I agree with Ed that the 5.25” bay is neat. Not for disc drives but you can put like a usb C port array, or more normal usbs, or memory card readers, etc. so many options!
first PC i ever built i knew nothing about cases so i just a got a big cheap one that looked kinda cool. nowadays its a monster case (bought late 2000's, pre tiny form factor) and it has like 8 easy access 5.25" drive bays, with additional drive bays in the bottom. ahha just remembered it has an angled slot on the top for a 'quick data swap' HD too. its not in use now, but its going to be a media center in the near future.

I love this series so much and would watch Linus do a million of these. Going to employees houses and criticizing them for their bad habits which include stealing from work. I also like the humanizing tone where Linus gives us a view of the people working behind the camera.

Linus should make a series where he just helps his friends and coworkers with random projects around the house! This is great content for some reason, and it's not just the tech.
So much shame and embarrassment, that only real friends can heap on each other... its beautiful to watch... He did open his house to the scrutiny of the internet so I think he dealt with it well :) Also those were definitely Ed's red shoes xxx
I saw the hats and IMMEDIATELY, I was like "Oh my God, he too!". Those hats are extremely comfortable, as I happen to own one (bit distressed from using it in the beach, but the distressing gives it character, I feel). Great content!
1st : Linus the Hat actually fits and looks great on you. 2nd: I think maybe you hit on something here. This could be like a tech reality side show for you guys. Like the shows that build and remodel homes but technology up grades for friends and deserving people. I really like this episode. Bringing what was started at work and bring it to "real world" home installs , up grades and giving back to the community kinda thing. Anyway. I really like this episode.
@@BananJumper why is that ? It's not like Linus and Camera crew just showed up unannounced . The the other guy knew he was getting the items because he ordered them. He knows what kind of guy his boss is because he is the longest existing employee of Linus. I mean no disrespect but , honestly your comment proves what I said about possibly a "reality show " could work well.
Edzel seems so kind and gentle. I like him so much! Especially when he was saying about the most important thing is if you are having fun and are happy.
Linus is like that cool manager that makes sure you're eating and will let you take stuff home. "I will volunteer to come and spend a weekend helping you with this." Even though he digs on his employees, he actually really cares.

23:13 - purple monitor Common problem on LCD monitors with LED backlights and high numbers of hours on them. The LEDs used are UV with a phosphor coating to convert the UV light to white light. The phosphor coating eventually wears out to the point where the UV bleeds through and the screen turns purple. While not a trivial fix, they can be fixed by replacing the backlight LEDs. If you're lucky, they're on a separate module that can be removed and replaced. I've had to replace LED backlights on Dell monitors, and you can keep them going for many more years. Though I prefer the older CCFL types because they're a lot easier to do.
@@GlorifiedGremlin You sound like a manufacturer anti-repair representative. SAFETY AND SECURITY DON'T OPEN YOUR DEVICE111oNe!!@@! IT R DANGEROUS. People DIY brake jobs on their cars and some states don't have vehicle inspections. Repairing a modern LCD/LED monitor is benign. The only "dangerous" part is the switching power supply board, and people deal with more dangerous things than that on a daily basis, like frayed extension cords.
I totally want Linus and his wife to make a home flipper tv show. Or something along the lines of that. It’s just so funny watching Linus go through other peoples houses.
Ok, this is my favorite upgrade video. It checks all the boxes: ✅stuff stolen from the office ✅Linus roasting employees over an open fire ✅a gpu that should've been broken but isn't ✅ Linus almost leveling an ikea desk ✅ stealing from children and crushing their dreams What more can you ask for?
The "tech tip" he said where you don't have to do things because others will do it for you when they are annoyed hits home to me...I always clean a few of my friends houses because they never do and it just annoys me looking at all their clutter and garbage.
I'd get them to clean it if they want to. Try teaching them to not throw things on the ground and have places for them. One item at a time ask them if its trash or where they want to put it. Get them to physically throw it out and organise it themselves. Teach them how to use a garbage can and how to throw garbage out properly. Tell them how much less work it can be to keep it clean and how much of an enjoyable space it can be for them/you and other people when organized and clean.
@@fricstix7072 who the hell wants your friend to come to your house and start teaching you about how to keep your house clean and then make you clean it
Dude. He's obviously kidding. If he wasn't, he wouldn't be comfortable showing it on video. Also, I don't think any employee would take anything important from the office anyway. Also, Linus Media Group is a corporation and company. If he makes money, a lot of money, and has influence enough to order tech from companies as a sponsorship deal, I don't see a problem with that. He's entertaining us, and making us more informative as well.
I think this is one of my favorite Extreme Tech Upgrade videos, second only to Dennis'! Very enjoyable and full of character. Hope this series continues!
Whenever I see them building in Edzel's kitchen I keep having to remember they're in his house and not on the LTT kitchen set. Seriously, I feel like the LTT kitchen is based on Edzel's kitchen lol.
I'm less concerned about the messy apartments in and of themselves, but the fact that they know Linus and a camera crew are coming and none of the LTT employees can be bothered to clean up beforehand.
they probably _did_ clean up a bit, but i mean, they probably wanted, or maybe even linus told them specifically to not clean up their households that much so that it looks more.... lived in and such, mostly for the video
It's for the content man! It'd be boring if every house looked clean and presentable, when we know that's never the case - some folks have meticulously clean rooms, and others have chaos in a bottle.
I love the camaraderie between the lmg staff. It's just nice to see ☺️ I have loved these extreme Intel take upgrades so far. I hope there are more coming!
Thanks, Linus! I bought a 65" LG C1 OLED 3 days ago and have been happily using it while having absolutely *no clue* that a peel even existed on the back until 25:37 ... I just got off the couch and peeled it!
These are always my favorite cus Linus says here's this free stuff Intel bought you but I get to rag on you, your house & life decisions, but here you go! Love seeing the stuff they get and them making linus do everything haha great stuff
It was fun seeing Ed in an LTT video again after such a long time. What a great guy. The way Linus dropped the toe spacer after realizing what it was tho
I don’t know who I’m more impressed with the most. The Edzel fact that Edzel has been able to put up with Linus or the fact that Edzel’s wife lets him live like this.
Linus with toe socks and sandals is on fleek. With that hat, I feel like he is about to start comparing knives or gpu sizes. My favorite part was the cat judging everything from the couch in the background while Linus was talking about judging the room.

Of course that's after "extensive research and analysis" and "for the sake of our creator's wellbeing"!

I agree with Ed that the 5.25” bay is neat. Not for disc drives but you can put like a usb C port array, or more normal usbs, or memory card readers, etc. so many options!
first PC i ever built i knew nothing about cases so i just a got a big cheap one that looked kinda cool. nowadays its a monster case (bought late 2000's, pre tiny form factor) and it has like 8 easy access 5.25" drive bays, with additional drive bays in the bottom. ahha just remembered it has an angled slot on the top for a 'quick data swap' HD too. its not in use now, but its going to be a media center in the near future.
Kudos to Ed's wife, tho. She actually has the energy to tolerate a tech hoarder as husband.
Helps if she's a tech nerd
She must be the same
As a guy who respects cleanliness I can say its a bit worse than tech hording... DID YOU SEE THAT BATHROOM wtf even was that ?
@@Modelo646 Yep. More than tech hoarding. But with their home like this, it must be both of them like this and like/don't mind stuff was all over the place, everywhere. On shelfs, floors. Everywhere!
Did you see the same bathroom I saw? That’s not hoarding for a hobby, that’s a lazy pigsty.
LMG employees: "I really need to clean out my office"
LMG writers: "Turn that shit into a videooooooooooooooo"
Linus: "Lit"
I love this series so much and would watch Linus do a million of these. Going to employees houses and criticizing them for their bad habits which include stealing from work. I also like the humanizing tone where Linus gives us a view of the people working behind the camera. You see their homes, wives/SO which can be very invasive and be a little scary to open that up to the public. I appreciate everyone is getting home upgrades for doing such great work behind the scenes
In America, everyone is fighting for their privacy rights, but its ok if you're given a free $10,000 upgrade. :)
@@schadenfreude6274 Also, I'm sure they are asked for consent and don't just barge in with a camera.
@@schadenfreude6274 I am a private person and would have angled to be called a nickname, wear a mask and to make sure there is nothing identifying if I worked for Linus. Maybe I wouldn't care after a while but I don't want to be a public figure
@@vampirefox7 in lmg they blur you if you appears in the video and not mentioning your name at all if you don't want to be identified, but you definitely are not getting an upgrade video :D
@@hoangminhnguyen4800 yes that. I would love the upgrade as long as I could wear a partial mask and not go by name. I don't mind seeing my home or anything like that but I wouldn't want any of the personal stuff besides that getting out there.
Linus should make a series where he just helps his friends and coworkers with random projects around the house! This is great content for some reason, and it's not just the tech.
I honestly hope Tarren gets one of these upgrades, just so I can see how many keyboards and stream decks he'll buy with it.
he already got one
@@jezusko I meant "more keyboards and stream decks"
@@jezusko no he didn’t
I think he wont upgrade anything, just spent 5k to buy more keyboards and stream decks
suprisingly, he's ultra responsible
the shot of both of them racing together in VR is weirdly adorable.
I think Linus just does this series to snoop on his employees to get his stolen property back

@@EMOTIONOGRAPHY lmfao, what kinda spam you just got
“Some people say, ‘it’s not the destination that matters, it’s the journey.’ And so far, this journey, is you being a dick.” -Ed. This is gold😂
Hands down one of the best things somebody could tell their boss. Lol
So much shame and embarrassment, that only real friends can heap on each other... its beautiful to watch... He did open his house to the scrutiny of the internet so I think he dealt with it well :) Also those were definitely Ed's red shoes xxx
Without any other context, just the shoes, especially the large amount of sneakers, I'd say he's gay.
He mentioned his wife multiple times.
@@graealex you don't need to be gay to own high heels as a man. You do you, my dude!
"longest standing employee"... give that man a chair finally, for gods sake
Isn't Ed the Editorial Manager?? He has his own office. I remember it from the last office tour.
@@studentrry3878 r/wooooosh
@@studentrry3878 wow... guess he had to steal or "borrow" the chair for that shot I guess.
You misunderstand, "longest standing employee" is the title given to the victor of the annual LMG standing competition.
Edzel and his wife look like a lot of fun. His and Her gaming setups including racing and VR is next level cool
Co-op VR is so great, especially zombie ones!
@@EdzelYago my wife gets motion sick from watching me race. She likes VR though, I should look into the quest
this is couple goals for gamers right here...
One might say Next Level Racing 😜
Even their cat is awesome.
I saw the hats and IMMEDIATELY, I was like "Oh my God, he too!". Those hats are extremely comfortable, as I happen to own one (bit distressed from using it in the beach, but the distressing gives it character, I feel). Great content!
1st : Linus the Hat actually fits and looks great on you. 2nd: I think maybe you hit on something here. This could be like a tech reality side show for you guys. Like the shows that build and remodel homes but technology up grades for friends and deserving people. I really like this episode. Bringing what was started at work and bring it to "real world" home installs , up grades and giving back to the community kinda thing. Anyway. I really like this episode.
I'd love this like pimp my ride meets extreme makeover home edition.
It's the HGTV and LTT crossover I've always wanted and never knew I did.
I think it would be awkward af
You know he's done like 15 of these right? Lol it sounds like this is the first one you've seen
@@BananJumper why is that ?
It's not like Linus and Camera crew just showed up unannounced . The the other guy knew he was getting the items because he ordered them. He knows what kind of guy his boss is because he is the longest existing employee of Linus.
I mean no disrespect but , honestly your comment proves what I said about possibly a "reality show " could work well.
@@deweyosborne928 i was talking about randoms or viewers. I cant watch anything that includes randoms like rog reboot etc.
Edzel seems so kind and gentle. I like him so much! Especially when he was saying about the most important thing is if you are having fun and are happy.
Linus is like that cool manager that makes sure you're eating and will let you take stuff home. "I will volunteer to come and spend a weekend helping you with this." Even though he digs on his employees, he actually really cares.
18:07 i’m glad linus and andy had the same reaction 😂
seeing the smiles on their faces when sitting next to each other in the driving sims honestly made the entire video for me. that shit was cute af
tip: that wimpy compressor can get up to 60psi... if you want it to be more versatile, get the one with a small tank. its worth the extra dollars, and for hobby painting, you get more consistent air supply so your spray is more even.
Yeah but the one with out the tank was cheaper
A leaf blower is pretty great for getting dust out
@@tristanlopez4807 if you don't mind the noise and whatever the leaf blower sucked in.
Can you provide a link? I never thought about a better option to buying the wasteful cans of compressed air.
23:13 - purple monitor
Common problem on LCD monitors with LED backlights and high numbers of hours on them. The LEDs used are UV with a phosphor coating to convert the UV light to white light. The phosphor coating eventually wears out to the point where the UV bleeds through and the screen turns purple.
While not a trivial fix, they can be fixed by replacing the backlight LEDs. If you're lucky, they're on a separate module that can be removed and replaced. I've had to replace LED backlights on Dell monitors, and you can keep them going for many more years. Though I prefer the older CCFL types because they're a lot easier to do.
Wow, thanks for the info! I don't think I'll ever try it but that really helped me to understand what happened.
You should also add that taking apart a monitor is incredibly dangerous and you shouldn't do it unless you're very knowledgeable lol
@@GlorifiedGremlin You sound like a manufacturer anti-repair representative.
SAFETY AND SECURITY DON'T OPEN YOUR DEVICE111oNe!!@@! IT R DANGEROUS.
People DIY brake jobs on their cars and some states don't have vehicle inspections.
Repairing a modern LCD/LED monitor is benign. The only "dangerous" part is the switching power supply board, and people deal with more dangerous things than that on a daily basis, like frayed extension cords.
wait is the uv stuff harmful without the coating? and is the coating itself harmful when not on the screen?
@@grqfes LEDs are UV-A. It's UV-B and UV-C that's harmful.
The real MVP of this video is the cat for making them get a couch.
Production Manager: "That's a toe spacer"
Linus: "A toe spacer?"
Linus:...
Linus: 😳
Not as bad as when I found my mom's silver bullet and didn't realize what it was.
Cat: :3
That got me rolling xD xD xD. i´m ded
Or a new cat toy
For once he dropped something on purpose.
Ed: My storage room isn't that far.
Me: Oh my god, there's a storage room?!
Linus: Oh my god, there's a storage room?!
Storage room: clean and organized
Rest of house: looks like a usual storage room
Andy is like a one man laugh track in this sitcom of an episode and I love it.
I totally want Linus and his wife to make a home flipper tv show. Or something along the lines of that. It’s just so funny watching Linus go through other peoples houses.
Imagine a Linus Media Group parody of 'The Office', when it zoomed on Linus's face at the beginning it reminded me so much of Michael Scott
Ok, this is my favorite upgrade video. It checks all the boxes:
✅stuff stolen from the office
✅Linus roasting employees over an open fire
✅a gpu that should've been broken but isn't
✅ Linus almost leveling an ikea desk
✅ stealing from children and crushing their dreams
What more can you ask for?
lmao
Maybe the office is a tech heaven, that's why Linus' employees always steal things from the office
Damm i agree 1000%!!
The "tech tip" he said where you don't have to do things because others will do it for you when they are annoyed hits home to me...I always clean a few of my friends houses because they never do and it just annoys me looking at all their clutter and garbage.
I'd get them to clean it if they want to. Try teaching them to not throw things on the ground and have places for them. One item at a time ask them if its trash or where they want to put it. Get them to physically throw it out and organise it themselves. Teach them how to use a garbage can and how to throw garbage out properly. Tell them how much less work it can be to keep it clean and how much of an enjoyable space it can be for them/you and other people when organized and clean.
It took my friend about a year to maintain a cleaner room and car.
I do that tooooo
@@fricstix7072 who the hell wants your friend to come to your house and start teaching you about how to keep your house clean and then make you clean it
can we be friends? 😝
Despite all the comments that was given to this video, it is just amazing that both Ed and Ed's wife can play together. The ending video was amazing
Linus: My employees are all thieves! Taking things from the office
Also Linus: Welcome to part 26 of upgrading my house with RUclips videos.
Also Linus: sells old company inventory to employees for cheap
Dude. He's obviously kidding. If he wasn't, he wouldn't be comfortable showing it on video. Also, I don't think any employee would take anything important from the office anyway. Also, Linus Media Group is a corporation and company. If he makes money, a lot of money, and has influence enough to order tech from companies as a sponsorship deal, I don't see a problem with that. He's entertaining us, and making us more informative as well.
He loves tax write offs
@Asian G R I L S • © no
@@studentrry3878 I know he's kidding. He obviously doesn't care. I'm just poking fun at him.
Props to the editors and the cameraman for cutting away to the kitty at regular intervals. Truly the best part of the video.
you can tell they've been working together for a LONG time, with the rash banter that goes back and forth.
These are so much fun to watch thank LTT
as someone who works in production, has ADHD, stores things in piles and has tinnitus. his home makes sense to me
This was fun and really cute seeing Ed and his wife playing together at the end ❤️
With them hats!!!
"Could Linus just find someone who's NOT a total bastard to give an upgrade to?"
Lol
Absolutely savage
19:08 the cat is looking at Ed like "who are these people in my domain and why are they here?"
I think this is one of my favorite Extreme Tech Upgrade videos, second only to Dennis'! Very enjoyable and full of character. Hope this series continues!
He begins the episode by saying this is madness while wearing a cowboyhat
I legitimately thought Linus was on the old kitchen set for a second when he started building the nephew's PC..
Ed took the whole set home
@@popenieafantome9527 Ed lives in the set
Cuz it is an old kitchen set, stolen from office
19:11 the cat is staring into my soul
Whenever I see them building in Edzel's kitchen I keep having to remember they're in his house and not on the LTT kitchen set.
Seriously, I feel like the LTT kitchen is based on Edzel's kitchen lol.
It is, in part because Ed's kitchen and the original Langley kitchen are very similar.
Yes, but the LTT kitchen is at least clean....now
Honestly since Ed is the production manager and probably helped design both kitchens… maybe!
@@TankerMan3000 Yvonne dose almost all of the set designing.
when i first saw it i was like why did u leave the house to build the pc
"Is it too late to get Anthony here?" - the takeover is proceeding smoother than expected
I'm less concerned about the messy apartments in and of themselves, but the fact that they know Linus and a camera crew are coming and none of the LTT employees can be bothered to clean up beforehand.
they probably _did_ clean up a bit, but i mean, they probably wanted, or maybe even linus told them specifically to not clean up their households that much so that it looks more.... lived in and such, mostly for the video
@@awesomestuff9715 Lived in, I guess. Hardly organized, I'm certain.
honestly this could be my home... its not that bad tho
It's for the content man! It'd be boring if every house looked clean and presentable, when we know that's never the case - some folks have meticulously clean rooms, and others have chaos in a bottle.
Something I learnt from an old WAN: when Linus first met Edzel, Edzel's business card had "not a serial killer" in small print on the reverse.
I love the camaraderie between the lmg staff. It's just nice to see ☺️ I have loved these extreme Intel take upgrades so far. I hope there are more coming!
I really want a second video of Linus cleaning up this house and organizing things. How bad can we make Linus's anxiety? Plus Ed is just awesome.
I really hope LTT has enough staff to keep this show running forever
If he needs more staff, I volunteer
Same
Soo nice to see someone on the team into simracing! Assetto Corsa, nice!
I love seeing this series because seeing how other LTT staff live makes my place seem so tidy and neat. Now i'm gonna go dust off my computer.
Linus: Don't clean your room for the next 4 weeks
His Employees: WE GETTING A TECH UPGRADE
Employee: Wife, rent a storage unit!
Thanks, Linus! I bought a 65" LG C1 OLED 3 days ago and have been happily using it while having absolutely *no clue* that a peel even existed on the back until 25:37 ... I just got off the couch and peeled it!
2:37 MASSIVE RESPECT FOR MEGUIARS ULTRA FINE FINISHING POLISH GANG
"you dont have to do things if other people will do them for you because it annoys them" Ed is a fountain of procrastination wisdom.
These are always my favorite cus Linus says here's this free stuff Intel bought you but I get to rag on you, your house & life decisions, but here you go! Love seeing the stuff they get and them making linus do everything haha great stuff
I love his cat cameo's so ambivalent to it all.
That shot of Ed and his wife in their racing seats, headsets and hats engaged...relationship goals right there 👍
Commenter here, I would critique his house if my room didn't look the exact same. It's not disorganized, it's controlled chaos
These are always the best videos. Linus judges everyone and he finds all of the stolen office items! Then maybe he actually upgrades their setup…
@agapp11able 100%
It was fun seeing Ed in an LTT video again after such a long time. What a great guy.
The way Linus dropped the toe spacer after realizing what it was tho
21:47 when Linus snaked his hands saying “ohh I’m getting anxiety” I spat out my water XD
I don’t know who I’m more impressed with the most. The Edzel fact that Edzel has been able to put up with Linus or the fact that Edzel’s wife lets him live like this.
24:00 the cat straight up brought it back
Linus when he realises that his employees are just selling stuff that they don’t own to each other:
Linus with toe socks and sandals is on fleek. With that hat, I feel like he is about to start comparing knives or gpu sizes.
My favorite part was the cat judging everything from the couch in the background while Linus was talking about judging the room.
