The Fastest Gaming PC... Is THIS BIG??? - Winter One 

4 seconds in and I'm already having a heart attack.

This was the most realistic build due to all the things going wacky and swearing from the builder

Amazing. That case is exactly the same size of the stacks of $100 bills it would take to build this rig at retail pricing.

"This PC isn't about making sense" -Installs 8TB SSD. Me: That's for sure!

Linus: **surprise face at the price of the case** (20 seconds later) Linus: "This $1300 ssd is perfect."

Linus: *loses his mind during the build* Also Linus: "What a great case"

this is why I love watching this channel.. you show us the pure hell that goes into building some of these amazing looking systems.. but always end up with a great finished system.

I love small form factor systems and will eventually get around to building one myself. Every time I get close though, the added cost and difficulty of maintenance/upgrading kind of nudges me away. But I do get very jealous whenever I see someone with an epically spec'd PC all packed into a case this small. This case, being damn near $600 in this configuration, is quite steep but I do really appreciate the design.

You genuinely got me good with the "do not skip", i thought my PC was haunted for a hot minute there!

2% of the video: actually building PC 98% of the video: Linus says ooooooh that's tight!

20:22 "I need to put the thing in the thing!" *moans* "here it comes!" "we're pumpin!'

This seems like a great lesson about what COULD go wrong for anyone wanting to do a small form factor liquid cooled system. Even Linus cursed at this thing like two dozen times.

I love how Linus freaked out about Sarah shaking her parts a bit, but is okay with swinging his motherboard around like it’s a tennis racket.

I never knew how much I've wanted a mechanical switch key as a power button until now.

The thing I like the most about this is how tight everything is. for some reason, compact electronics just look good to me.

Ladies and gentlemen... THIS is why you go with a full tower.

The amount of "That's fricking tight"s Linus said in this video can be turned into a compilation.

The note at the end was so wholesome and i could tell that Linus was so touched ❤️

I'm binge watching Linus building SFF and water cooling by himself, and it never gets old.

7:34 Ladies and gentlemen... we got 'em.

This went from an amazingly small gaming computer to the most amount of panic attacks I’ve ever had.

This build was like watching someone try to run their entire house's plumbing through a car battery

8:03 5 year old me with random things in the house

Loved the editing in this one!

i’ve heard linus say “it’s so tight” more times than i would have liked to

This is the most realistic PC build Linus has ever done in terms of skipping steps, not really reading the manual until it's too late and frustration when things don't work. 10/10.

"how am i supposed to do this.. I need 3 hands" It be like that sometimes

The sound of the pieces clinking together really highlights how solid that is. $450 sounded like a lot at first, but now I kind of want one.

Case cost: $450, time to build cost: $2000, annual water cooler maintenance time cost: $600

I'm gonna use that " so small it will make you blush" line from now on

Love the note at the end ❤️

Its so cathartic watching somewone else deal with this kind of stuff, thank you.

Linus: almost have a heart attack when accounter employee shakes motherboard to see if things are connected properly Also Linus: holds fragile pieces by tiny metal part and tells a nervous employee who is almost having a heart attack "it's fine. it's not going to fall"

We need a counter of how many times he said “that is really frickin tight”

Seeing this just further confirms that I don't want to mess with liquid cooling. I've seen other builds where it goes a lot smoother but it just seems like an additional pain and potential concern, and I already get great cooling airflow in my Cooler Master HAF 922 tower with my 3060 ti getting peak temps of like 51C under a stress test load.

"why do they blush when it's so small" that's linus for you guys

"I'm not worried about it falling off the thing..." Truer words were never spoken.

I like how Linus got on Sarah’s case for shaking components before and here he’s swinging it around and pretending it’s a tie fighter 😂 😆

Can we talk about that sentence: Linus: How many fittings do you want for your CPU block? Also Linus: Yes

You (Linus) sound like I do when working on my car. Sooo relatable! Thank you! :)

“We don’t like to make sense here, we like to make FPS.” Wise man once said

Imagine if he dropped it while doing that intro

OMG that metal clunk @ 4:47 was so satisfying

wonder what the elapsed build time is... Thanks Linus! Now I know to just stick with a full-size case

feel like I've just been watching him say "that's tight" for 24 minutes

4:04 Linus is using a MB, CPU and RAM combo as a badminton racket and Alex, for a brief moment, is all of us.

Thanks for the content :)

better tubing planing and custom cables are a must in sff like these!

Linus slowly decending into insanity is my favorite Genre of LTT Videos

That 'do not skip' editing joke was brilliant ;)

The "Warning Do Not Skip" part got me good, I thought my keyboard bugged for a second there.

great video, good job to everyone creating it !!!

First half of the video: "Wow this case seems amazing! I'd love to build in one on my own one day!" Second half of the video: "I'm going to have to lie down after watching someone build in this case"

This video must set a record for the amount of innuendo, double entendres, grunting and gasping

if you need that extra few cm in this kind of case, get longer screws, put some aluminum spacers between to raise up the case, can be done on every panel or the panel of space needed it, this method helps a lot and space on case parts looks nice...

great argument for the virtues of just choosing a merely respectably specced system and sticking with air cooling

I just want to point out that I love having Alex in the background commenting on the machining and design of the case. Adds more depth to the video that I really enjoy.

I wish i could see the case designers reaction to this, he would probably be freaking out.

2:20 I loved this small edit

"So Linus, how was your Saturday?" "Don't even ask"

Honestly wish I could see the looks on the face of the case designer as they watch this video. Probably on cloud goddamn nine at the end but it'd sure be a rollercoaster to get there.

Petition to get a compilation video of Linus saying “oh that’s tight”

This was actually entertaining to watch.

I built a 5950X , 6700XT system a few months ago but due to space issue I used a pci 3.0 riser cable like you have in this video. Once I moved to pci 4.0 with resizable BAR I got a DECENT bump in performance.

The sounds in this video have me feeling funny. If he says "it's so tight" one more time imma upload it to the hub

I bring you, the innuendo time tags! 0:33 "Why do they blush when its so small?" 1:23 "Too late, ive already got bi-ass" 3:35 "WOW, its solid!" 4:47 "Look at that, slides right into the little slot there." 4:52 "Interesting theres actually a big enough gap for me to jam my ruler in at the top and the bottom." 5:00 "oooh this is really tight." 5:03 "They did not waste a millimeter." "Noo they really didn't." 6:04 "Ohhh gosh that's tight" 6:17 "OOOOGH wow that is a really nice power button." 7:34 "Oh my goodness, these feet.. OOOH" 7:49 "How am I supposed to do this? I need three hands!" 8:12 "OOOOGH that's tight" 9:45 "Just gotta kinda, friction turn it here" 9:53 "Thats what we call the old friction turn." 9:59 "This is not going to fit." 10:08 "Just dont get your weiner in here alright?" 12:20 "Oh my goodness this is so freakin tight." 12:40 "I think I can do it, just need too get it, uuuuhg yes! K we're in!" 13:52 "I got this, I got this, oh omg I think I got it, holy crap they're in!" 14:37 "Ive never done this before so yeah be ready to cut this off immediately Alex" 14:56 "Go pumpy boi!" 15:04 "Sooo that tells us that there's water there." 15:25 "lets give it a little tip while its powered off, sometimes I find you get some really big bubbles that way." 16:09 "ooogh yea thats the good stuff" 16:17 "Oh wow, thats really frikkin tight" 16:59 "Ughh yea, push that in there" 17:02 "Ughhh tighter uggh. Jam in here, ooh yea" 17:13 "hehe so tight" 17:25 "Thats really frikkin tight, not even the way that I thought it would be, against the front here" 17:31 "Holy crap it is touching, it is literally... ugh no okay there we go it's in." 17:46 "Part of that process was, draining the lube, so we get to do that all over again." 17:57 "This tubing is not grabbing enough; f*ck it pull this one out too" 18:05 "What I really want is the right size tubing but I will settle for a longer one, yes." 20:22 "I got put the thing in the thing, here it comes! We're pumpin!" Enjoy!

i'm absolutely in love with this small computer.

all the troubles with the water cooling made this extra fun to watch lol. still laughing

2:22 I feel so dumb I thought I miss click the video xD

the skip at 2:22 caught me so off guard, i thought my keyboard was bugging until i realized it was a joke.

Well that was quite the process

Linus, "This is so tight" is actually a GOOD thing.

everytime i gain an interest in watercooling i just watch a linus video and instantly get reminded why not too

"You did a great job by the way. It's VERY expensive." Damn I loved that xD

at this size you use the central supports and cram it INTO A VAT OF TRANSFORMER OIL with both rads hooked on the grids...only part missing is a nice Display aquarium and the oil (maybe adding a filter)

That’s the first time I’ve seen Linus reading an installation guide

i admire how calm Linus stays when the rad leaks into a pc full of expensive hardware

No ones going to acknowledge the heart warming note the designer left Linus 🥺

I would love 2 see u guys do a build with the ANTEC Torque, it looks like an ultra modern case as never seen before

I now know why i watch Linus more then other PC youtubers... Its because he shows all the silly and random things that can happen when building a pc. Especially theses hard / ridiculous builds.

3:59 This is after he almost had a heart attack when Sarah inverted her motherboard to make sure the CPU didn't fall out.

I can't remember last time I've heard Linus this frustrated about something that he literally starts cursing repeatedly xD

Whenever u said about sponsor of video i m just laugh on ur action , randomly ur face expression are go to change at that moment 😂

Watchimg you use that cutter is hilarious to me. Hand powered would work better but who am I to say. You're just a silly goose all around

2:21 flipping hell I thought I accidentally pressed the right arrow

When virtually everything goes wrong

i use water cooler with this, fixing the radiator part outside, that alone gave me a ton of space to play with, and fixed the led fans out of the case is well, use your brain, this case has a lot of potentials, you can even use smaller case when fixing some of the things out of the case or fit a nice big gpu, space gets handy doing this way i do.....

My Dad Behind the Door hearing the "ahh get it inside" Moans of Linus Coming Out of My Room : 19:43

There are, by far, my favorite LTT videos. Partly scripted, but then things go off the rails, and the boys have to use their wits to fix the issue. It's absolutely the most fun, and I love seeing them really have to flex their knowledge to fix the issues.

If I had a dollar for every time Linus said “thats tight” during this vid, I could build this pc myself.

2:22 That got me I thought my phone was messing with me again (phones can't get possessed right?)

There are rads with fill ports opposite the fittings specifically for resevoir-less systems

I'm glad he didn't skip the step of tipping the computer upside down and shaking it. I learned on another video how important that is.

Whoever made the thumbnail for this deserves a raise. It spoke directly to my childhood.

This video is a prime example of why I opted for a large case. It is very interesting that this much power can fit into such a small enclosure however, for real world applications why even put yourself through the headache.

2:47 YHIS MADE ME SPILL MY COFFEE EVERYWHERE IN MY TABLE

4:06 - "I'm not worried about it falling off the thing." - LOL

You know things are getting real when you can customize the switch of your power button

20:22 is quite the wild ride of innuendos. Why is my brain like this?

You had me at the blue kale on/off switch. LITERAL SWITCH.
