This might be the most cost effective and sane $5000 tech upgrade. Like she got a huge variety of very useful things on top of the PC upgrades, even a bunch of art supplies on top of it.
Sarah's setup is actually the first one where the choice of every single component feels like it's been carefully thought out, both by itself and related to the other elements of the build. Nothing is out of place and she got so much stuff out of that 5k check. Kudos to her!
Arlo seems like a pretty cool cat, except, he doesn't match the black and white aesthetic, so he either needs a makeover or a replacement cat should be ordered online.
At this point where LTT has so many employeesI think this show will never end because as soon as everybody has a setup the first setups are already outdated and its starting all over again^^
Her on-screen persona has been established as 'clueless girl given ridiculously expensive tech for thrills and laughs' and thankfully she's comfortable enough in her own skin to not only allow that flawed image to be used for profit, but for her own laughs as well. Nicely done!
@@hippieduck Honestly she comes across as very intelligent and grounded. She has a great sense of humor that shows her ability to look at herself from a third person perspective and poke fun at herself (enough so to literally have Linus shook which is fucking hilarious), and also shows humility and self confidence. Cool person all around, 10/10 would hire.
Dude she was extremely smart with her money and hands-down got the most bang-for-the-buck of all the Intel makeovers. Also love the tech/apt aesthetic.
@@n9ne why would it be sarcastic? she got a high-quality setup that fits every single one of her personal & professional needs. and even had money for stuff like art supplies and merch that she had been wanting to get. my immediate impression was the same as OP's: extremely well budgeted and she got a LOT of stuff.
Tbh, I believed her. I legit wondered how they planned on filling the other 25min with content. That she actually spent the money on PC parts was not even a possibility in my mind.
It's not like she can't be professional, but I love that this attitude towards Linus isn't a bit, she's always been that way, since her first video with LTT
I think Sarah's so far has been the most complete tech upgrade overall, she hit all the bases, and had enough left over to accessorize her workspace. This one has been the best episode so far for me.
I love how you can tell how much more comfortable she is in front of the camera now. One of my favorite things about this channel is just seeing how the staff adapts to being on camera all the time. remember she was hired as a graphic designer
Sarah officially has the cutest cat in the world. way too dang fluffy in all the senses, beautiful fur coat, gorgeous eyes, she is so lucky to have a cat that purrfect.

i love the kind of relationship that Linus have with all of his employes, from a company stand point we often forget that all of those people are tecnically ''at work'', and at least here were i live in Italy, is actually pretty hard to keep friendship separated from work, especially when there's money involved is really hard. And you can say that all of these guys are really in good relationship with each others, BIG kudos to Linus and all the people there!
Sarah i have to say that Arlo checks all of the "Cat" boxes. Lay out on the only available chair? Check. Inspect everything that's opened? Check. Climb in the box? Check. Lay on the floor showing everyone your belly? Check. Steal as much camera time as you can? Check. Truly an exemplary example of the species. I was really happy to see that you were finally getting the Intel Upgrade. Congrats. I also noticed that Linus found no items stolen from LTT making you his only honest employee.
10:58 I like how he reminds and makes a mention of how she was the designer of the stickers when she herself didn’t think to self insert. Linus really appreciates his employees.
The funny thing is, with what people have spent the $5K on in the past, Sarah could have quite conceivably have spent $4K on Starbutts. Good for pulling Linus's leg, Sarah.
The Mic boom being mounted on the right side of the table makes good sense. Prevents a monitor screen from getting broken by the Mic accidentally swinging into it. 👍🙂
That is the first one with everything being reasonable and well planned. As a music producer I really like the choice of going universial audio. The volt 1 is actually in an acceptable price range. Thats not something you can say about their other interfaces that are very top of the line and insanely expensive. Rode mic arm is pretty awesome as well. Nothing sucks as much as a cheap mic arm.
That's what I thought it! Pretty nice choice of Audio Equipment! For Streaming more than enough and with enough Headroom for future projects, if needed.
Some of the people don't seem super into the tech side of this but she absolutely owned it. She knew what she wanted and needed and went for it. As someone who 3d designs way more than they game, i love that she showed tech for more than just gaming
Agreed - needs to keep going, these are too good. Getting to know the LTT crew makes it 10000x better. Should do some spouse makeovers, along those lines, maybe some LTT employee kids - would be cool to see some crazy kid tech that I never had.
Sarah has come a long way since the days of holding the motherboard upside down and shaking it repeatedly to confirm secure placement of all components 🤣 She's awesome!
Honestly considering a high end Custom board can cost like a 1000$ (to like 2-3K for the limited edition crap) alone for just the case Well If he decided to go all out I'm certain less than half of the money will be left for rest of the rig
I wonder if Taran is gonna be one of those pragmatic people (like myself) that get an ergonomic mesh chair instead of a heavily-cushioned gaming chair. I'm personally eyeing the Ergotune Supreme, the Martiangear Starfighter, or a used fabric-mesh Herman Miller Mirra 2.
This is probably the most wholistic and well thought-out intel tech upgrade. Ik the budget is high at $5000, but the stuff kept coming and it all matched and was all purposeful and intentional… I would have an aneurysm trying to plan something this thoroughly
Tbh I never like the videos as much when Anthony is there. He's too competent. With Linus it feels like no matter what he's doing there's always a distinct chance it might explode
she gets nervous on camera, I remember her mentioning that in a shortcircuit video. her heart rate just jumps up. probably why she doesn't appear too much.
definately the best goals shown in her choices. Knows what she wants in her pc (and asthetics is fine if you know what you want) plus what other personal items were worth getting.
@18:06 I gasp'd IRL Edit: 100% agree the setup looks comfy, and everything having a storyful meaning makes it that much cooler. Thanks for sharing. (the RODE mic arm and PC swap at the end was trippy)
Sarah has probably got the most well thought upgrade so far. No unnecessary frills. No RTX 3080s. Everything is practical and perfect for gaming and graphic designing. You can tell she put a lot of thought into it (besides the color choice).
A bit dissapointing for graphics card when it comes to bang for her buck as she got a 3060 and not a 3060ti which would have made a huge difference for a slight cost increase
lol, that fluff ball is super friendly, keeps getting involved every chance he gets - most cats are like "there's a lotta noise in that room, I'm gonna go to sleep in another room." That's a pretty solid looking setup. From the aesthetics to the parts choices and everything, for 5k, some really top notch stuff. Good choices all around. Can't really criticize anything there. Double thumbs up and the build looks hella clean.
@@r3toun If you do it a lot they probably are used to it and get curious. They are very curious creatures, after all. If you don't do it often, then just very lucky. Most cats are gone when somebody turns on a dremel, they have very sensitive hearing, the dremel is concert levels of loud to them.
I have to say that is some of the best spent money on this series ever in my personal opinion. Such a nicely balanced set of stuff, a lot of details, personal items and just right for the usecase without wasting money or going completely overboard. It's just nicely done, good job!
i just built my first pc, and the last two ltt tech upgrades ive watched (this one and another) both used the pc case i bought. its such a nice case. i really love it.
Yeah because she didn't waste like $2000 on an overpriced GPU lol. People sometimes forget about efficiency when they suddenly get handed a bunch of cash, but...well it's their loss. You could have traded that +10% in specific gaming FPS for like a bunch of other hardware upgrades.
I think besides Dennis, this is probably one of the most awaited tech upgrades as i am really curious on what an Artist (creative) will spend all that money. P.S. I really enjoyed Riley just because you know.. it's Riley. Anthony's no brainer - he's just loveable as a human being and i really liked how he tried to use this as an opportunity to help him in his personal goals.
I am so happy about this. I love her in all her showings. Absolute show stealer energy. And the sound editing and music volume leveling was *on-point* - so great!
As someone who is both an artist and gamer myself, I completely understand the want for new art supplies, drawing tablet and the focus on style. Though honestly, I would get so much second hand shit to stretch the budget it would make your head spin. Also would want to put a couple bucks into savings, if that's allowed.
If this upgrade has taught me something, it is that Linus is confirmed more of a cat person. In past upgrade videos, doggos were ignored. But Arlo got a lot of attention in this video.
Think this is my favorite upgrade so far, everything was chosen with gusto and making the best out of those 5 grands, even with the non-tech/PC-specific stuff. Sarah is always fun to watch and the chemistry was excellent. Also, lots of cat screentime 10/10
Its actually really refreshing to hear someone not necessarily in the tech side of LTT knowing their stuff and not really having anything for a weird reason. Stayed under budget enough to pick up to extra bits that complimented everything else - nice!
The camaraderie between Sarah and Linus and the cat’s antics made me laugh out loud several times during this video. Excellent work! 1:47 Bold of him to assume it would last 10 months given how addictive and costly their drinks are, haha
Agreed, I almost never watch videos this long but Sarah and Linus have a very good presence together on camera. Love (and am jealous of) the set up, too!
Yay, was looking forward to Sarah's and see how she would design it. Didn't disappoint, it turned out really well! And of course, always love her enthusiasm too! One my favorite series at LTT.
I love Sarah's energy. Videos with her are always fun. And as a designer myself, i totaly love the choices she made in her tech upgrade. haha. merch and art supplies are very important XD
The "Really weird yellow" color for those stickers most likely means they're glow in the dark. Shine a flashlight on them for 30 seconds and then turn the lights out.
Probably the most entertaining of all the extreme tech upgrade segments. Sarah is a hoot, but she really has come a long way into the pc master race world.
She's incredibly charismatic. Started to notice that when she appeared on carpool critics (god the name they changed it to sucks. they need to bring it back to CPC.)
Sarah definitely brings a huge amount of energy to the episodes she's on. Maybe it's that 4k worth of Starbucks lol. Really enjoyed this extreme tech upgrade!
Yeah, I have the next generation of that motherboard, and it is a very heavy motherboard. By far the heaviest of the 3 computers I have built in the last couple years.
Linus has created one of the best places to work at. The staff are clearly hardworking but also very comfortable and having a great time. Congrats on the upgrade Sarah and thank you Intel for the sponsorship.
The growth of Sarah in front of the camera has been awesome to see. She volleys so well with Linus and brings such a funny energy, now with a power confidence seen in the first amazing joke ahha
This is the 2nd Sarah video I've watched: I've gotta say that she has such a good energy and she has brightened my day, and she's great fun in videos with Linus... they couldn't be more different but well matched to make us viewers smile.
On a strictly technical point, if you buy enough LTT store merch to deck your gaming room, you can legitimately say that a good part of it was designed by the one and only Sarah Butt (and many other talented people working there)!
Ok, I love Sarah's kitchen! It's so nice! The bottes lined up blends really well with the lighting's color temperature, which also meshes really well with the color of the cabinets.
Clear difference between the art and the tech team: art goes fo overall concept and works good enough, tech goes for highest numbers they never max out and some staple style points if design is relevant at all. Sarah really made the most out of her upgrade and also she built her setup with intent, she knew exactly what she is going to use it for. Also, very fun person in general
As a tech guy I feel attacked. Hey man so what if I won't use all of my 128GB or 64GB of RAM. The numbers look cool and I MIGHT use it once every blue moon........maybe.
This might be the most cost effective and sane $5000 tech upgrade. Like she got a huge variety of very useful things on top of the PC upgrades, even a bunch of art supplies on top of it.
Rather than wasting hundreds and hundreds of dollars on extra graphics potential that will never be used, very nice job indeed
What about Dennis
@@wrnlb666 did you see is sign lol
Live Laugh Liao is still the best upgrade
No Upgrades for Arlo. What a Monster!
Sarah's setup is actually the first one where the choice of every single component feels like it's been carefully thought out, both by itself and related to the other elements of the build. Nothing is out of place and she got so much stuff out of that 5k check. Kudos to her!
Well, men tend to be like... " That, that, that, that... We will figure it out later ", in general.
The budget goes a lot farther without the 3080s and oled tv’s that everyone has been getting haha. Cool to see a different setup
Just designer things.
Yeah totaly agree. She took the W all the way

@UnjustifiedRecs the perfect loop doesn't exi--😶

Quote from so called "April Fool 2020"
"Why do you think LMG has so many staff? We make youtube videos, that doesn't take 30 people."
That would be a nice job perk. $5000 every couple of years to upgrade your home office.
Exactly
Arlo's performance in this short film is legendary, and he's now my favorite character from Lmg.
He's even credited in the end credits.
Hail to Arlo!
I need an Arlo cut to show my wife
Truly a starlo. 🌟
It's so refreshing to see an extreme tech upgrade where the budget isn't blown on one graphics card
Or a welder
or "personal massagers" DENIS!
@@mikus5521 I liked the welder, why spend money on PC hardware that you can steal from work when you could just get a super nice welder.
Puts into perspective just how much $4k can buy you.
Or a HEDT/server/workstation CPU
The fact that it's believable that she'd get a 4k Starbucks card is just as scary as the idea she did it
She doesn't seem to be the type of person to troll. So it hits you when you least expect it.

The cat interfering with everything is my favorite. Also, the dynamic between Linus and Sarah here is awesome.

I gotta say, Sarah wins this one. This is one of the best 5k builds I've seen so far.
@Tiago Yeah it really is lovely to watch, glad she chose tight pants for this shoot, looking out for all of us down bad guys

Sooo true
she is a little bit......"fast"....there is a tiny tiny bit of adhd inside her^^...maybe!! its ok!

I love how Linus constantly gets distracted by the cat. That'd totally happen to me too.
The cat is the very definition of distracting. So pretty & fluffy.
Arlo Tech Tips plz
camera was getting distracted too
I would never have finished building that computer.
Sarah has probably got the most well thought upgrade so far. No unnecessary frills. No RTX 3080s. Everything is practical and perfect for gaming and graphic designing. You can tell she put a lot of thought into it (besides the color choice).
since its white she didnt put a lot of thought into it? dont be a douche
Completely agree
You think she's in the lead for stretching her dollar the farthest? She got SO MUCH STUFF with her upgrade!
A bit dissapointing for graphics card when it comes to bang for her buck as she got a 3060 and not a 3060ti which would have made a huge difference for a slight cost increase
lol, that fluff ball is super friendly, keeps getting involved every chance he gets - most cats are like "there's a lotta noise in that room, I'm gonna go to sleep in another room." That's a pretty solid looking setup. From the aesthetics to the parts choices and everything, for 5k, some really top notch stuff. Good choices all around. Can't really criticize anything there. Double thumbs up and the build looks hella clean.
especially the $4000 starbucks gift card
never had a cat that stayed out of the way so can't vouch for that
@@r3toun A lot of cats get annoyed when there's too much noise, especially if it's coming from strangers.
@@MrSlowestD16 Yeah people keep saying that, yet every cat i had wants to watch me work with the dremel tool etc.
@@r3toun If you do it a lot they probably are used to it and get curious. They are very curious creatures, after all. If you don't do it often, then just very lucky. Most cats are gone when somebody turns on a dremel, they have very sensitive hearing, the dremel is concert levels of loud to them.
As a graphic designer myself I am a huge fan of Sarah and her work. You go girl! Also that plushy is so cute! Need
Thailand
This was one of the top Intel upgrades I’ve seen. Loved that prank on Linus and the set up! Good stuff Sarah!
@ParasPlay Gaming Well, erm... Its Minecraft and Steam games and Apex
I have to say that is some of the best spent money on this series ever in my personal opinion. Such a nicely balanced set of stuff, a lot of details, personal items and just right for the usecase without wasting money or going completely overboard. It's just nicely done, good job!
I think this was the one we were all waiting for lol. I know Sarah's not one of the on-camera personalities, but she's always such a delight.
It's like a special treat when she does present
i just built my first pc, and the last two ltt tech upgrades ive watched (this one and another) both used the pc case i bought. its such a nice case. i really love it.
This one was great fun, love Arlo. He's already claimed that chair though, Sarah's going to need another one
I just love how Sarah and Jake have twin cats! (?)
My cat steals my chair all the time so I'm kind of in the same boat as her.
yeah thats one big ass cat lol.
It's Arlo's world. We just live in it.
I got two cats and they bounce between a guest chair and my lap when I am home. When I am not they take both chairs.
Honestly, Sarah’s tech upgrade is probably one of, if not the best bang for the buck/ efficient build yet
Yeah because she didn't waste like $2000 on an overpriced GPU lol. People sometimes forget about efficiency when they suddenly get handed a bunch of cash, but...well it's their loss. You could have traded that +10% in specific gaming FPS for like a bunch of other hardware upgrades.
Really well thought out
@@lekhakaananta5864 don't forget the absent of a neon light that says "live laugh liao" too, that definitely made her upgrade more efficient
Totally agree
You’re just saying that, just because shes a female!
I think besides Dennis, this is probably one of the most awaited tech upgrades as i am really curious on what an Artist (creative) will spend all that money. P.S. I really enjoyed Riley just because you know.. it's Riley. Anthony's no brainer - he's just loveable as a human being and i really liked how he tried to use this as an opportunity to help him in his personal goals.
Art is expensive, you can spend 2.5k on an art tablet alone
Was hoping for a huge neon
“LIVE LAUGH BUTT”
@@alex0589 i think it should've been
LIVE & LAUGH BUT(T) LOVE
Linus jumpscaring the cat at 11:33 is amazing
I am so happy about this. I love her in all her showings. Absolute show stealer energy. And the sound editing and music volume leveling was *on-point* - so great!
The "live, laugh liao" lamp, is still the best investment of this series!😂
I love how absolutely every member of LTT is so unique, these videos are joy to watch!
so why is the toilet lid up.. does Sarah have a powerful skill she hides from us?
Every person in the world is unique.
@@RandomUser2401 you raise the toilet seat when you clean it
@@lightly-red-huedmaleindivi6266 why would she do that during Linus‘ visit?
@@RandomUser2401 why not?
As someone who is both an artist and gamer myself, I completely understand the want for new art supplies, drawing tablet and the focus on style. Though honestly, I would get so much second hand shit to stretch the budget it would make your head spin. Also would want to put a couple bucks into savings, if that's allowed.
Sarah is my favourite person from LTT. She's hilarious. Always a fun video when you incorporate her.
IKR, when Linus drop things within minutes, Sarah comes in and drops him in a minute.
If this upgrade has taught me something, it is that Linus is confirmed more of a cat person.
In past upgrade videos, doggos were ignored. But Arlo got a lot of attention in this video.
he is a cat person. afaik he owned one or 2 cats,
one of his cats, shadow, was accidentally put in the dryer by their nanny / helper.
RIP Shadow.
@@jessiejeanph That's traumatizing.
@@TAMAMO-VIRUS seriously. Still makes me double check my washer and dryer for my cat, even tho I'm fairly certain he would never get in
@@jessiejeanph my old cats name was shadow
"Confirmed more of a cat person" ??!?! You guys apparently haven't seen Linus Cat Tips, look it up ruclips.net/user/LinusCatTips
Think this is my favorite upgrade so far, everything was chosen with gusto and making the best out of those 5 grands, even with the non-tech/PC-specific stuff. Sarah is always fun to watch and the chemistry was excellent. Also, lots of cat screentime 10/10
Its actually really refreshing to hear someone not necessarily in the tech side of LTT knowing their stuff and not really having anything for a weird reason. Stayed under budget enough to pick up to extra bits that complimented everything else - nice!
Man, saving on your graphics card gives so much more room to play with. What a set up, and what a step up.
Right! I feel like this is one the best in terms of how she spent her money
The camaraderie between Sarah and Linus and the cat’s antics made me laugh out loud several times during this video. Excellent work!
1:47 Bold of him to assume it would last 10 months given how addictive and costly their drinks are, haha
"along side the cat's antics". the other way sounds like the antics are its own entity
Sarah has a great on screen presence! Love how she talks effortlessly to the camera! I think she needs to be in front of the camera more!!!
Arlo needs to be in front of the camera more too
definitely. for someone who is in the background of the business, she takes to the camera with apparent ease and brings fun energy to videos she's in.
we need more Sarah definitely
Agreed, I almost never watch videos this long but Sarah and Linus have a very good presence together on camera. Love (and am jealous of) the set up, too!
Moar Sarah, moar Madison.
More Sarah in videos! :D Such a sunshine and sweet!
"You're impressed by the wrong stuff!" 😂
Love this whole series but this was a particularly fun one.
I myself was for sure impressed by the wing stuff on this video
Linus and Sarah: *surrounded by awesome tech*
Also Linus and Sarah: *distracted by big floof*
I think Linus was distracted by Sarah's Butt.
He is a massive floof
@ParasPlay Gaming why you posting this on every comment wtf
only big flood owners will understand
Distracted by choooonk (choncc) 😂😂
2 mins in and this is already my favorite Extreme Tech Upgrade, haha. Sarah is just so darn happy it's contagious.
I love the fact that they added Arlo in the credits.
Yay, was looking forward to Sarah's and see how she would design it. Didn't disappoint, it turned out really well! And of course, always love her enthusiasm too! One my favorite series at LTT.
Agree
Sarah radiates happiness!!! Such a joy to see her get screen time!!!! Also best upgrade by far!
Her “Wow!…” sounds sarcastic, but you can tell is real
This woman has to be given more screen time. Full of energy and charisma. Totally engaging.
and she lives up to her name.
@@regulusforrester6429 that's a pretty gross comment, ngl
pretty creepy ngl
@@ZebraGER what's her last name?
Just saw it, @Regulus Forrester U didnt need to comment on such xd
9:00 Sarah summoning flames gives me life
Man Arlo got treated like he was “that family member that everyone forgets about” 😂
Sarah's Extreme Tech Upgrade is by far my favorite one by far. I absolutely love her personality, she def needs to be in more videos
That cat is going to take over the setup one day. Jokes aside, I'm always happy to see Sarah in a video and her setup came out great!
I was so sure this build was gonna end with that cat zapping the motherboard with a fifty thousand volts of static.
That cat ought to be in every episode! xD Most lovable creature I've seen online in a while... xD
Arlo is the real MVP
“Your butt is so big!”
“The cat-“
😂 Linus corrected himself so fast.
Otherwise that free 5k wouldve been a free 50k
I paused the video to see the comms for that :')
Timestamp plz
Arlo is a buff mfer
@@adityadivine9750 10:35
This is one of my favourite LTT videos ever. Linus's reaction to the starbucks was priceless.
I love Sarah's energy. Videos with her are always fun. And as a designer myself, i totaly love the choices she made in her tech upgrade. haha. merch and art supplies are very important XD
Always love content with Sarah, her energy is just contagious.
She is really annoying.
The "Really weird yellow" color for those stickers most likely means they're glow in the dark. Shine a flashlight on them for 30 seconds and then turn the lights out.
Or maybe UV reactive... or both...
@@GodmanchesterGoblin well glow in the dark things are almost always UV reactive
I dont know why but i love Sarah's videos, she has amazing energy.
Same here they should allow Sarah in more videos
I think its all about interest, if she wanted to be in more videos, it would be the case, but you can see her in videos of ShortCircuit.
I think you answered that yourself. She has amazing energy.
What is her RUclips ? Or insta ?
Its the bubbly personality!
That cat edit at the beginning is gold!! LOL Hat's off for the editor for making humor out of that!
Probably the most entertaining of all the extreme tech upgrade segments.
Sarah is a hoot, but she really has come a long way into the pc master race world.
Did you see Dennis' upgrade 😂
@@PeterOeC LOL nuff said
She's incredibly charismatic. Started to notice that when she appeared on carpool critics (god the name they changed it to sucks. they need to bring it back to CPC.)
Totally agree. I LOVE her laugh. It's so unabashedly funny. 😊
Honestly I was hoping someone would just claim the 5K to get a gift card. Turns out, Sarah is the one!
Linus damn near had a heartattack
somebody commented before watching the video 👁️👁️
Sarah definitely brings a huge amount of energy to the episodes she's on. Maybe it's that 4k worth of Starbucks lol. Really enjoyed this extreme tech upgrade!
Dennis Liao: I’m going to upset Intel with what I use the budget for
Sarah Butt: Hold my coffee
Yeah, I have the next generation of that motherboard, and it is a very heavy motherboard. By far the heaviest of the 3 computers I have built in the last couple years.
I am not going to lie, she did an unreal job with her selections. The setup looks fantastic.
Linus has created one of the best places to work at. The staff are clearly hardworking but also very comfortable and having a great time. Congrats on the upgrade Sarah and thank you Intel for the sponsorship.
The growth of Sarah in front of the camera has been awesome to see. She volleys so well with Linus and brings such a funny energy, now with a power confidence seen in the first amazing joke ahha
This is the 2nd Sarah video I've watched: I've gotta say that she has such a good energy and she has brightened my day, and she's great fun in videos with Linus... they couldn't be more different but well matched to make us viewers smile.
I would totally let Sarah design my gaming room, I really like everything she has gotten.
Design, yes.
Put the PC together? Umm, no, I saw that other video.
@@klaxoncow She actually didn't do it that bad, she's not a techie after all.
@@klaxoncow she didn't do that bad, I have seen worse with people who try to build a PC then come in asking why its not working.
On a strictly technical point, if you buy enough LTT store merch to deck your gaming room, you can legitimately say that a good part of it was designed by the one and only Sarah Butt (and many other talented people working there)!
Just one question. Why did she punish herself with Windows 11? Who would inflict that kind of cruel punishment on themselves?
Ok, I love Sarah's kitchen! It's so nice! The bottes lined up blends really well with the lighting's color temperature, which also meshes really well with the color of the cabinets.
@ParasPlay Gaming both
She's a graphics designer... She knows colours
Her kitchen was better than their stage kitchen, shes holding back
Clear difference between the art and the tech team: art goes fo overall concept and works good enough, tech goes for highest numbers they never max out and some staple style points if design is relevant at all.
Sarah really made the most out of her upgrade and also she built her setup with intent, she knew exactly what she is going to use it for. Also, very fun person in general
As a tech guy I feel attacked. Hey man so what if I won't use all of my 128GB or 64GB of RAM. The numbers look cool and I MIGHT use it once every blue moon........maybe.
but I don't think a 3060 can handle 1440p 144 Hz, maybe i'm wrong?
@@TheRealOne2294 depends what game, minecraft can run that easily of cards as old as a 980ti
@@Alucard-gt1zf ur right
Mate, the tech team also built with intent.
all those arlo shots, totally cute , such a beautiful cat wants screen time
