I dont need to watch the whole video to know this will work, lol. I have done crazy stuff like this myself, but the commentary is why i am here. okay time to continue watching.
At first I thought Linus had a minor obsession with rubbing it in his old boss' face, based on some of the stories he's told over the years about his old NCIX boss. Now I'm seeing it differently after hearing it described as collecting. It was an extremely important era of Linus' life and he wants to preserve and relive some of it, which I feel.
I think we have to realise that there *is* nothing to rub into his old boss's face. I think in many industries, old business owners might be totally okay with their old businesses dying. Like they already got their return of investment and made the business's lifetime worth of income from it, and the business has done its job for the niche it filled in its area, so it doesn't have to progress into an industry paragon.
CAPITALISM! At its finest. Say what you will. Sometimes, just poetic when old bosses screw up so bad. You come along and buy up their failure for pennies. And not being mean to the owners of NCIX. I am generalizing.
the joke at 5:00 is absolutely flawless by both of them. the seriousness in tanners voice, his facial expressions, the pause between the delivery of the joke and linus' reaction....
Having dude go behind you to explain the obvious has made this video so great. I want to see him as the voice of reason that just pops up in the back ground of all your videos. Love the energy!
Duo Tenner and Linus are hilarious! Crazy CEO that is brewing something indescribable while his employee is trying to tell him it's impossible without saying it directly. All of this in friendly environment 😂😂
Everybody's talking about Tanner's comment about the sign, but his instantaneous response to Linus's question "why didn't we think of this before?" being "because then we couldn't think of it now" is my favorite.
These are always the most fun LTT projects. The heavily curated and scripted videos are entertaining, but the absolute chaos and jank of these is like a good comedy special. And it's all off the cuff, you guys always think these things are gonna work out despite an entire UA-cam channel full of these going wrong. Love it.
It was the janky solutions, to everything, of the early LTT videos that drew me in. Scripted and/or pretty builds are quickly boring to those on lower budget.
@@enesuzicanin5526 That takes me back, me and my dad used to watch reruns of it when I was a kid. Kinda forgot about it, but yeah LTT kinda is the unintentional tech version of that.
Linus is the ultimate Chad. He got stuff from his old employer, made his own company worth millions of dollars, employs a bunch of pros and old coworkers, then raid his old employers corpse. Is there more to say?
Being a tech enthusiast who has worked in sign manufacturing for over a decade at this point, this video was made for me. Both of my big joys in life collided.
Same, I worked at our family business that made signs (and other things) for like a decade and am also a tech enthusiast so this video is very cool for me. Gonna be interesting to see how they're gonna get even lighting on it with such a tight fit lol.
@@crafteri8891 personally, i would use all white components as well as recess the components as far into the backer as possible while using Principal Street Fighter POD HOs along the sidewalls.
@@Ven0mstrike yeah I was thinking along the sidewalls as well, but they might not have room for it depending on how they go about fitting all the components. And if something is too close to the acrylic you're gonna have a shadow no matter what you do. Depending on what kind of acrylic it is they could use some kinda diffuser film on the inside to even out the light a bit.
This was great c= I wish you guys would do more of these kinda unplanned content, that component shadow moment made me laugh and I haven't laughed like that watching an LTT video for a while
I LOVE Tanner. His sense of humor and the commentary from him was amazing. Really hope we see him in more videos. Also this is the ultimate flex on a former employer that went under, especially with the history.
That Tanner guy is the best. I want a whole video of just him sitting in a chair in a dark room staring into the camera making sarcastic remarks about Linus
It's just because it's a fresh character. That's the only reason you feel that way. Happened with Sarah Butt, James, Anthony (the most), Riley, Dan, Dennis, Berkel, and every other staff member that made new appearances.
i still remember when linus mentioned how his ncix boss spoke to him something like "maybe you shouldn't be working there, maybe you should be doing youtube" in times when youtube wasn't yet a sustainable career path, buying off anything ncix after the company went bunkrupt must feel so good, almost like saying back "you know what? you were right" after many years
I would put the original backs in the wharegouse to be stored and make new ones out of the thinnest non conductive material you can get... maybe 1/8 thick fiberboard? The attach the componnets to one side of that facing the back of the sign and the lights on the other facing the sign front. Then get some clear flexible plastic sheeting and cut the letters out and sand them so they are not clear anymore to act as a diffuser so the closer lights don't show easily. Add some spacer to the wood letter that just thick enough to keep the LED's off the plastic. Then build the PC off that and everything that sticks out has a hole in the box that hides the cables and tubes.
English Stack Exchange has a decent answer to use the of the X in NCIX. Reason 1: The X is there as a homage to communication systems like the telegraph where a period (.) did not exist, forcing people to use an X at the end of abbreviations for convenience. Reason 2: like Rx, Tx, Pax, and Tix, an X is sometimes added to the end of abbreviations or words that are related to transportation or communication. However that is generally only applicable to nouns.
Love this video. The haphazard and disorganized build during a move is just so relatable to many situations I've found myself in with different projects and builds. And tanners dead-pan delivery of everything he says is just wholesome and hilarious. Tanner is great.
I thought it was more out of respect for giving him the start to build everything he has now. But shitting on them by buying their memorabilia is a way to look at it.
I have no credentials to back a word I say here apart from being an old school geek and a CIS major (yikes) @Linus Tech Tips. However, with your fancy shop tools, it may be worthwhile to add an additional "diffuser layer" that you use as a spacer between the original sign frame that features the rgb element between the letters, the front of the sign can have a more efficient LED setup sans RGB to illuminated them like they were at your ex employer. This would also eliminate the clearance issues shown in the video. SOLID mockup, and I can't wait to see what you do to get this rocking!
I can't wait to see the final build. I really hope it's super long and detailed. My FAVORITE videos on the channel are the crazy whacky builds in the shop (usually Alex) that get made. I love those breakdowns of all the components/ custom stuff and tools. I could literally watch those videos all day.
This is the first video in a multi part series by you guys where I'm genuinely hyped to see the next episode like you would for a TV show or anime - this was such a fun video, the chemistry seems great and the NCIX sign being a sentimental thing for Linus makes this 'not just a pc we're gonna tear down after the video' kind of build! I usually don't comment, but since Linus and team actually read the comments I feel like pointing out a very positive thing is just as important as criticising something!
You should stick all the LED strips around the inside of each letter as close to the front of each letter as possible. That will allow as much light to show at the front as possible and create the best chance at having good coverage without gaps.
Beared man is now one of my favorites. Keep him on camera please. Haha. He makes Linus eyeroll and it's the best! Can't wait to see him and Riley together.
Try running the LED tape mounted along the vertical sides of the letters to take an edge-lighting approach. It will also alleviate the issues of the shadows from the components mounted down below.
Their warehouse is like the tech nerd version of the candy room from Willy Wonka. Imagine how fun it would be to just make a build by walking through and picking stuff off the shelves.
This. I stripped my old TV diffuser after watching a UA-cam video on making the light look like sunlight from a window. Most successful DIY i did ever. I drop most of my projects and never touch them. But this one i did it in like an afternoon and got me a nice light source that doesn't burn my eyes.
I think the only way your going to get even lighting is to run your led tape around the inside of the letter as close to the face as possible but not so close that you get hot spots. White components will help. I build signs for a living and PCs for fun. This was a cool video!
This was great and brought back fond memories of NCIX in its heyday. I miss the place and the forums but it sure turned into the biggest crapshow at the end. A fitting tribute to Linus's roots and I like it and hope to see the sign PC in future videos. Maybe I could even drive by the office and see the sign from the street. That would be sweet!
I agree with the plan of doing a back board possibly doing like a 1cm inlay where all the components are and attaching them to it. For the lighting try attaching to the sides of the letters where it would light outside in above th components and should produce relatively even look with some minor dark spots
i cant speak for others, but i want more Tanner content!! i loved his humor, and his way of explaining the sign needing a backing was very similar to how i describe things as well! loved the camera zooming on it btw!!
With all of the CNC machines, 3D printers, and other things invested in; they could design a frame/adapter to increase the depth, that would leave the original parts of the signage/logo untouched, but still allowing cable runs and such.
For the lighting, you might be able to use the LED strips in the middle around the whole letter along the inside wall of it. - basically it would shine straight into the middle of each letter (like a border around each letter effect) That should give you the best effect with the setup
"Edge-lit" is the term you're looking for, and I was scrolling down to see if anyone had suggested it. Seems like a way better solution than trying to light everything from the backplate.
Linus making things 10x harder just because he wants the original sign instead of custom making his own sign to fit everything in it without problems is exactly why I stay subscribed.

Tanner's deadpan about the sign being nasty because it was outside on the building, complete with understanding headnod, was a thing of beauty.
Just wonderful comedic timing. You love it when somebody makes Linus "Jim" the camera.
I rewatched this several times, hilarious. The facial reactions make it so much better.

At first I thought Linus had a minor obsession with rubbing it in his old boss' face, based on some of the stories he's told over the years about his old NCIX boss. Now I'm seeing it differently after hearing it described as collecting. It was an extremely important era of Linus' life and he wants to preserve and relive some of it, which I feel.
@Christian B right
I think we have to realise that there *is* nothing to rub into his old boss's face. I think in many industries, old business owners might be totally okay with their old businesses dying. Like they already got their return of investment and made the business's lifetime worth of income from it, and the business has done its job for the niche it filled in its area, so it doesn't have to progress into an industry paragon.
Linus flexing big time!
He's still really close to his old boss, he was that "random" guy at Linus's Roast.
i heard he still sits on his lap 🥺
Tanner needs his own show/segment. That dry humor and sarcasm is too good. I wish I could talk to my bosses like that lol.
He's making it out the engineering department with this one 💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥
You guys should add a diffusion sheet in between the components and the sign, would really help to even out the lighting.
I love Tanner's sense of humor, its almost like its been outside for a long time mounted to a building, LOL!
always appreciate deadpan humour dude
His beard speaks to my own on a spiritual level.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
I had a sip of drink right before that line. It was a mistake

Someone confirm, isn't there a stencil on a wall in the office that says something like "The Tech Michael Scott"?
3:01 That's what she said...
Jake is Dwight. Confirmed.
Tanner is now my favorite LTT employee. His comebacks are too damn good
i loved where he talked about it being mounted on the side of a building, man was a smart ass and i loved every bit of it
loved him just saying "i have grossly miscalculated" best line imo
"Oh. That is a good question"
Every time the camera slowly started zooming into Tanner as he made up explanations on the spot, was absolute Gold.
Tanner reminds me of John from Silicon Valley!
Use a diffusion layer for the LEDs and make it really thin like an LCD backlight
I think you need to call up Collin and have him come in for this one. He did such a baller job on the desk PC. Time for a maker collab.
It's safe to say that all those unboxing's by Linus bankrupted NCIX. They had so many open boxes they couldn't sell. Thanks Linus
Entire pennies were lost! Oh, the horror! They'll never recover from this financially ruinous waste!
Curse you, Linus Sebastian. Curse you!
