. However, even when he used "less pressure" it was still too much pressure even though the guage shows it in the "green" region. This is a really bad design flaw and can result in displacing the seals in your system from excessive pressure. Consult the maual but I wouldn't suggest going over 0.5 bar for a leak test. 0.3-0.4 is more than enough. Any more and you're more likely to crack plexi or damage gaskets.
OK boomer
@@jorgebustillos8469 The information above is really important if you don't want to destroy your water cooler.
This sounds like actually useful information. Why has it a snarky comment under it?
yea many people also don't know that being airtight is 'tighter' than water tight as the surface tension can increase tightness.
They're using the EKWB leak tester (You can see the small yellow logo on the bottom of the gauge) specifically made for EKWB components. So it should have been fine.
Martina: I'm stressed.
Linus: (severely) RELAX! (in bold, italics and underline)
I love the message about 2077 at 23:24. The cyberpunk genre is so much more than just the game, and yet people keep relating everything to that game when the genre has literally been around since the 80s and has so much more depth. Props for that
because of you, I have to pause on that part on full screen and stare reading the whole of it. No regret, thanks!
All cyberpunk (the game) did is damage the style.
While I agree, tbf, the Cyberpunk game (which Cyberpunk 2077 is based on) has also been around since 1988.
@@Bluhbear Man, I still remember playing that one at a friends' house with a group of other friends, we had a nerd tech side, so other than Cyberpunk, we played BattleTech too, board and C64 version. I feel ancient and yet youthful because of nostalgia.
I didn't even think of that until it was mentioned in the long message. CDPR's failure did unfortunately have bad consequences on the genre. It's such a shame. I hope other devs learn from this and don't do the same to other "punk" fiction genres.
"I feel like I'm observing a married couple"
Does Jake know he's being cheated on.
Yeah right !!! Poor Jake being forgotten.
I feel like Linus approach to leadership is: old married couple. The diss, the humorous disdain, the unspoken love. I can see that with Alex, Jake, Dan. With some others he's either a parent or a brother.
@@tefoca Dennis is his wayward son. Luke is his brother.

FAVORITE COMMENT OF THE YEAR!
I love how good Martina was at those bends. She really does have fine handiwork. Such good control and articulation
She is a goat
I love how much Linus was gracious and amazed at the level of detail and the work that was put into the style of the end product. It actually is really amazing, and I would've loved to have seen it in person!
I've never heard of LTT until this collab but the final reveal looks like all of Nerdforges final reveals, they're super artistic with them.

@@scoopet bro, he said he is going to sell it for charity
@@Jovianoid it should be put on display, not auctioned
@@scoopet I agree, look at her reaction at 23:54 right after she said this will stay here forever, Linus decides to give it away for charity.
This is the coolest collab! Two of my favorite creators coming together.
Totally amazing build! You know when you bring Nerdforge into the project it's gonna jump at least 9 levels. Great work everyone and good luck to those who will be in the auction to win this. Hopefully whoever gets it can try to get Martina and Co. to autograph it, this is pure art and one day could really be valuable, no one is doing this to this level right now so Unique.
This is, by far, the greatest PC I've ever seen and the skills of Nerdforge are unbelievable. Damn you, if I had the money I would come to your auction and buy it. Kudos
Martina Seems so passionate and skilled and funny and cool. 10/10 thanks for having her on!! This build is incredible!!!
She's the reason this video has 5 million views.
Speaking as someone who has been in the miniature wargaming scene for over 20 years, those case panels are very impressive. The amount of planning, construction and paint work that goes into a piece like that is staggering. It is a bit maddening to see this much work put into a custom loop build, given the limited shelf life of a PC. I can only hope whoever wins this has the respect to re-build in that case.
The proportions of a usual tower pc really fit the aesthetics of the design.
It's a piece of art that I wouldn't even think is a computer at first glance, it is simply astoundingly beautiful.
Wonderfully done, impressive.
This was so much fun to watch! The "married couple" quip was so on point 😂
20:24 - Nice touch with the voice over for LTT Store

Martina is a force of Nature. Totally recommend Nerdforge as a channel.
Holy damn. This is the best thing I've seen on the tube of you in a long time. Fracking perfekt. The attention to detail is stunning; and in no way superlative.
Never thought I'd see Martina and Hansi on here. The PC turned out amazing. The inside and outside really complement each other.
This is one of the most beautiful computers I've ever seen. Really, no words to describe it. Congratulations. The best of all is that Linus didn't put hands on it to mess it up. She's so great as an artist and camera fits on her awesome. She deserves to be part of the TEAM.....

It looks better when you use it
This entire video is incredible, and the editing, just wow. Well done guys.
This collaboration has made possible one of the most amazing things I have seen being built on TH-cam in a long time. Thank you both for this!
That trio is amazing in this video. And then the duo Alex and Linus is just perfect.
FREAKING INSANE! The amount of hours that must've went into the hand painting and crafting of the panels 🤯🤯
You need to check out the Nerdforge video… beautifully crafted, entertaining and a cool 80’s synth video to boot!
This is the BEST collab you guys have ever done. hands down.
Everything was great about it and the result is just pure cyberpunk magic.
This is art meets performance to the highest degree and I'm here for it
As soon as I saw the case I knew right away it was Nerd Forge. Her work is so incredible, so detailed. I love every project she works on. Her style and artistry are so uniquely hers. If you're not familiar with her other work, I HIGHLY recommend checking out her channel.
This is by far my favorite LTT video to date! I love the meshing of something technical with something so creative. I would love to see more of this type of PC building in the future!
Can I just say that as someone who isn’t much of a hugger, I really appreciate that he asked before hugging her at the end. I wish that more people would do so!

Nerdforge gives you an amazing personal gift and your IMMEDIATE response is yeah lets give this to charity! She was very gracious, but I sense she was dying inside. Nice work.
What else would you do with it? It is kinda too good to use.
I totally get this. If someone sold a piece of artwork that I made specifically _for them,_ I'd absolutely feel a little upset and offended. Of course I wouldn't _show_ it or candidly tell said person I felt this way, I'd smile politely, while dying inside 😝
She did state she was leaving it there forever, implying she built it for them. It would've been nice if he placed it in one of their studio scenes and it could've been featured any time they were recording there.
