Don't worry, here in TPU we don't hate each other this is the way how we show our love

 

[dorsetknob]

Its ok guess what
VR PC-BUILD will be along soon with specs for one of his builds soon

I was amused, don't know what you clowns had an issue about. I mean it was a worthless review of someone who was sufficiently amused by shiny things.

 

[TheGuruStud]

And that's why he makes money and many jokers dont.

And why no one with any wits will take him seriously anymore. He was alright in the beginning, but is just an annoying douche, now.

This is normal for tons of YTubers. They devolve into cash grabbers at any cost (even committing actual crimes).

The video is kinda pointless so this thread is kinda pointless too. It's just for fun, who takes that seriously has a problem with himself. Linus has more than enough serious videos too, I enjoy some of them purely for some informations and entertaining on top of that - but yes, there are maybe better channels. I would even say it's a fact and I could at least name 3 of them.

 

[PLSG08]

personally I find Linus channel alright but content wise there are better ones out there. Nowadays they're filled with Expensive stuff that an everyday user won't even bother touching. To be fair with Linus, it was titled Holy Sh!t. IMO the TechQuikie channel is much better than the LTT channel now as at least I learn something new with TQ.

I mean they reviewed a $10,000 camera to film B rolls and etc. :/ A film guy could do away with a $700 camera with maybe $300 lenses and a DIY roll and I'd have change for 2 titan X's.

I'm not sure why the price of the system had to be included in the title, more expensive doesn't always mean better, but I suppose there are people stupid enough to believe it must be good, it costs a fortune.

Interesting how a bunch of guys with a little to no knowledge about computers manage to create one of the most successful PC enthusiast channels.

I never hated Linus (though I never liked his bullshit either), up until the moment he decided to call up Louis Rossmann on GPU "baking" topic.
If you don't know who Louis is - he has a Youtube channel on component-level electronics repair (mostly Apple products).

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

If Linus hadnt shown me that computer i would never have seen the Cinebench run which was super impressive. I would like to have seen a "traditional" task manager shot though.

Nice one Linus and @Estaric .......

 

[Capitan Harlock]

I follow i'm from the beginnig and i don't have anything to say about him because i like it.
Talking about the topic , i have see the video already and i think that the point is not so cheap.
40000$ is a lot of money but is not for Gaming and simple stuff .
Is an example of how much can cost a system for heavy duty load and so on.

 

[Vayra86]

Linus pretty much went to the bottom of my list when he was actively promoting the FX procs and faked benches to make them look better playing Crysis 1.

After that he just got worse and less informative.

 

[Jetster]

Little jealousy ?
Jesus if you were offered parts and money you would sell out too. Remember when Tech TV had no sponsors? 2004 I think. They would buy every part and test them themselves. That didn't last long but it was cool. Then the sponsors came and it was ATI show from then on

So I take it the only reason to do this (other than because you can) is because you can afford 40k but can't afford the server farm?

I like these videos but honestly can never understand the real world application.

 

[Kanan]

It's about clicks and likes and views, you do what's needed to get those. Simple. There are more honest channels around for those who don't like it. LTT is 98% entertainment. If you expect more it's the wrong channel for you.

"Unless you browse SuperMicro's website for fun... yeah, nobody does that".

I do... just the other day I came across the X10SDV-7TP8F, a loaded Xeon-D 1587 motherboard. The CPU wasn't a total surprise, it's specs have been known about for some time, but it's still not on ARK so a very recent release.

The reason of this video is to show off. I don't mean that negatively as this is what Puget Systems does. In the past there have been submerged oil cooled computers and other show pieces built to promote the company. They'll also sell a few along the way too. Think back to the $10K QuadSLI Dell computer which sold out it's limited edition quantity in very short time. I have no doubt that there are some people ready to one-up their friends, even at the cost of $40K.

There also exists a reality where you can find these systems being used as intended. Price to performance drops faster than hate on Twitter if you are using it for anything other than these intended niche situations. This is why it's not a step before a server farm. The step before is a farm smaller than the one you are thinking of right now For example, I'm not going to run a company on a single 4P server, I'm going to have 2 or 3 2P servers with enough budget leftover for the switches, cabling, rack, UPS, and many workstations.
