I wanted to see all of them
At that point this is no longer "a Random Asian Tech Mall" but THE ASIAN TECH MALL
A beautiful build and it was great seeing you make that kid's year!
That's ridiculous lmao
come to Ghana please😌😔😔😔
damn give it to me
So you guys secretly told them all to use only AMD processors ?
100 $80 screwdrivers for one 5090 great value
on the 5090
what a bad video. shilling this company
Yooo can you guys make me a mini pc?
I might even try to do a comment every videos till i geta reply 😂
PFF!!……
Linus is LARPING!
Getting a pc built in the place that MAKES THE THINGS YOU BUILD PC's with?!
Please.🙄
Linus use Ubuntu😮
Chinese guy who won the custom PC would be fragging online like, "All your base belong to me!!" 😂
I wonder how long it took the kid to get it home?
Have you ever been to Japan or South Korea?!
Only on LTT will you find someone holding a piece of hardware fully capable of self immolating on a whim while calling it "The COOLEST Graphics Card". LInus, that thing is anything BUT Bcool.
That was so sketch the way linus and fan were trying to hold the pc together.
Dhab it actually pronounced thehab which means Gold in Arabic, and the symbols on the GPU are Arabic letters!
Those roads aren't busy and you want to try the test route that goes straight on at the roundabout rather than turning right.
For sure mom gonna complain about electricity bill after a month of using it. 🤣
Amazing what you have done by giving this pc Linus team! All the best to you!
man, how I wish linus just build many mid tier pcs for 12000 dollars and give it away to subscribers.
Darkflash is a Chinese brand. They're pretty known across south east asia
I'll see this guy on cs2
THE OG design would have been better by the looks of it, and way WAY WAAAAY more practical.
The build is sick but the graphics card just laying in the sand is pretty dumb
16:15 he froze, but now his pc wont 😆
Очередная херня., Заряженный деньгами чувак тупо покупает топ компоненты. Ты попробуй на адекватный бюджет что-нибудь собрать, а мы посмотрим. Даже в китае цена выходит запредельная
Still a "flashing my money" video, LTT really going out of his way to make bad video.
Cheese tea is absolutely a thing, they whip cream cheese into it. I kinda love it.
Thank you very much for being a human! Cheers
Bro is gonna spend too much money in taxes. Unless Linus gave him a gift receipt as well.
Cool video indeed but damn what a waste of money
This rig is awesome!
Asus has not been making GPU's for 30 years. The first one came out late 1999.
Waste
he sold that shit
I wonder why the title says "China" in the titles of the videos when he is in or doing something related to China but he just says "Asian" when he is in Taiwan…
I am waiting for Linus to come to India for vacation 🤣
4 days is insane,i remember back then to get a custom pc a week is basically minimum
but that's asian for you
literally go to any repair shop for example phone and if you say it'll take longer than 2 hour to fix the phone or more than a day to order the part most customers would walk away immediately
Did Reflex 2 change this much?
Lets hope he didnt mean City Skylines 2 with cs2. There a chance even the new pc wont get 50 fps in a big city 😀
This could honestly be one of the best things to happen to this kid. He can easily start a twitch stream name it something like "Testing my New Free 12k USD gold computer in CS2" or something along those lines, online personality awaiting him (thats if he wants to do so). Let alone having a free 12k dollar PC dropped on your hands just for meeting one of your favorite creators.
The delayed reaction on the price may be because he has to do a bit of math. The Chinese number system puts the decimal every four places, so its like, 36 ten thousands (36,0000) instead of 360 thousands (360,000), if that makes sense. When people say large numbers in Chinese to me (native English speaker, decent Mandarin speaker), I also pause for like ten seconds to figure it out lol
