Customer: I want to buy a lawn mower,
Dell: Best I can do is a machete.
Customer looks over at the section full of alienware branded lawnmowers
Customer: "what about those lawnmowers"
Dell: "what's a lawnmower... Is it like financing a warranty?"
But you can finance the machete, plus get on site service if you spring for the upgraded warranty!
It’s on sale for $1500

@@AkaliA101 I'm not that person, but I know I'm not a fan of skins and while I like stickers, I don't have any use for them. I also really don't like plastic cases and other unnecessary plastic on my anything.
That being said, I think I'm buying the sticker pack because I have no self-control.
I’ve had a lot of experience with Dell and after watching these, I’m convinced Dell has become rich because they cut corners everywhere they can even at the expense of the customer. Charging for a goddamn sticker on the computer?
Dell has always been this way... they get corporate enterprise accounts and make their profit there easily. No need to make good consumer level products anymore outside of laptops.
They didn’t bill the sticker, their invoices just list everything. If you pull the list for a Dell server it’ll be 80+ items.
I think Linus would be pissed about getting charged for a sticker. But he didn't, cuz it's a line item. Only exists for the bill sheet and inventory. Not actually charged
That's exactly how Dell got rich, ironically they started as a company who cut corners to make PCs more affordable, the problem comes when didn't stop cutting corners while still having a premium price
They don't charge for it, they just put it on the Bill of Materials to make sure you get the right sticker on the right machine.
I'm normally not a fan of iBuyPower, but damn $70 cheaper before even counting the RGB fans?! They did good!

"what power supply standard is this?"
"DELL"
its too bad, a few years ago they still had standard psu's in their xps series
no no, its future proofing :P
yeah I have
took apart in 2014 Dell systems with that same connector layout
As soon as I saw it, I thought "That looks like a cheaper low-end model server power supply, or maybe like one of those dedicated 12v ones we saw show up a few years back for crypto-mining rigs?" (I've used those to power LED lighting systems more than once, haha) Then Linus confirms it's a 12v only PS and... 80+ platinum on a 12v server power supply is... not very good. Don't even waste your time on anything under at LEAST 90+, if not 95+ or even 98+ at that point, as the cost difference on 12v supplies, unlike traditional multi-voltage ATX supplies, is a much smaller increase that is more than affordable once you're already in that price range and basing cost on %. It is nice to see that finally becoming a standard, though.
Edit: To clarify what I meant by that price range: 12v power supplies are cheap. REALLY cheap when compared to the traditional ATX ones. Need a nice top end 95+ rated 1200w power supply? How does $114 sound brand new? Sure, you could get the 80+ one for $100, but at that point you're not being efficient on just the added power cost alone over a few years.
Also... Platinum 80+? I've never seen that. Gold 80+ sure, but platinum I've always seen listed only on 85+ supplies...
Pro tip for the omen, that top panel can come off with a couple screws for a massive airflow improvement with no difference to anything else
Another thing with the omen: There's 4 panels in that top panel that'll pop out with some pressure, and 4 screw holes for a 120mm fan to mount to the system.

Hi, this is Linu-
Did you drop the RAM?
Because Linus needs a $400 half inch impact to unscrew wood screws.
I've got that cyberpower case and it's pretty great with regard to airflow. I use the 3 included led fans for exhaust on the rear and in the top two rear spots. Mounted 3 corsair fans to the other side of that grill where there is very little gap between the fan and the side pane for more direct intake. NH-U14S instead of aoi.

Me: "Ma'am I've never owned a credit card and I will stay as debt-free for as long as I can."
Girl at register: 😥
@@billsoon8456 lol, having a credit card doesn't mean that you're or you will be in debt. As long as you keep up with paying it off regularly, you'll be fine.
In fact, any adult needs a credit card these days. Otherwise how can you preform a credit check if you wanted to buy a house for example? (unless you're a millionaire who can afford big purchases like this). Having a credit card, and using it responsibly, means that you can show that you're organised, diligent and trustworthy - you pay it off on time and can budget successfully.
Also, having a credit card is useful for when you shop, as it's an extra protection layer given by your bank (something you don't get with debit cards). So if you wanted to return something you bought at the shop but the shop doesn't deliver it or accept a return etc, or if you were scammed, it's a lot easier to dispute a transaction and the bank resolves the matter a lot more quickly. You also don't loose your own money out of your bank account, so it can't be drained by scammers etc.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Origin has their AiO radiator mounted upside down. This is not only going to make it run unnecessarily loud, it will also compromise its lifespan as time goes on and water permeates into the tubing.
Actually pretty happy to see the combo jack - don't know if it's just me, when my earbuds' microphone was just not able to work with my MSI case, that was frustrating! Will always have the rear IO for a proper setup and the cables are usually super long.

Also, I had a computer repair with one of their units shipped with a case just like that, with an RX580. CPU and GPU thermal throttled during gaming. turned those side fans around and brought temps down a bit.
The company I work for is pretty big and has different locations all over the city. I was located in the PC building (and ordering) location for some weeks. We literally "shipped" 1200€ PCs in the way of putting them on cheap and old transport trolleys and rolling them around the streets till we arrived at the destination.

i love dbrands' relationship with ltt.
don't ever stop, guys.
I would think you would want a filter on the top exhaust vent to prevent dust from falling into the PC when it's off.
Interesting to compare to my pre-built Lenovo, the cardbord was super thick as well as the foam, very thick and dense. Your vid makes me wanna open up the computer and inspect it, but I will have to rely on the paper specs. And it suppose to have a fan and intake in the back and intake and a fan i the front, wich seems so be good, judging from this vid. I think I made a good choice with it and I works better and quiter than I thought it would. Thanks for your entertaining and informative vids!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate dbrand for going so far out of their way just to troll linus. Their love hate relationship makes my day all the time. 🤣
As a customer service/support rep, I would be VERY interested to see the manufacturer's responses to seeing all of this. Like I'd legit like to see reaction videos of them watching their own segments and trying to defend all of the things these guys pick apart. I think it would be fantastic.

Playing Tank! In the background was a nice choice.
Many years ago, we had a small computer shop here, where you basicly ordered from a PC partpicker style site, and then a week later you got to pickup your built system for the price the site gave you for the parts.
Basicly the income was whatever rebate ha managed to get ordering the parts, and for that, he built it too.
He even had a small bench where you could sit and test the computer, and always a free coffe too.
He was also keen on getting people to try out Linux, so whatever flavour you wanted, he made you a CD for free.
Good old days, he sold his buisness and moved, and the new owner run it to the ground.
I'd assume with that the new owner looked at revenue and their eyes bulged, then they tried to run it like a business. Sounds like that guy had a real passion for it, he wasn't making much money but loved doing it. Always a shame when you lose those sort of things, like all the little local hardware and fishing stores. Always full of people that love their craft and will chat for hours.
@@Thermedge that sums up many RUclips channels
I worked for a small store like that back in the day. Margins used to be good enough to buy components and build every machine, but prices and labor costs made that impossible by the mid-90s. We generally had pre-built machines available from a local OEM and only did custom/boutique builds by request and for extra cost. Our "value add" over going to CompUSA or Best Buy was that every new machine was tested before delivery (you'd be amazed at how many defective machines showed up) and we took care of migration from a customer's old computer. If the customer purchased any peripherals with the system (printers, etc), we would set them up and test them as well.
@@NJRoadfan Yeah, he had no labour cost except for his own, and he probably valued being his own boss higher then a high salary, although he did make enough to drive nice cars and buy a house (the house he had the store in) before selling and moving.

2:44 That Power supply standard looks exactly like the one I have! Seems to be pretty common here in Europe from my experience
yeaht thats what i was thinking too, unless im missing the point that appears to be the european standard
I was thinking my computer has exactly the same
I noticed the line for the sticker in Dell's listing in the first video, I wonder how they didn't catch such an eyesore then.
Also, I find that continuing URL trolling from the sponsor (and Linus' reactions to it) really funny.
My mother used to work for cyberpower, and we'd go to the christmas parties every year. The owners of cyberpower and ibuypower are actually very good friends, so they could very well have gathered some good "inspiration" fron each other.
@@PhatRAT Sooooo...
Where exactly are they located?
Asking for a friend
@@SkylineLofe City of Industry is around Baldwin Park
Linus: It’s probably just a 2 and a half incher
Jake: Is that what you tell the ladies
Linus : Continues to talk about computer
lol what time is that at
Linus' mind: *I'd say I have a 3 inch*

At least he says something to the ladies.
I scrolled down for this comment and so did you
32:37 funnily enough they both lasted around the same time in upgradability
I opened my prebuilt cyber power to find a decimated front and side tempered glass panels… totally great packaging
31:30 Ahh yes, my favorite LTT series, "PC Secret Dropper"

Sheeshhhh Linus! Now we know why Dell tried to oversell you that warranty! It’s like they knew that Linus is a memory chucker. #chuckthememory
Well no problem with such a great tech support like your company. Congatz on the A++ :)

revisiting this series a year later and how did I never notice that they use a Tank! remix for the background music
2:49 omg look at those audio jacks, it has line out (regular speakers), rear and center channel but NO line in (microphone)
FYI: afaik this isn't DELL using the "new" 12V power supply standard, but DELL just using their proprietary own 12V standard they've been using for years.
For example the Dell Poweredge T20 also only uses 12V from the power supply and that came out Q1 2014 afaik.
I thought it was a redundant module from an industrial PSU.
My friend works for HP and was involved in revamping the customer support process. She is so excited to see how well they've done! Thank you Linus for making her day multiple times now by doing this.
They did horrible
@@keaganmckay8229 No, they had a good customer service and their pc was decent.
@@keaganmckay8229 HP was the one working from home with the chickens. Not a perfect experience but the customer thought the chickens were hilarious so still a good thing. So I must disagree with them being horrible.
@@ericgoodman3510 at least they kept the lines running unlike Corsair
@@keaganmckay8229 dell was the terrible one
That relationship with dbrand always makes my day. :)
On the hp omen, an exhaust fan can be added to the top. 120mm. plugged into the liquid cooler header on the motherboard. The top bracket has four rectangle sections that pop out and a fan can be mounted to this. Also used for a single aio.
