- Ian Mapleson, one of my viewers, has done an extraordinary thing: he has sent me a new computer. As a way of thanking him, I have made this video.
Includes a critique of a company slogan.

Thank you Ian
how is this message five years old but the video sez it was uploaded twenty minutes ago?😮
@@RYOkEkENI’m so fucking confused
I have seen this on a couple of videos in the last few weeks. What on earth...
5 year old comment on a 1 hour old video??
Ian, if you're reading this. I think you're awesome in spite of the fact that you're still human and could be (like .00003% chance) a deranged serial killer who eats kittens. Thank you.
Bloody. Good. Guy.
You really do get some lovely people out there.
oh hi squire
to be fair is it that much of a suprise that squire likes lindy? i think not :P
God damn squire flyer. Didn't know you when I watched this video. Long live bbbrrritish RUclipsrs
Why does it say this comment is from 5 years ago?
@@Zaku186wait, actually. . .
Why is that?
LindyTechTips
Thomas Hill A Renaissance man of our times
get out 😭
Concidering the reputational hits that LTT has taken lately.. I'd rather hear Lindy bumbling through tech stuff than LTT themselves. :P
"Don't drop this" appears across the bottom of the screen in Times New Roman.
HAH
True fan of the channel.
'Any requests?'
'Just send the boxes back. That's some good beige right there. Can't be wasting beige in this economy.'
What an amazing gift. Thank you Ian that was a very kind thing to do.
Thanks! :)
Why did I get this 5 years old video now... In my inbox as if it was new.
Yeah, same thing happened to me.
Same. I've only just noticed!
59 minutes… ago? WEIRD.
Same
I noticed some of the hardware was bit, dated. And that makes since considering the age of the video. But also got pushed this on my home page saying it was posted 59 minutes ago. with comments 5 years old... Typical Lindybeige witchcraftery ;)
Baffling. The video is clearly 5 years old, but RUclips is presenting it as though it were uploaded January 30, 2024.
I have time travelled to ask where is my copy of the Search For Hannibal?
Been 8 years now right? Infuriating.
Was wondering why when I opened up this video I had already liked it. As it turns I liked this 5 years ago haha.
Amnesiac Prescience.
I was wondering why the logitech logo was the old one I remember from before they got sooper modern (was wondering if he just threw in some old keyboards and speakers just in case) and just now saw the 5 year old comments
"you may be a nerd if.." You notice a different logo instead of Lloyd's ravishing dark hair of old. ;) @@lindholmaren
Heavens to Betsy!! 😮
Same here
Well it was obviously a very powerful computer as it allowed time travel into the future.
He unlisted it by accident?
Correct.
Well done Ian, and excellent work on fixing the keyboard. You can tell you've done well by it all sinking in for Lloyd at 5:21 :D
I HAVE THE EXACT SAME KEY..oh, well, similar, at least.
Removing the caps lock key as it improved my keyboard 100%
how did you post this comment 5 years ago??
@@brodymundy4875 RIGHT!! some others have too
Wait… the video is 9 minutes old, but there are comments from 5 years ago?
Yhhhh I’m confused
Finally someone noticed. I wonder what happened here? Maybe RUclips interfered with the video back then and Lindy made it private? And now for some reason he decided to make it public again?
Edit: oh actually it might have been a Patreon exclusive video since there are comments here from 3 and 2 years ago too.
@@SonnyBurnett02 That sounds plausible
@@SonnyBurnett02 It being patreon would make sense too
I was also confused by the old wall.
Hello from the world of tomorrow!
(5 year old video apparently!)
temporal distortion Detected
That thumbnail is absolutely incredible
I’M A FAN. Your style of education helped me a lot in high school and now I’m majoring in history. Thank you Lloyd.
Limits as boundaries set to keep you from greener pastures.
Go forth and compute at new higher levels of computational power!
This being Lindybeige I expected the new "computer" to be a mechanical device of brass cogs and wheels, that could be used to predict eclipses or something.
It's a pleasure to see how sincerly delighted you are.
You really have fanatics. Thanx Ian!
Re-upload? Some comments are from 5 years ago. And the X79 board was first launched in 2011
I wonder if he is still using the same PC
Right? Just looking at the packaging I had some reservations thinking someone send Lindybeige a horribly outdated system. Reading the comments though, it seems like there is some RUclips tomfoolery happening
@@not2jon I wonder if that liquid cooler eventually destroyed the system vie a short circuit. This things are horrible.
@@ScienceDiscovererdestroyed mine once. Went back to air and a giant heatsink.
@@ScienceDiscoverer its a reason why corsair has a noBS warranty for the cooler. As long as it's within 6 years of ownership, you can get one cross-shipped or collateral shipped to you. Only a small handful of companies will do it which is why you shouldn't buy a cheap $50 AIO from a company with a website from 2004.
Nice. One hell of a gift.
Kinda wished you showed more of the computer, though. Specs and such.
It said X79 on the motherboard box, so it's an LGA2011 board, which in turns means it'll have a 3000-series or 4000-series Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition in it. Not exactly brand new then (on the platform side, at least; maybe the GPU is newer), but still quite powerful.
(I think LB might do something else about it later, not sure) Yes indeed it's an X79, but the CPU is a 10-core XEON E5-2680 v2 (IvyBridge-EP). I was originally going to use a 3930K, but that meant overclocking to achieve the threaded performance I wanted. Later though, the E5 became affordable, which means the H100 cooler is kinda overkill but it does mean very minimal noise.
+mapesdhs - Interesting... Kind of forgot about Xeons also fitting on LGA2011, but then I'm more of an AMD guy myself, so I've never been quite so intimately familiar with Intel sockets and their associated CPUs.
I have a variety of both, but no Ryzens yet, leaving that for the summer, and perhaps a TR too.
I considered myself a Lindy Fan but now I think I should recategorize as a Lindy Admirer
A 5 year old video released 45mins ago. Yep that checks out with the upload schedule! 😂
Best comment in the whole section
Love the micro aggression around the slogan "explore beyond limits".
The thing is, his anger at it is based on a misunderstanding. He interprets it as "explore beyond _your_ limits", but there's no "your" in there. It could just as well mean "explore beyond [the] limits [of your knowledge]".
laurens will be so pleased to finally learn this after 5 years :-D
But microagression towards a manufacturer like acer is fully justified. Their products are as well thought out as this slogan.
"Micro aggression" why even bother using such a meaningless woke nonsense term? And no this is not one of those as they don't exist.
Good for you. It's nice when people have enough resources to share.
Medieval tech man showing a modern age sacrifice for himself. Truly history in the making!
The amount of care and dedication someone must have towards Lindy in order to send him all of this is trully heartwarming.
I have that same computer case in black and white. Absolutely stunning retro futurist design, like something out of Alien or 2001: A Space Oddysey
I randomly stumbled upon this video then played another (your most viewed), and I have to say I understand Ian completely, your character is infectious. Well done, Ian!
Thanks. :D
Thank you Ian. You're certainly a very generous man.
Hello time traveller.
I am an occasional viewer. You have guests on I really love to hear about and you do interviews so well 😊 Other than that you talk and talk and talk and occasionally say something interesting.Thank you.
Well this is the cozyest PC unboxing video, so i'm glad he sent it.
Once working, I would like a video of you in your suit of armour sitting at the keyboard telling us all about it.
This ☝
This video is 5 years old. Be hopes it has been working already. 🤣.
Nice one, all involved! I've been eyeing the idea of using a Gerry Can that's been on a boat years ago...and one that hasn't(Significant dates too...hmmm!) , for such a build but time may get the better of the situation.
Nice machine and here's to a more fruitful and easier experience when making videos and the Wisdom pieces! All the best, sir. Cheers!
wow this is a throwback, when this video was originally released we didn't even have "In Search of Hannibal". Oh wait...
Well it's official, our man Lindybeige has managed to bend the space time continuum! It says it was uploaded 14 hours ago for me yet this is- apparently- a 5 year old video! Nice one Lindy! 😀
I wish someone loved me the way Ian loves Lindy.
congrats on the new computer, 5 years ago
Which was by the time already 8 years old lol
you being very wholesome about this was oddly entertaining
Thank you, Ian! What an amazing chap!
Some people are amazing human beings.
Thank you so much Ian. If ever we meet, I will sing you a beige song of gratitude.
I look forward to it! :)
you didn't show the PC guts
we pc builders want to see under the hood!
Lets do the time warp again!!!! It's just a step to your right.... Belated thanks Ian!
Whoah! Very cool Ian. That's super nice of you. Makes me feel good to know there are folks like you out there.
Incredible attention to detail and that is based on the wrapping alone! What a great guy Ian is!
Thanks! :D
Nice one Ian! We all appreciate this kind gesture.
noce gift! very generous of him! now do a video of you assembling it!
I do hope that we get to see the pc set up and in action at some point?
Equally, I do hope that you have a suitable desk for the new computer.
Upload in 4K resolution now! God bless you Ian.
What a lovley thing to do Ian more blessings to you Salute from Australia
Wow, what a great and thoughtful gift!
Good on ya Ian! Investing in Lindy's creative output for, ultimately, the benefit of all of us here. Amazing. What a jolly nice thing to do.
Thank you Ian.
Thank you Ian!
I think it is really a junior TARDIS hence the time travelling and Lloyd's hair growing thicker and more luxuriant.
Ian is a very generous guy, he shows a lot of personal care with his packaging and presentation, he didn't just throw a bunch of money
You deserve every bit. You are a fountain of both rare knowledge and entertainment !
For stealing fans money?
@@silver4831 so receiving a gift is stealing? Wow, That puts a whole new spin on Christmas.
@macrumpton People didn't gift him money, they signed up to receive a comic.
I have the same keyboard. Welcome to the logigang
Who's a lucky boy, like a kid at Christmas!! :) What a lovely chap Ian is. once its set up you should do tour vid of it. All the best.
Let's face it, if we all had the money, we'd love to treat our favourite RUclipsrs like this. Good guy Ian!
When you find a Lindybeige Video you haven’t yet seen
The customized Caps-Lock-Key: I get it! Yay!
Looking forward to your upward lurch! This is amazing.
I'm happy for you. I love new computer day!
What a nice thing to do!
Thank you Ian. That was very good of you to benefit us all.
Having viewed several years of Beige’s productions, I now want to electronically mail the man an adventuring, swords and sorcery, video game.
Mostly to see if he likes it, partly to spread it.
Thanks for teaching me how to make ropes.
Now Lindy can play Bannerlord and Total War on ultra!
That's amazing, what a brilliant and generous gift! :)
Haha this was five years ago :p
What a somptuous present ! It looks like a very good computer made by someone who is knowledgeable about them.
Edit : The missing caps lock key is a proof of a real fan !
Lloyd, no number of computers compare to the value you've provided us in entertainment and information. A sincere thanks for the time and energy you bring to your channel!
Outstanding! What a generous gift, Ian.
And what a deserving recipient! My wife & I agree that Lindy is one of the classiest RUclipsrs out there. We're looking forward to seeing what manner of magic will be wielded by this new machine. Mind you, we are neither "early adopters" nor especially current in keeping up with the current state of computer technology. Witnesseth, for instance, that our "new" still camera here is a Kodak Brownie with Series 120 B&W film...in rolls.
And my form of texting is Morse Code via a straight key to a proper ham (Amateur Radio) wireless station.
Those last two seconds are priceless 😆
Oh wow. This is beyond good, even if (as is asserted in some comments) your upload is from around 2019, rather than from this year, 2024. - Do please show us the assembled rig, should time and energy permit. It would be nice also to have some specifications: which CPU? what temperature achieved at your CPU under a stiff load, with that liquid cooling? - Sincerely, Toomas Karmo (Tartumaa County, south-central Estonia)
wow thats hella kind and awesome. Good job, Ian!
I have somehow traveled back 5 years in time YES
I think those boxes need to be sent back full of Lindybeige merchandise. Good job, Ian.
Sir, I watch your videos for the content, but I also consider myself a fan. The topics and history are only as good as the storyteller revealing them. You are well worth a moderate, but healthy level of fanaticism.
We are all fanatics Lindy.
First youtube video of the day and what a wholesome video it is, while drinking coffee and eating a slice of cake. Enjoy that computer Lindy and thank you Ian for sending good vibes into the world.
Wow. From a "viewer"(who is not quite fanatic)..thanks, I look forward to seeing what can be done with it.
I do, somewhat, would like to see you set up the system. Anyway, bless your one fan.
WOW! Far out! That's awesome!
Thanks Ian!
You gotta post a picture of your battle station when you get it set up
A Logitech K120 keyboard? Can't go wrong with that one honestly. Mine has never failed me.
Sweet! That's one heck of a donation. By the way x-140 speakers are an older model but much better than the newer models that replaced them and I'd take them any day over newer ones. I've set both my kids up with a pair each.
Very cool :) Thanks Ian!
MR Beige. You are officially the most gracious recipient of a random fan's kindness. Thank you for sharing. I was GENUINELY happy you got all this stuff. You deserve it. ❤
I enjoy watching most of your work
I love the detailed instructions he provided. It's one thing to assemble all the parts/build the pc, it's another to make sure the final installation process goes as smoothly as possible. Bravo, good sir.
I included a full description of all the installed sw, the desktop layout, which icons do what, how to do backups, etc.
Hats off to our superviewer and possible fan, Ian Mapleson! I didn't even know they made ammo-crates this big.
Watching Lloyd unbox a computer…I’m definitely a lindybeige fanatic
Good luck assembling al those gifts!
That's just the packing boxes for some of the parts, everything was prebuilt, and I included detailed info on how to cable it all together, etc. :)
Wow, that's awesome! Very generous of you, Ian 🙂
Congratulations!
It's always lovely to receive gifts.
Thank you Ian
Mr Beige sir, you are a fortunate man.
I like that you filmed this unboxing. Typically I can’t stand unboxing. This was different. I’m pretty sure you made his day by making a video about this. That was incredibly nice of him to do for you!
With all the nice comments here, he's managed to do it again. :D
That's some impressive box taping.
It takes a fair while to do, but it helps prevent transit damage, especially applying gaffer tape to every main edge. A common mistake people make when posting boxes is to only tape the main top seam, but this means side movement is possible along both side edges. Preventing lateral knocks from breaking the tape at either end is vital, hence I always seal both side seams aswell. The side tapes seal the upper tapes, so at the end there are only two exposed tape edges on the entire box, making it hard for someone to interfere with the contents with causing visible damage.
To what extent using the Fragile tape results in better courier handling though, I don't know; I think it does, perhaps because the more professional appearance encourages more sensible driver behaviour for those who might otherwise be a tad on the wrong side of indifferent, ie. it makes the boxes look "important". No way to be sure.
I wrote more about this and packaging methods in general back in 2013, just search for, "Posting Advice for eBid/eBay Sellers", though it needs updating in terms of included links, company phone numbers and service options mentioned, plus the World Transport Agency reference is no longer useful as they don't ship to private individuals anymore. However, the general info is still sound, eg. suggestions on how/where to obtain free packaging materials.
I am a fanatic for your work frankly. It’s my favourite history channel by far.
