LTT has built a LOT of PCs over the years and – surprisingly – not all of them were jank messes of questionable watercooling and hair-brained GPU mounting techniques. But which ones were the “Best of the Best?” We asked you, the audience, to select a few, and y’all sure did deliver.

  • @hannah.
    A collection of all the worst drops needs to be next
  • @SerGlushko
    A surprising return of the Bearded Linus
  • @MarshallRawR
    3:32 "It sounds really expensive compared to my rocks" Lmao Luke, nice one.
  • The mineral oil PC is to this day by far my favorite one. And It's not even close. Maybe it's the shock of watching computer working in a liquid or the aesthetically pleasing aquarium setup, but it's so much better than everything else. It is the one that deserves a re-visit.
  • @mrviphd7307
    "fake & Fluke" nice one editors, actually made me laugh
  • @bk_bergerz
    honestly i appreciate the care and attention that Luke paid to those old projects even if they weren't as "professional". gave them character.
  • @alexmathieu5406
    5:13 I actually feel this way lol. I love the jank sketchy builds, such as Alex's crazy cooling contraptions or the such, as well as the crazy high end stuff like the 100k desk pc
  • @cortesacrawford
    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.
  • @thebaum64
    Another Nerd Forge build would be AWESOME.
  • @SamuTheFrog
    Linus being so chill about the resume fraud duo kills me lmao
  • @jm-alan
    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.
  • @missinglink2b
    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!
  • @lukebrown2674
    The spiffing brit pc was the best for me. Just so much detail and great execution
  • @murcie7896
    The sheer talent and hard work that Martina and Hansi put into the cyberpunk build is so out of this world.
  • @Ricciolo-oj1nc
    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...
  • @HazewinDog
    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 Youtube 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 :)
  • @MikeWood
    Nerd Forge! 11:22 They don't half ass around when it comes to builds of anything. :)
  • @Xamiakass
    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.
  • @edwardayroso1675
    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
