5:40 Hey mom! I’m on TV! I’m GK from GK Productions, the designer of this PC. Huge thanks to our modding team for pulling all-nighters with me to make this build happen! We’ve done lots of other cool modding projects in our channel, too! Thanks to SHOKUNIN COMPUTER for reaching out and giving us the chance to build a themed modding PC for my super idol, Linus. It’s truly an honor. I'm so happy that you guys like it! It feels like a dream come true! 8:15 You scared me...! BTW we originally wanted to just pair two 6000MHz CL28 sticks for the best performance, but in the end, we decided to use four for the look. We’re desperately hoping G.Skill will make dummy sticks! We don’t want to sacrifice looks while delivering top performance. Also, big thanks to Ken (EKWB’s Taiwan distributor) for always having my back behind the scenes. Our reaction, explanation, and behind-the-scenes story to this video: https://youtu.be/6pqovT4mPj8?si=mx5K6Uf9aK5cIV8z
Honestly I'm so glad that guy got the PC, he looks like he will truly enjoy it
I'll be honest, giving away a $12k setup to a fan who just wanted to meet Linus is a pretty awesome move on Linus's part.
– We are not giving PC away * couple of minutes later * – We gave it away
New strategy: Walk around Guang Hua 24/7 for every major Nvidia event and find Linus the second he walks out with his next rig. 'Hey Linus, need a hand?'
Honestly, the most deserving person to give the PC away to. They were polite, a fan of the channel, and in DESPERATE need of an upgrade. I couldn't be happier for them
I appeared on YouTube for the first time at 2:15 — and it was also my first time meeting Linus in person. I was really excited and a bit nervous, but glad we got to talk! A huge thank you to Linus for choosing SHOKUNIN COMPUTER for this custom PC project. Also, shout-out to our amazing team — the 3D modeler, painter, and scene designer — who stayed up for two days straight to make this build a reality. We really hope the final result met your expectations and that you enjoyed what we created!
Linus helping out the CS2 community 😅
That boy almost passed out when he heard the price 😂 This is so awesome of you to do this Linus, you guys are the best!
I burst into laughter when I saw the oil rig and pipes. Man this is such a subtle way of reminding where the arab gold comes from. And then it's so elegantly made you don't actually know if they are making a meme or serious, I love it so much
This HAS to become an annual series, and giving the PC away would be an awesome trademark! You should do a tender offer again with a massive budget like >20k, and enough lead time for them to order in whatever parts they need (even though the tight time line makes it interesting in its own right). Imagine the crazy stuff they could come up with!!
This small Asian tech mall was so nice to feature and promote small content creators like Linus.
The little oil drill and the black coolant resembling oil as in liquid gold. just brilliant
Hahah his reaction was priceless😂 ROG 5090 Dhahab Edition. "Dhahab" litterally means Gold in Arabic! The Oil Rig and Arabs with the camels totally fit with Gold theme👌🏼 Really a overpriced but totally awesome build🔥
That fan is so nice. I think it went to the right person ☺️
That kid/guy was a good/perfect person to give that away too! Love seeing kids get better computers! When you give them a computer they will never normally be able to afford or get, it leaves them speechless and stuck in that moment of happiness for a long time!
3:51 The tower of boxes in his shop says he's busy, the Pampers box says he's REALLY busy.
Linus : "not planning to give it away to the first LTT fan I see, this time, it's personal" Also Linus " gives it to the literal first fan that shows up
I was in Taiwan last month and I had to pass by the OG's shop just because of the last video. He's a really cool guy and very friendly. His builds especially the itx ones are really worth the journey just to look at up close.
