    Part 4: Gaming on my Diamond Play Button PC with my Solid Gold Xbox controller! #FLEX
  • @Gemini1187
    You guys should turn the Gold Play button into the external GPU housing. That way you can have the two buttons on either side of a monitor.
  • @Cobra_427
    the gem having a crack in it is fitting for Linus since he drops everything
  • @irahaydes9713
    I could imagine this dude in a couple decades making a video titled: “I Turned Myself Into A PC”
  • @harbl99
    Stoners looking at anything: "Huh. That would make a great bong." Linus: "You pronounced 'custom PC case' wrong my red-eyed friend."
  • @Hergotzer
    As difficult it might have been to make work, imagine if the 'diamond' part was the actual power button.
  • @Quizack
    Wow. Alex did an amazing job on this one. He’s a man of many talents!
  • @mosconyt
    YouTube: Here is your own 10M play button Linus: ''Play''? Is for playing? YouTube: No, is fo- Linus: Too late

  • @badeskimo1
    I've been a sub for years and you definitely deserve this. Great job guys and thanks Linus for all the tech tips!
  • @chodak3709
    This HAS to be the most creative thing I've seen anyone do with a play button!
  • @GadgetAddict
    From the crazy bodged water cooling loops in that rented house, to this finely polished computer. What a transformation haha. Love it!
  • @Leme994
    I know I'm just 1 in 10 million, but it feels like I'm part of it. Congrats to Linus and everyone involved, you guys deserve it!
  • @azteamr0per
    This is awesome, another thing you can so instead of electrical tape to make the IR read is to use permanent marker which also makes it read correctly. you can also change the emissivity settings of the Flir using the chart included with it.
  • @johnnyguitar25
    Absolutely sick build! And well deserved! Here's to 20M
