"I troubleshooted it for about two hours. I fixed it by blowing compressed air on it, I have no clue why it works now." You just succinctly summed up my entire line of work.
I had a PC that would just crash every few hours. The temps read 60°C, it would not have any warning, just at a certain point, keyboard and mouse would stop working, and it would still output video for a minute, then shut itself off. Tried lots of stuff, RAM change, mobo replacement, PSU change, bios updates, changing bios settings regarding clocking, CPU updates, name it. The problem persisted. One day, I just hosed it down with compressed air, and then it ran for a week without any issue. Guess the machine spirit just wanted some fresh air.
@@Moshthun Mayhaps your recitation of the litany of processor cooling lacked the appropriate sanctified oils and incense. The machine spirit of the cogitator needed the appeasement of holy air to calm it. The Omnissiah guided your hand that day.
@@Moshthun I had an issue like this with an old laptop, (without a battery) the power chord wasn't supplying the correct voltage, and was under-volting the machine just enough that on high loads it just shut down.
I gotta agree with Linus here Alex, that may be an old "sleeper" case, but it definitely doesn't look like a sleeper anymore. That looks like an awesome retro case that wouldn't be remiss in a modern case lineup.
I was going to say..."the white dude with the hat and beard," but... the white dude with the baseball hat and collared shirt, I guess... "That's a problem for later..." Lol, my philosophy on Life. ;-)
I just want to say that Alex is amazing. He's the perfect balance of mischievous chaos and actually being smart and knowing what he's doing. Also shout out to Anthony just cause.
It is a shame that he doesn't host well, and his criticism of products sounds more like nitpicking. I actually don't watch videos he hosts. That's my opinion.
Fr though I'm so happy that Initial D is getting the exposure by such a large channel as LTT. Hopefully this introduces new people to the anime and, in extension, car culture
One of the greatest projects I've seen on LTT. This build is pushing the limits, but not the 16 4K displays or petabyte project limits, but the limits a regular everyday consumer could have in a workstation. It's so Initial D not just in the design, but in its energy and philosophy - pushing your everyday workhorse machine to its absolute limits, outrunning everything expensive, flashy and conventionally fast. The computer just screams of love and dedication its creator have put into it. It just needs a speed test to make the other builds bite the dust. There are few things I've seen on LTT that I've craved more than this. I haven't felt this way about a computer in a loooong time.
I think one of my favorite things in these types of videos is seeing Linus' reaction to work done by the he team. You can tell he's genuinely proud of them and shows enthusiasm not just for the camera but for his employees effort. Even when something is asmiss, it's just a slight jab and for fun and quickly moving on. I'm guessing these are done in minimal takes so it's genuine and I think that shows.
holy shit when the name "bunta" dropped i could not believe it. still dreaming of a ae86 even now as an adult. this was such a joy to watch!!! Thanks LTT
Nailed it. I'm right there with ya man. Got me thinking about using using an old Mac case thats translucent turqoise (fun to say) that I've saved SOLELY because the case is cool. Matter of fact, I have HUGE Mac CRT monitor 21ish" Thats a cool purple-y color. It'd be some work, but an interesting case fo sho.
Instead of going on to build x86 hardware for decades, it is really about time to change the cpu ISA to a fresher layout without dragged along stones of outdated tech. There is ARM and RISC-V which promise a higher performance per watt without the need of heavy water cooling in the first place. Hopefully things will change, when apple would build a new gaming console and hopefully without their proprietary metal api. PS: All that heated PC just to run Forza Horizon 5, which also runs perfectly on a steam deck, which is also usable as a desktop PC.
Wanted to do an old Fujitsu Siemens Case but the HDD cage could not be removed and you would have to completely customize it. Also it would have to be low power
I've been rocking an external radiator for more than a few years now and swapping round the direction of the fans has become a marker of the changing seasons. With them blowing towards you you get the nice warm air, which is perfect in winter. And, with them blowing away you get a nice cooling breeze, perfect for summer.
I'll have to keep external radiators in mind when I finally get a house (markets terrible right now) and a new desk (not enough space right now for what I want). My biggest concern is noise, I have a Fractal Design Define 7 case specifically because I wanted a quieter build while still getting good performance.
The "EUROBEAT INTENSIFIES" part of the video staring at 20:42 absolutely split my sides. Also fantastic job on the chapter naming and of course the amazing computer.
@@Raruschmaru best of all, the song used there was Path of Desire, a recent release by Odyssey Eurobeat, which if you are familiar with eurobeat from Initial D, you may recognize the name Ken Blast, which is an alias of Odyssey's.
Go Bunta! Initial D is one of the 90's greats for the anime world. The Toyota AE86 Trueno was considered an obsolete car during the era of Takumi and Bunta's racing story. The chassis was actually one of the amazing parts of this car, along with the heavier weight for downhill drift racing in Japan. Throughout the series they face some challenges, and the car goes through different upgrades to combat the competition. Awesome theme, team! Definitely fits the bill. :) Go SPACE BOY!
You can definetely see Alex being a true Petrolhead in this video! Great Initial D references with the build and the editing!! Loving to see anything related to cars!
I'm always calling Alex out for half assing everything. But he did a legitimately good job on this build, so I will eat my words. Nice work Alex, I love seeing quality builds.
If a sleeper in the car world is leaving the outside crap while the insides can kick some proper ass, then this PC is the equivalent to a "RestoMod". Looks amazing, and putting the rad under the table like that is brilliant.
this is literally the most beautiful build I have ever laid my eyes on. Also watching Linus try to drift a car was my 2nd favorite part of the video. "this is a good tune you're just bad" "oh no I have no doubt I am bad"
A CRT TV? Not a bad idea, but you'd never fit an actual CRT in it or the aspect ratio would be wrong for a modern flat panel. 16:9 CRT's are too rare and expensive to trash for a PC build.
as an initial d fan myself i appreciate that you guys made this pic and the video, and the references to the show makes me feel like you guys actually watched the show. love this video
I feel like they watched a few episodes. They should have named it Takumi since Bunta never really touched the car except for... 2 episodes tops? When he fixed the suspension and then when he replaced the engine. Other than that it was just him in the shop or with his WRX.
@@oAPXo Yeah, but Bunta is the OG legend. You see him drift with literally no hands while lighting up a smoke, and he convincingly beat Takumi in his unofficial race against him in 4th Stage. He's definitely made out to be a much better driver than Takumi, at least for most of the series. They're probably a bit closer in skill by the end.
@@oAPXo well its still technically bunta's for the longest, so i dont see any problem with that. Bunta's side of his racing career could be a whole anime i feel like
@@mikestakeon who knows, since when takumi used the wrx he felt like that car was way better than the 86, but bunta definitely hs more experience tho. so id say its a toss up on who'd win in a race
21:19 Linus is right! It looks way too good for a Sleeper PC! It looks like it's very powerful at the first glance! Not sleepy at all! Awesome project though!
I love this theme. I wanted to do a car themed PC for a long time. My first build was actually a Chevelle themed rig I did in the early 2000s for my younger siblings. It even powered on with keys that they all had their own of. Maybe again someday.
I’ve been dreaming of building a GMT400 Chevy Silverado themed PC one day lol, but Chevelle themed? That sounds so badass! Do you happen to recall the specs of your build?
@@TH3C001 lol. It was early 2000's and using old parts I had laying around. So it was probably a Pentium 3. The case was a basic beige box that I cut a hole in the side for an acrylic window. Painted the shell gloss white with satin black racing stripes. Airbrushed a hand cut stencil of a Chevelle logo on the other side. And of course I had to add white cold-cathode light tubes to the inside. Their dad actually still had it stashed away until about a month ago when he was getting ready to move. I wish I still had pictures of it.
@@Ferrariferg that still sounds awesome. One day I'll probably have a computer worth the time and effort, component-wise. I know exactly what I'd want for a GMT400 themed PC, I just wouldn't know how to incorporate the looks of a C/K1500, maybe logos and badging, but I'd want to go further and make it look like a piece of the truck, maybe like style the front panel to look like a grille lol.
@@Ferrariferg I may get closer to that dream build after all. Just impulse bought a Ryzen 7 5700X (it is launch day after all lol). 5700X, 5.7 liter Vortec. 8 cores, 8 cylinders, that CPU is the true center piece to make the theme work for me just for those similarities lol. I'm thinking of making a case that looks like the front section of the truck like if you sliced the front end off at the windshield cowl, and the side panel would be the hood. Might work better to build it as a horizontal desktop PC than a vertical tower, but for now it remains a dream to do that much detail, maybe it's closer to reality now though lol.
I felt so nostalgic as i have an almost 20 year old pc lying in the house, like this, although old and useless the case is nearly the same as the one in the video. Great video too btw.
Linus: "Oh yeah, this is sponsored by Seasonic, they make great power supplies"... "this particular one has a 12 year warranty. It could last longer than your car." Nobody: Hmm... sleeper PC built in a car. LTT Writers: "Hey Linus, we have a terrible PC Build idea."
Be aware of red Leds though! Sometimes with red leds are the exact other way around. It only counts for red leds, the rest is exactly as you said. By doubts just type in the partnumber and whip out the manafactures data sheet. There always straightforward. You can test single small leds always up to 1.9mv.
The new intro change is actually nice, I don’t want the animation to go away but I did often find myself skipping it, seems like a good 2 second alternative
YOOO nicholas' voice is AMAZING wth. that dude SHOULD do some voice over or podcast or something. him an anthony talking about tech stuff would be the best asmr there ever was
Anyone else remember the Initial D arcade game, where you'd get your own custom ID card that saved all of your game/car data? Back then, an arcade game that gave you an ID card for game data was badass and new.
Yeah i grow up playing arcade stage in my local mall but it can't accept cards now because someone throw a water on the reader so i play on pc or play wangan midnight.
@@MTech-ss9yo Yeah... kids... Back in the mid 90s to early 2000's, we all hung out at "too much is not enough" in NYC (The club was featured in the movie Hackers.) It was like an arcade meets skate park meets bowling alley style cafe. I touched my first boobs there!!! Hahaha
Put a lot of coins in at South Hills Golfland back in the day. Sometimes the line of tokens on the fighting games was so long you knew you could get in a couple races before you were up.
Sleeper PC's are probably my favourite style of PC build. Working on a little something myself atm... Dont mean to flex but the entire rear panel is custom CNC.
6:37 - Alex, I hope you know just how upsetting it is to see how DREADFUL those holes look after you made me hopeful by having a template and seeing you use a drill press.
@@burgertim7878 I also have a Bluray drive for ripping CDs (WAV ftw), but I use an external USB drive, which makes much more sense then wasting case space.
Got excited when I saw the thumbnail. Said out loud," IS THAT AN INITIAL D PC?". Although it raises the question.... How many people at LTT have actually watched the legendary anime known as Initial D?
Never thought I would say this but Linus is right. The 1:1 monitor and model M would of been superb with this build. Either way, I think the is a cracking build.
You know what would be cool, if there was a racing game where the acceleration was linked to frame rate and that became a fun benchmark builders ran to see who could get the best lap time
Your team does amazing work, I have to say, you must be real proud to have put together such a great team. Alex, Anthony, and Luke are definitely your like minds. Linus, keep up the great work
Tbf, that Vaio case just looks too modern for its time that it doesn't look quite sleeper PC. Most sleepers PC case tend to have aesthetic that only reflects their era that is too dated to look it now. Thus Vaio case is so nice that seems timeless.

Sleepers are sick, my favorite type of build.
Give that 3090 a medal 🏅 ! Its a survivor after all the abuse. Dont be surprised if manufacturers label em as "ltt proof" in the future.
*LTT Resistant, i really dont think theres such a thing as LTT proof :D
But does that mean it's Linus proof?
When have ever the manufacturers stayed true to their marketing? 😆
Of course not Linus proof..
Honestly, that kinda seems like the thing Nvidia would do lol.
@Глеб Сальманов this should be a thing! By those standards, Nokia 3310 is a LP8
Linus: "Oh yeah, this is sponsored by Seasonic, they make great power supplies"... "this particular one has a 12 year warranty. It could last longer than your car."
Nobody: Hmm... sleeper PC built in a car.
LTT Writers: "Hey Linus, we have a terrible PC Build idea."
RGB underglow from the PC?
yes
Well
Can we take a moment to just appreciate the paint job? It just looks so good!!!
I’m glad the Bunta reference was exactly what I was thinking.
Legitimately the best PC you guys have ever built. This is beautiful. Love the Initial D theming.
This is such a great duo! Compliment each other’s personality and style in such a funny way.
Loving the edits on this video. Linus is fodder for perfectly timed cuts.
an an Initial D fan, this build makes me really happy
Tip : You can check an LED's polarity by looking into it, the large electrode will be the negative and the smaller electrode is positive.
Be aware of red Leds though! Sometimes with red leds are the exact other way around. It only counts for red leds, the rest is exactly as you said. By doubts just type in the partnumber and whip out the manafactures data sheet. There always straightforward. You can test single small leds always up to 1.9mv.
absolutely loving the Initial D theme! Outstanding job on the build guys :)
The Initial D impressions at 20:49 were so perfect omg
And Anthony is a perfect fit for Ryosuke Takahashi lmao
his impression's too perfect
i love this segment at 20:50 so much! , just cherry on top of the cake!
man I always wanted to do an Initial-D themed PC.....this video was fantastic, awesome job guys
Can it be called a sleeper if there are RGB fans under the desk, showing you that there's more than what meets the eye to it?
I mean you can always turn them off right?
A third leg.
@@Asatora its not a sleeper when a supercharger block is coming out of the bonnet
You can hide NOS bottles and I've seen turbos mounted UNDER the car, so hide the fans and it's nighty-night.
I wouldn't think so myself 🤷♂️ no...
As a car nerd and a computer nerd this pleases me. That scene with the boys acting like sideline characters form the show had me dying.
The new intro change is actually nice, I don’t want the animation to go away but I did often find myself skipping it, seems like a good 2 second alternative
20:56 my favorite part is Anthony's version of how they always talk on initial D!
I'm a simple man. I see sleeper PC, I like.
Fancy seeing you here- been loving your videos recently, too!
OK, I freaking love this video. Perfect reference to Initial D. And Bunta as a backgrounds is just perfect.
Alex's reaction to "water cooling enema" is perfect. Going from "wait, what?" to realizing what Linus meant to "uncontrollable laughter"
Can never to be careful at Linus Tech Tips! I don't blame him!
It’s been a while since we got a sleeper PC, especially one as unorthodox is this where the radiator is under the table. But hey, I’m all here for.
This looks amazing, I agree with linus that it doesn't have that sleeper vibe since its too cool but it definitely retro. I want it
YOOO nicholas' voice is AMAZING wth. that dude SHOULD do some voice over or podcast or something. him an anthony talking about tech stuff would be the best asmr there ever was
I love watching Linus plead with people he hired, at the company he owns, to get his way... and still not get his way.
I think linus mention that he had to pull the boss card twice, I wanted to see that.
Sleeper PC series are some of the best content you guys put out, amazing video. Alex & Nick did an insanely good job 👍
Who ever took the picture and made the thumbnail knew exactly what they were doing. Also I think Linus might be trying to compensate for something.
Retro VAIO cases have always been my favorite when it came to sleeper battlestations.
Anyone else remember the Initial D arcade game, where you'd get your own custom ID card that saved all of your game/car data?
Back then, an arcade game that gave you an ID card for game data was badass and new.
Yeah i grow up playing arcade stage in my local mall but it can't accept cards now because someone throw a water on the reader so i play on pc or play wangan midnight.
@@MTech-ss9yo Yeah... kids...
Back in the mid 90s to early 2000's, we all hung out at "too much is not enough" in NYC (The club was featured in the movie Hackers.) It was like an arcade meets skate park meets bowling alley style cafe.
I touched my first boobs there!!! Hahaha
I had a mini wallet to hold my cards for Initial D/Maximum Tune/Tekken 5 😂.
Good times!
Put a lot of coins in at South Hills Golfland back in the day. Sometimes the line of tokens on the fighting games was so long you knew you could get in a couple races before you were up.
@@MrTotenks lol
love alex and love the editor! so well done both of you
I think it was just cheaper to use backstock fill bottles than normal infill for the packaging.
Funny either way lol
this is a great sleeper, amazing work. Also Anthony's Cameo made that bit
It's such a sleeper that it looks like an Alienware on the outside.
Sleeper PC's are probably my favourite style of PC build. Working on a little something myself atm... Dont mean to flex but the entire rear panel is custom CNC.
I'm still learning Japanese and my Katakana is a little rusty, but that edging on the panel is pretty funny ☺️ (Should have expected that by now)
Well, they always fit it in every video
Expected, but still made me chuckle
23:18 To paraphrase Hank, “it feels like someone without a fever is yelling at my pant.”
6:39 All that precise equipment, super shiny backplate, 2 shitty uncentered holes.
6:37 - Alex, I hope you know just how upsetting it is to see how DREADFUL those holes look after you made me hopeful by having a template and seeing you use a drill press.
didn't secure it in place. and probably wrong speed.
That so called "sleeper" looks awesome!! I would literally give an appendage to own such a beast 👍❤️
Do it.
That is about the coolest sleeper concept result ive ever seen, Alex you ROCK-!! The paint scheme LOOKS FANTASTIC-!
I'm genuinely amazed how quickly optical drives have gone the way of the floppy disk.
i never used them, USB i can do, but just never needed...
I still use one, mainly for ripping CDs (for those who remember).
@@burgertim7878 I also have a Bluray drive for ripping CDs (WAV ftw), but I use an external USB drive, which makes much more sense then wasting case space.
with hundred plus gigabyte flash drives and terabyte sized hard drives and ssds being so cheap nowadays, there's really no use for them anymore
@@fafiteee optical drives? Ripping your own CDs/DVDs cause Spotify region locking sucks (and I can't just VPN cause it's locked to payment method).
Got excited when I saw the thumbnail. Said out loud," IS THAT AN INITIAL D PC?". Although it raises the question.... How many people at LTT have actually watched the legendary anime known as Initial D?
The case looks waaay to cool to be a legit sleeper, but what an awesome build!
Yeah OEM stuff like the Dell G5 looks more sleeper than this. Love the final build though
Can't wait for "The Takumi" iteration of this quirky build!👍
Never thought I would say this but Linus is right. The 1:1 monitor and model M would of been superb with this build. Either way, I think the is a cracking build.
It would have been a very fitting setup.
You know what would be cool, if there was a racing game where the acceleration was linked to frame rate and that became a fun benchmark builders ran to see who could get the best lap time
I mean we had that one NFS once that locked its frame rate at 30 and ran double the speed when people pushed it to 60
Miss the old intro, but I’m glad we still get the little blurbs. I make sure to never miss them on any video. 👍🏽
Yesss, a sleeper intro 💀
Your team does amazing work, I have to say, you must be real proud to have put together such a great team. Alex, Anthony, and Luke are definitely your like minds. Linus, keep up the great work
Linus' emotion at the end... is so great. I LOVE YOU GUYS. U make my day since so many years...
Yeah, definitely not quite a sleeper if my first reaction is "What? Sony is making new Vaio computers?"
Looks super cool though.
Tbf, that Vaio case just looks too modern for its time that it doesn't look quite sleeper PC. Most sleepers PC case tend to have aesthetic that only reflects their era that is too dated to look it now. Thus Vaio case is so nice that seems timeless.
Pour one out for the old LTT intro song.
Goodnight, sweet prince 🕯
Bro it’s just for the Initial D reference chill
@@orcastrike7750 They are phasing out the old intro song. Said so on WAN Show
This is by far my favorite build you guys have ever done.
I love how Linus just knows the talking points without knowing who the sponsor was first. It's almost like they're a good sponsor or something lol
