I had one of these wacky clear cases once. It was probably a lot different than this because this was back in like 2010 or so. It was my first ever gaming pc, my friend and his dad were super into it and they were nice enough to give me some extra use able parts they had and help me find all the right parts and build my pc. They had this clear acrylic case, it was huge and super heavy but we had blue led set up in there and it actually looked pretty sick for back then. It was also a total tank, no wobble at all. It was actually a very good case. I have no clue where the thing came from, there was no branding or anything like that on it. One day I wanna find a good quality clear case again and build an homage to that first rig

@@cream9292 Probably more to do with the 12 volt rail only having 32 amps on it. a 1000 watt psu should have around 83-85 amps on the 12 volt rail. So basically as soon as Linus did anything with the GPU and most likely the CPU as well under any load would trip the PSU causing it to fail to give the needed amps required by the system. That 32 amps most likely means that psu actually can push at most 350 watts to 375 watts only.

Or if you do, you find a way to plug it on a 240V outlet. We have those in Canada for bigger appliances. The only difference would be 60Hz vs 50Hz but most device will not have an issue with that.
@@cedricpomerleau5586 Yeah you could probably make a connector for that and it really wouldn't take that long. But if its the same as the us you'll have to unplug your stove or dryer if you don't have any other plugs.
@@cedricpomerleau5586 Not to be funny, but I bought Universal Outlets years ago from AliExpress so my workbench has 120/240 and plugs for any appliance around the world.. the only time the 60Hz was an issue was a vintage computer that used the 50Hz as a clock source and video sync... but that was resolved eventually.
I am using $8 aliexpress mouse for a year. Previously I was playing on razer krait, deathadder, SS kana. The aliexpress one is better, cheaper and looks perfect.
market option and inventory saturation~ A lot of second hands that goes pretty low for these components. But in developing countries, it is still expensive because of retail price vs cost of live/wage disparity.
wouldve been fun to see you replace the parts that failed one by one til you got an actual working build. Personally really curious about the SSD and the GPU lol.
The PSU is obvious crap. The GPU is fine as colorful is actually a decent brand. The SSD is dram less, which is not good considering the price and it's nvme, not to mention the bad English, but SSD manufacturing is hard to screw up to the point of unreliability
artwork is actually done by brock hofer you can google him he has a website with all his artwork but yea them selling this mousepad is definitely illegal
i had like a 340 watt psu and when i came to give it to my homie it fried after a switch accidentaly got switched from 240 v too 115 v. Thankfully his pc was fine.
Now I am 57 years old and found this video because I wanted to know more about AliExpress it seems if you know what you are doing you can be successful on ordering items from there I admire you guys and your generation for being able to put together computers and electronic items it’s 2021 and 15 years ago with some minor guidance I was able to order all the parts online and assemble a PC that was pretty fast and high tech for it’s day I had some old parts I had pulled out of my older computers that I knew I could save a couple of bucks on like Ram and some small things many items I used were plug and play that helped me and a buddy of mine who was a gamer came over to supervise my physical assembly plus he basically wanted to check out some of the parts I got
@@iv0rye nah, if you buy e.g. 12600k, 3080, 980 pro, - u'll get exactly what you've ordered. I guess for americans or british people there is zero point to order well-known parts from Ali (since newegg and cu and other fancy sites exist), so your point is that if u order cheap shit from Ali - u mostly receive cheap shit, yeah? That's humour for me, man. Btw here in Russia we are not considered as humans anymore by western shops, so we get all the goodies from Ali (just received a nice rig myself from Ali this month. No noname shit, lol).
Agreed, but these parts were pretty cheap i mean 500$ for these? And if we used a bad looking case with good air vents and a less fancy parts i think it will go less than 500 (well, if we forgot the GPU) i guess i will depend on well known Chinese parts in my next build.
9:28 I wrote this lately, but I saw this now. The 12V rail provides only 32A, which only produces 384W on 12V rail. When I calculated other rails too, the PSU only produces approximately 500W power which is no close to advertised 1000W. So, that's why computer is rebooted on 13:25 , 13:52 and 14:14 .

@Alex: Just a tip for peeling off paper or any protective foil from acrylic: Soak it in water! It will come off almost by itself after a minute. I got a ton of decade old acrylic for free where the plastic foil has fractured into thousand pieces. It was virtually impossible to peel all those tiny pieces off one after the other while not getting scratches on the Acrylic. But luckily the LDPE Foil soaks up water quite fast, as all plastics do. Not by much, but as you know, humidity can be a problem with 3d filaments as well as lead to warping of plastic sheets. I usually let them soak for 15minutes and then brush it off.
Don’t say that or they’ll do the same thing that they did last time when they had a 240V product. They took an adapter that goes from 240V with neutral to two 120V plugs and said : hey, now we got 240V. No Linus, you still got 120V. If you only take one phase with the neutral, it’s 120V... They were lucky that somehow that TV still worked on 120V... Please LTT ask Brian to make you a REAL 120V plug with 240V in it so you can test that kind of things.
@@cedricpomerleau5586 this is called transformer, they are common in Brazil because every city has a different voltage for final user (127V or 220V). Some places you have both, as where I live.
@@VitorFM Each city having a different Voltage sounds pretty bad. They are used in a lot of places, because the long-distance electrical grid is on a higher voltage then the end use one (20kV or up). Also things like microwaves have them inside, because they need a very high voltage to funktion. With the equipment they have, they could actually build one themselves, that transforms the correct way.
@@cedricpomerleau5586 you can combine combine two 120v plugs into a 240v plug as long as they are on seperate legs of the 240v supply thats enters the breaker box.....all north american households have 240v that is then split. thats why clothes dryer, furnaces, water heaters etc. are run on 240v. Im an electrician btw.
firecrow 797 Yeah I know that don’t worry, I’m an electrical engineer in Quebec. Hello from another province ! I’m not saying it’s impossible, I’m just saying they don’t know what they’re doing. The one time they showed us how "they got 240V", they just used a splitter that splits a 240V outlet to two 120V ones and then plugged the TV into one of those outlets. So they only got 120V out of that. (Those adapters are common with stuff like generators, you get a long cable that plugs in the 240V plug of the generator and two 120V plugs on the other end, each running on the two different phases. That requires a 240V plug with a neutral though.)
Agreed. I have one 120mm single fan variant cooling a XEON E5-1650V2 (6C/12T, OC to 4.3 Ghz) and another dual fan cooling an E5-2678V3 (12C/24T with all core TU to 3.3Ghz). These Air Coolers are excellent value and do a terrific job up to 160W TDP. However, I am only using the 120mm fan variants with 6 pipes. Not the cheap 90mm coolers that have used "SNOWMAN" name to confuse the buyer. Mine all came with mounting accessories for both INTEL and AMD. Also, the wiring was clean and well done, including the dual fan variant. Whatever Linus bought...not my experience as far as the wiring is concerned.
"there is no reason to buy these parts on ali,cause you can get them at the same price or cheaper in the common local websites" me: *Laughs in thirdworldcountry*
if the world gonna end i'm sure that linus will pull a classic "end of the world build", and then "a scrapyard build" or a "a pc build but with two heads and 41 finger"
How would you call me? I cheaped out on the case, so it's flimsy and doesn't have a shroud for the PSU (but it's wide enough to fit a massive noctua cooler for the CPU). But my Seasonic PSU is fully modular! So, no shroud + modular PSU
I'm still mad that they blamed the PSU for shutting off when it could've been the fact it requires 170-240 input voltage and they might have been using a 120v socket.
Thats a good point they probably didn't notice that since China runs 240v service compared to how most North America runs split phase 240v so their plugs in that room would only have 120v
I actually like the fact that the laser etching ended up backwards.
It fits the whole theme so much better. Somehow.
I thought that was the most aliexpress thing on this build, and it wasnt even aliexpress :D
@Lasse Lempäälä they etched it themselves
And if all else fails, they can still swap the side panels I think.
I kinda just figured he put it on backwards
Aren't they just on the wrong sides?
I know it wouldn't look as good, but if they switched the side panels, wouldn't they fit?
That power supply won't work in Canada because Canada uses 120 V mains. The sticker at 9:27 says it needs at least 170 V.
oof 170-240V. Normally electronics are like 100-240 V or something so it works for both 220 V and 110 V.
Good catch

@@notmilkzanymore3025 9:27 the sticker says 170-240volts, while the Canadian standard is 120
so its a brown out
@@cream9292 Probably more to do with the 12 volt rail only having 32 amps on it. a 1000 watt psu should have around 83-85 amps on the 12 volt rail. So basically as soon as Linus did anything with the GPU and most likely the CPU as well under any load would trip the PSU causing it to fail to give the needed amps required by the system.
That 32 amps most likely means that psu actually can push at most 350 watts to 375 watts only.

@@iv0rye nah, if you buy e.g. 12600k, 3080, 980 pro, - u'll get exactly what you've ordered. I guess for americans or british people there is zero point to order well-known parts from Ali (since newegg and cu and other fancy sites exist), so your point is that if u order cheap shit from Ali - u mostly receive cheap shit, yeah? That's humour for me, man. Btw here in Russia we are not considered as humans anymore by western shops, so we get all the goodies from Ali (just received a nice rig myself from Ali this month. No noname shit, lol).
Agreed, but these parts were pretty cheap i mean 500$ for these? And if we used a bad looking case with good air vents and a less fancy parts i think it will go less than 500 (well, if we forgot the GPU) i guess i will depend on well known Chinese parts in my next build.

9:28 I wrote this lately, but I saw this now. The 12V rail provides only 32A, which only produces 384W on 12V rail.

@Alex: Just a tip for peeling off paper or any protective foil from acrylic: Soak it in water! It will come off almost by itself after a minute.
I got a ton of decade old acrylic for free where the plastic foil has fractured into thousand pieces. It was virtually impossible to peel all those tiny pieces off one after the other while not getting scratches on the Acrylic. But luckily the LDPE Foil soaks up water quite fast, as all plastics do. Not by much, but as you know, humidity can be a problem with 3d filaments as well as lead to warping of plastic sheets. I usually let them soak for 15minutes and then brush it off.

Fun Fact: China 220v Canada 120V
Don’t say that or they’ll do the same thing that they did last time when they had a 240V product.
They took an adapter that goes from 240V with neutral to two 120V plugs and said : hey, now we got 240V. No Linus, you still got 120V. If you only take one phase with the neutral, it’s 120V... They were lucky that somehow that TV still worked on 120V...
Please LTT ask Brian to make you a REAL 120V plug with 240V in it so you can test that kind of things.
@@cedricpomerleau5586 this is called transformer, they are common in Brazil because every city has a different voltage for final user (127V or 220V). Some places you have both, as where I live.
@@VitorFM Each city having a different Voltage sounds pretty bad.
They are used in a lot of places, because the long-distance electrical grid is on a higher voltage then the end use one (20kV or up). Also things like microwaves have them inside, because they need a very high voltage to funktion.
With the equipment they have, they could actually build one themselves, that transforms the correct way.
@@cedricpomerleau5586 you can combine combine two 120v plugs into a 240v plug as long as they are on seperate legs of the 240v supply thats enters the breaker box.....all north american households have 240v that is then split. thats why clothes dryer, furnaces, water heaters etc. are run on 240v. Im an electrician btw.
firecrow 797 Yeah I know that don’t worry, I’m an electrical engineer in Quebec. Hello from another province !
I’m not saying it’s impossible, I’m just saying they don’t know what they’re doing. The one time they showed us how "they got 240V", they just used a splitter that splits a 240V outlet to two 120V ones and then plugged the TV into one of those outlets. So they only got 120V out of that.
(Those adapters are common with stuff like generators, you get a long cable that plugs in the 240V plug of the generator and two 120V plugs on the other end, each running on the two different phases. That requires a 240V plug with a neutral though.)

These Air Coolers are excellent value and do a terrific job up to 160W TDP. However, I am only using the 120mm fan variants with 6 pipes. Not the cheap 90mm coolers that have used "SNOWMAN" name to confuse the buyer. Mine all came with mounting accessories for both INTEL and AMD. Also, the wiring was clean and well done, including the dual fan variant. Whatever Linus bought...not my experience as far as the wiring is concerned.
