    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!! 🙌
  • @Taurusus
    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.
  • @surfwarrior
    Sold at LTX 2023 for $6,300 in the silent auction supporting Extra Life. All funds going to support BC Children's Hospital. Thank you LTT!
  • @23:45 when he said "You're invited of course, and we'll cover your airfare" I almost cried. :') One of the most positively heartfelt sentiment I've seen exchanged by content creators.
  • @yaltschuler
    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.
  • @plrusek
    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.
  • 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.
  • It's so weird to see Martina and not have her start the video with "Skjera Bagera". That PC was amazing! Absolutely beautiful!
  • @CombatGod
    Gotta love when the channels I follow randomly do collabs together. Never thought I'd see this happen.
  • @bionmccool
    Audio guy must get a bonus after this. My God it added 100 to the coolness and improved the presentation so much.
  • @agamer9347
    Shout outs to the audio editor/engineers on the reveal part of the video. Lots of awesome work to match the incredible detail of the case.
  • 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!
  • @yuGtahT
    I love how humbled Linus was at the incredible amount of talent Martina and Hansi have! This PC turned out so good!!
  • @bhaskartheone
    I didn't expect this at all. But it's such a cool collab ! Imagine LTT and Nerdforge in the same vid!!
  • @phpianocover
    This build was an incredible incentive for me to continue using air coolers. Thanks for that!
  • @Jcee4
    Outstanding build! The creativity here is on another level.
  • @ericwood3709
    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.
  • @WalcomS7
    I've never seen a cosmetic PC build I've wanted as much as this one. Time to start saving...
  • 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. 🖖🏽
  • @ian3314
    This was awesome! So glad Martina, Hansi and co. got to show off their awesome work!
