    We just want to remind you to check the instructions next time LOL. If you have super heavy objects OVER 355lbs, consider getting yourself an E7Q😉
  • @AntVenom
    Literally nobody can come @ me anymore for having too expensive of a setup for Minecraft. I'm jealous Karl!
  • @quanghuyvu2649
    Linus went from building a $500 PC a week ago to a $100K PC
  • @trilon4727
    Love to see spending 100k and having 24 fps on max graphics. Truly a magnificent view.
  • @duke605
    Instead of Linus giving Karl the "trust me bro" warranty he gave him the "don't @ me bro" warrenty
  • @superdoodle2
    This dude gets paid 100k to build a pc, has all the parts sent to him for free, and then puts a sponsor spot on the video. Linus has the game on lockdown
  • @faustog20
    Imagine paying $100.000 grand and "only" getting 4tb of storage💀💀
  • @St3ll3rD4wn
    i like the fact that you're happy with the build but even put your input as to the subjects of warranty, 1 of 1 and all other realistic parts of owning a good and professional business. very professional, love to see it.
  • @aceghost1074
    Me who has been milling things for like 4 years (all be it on a 3 axis mill) can not come close to explaining how much I respect the level of craftsmanship of the desk.
  • @iNick90
    It's nice to know for a measly $5,000 you can have the same performance 😅
  • @arron2861
    having a standing desk, it was really impressive there was minimal wobble at 360 lbs fully extended.
  • @Brokenrocktail
    I like how you said you calibrated color temperature between the three monitors but because of the way OLED looks when captured via camera, it looks more blue than the LCD monitors. Could you consider explaining in a video why this is? Why do CRT / OLED look like they are a different color temperature to cameras even if our eyes don’t see it
  • @servissop151
    Imagine in like 5 years when the time comes to upgrade the mb, cpu and gpu on this thing, what a time Karl is gonna have
  • Title: Building a $100k PC. Reality: Building a $6k PC with $20k of peripherals and an $74k desk.
  • @JaguarRidesYT
    Very cool! But Imagine how hard it’s gonna be to clean the dust out 💀
  • bro asked for a 100,000$ dollar pc bro got a 10k pc and a 90k table with nice legs
  • @ensuredchaos8098
    I find it ironic that even with a near infinite budget for hardware and the most custom cooling solution known to man, they only managed to hit 45 FPS with Minecraft Shaders enabled when they cranked up the graphics and looked into the distance lol.
  • @darrylpioch2055
    The audio is truly over the top and I love that he went with a straight up genelec studio monitoring system 🤣(I sound engineer full time so that's right up my alley). Genelec makes great monitors and only has a few true competitors. The issue is those genelec monitors are soooo good, that unless he has a completely built out well acoustically treated room, they'll sound way better than the room they're in and that will be their performance limitation lolllll. However with them being fully coaxial, there is the added benefit of being able to place them extremely close and max out the ratio of audio to room reflections
  • @rarapas
    This iconic "I did a thing!" moment from here and the building video, should be referenced on every video made that features Alex <3 :D
