@@Jarnis-v1c You don't buy a lot of pre-builts right? I mean, just check Gamers Nexus YT channel... most companies and boutique ensamblers cheap out a lot or straight up try to scamm the customer... from the big brands making their computers as customer and repair un-friendly with tons of propietary parts and cheaping out in components, to the amazon and other e-stores selling prebuilts with old components, advertising pcs with gt730s as gaming pcs, or refurbished pcs with glitter and rgb (not joking on the glitter part) the market is full of traps and dishonest sellers, or at best, just incompetent... This dude sold a good pc at a fair price, realy well put together and he had it ready quick... is quite outsanding. Also if you watch Linus video, his customer service and attention to detail was also realy realy good.
there's no chance the guy in the shop didn't know who Linus was, like no chance. Linus had even been playing around creating videos in Taipei for some weeks given Computex was going on. Not saying they won't do well otherwise, more like they put 120% effort into it.
@@FeelMetalMan Dude builds computers for a living... and not just office computers... do you think he needs to watch every techtuber in the world to learn how to build a pc? he isn't even american or canadian... he maybe watch SOME pc yt channels from taiwan... but seriously. if you were an expert at something, would you spend the day watching videos about that?
@@josejuanandrade4439 his English was great and not all channels you follow are experts that teach you something, Linus is actually more entertainment for geeks than teaching.
That's even better, that means you don't have to be a big celebrity to get good service. Otoh, foreigners are easier to scam or sell overpriced things to, so it's even better considering that.
@@hellomark1 I don't know if it's true anymore but Linus apparently had a moderately sized audience in the Chinese/ Chinese speaking world. He eventually hired people who did fansubs of his videos as full time subtitle creators. Still though, it's no big surprise a random shop owner wouldn't recognize him.
I live in Manila, and recently keep on getting more Taiwanese video recommendations. Hell, Im actually loving it!😁 Looking forward to visit Taiwan soon and have a go at your PC markets. Best regards!
I'm from the Philippines and I went to taiwan last year to purchase parts in guang hua last 11.11. Some parts were cheap there and my wallet thanked me for the $400 savings.
@@revakriid nope not really. Bought the heavy parts back home like the case and PSU. Just bought CPU mobo and GPU, which was waaay cheaper compared back home.
What a lot of people in the West don't realize, is that Taiwan _is_ computers. TSMC, Acer, MSi, Foxconn, ASUS, ROG, Gigabyte, MediaTek, Cooler Master, AOC, Synology, Quanta, and more are _all_ Taiwanese companies. There's a near 90% chance that the CPU on the device you're watching this on was built in Taiwan. Even the world's biggest non-Taiwanese tech companies go to Taiwan to build their chips. NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Apple, Intel, AMD; all of them. Computer culture is huge in Taiwan. They basically built half the computers in the world.
It's too bad that all these Taiwanese companies overprice their goods for their "hometown" market - although it seems to have gotten better over the past few years, even recently there's still consistently a 10-20% markup in Taiwan vs US/Chinese pricing.
It served as an ad for Taiwan indeed, especially after watching the WAN Show commentary that followed up. Linus talked so good about his experiences in Taiwan, that a place I never even considered visiting, became an appealing choice.
Linus made it to Taiwanese news outlet! 😃Nice! 😁 To be honest, Taiwan is an awesome country and does not really need an advertisement! I love Taiwan and Taiwanese people, you are such an honest and cool folks! Much love and greetings from Poland! 台灣萬歲! 台灣加油! 😄
Taiwan is the worlds leading NATION (just in case any CCP trolls were confused) in technology production. The Silicon Shield was a brilliant economic, political, and military shield. I'm glad to stand with the free people of Taiwan.
I mean, the seller/artisan charged a fair price for a "clueless" (Linus was acting) client. He could have charged a exorbitant price and put middle-end parts but the seller did put the cream of crop and charged honestly for it.
I mean most of us have high respects for Taiwan. The people who watch LTT know what Taiwan is. TSMC and Micron has made sure of that. Also a dose of fear that political turmoil could hurt Taiwan and by proxy us.
TSMC and Nvidia feeling sad to see that they were forgotten as taiwan's leading computer part manufacturer to conquer the world 😂. Also why not give that shop keeper the actual respect? He has enthusiasm and talent. Promote that category where people without a degree can also do stuff. Why trying to bring R&D blah blah blah while not giving that man and category any respect? Why all news reporters are trash while reporting the actual event?
TLDR: He bought an overpriced PC because it was hand made at the shop for 5, 560 US Dollars. Take pride in the fact that he overpaid for something that was made right there in the country. If its a country founded on oil, oil prices are cheap, if you're in tech country, the prices are cheap. He over paid handsomely to help put a price tag for the country to artificially inflate. Prices are going to skyrocket here now. You heard it here first. YT Algos are really scary. This is a scary narrative.
It's DDR5, but the 7950X3D had a pretty identical imc (integrated memory controller) to the non 3d 7950X which means at quad rank it still only clock at 3600mhz maximum.

Linus tech tips is an amazing channel. This was a great video too, the built quality of the computer was amazing too. I hope the shop becomes more popular after this video.
@@cmja09well, Akihabara WAS an electronic district in the first place. The resurgence of pop culture made the place change little by little. If you ever go there, there should be some places who sell electronic stuff. Even the malls like DQ have whole stories selling pc parts
More love shown to Linus in Taiwan than Canada is dope lol. Imagine being the hero of an entire generation of Taiwanese people, crazy. Notoriety like that would immediately give me a fat head. Cant wait to hear about this on the wan show.
@@TamCloncey Canada spent all the wealth in real estate investment because it made the most money. Typical capitalist blunder, putting all of your eggs into one basket. I think around 90% of Canadian money is tied up in physical properties.
it took the algorithm a while, but it finally made the connection between LTT's video, this formosa TV video Edit: something y'all got wrong, and the sign-off makes it seem like it wasn't a translation error... The computer wasn't self-assembled, it was pre-assembled. And what an amazing job the PC technician did too!
$5000 USD on PC. As cool as it looks, that is too much to spend on a gaming PC. Playing in 4k at 60fps at Ultra Graphics Preset isn’t going to make a terrible game, play better than it would at 720p at 60fps at low graphics Settings.
Handmade -- > Self-built I was here trying to figure out how the computer would build itself, turns out its just a regular handmade computer like mine. D: a little bit disappointed by the choice of words!!!
1:34 I'm not Taiwanese, but I'm pretty sure anyone who knows computers knows how important Taiwan is since almost all the great and advanced chips are developed by the Taiwanese. 😅
Soon a youtuber from China is going to do the same thing in Taiwan. BUT unlike Linus, the Chinese youtuber is going to say he had a bad experience. This is an information war.
The news formula for Linus video clipping it looks like he is just a generic white dude in Asia. It is just of pocket comparison to the LTT formula of video showcase
Idk... people buy stuff all the time bought in other countries and aren't promoting them as being an industry leader. He probably saw it as easy content.
@LinusTechTips showing up on Taiwanese news... This is WAN Show worthy.
send the link man if it's up Thanks!
No doubt!!!! I wonder if they mention on this week's episode... :D
Nope
i was just thinking the same thing, hah

this yt algorithm is getting scary

for sure
yea I had never watched a single Taiwan news before
If you love your country, do your job as best as possible. That shop keeper guy simply did his job properly, and the whole country benefited from it.

The shop owner really didn't recognised linus
He is not as big a deal as we think he is.
It's understandable to me. Why would you think this guy who runs a UA-cam channel thousands of miles away is suddenly in your shop on the fifth floor?
Probably doesnt have the time as hes building those awesome pcs. The tubing is flawless.

I'd say the guy really put effort in creating the build. He deserves the fame now it's making me want to go Taiwan to build my own pc xD
I know, right? The guy that built the computer absolutely deserves more business. It was an amazing and difficult build in only three days.

以後去台灣要改名叫Lin Nus了
'self-assembled high performance computer', what a nice word for a gaming pc.

Never been to Taiwan but after watching LTT's videos and seeing the people there I kinda wanna visit ;)
Now ltt has to make a video out of this to finish the circle
Taiwan really is #1
thats a great tourism campaign - go to taiwan to build you PC and tour plants. If there was Tech Tourism visits I'd sign up!
