logged into an google account just to point that awesome detail out !! :D
honestly i appreciate the care and attention that Luke paid to those old projects even if they weren't as "professional". gave them character.
Luke's build videos were amazing. They had this relatability that LTT has lost overtime. Like Alex's videos still have the chaos and the jank, but it's using tools most of us will never even seen in person. Luke was your homie in his garage running on no sleep and energy drinks doing what he can with a pile of scraps. The energy in those vids was perfect.
I'm so glad "Slick"'s mineral oil rig reboot from Langley made it into the honorable mentions. That was one of the videos that really sold me on this channel back in the day. Crazy to think it's been 9 years.

This feels like the beginning of an amazing series. I would love to just watch LTT staff sit around and talk about their old videos. The memories and the nostalgia would be amazing to watch and relive as a fan. Thanks for the fun videos you all!

My two favorite types of videos over the years; sleeper builds and most of your server/networking videos.
The pc for the Spiffing Brit was really good and the tea coming from the teapot int the tube gave me an idea, what about creating a laminar flow tube inside the pc, it would have been cool seeing the pot pouring liquid in a cup in the pc? It would be the collest way to show fluid flowing in a zen themed pc or something like that. Obviusly it would need to use mineral oil or something like that to avoid evaporation, accidental spalshings and in to make the laminar flow form faster with less turbollence, but it would be cool, challenging and unique...
The sheer talent and hard work that Martina and Hansi put into the cyberpunk build is so out of this world.
Nerd Forge! 11:22 They don't half ass around when it comes to builds of anything. :)
The smack talk and segues in this one are hilarious! Linus, Luke and Jake make a fantastic combo!
I can't believe I've seen every single one of these... I was going through my Favorites list recently (or I guess it's been simply a playlist called 'Favorites' for many years now), and found out that I actually watched you BEFORE LTT, on NCIX Tech Tips... I have no recollection of that. But then the set in the background of videos from 12 years ago brings back memories, as do your co-hosts, especially the female one. Turns out, some of these videos from well over 10 years ago were added to my favorites on the day they were uploaded. And it's not like KZread back then would have pushed those to me. Wild. I guess I've known you for almost half my life, though you've probably never even seen my comments before :D What I also didn't know is that you must have helped me build my first PC, back in 2010. Thank you for all you for the community Linus and LMG :)
"You made a stencil and it still looked like that". That got me. Jake has 10/10 putdowns. Savage. When are he and Alex getting to lead on a car channel again?
@glittalogik

I'd bet good money that even when Jake's being super nice and polite, there's a little subroutine running 24/7 in the back of his brain, constantly generating this calibre of sass for its own amusement. I'm just grateful that he gets to let it off the leash for our entertainment 🥰

My personal favorite was MBX MK II, loved the story behind and everything it stands for
1 Oil Cooled PC - 10 gamers... when?
Love the bong chiller, built one myself back in early 2000's after reading on forums about them. Mine was super ghetto, but worked great! Using 2 water blocks I built from scratch using 2"x2"x1" solid copper blocks that I drilled out on a drill press, then filled in with jb weld, and screwed some barbed fittings into. With nothing other than a via aqua 1300 pump, and hardware store 1/2" id tubing went through about 3/4 of a gallon of water DAILY through evaporation, and left tons of residue in my system due to my using sink water.

Nerdforge underwater pc would be fun to see. Really hope you do another collaboration with Nerdforge.
18:22 this was my fav of all the builds, because I'm into sleeper builds, looks crappy on the outside but performs powerful on the inside
19:25 - actual cooling tower :D still used in bigger buildings (though, with added chillers) to supply chilled water to ACs in spaces where EXACT temperature is crucial.
I agree with all of these, and I love Luke's roasting of Linus when necessary, in defense of his gem PC 😂
11:21 I was about to comment and say that there's a youtuber named nerdforge who's artistic ability is unrivaled when it comes to detailed miniature structures. Then, surely enough, it was with her. Honestly, I love to see it. People like her with such a unique ability can truly make the most eloquent things.

Maybe build 2 of them, competition style… 2 people on each team, the 4 people I would pick would be Linus, Luke, Alex, and Jake. Draw straws to select the teams, I wouldn’t really want to make a time limit on the build but I would think that the amount of time that was spent building the first Mineral Oil PC should be sufficient, maybe a little longer, and do 2 videos, 1 for each build. Then 1 video comparing them with the 4 of you there to give each other s**t if needed, then have James, Riley, and Dan be the Judges…

I can not possibly be the only one who really likes how Linus looks with longer messy hair! Like, surely Jake and Luke are the odd ones out here? No?
The fact that Geodude made it in is hilarious
I've enjoyed all of these builds, especially the sleepers. I always felt that LTT could colab with a case manufacturer to make a really cool and super functional case.

"This build took so long, that I now have facial hair"
This is a great list, but two of my favourites are actually missing: the "RGB Everything" and "RGB Water Cooling" PCs. While they're more moderate than the other builds on the list, they were still rather extreme for their time because RGB lighting wasn't as commonplace when those videos were produced. More importantly, those two builds gave me ideas that I used in my own water cooled PC with pretty much everything illuminated with programmable RGB lighting, and after several upgrades I'm still using that as my main gaming PC now.
id legit love it if you guys went back to the cracy build like this again
So many comments in just a minute.. also shaved linus is making me think the videos are before 2019
So when is "I'm Really Bad at Holding GPUs" coming out? Edit: bruh they changed the title
These PC's were the reason I subscribed to the channel... It just inspired me to finally take the plunge and build my own system for the first time.
This was great. I forgot about a lot of these and didn't know about quite a few

seeing that creeper and some jank cardboard really should be combined, like the cardboard pc you did but using a aluminum extrusion frame so it's diy friendly *-*
Nerdforge and LTT was two universes colliding for me. Loved it. They should do something again!
As a sleeper build super fan, honourable mention to the incognito pc and the compact sleeper build
The Xbox build is still to this day one of my favorite PC builds. I loved that build and video. It was a big inspiration for my hot wheels PC build/video
More videos with the 3 of you, please! This one was so funny.
that copper Tubing pc was tight. I even thought about adding mirrors in mine! (yeah copper is nice but those mirrors man) Also seeing Linus' teams reactions to his segues is very funny
"It looks like you spent time to make it crooked" is such a burn😂 I love it

glad y'all liked the glam shots of the Karl Jacobs PC. thanks for the fingy cameo at 3:02
That 'Fake' / 'Fluke' tag was amazing. Kudos to the editor(s)
17:10 A better idea, you could let multiple people use it rewarm cold pizza so if it's being replenished fast enough it could actually help dissipate the heat.
SO glad the bong PC is in here, I loved the unconventional way of cooling
Sad not to see it mentionned but as a sysadmin my favourite was clearly the 6 Editors 1 CPU for the hardware and configuration itself, really cool buikd I'd like to see more of.
Holy hell this is a blast from the past. I think it would do ltt good to return to form for a bit!
I think we need a video like this for the TECH UPGRADE VIDEOS
The copper tube PC is gorgeous and the first thing I thought of. Distraught that it only got in through honourable mentions.
Definitely need more Nerdforge Collabs. Here's a couple other ideas: a dustless PC. I recently saw a video where someone built a cyclone dust filter for woodworking. Another option would be a "fanless" build that uses a Dyson fan as an intake.
My favorite build that wasn't mentioned in the vid is the all wooden PC that was made for Wintergatan
4:38 A bit more overkill than the main machine I play Minecraft on - but I've been known to do that WHILE plotting CHIA on the same machine, AND web browsing.
the pride in seeing a box of Yorkshire Tea in that build makes it all the better!
@Nedforge the best detail work ever, nice work as usual
Would love to see more nerdforge colabs!
Really impressive list of builds and very entertaining.
The video where Linus recreated his first gaming computer actually inspired me to recreate 2 of my favorite gaming computers from my past. My 3.06 northwood p4, the first hyper threaded CPU, and my 1.4 thunderbird. Although I honestly can’t remember what motherboard was in either one so I went with motherboards I wanted so badly back then, Soyo Dragon 🐉 boards. I’m waiting on the CPU cooler to arrive for the northwood and it will be complete. Well I need some hometime too.
“The Colton dancing is the best part” is the best part. Thanks for doing this
x gamers 1 cpu builds where amazing and I would love more in depth explanations of how those builds worked and the setup involved
This was so much funnier than expected, absolutely top tier
My favourite builds were the Nerd Forge one followed by the desk of radiators.
The sleepers were awesome PCs and I really hope one day we can see a self-contained sleeper with an Optiplex case from 2012
Nerdforge build definitely deserves the top spot for the best PC build. I love that a lot more than the rest of em
This was a great video, I was grinning the whole time
I think one of my faves is the Steam Deck with the cooler sticking out of the back. When they accidentally press-fit the cooler I was in awe of the machining skill
