Crazy how with that budget you could build a baller pc for 10k. Redecorate your house. Go on holiday. Then still have enough left over to get a nice car and start an investment fund 😂
The real money happens when you use it to start a business and spend it all in the process, then you can tell the tax man that you technically didn't make any income because it was all spent on your business. Jaspreet Singh method.
@@eddoug259 It would be a small start to a small investment, but you absolutely could, and take a sweet vacation and hook your house up as well. Say 20k each for the house and vacay, 10k for the PC, thats 50K left over for the car and investing. 40K gets you a really nice used Vette, with 10K left to throw away on junk bonds.

good rule of thumb is that if you remove more material than you keep with a subtractive process, you should probably consider a different process. feel like this desk build should be an example used in engineering school about how not to do design.

surprised they didn't go with a 4 leg standing desk setup. not only would it handle more weight but it would also be much more stable at standing height.
It's cost and complexity. Two is easier then four for the cost and control of the height sensors, safety sensors and motors as if any of those fail the table "could" topple or dump it's contents. Trust me, one leg will crush anything human caught between it and it's movement, which is why they had to adjust the weight for the leg's to move constantly. Seen some legs built with plastic " parts" which is my one fear for if they stop working, it sucks.

As a cnc operator/programmer, I can greatly appreciate this video. I've run most or all of these machines throughout the years and seen some cool shit made. Currently I make parts for 747s, jets, and other airplanes.

Oh yes, also shoutout to the Savage Industries split leg apron!
I must say, despite all the outlash going on recently. This is a great video guys. This is the model I personally like. Linus and team are just naturally hilarious, in a good way. Great dynamic, kinda like a sitcom. And today I learned that 5052 aluminum is better for bends and 6061 aluminum is more structurally sound for an application like that desk. Funny, and I learned something that is useful. Thumbs up!
Another good thing to know that is that there are different types of stainless steel and most consumer products use the crappiest version which is barely rust resistant (No steel is perfectly rust resistant but the better versions aren't likely to rust in a noticeable way unless exposed to constant salt water or high temperatures and/or oxygen concentrations).
@@ilovehotdogs125790 To be honest it's been a while since I've looked at the numbers so I don't remember which ones are which. I remember my old shop used to work with both 300 series and 400 series but I can't remember which one rusted almost as fast as regular steal. The better ones (from a rust resistance standpoint) tend to have higher concentrations of aluminum and/or other rare (ish) earth metals. They do tend to be softer though which is part of the reason why high carbon steal (not stainless) is still used in critical infrastructure (the other reason being that it cost less even with the extra precautions needed to protect it from the elements).
At work I usually try to bring a little chaos to things similar to Linus in this episode, but watching this video helped me to realize just how much fear I probably instill in my coworkers. I'm not going to stop though.
Lasercut, bent and welded aluminum was forbidden? You could later machine it and save days of machining and thousands of kilowatts. Also, savings on material would have been fenomenal.
I mean yeah but being ridiculous was kind of the point. When you save money on the $100000 PC, it's no longer a $100000 PC. They ran out of sensible ways to spend money so this is what they did.
I've built like 15 desks using similar legs. The controller has a gyroscope which detects tilt or unexpected movement. So holding it in your hand always causes this issue. Need to attach it to the desk or place it on the floor and not move it.
Interesting to know of that change. I dealt with those legs in the video for "medical tables" that supported heavy and expensive medical equipment for over 10 years (but that was 5ish years ago), and none had gyro's. The ones I dealt with had built in limit switches for top and bottom "mechanical limit stops" and a external safety switch on the bottom of the table to prevent crushing anyone's seated legs when lowering. Was the exact same calibration steps the video shows. The "controller monitors current to each leg motor to determine "tilt" issues if one leg motor is working harder then the other. It's why the table would stop raising also in the video when they were calibrating the legs. The above average weight was drawing too much current and triggered a "stop command" incase it was crushing someone's hand. Note it will still hurt/do damage to soft human parts, DO NOT underestimate the power those legs have. I still have a pair of the 1st gen from a discarded table which I use for my own PC desk.
Although it's a little late ... Months late, would have liked to see it in a mock up gaming suite. Would have shown off the awesomeness. Only needed a couple minutes of it working, camera shot. For those of us who will never own such a work of art.
@@AlphaShadowSphere the first time I read your comment I started questioning how can a wife cost money, and then how much one would cost (lol) if you ever win the lottery and get something like 1M it's best to put the money in a stable fund that gives you like 2% per year and just enjoy the yearly free 20k
Not gonna lie, this design is very similar to the one I built about 7 years ago, very similar shape. Personally I think this is the most ergonomic design a PC desk can have, lots of leg room and enough room for the rads. Good job you guys.
@@ALCRAN2010 I'm referring to the rads on the sides, components spread in the middle. Basically sides larger, mid thinner for the leg room, nice and symmetrical.
@@ALCRAN2010 actually I should have it posted it in the forums, probably archived. It didn't pick up steam on the forums, but I had some articles written about it too.
Had the privilege of meeting Tim at LTX. Helped me liquid metal my Steam Deck, and even returned my lost SD card to me after. Tim's a really cool guy, and I'm glad he got the spotlight in this video.
There is an easier way. You buy a desk with a drawer and a PC at the cost of $2000 both, then put the PC on the desk and $98000 cash, in the desk's drawer.
The problem with that plan is that 2000$ is not enough for a computer without a monitor, desk and everything else. Just for the box i spent 3000€ and i don't even have 4090 in it.
11:11 "Ooh wow, that is exTREmely tight." - "Thank you!" Love that interaction. Here's a guy that _knows_ he didn't fuck up, and everything is according to plan.
Hey linus/crew, How can it be you guy's didn't do a video on the framework 16" pre order opening yet? All spec's got released and we viewers got to know the opinion of the expert's ofcourse :) Love the videos btw, keep it up! :)
This is a work of pure engineering expertise and whilst no person SHOULD spend $100k On a Computer/Desk or well really anything for that matter.. It was bloody well worth it.
I love that Tim gets to be in front of the camera again after talking about the specifics of how he pours water onto his fancy coffee filters. makes me very happy
I feel like I can empathize with the engineer who keeps being so happy that everything is fitting exactly as he planned while linus barely notices lol I feel like I'm watching my entire life be played out in a short video
I love that when Jake doesn't have very much script he just kinda stands there like the apprentice who hasn't been taught anything yet so he just watches
Like the Adam Savage workshop apron. You guys need to seriously do a collaboration with Tested. He could make a replica of a prop from a movie and you guys could put a custom PC in it.
I feel like welding plates together then machining down would've been worthwhile for this. Doesn't seem like there was much to gain from machining from billet. Wire arc 3d printing would've been cool too if you could've found a company that can do it
As an industrial designer I find this desk design to be painfully cringe. Granted, I didn't read the brief, so ludicrous expense may have in-fact been a requirement.
I know I’m a little late but I live near the Seattle area and I worked machine shops for a few years and these machines are cool but I’ve worked wayyy more complicated parts however they were for Boeing planes and laser surgery companies not a pc desk lol. I really wish I could have made a custom pc desk during my machining days! So cool to see the work behind everything keep up the good content!
9:15 rofl 🎉 I spent about 1 1/2 hours setting up a standing desk for a client and had the exact same issue! There is an accelerometer in the control unit and the control unit is not attached to the desk. When it detects that there is no movement of the control unit when you’re pushing the button, it activates a safety mechanism. As soon as you put the control unit on the desk and it moves in sync with the desk the issue is resolved. This is a sort of crash avoidance, safety mechanism, but it did take me about 45 minutes of sweating in front of a client to figure this out so extremely entertaining to see you guys reverse engineering the same problem I did! Isn’t the manual great?
Those exposed bolts and nuts though are such an eyesore. I hope for $100k there will be some cosmetic shielding to cover up those things before the final product.
That's really nice, but it just looks so metaly. I feel like someone like Nerdforge could really work her magic on it and make this super awesome. It just looks kind of plain. At the least some paint in places, but letting that girl work her magic could really make something special. She has an artistic, creative gift like no one I have ever saw. Good job none the less!! I guess if you have the money why not??
Machining everything on a CNC and then aligning parts with a big ass ruler instead using proper pins with a H7 /F8 fit or something is just mind blowing 😅
As soon as I realised this was for some UA-camr I'd never heard of I stopped watching. Thankfully this came months after another video you did, so I was pre-warned and could bail out early.
I'm glad Karl did do a video on it, I still remember that Hacksmith made one of those backpack lighter lightsabers for Mr. Beast to have and he never released that video.
Awesome Industrial looking desk, but instead of machining it from full material to hollow it out completely there probably would have been a better and possibly cheaper and faster way. Sandcast the whole structure with a lost model and then machine the details afterwards. Though I don't know if there would have been specialists in your area to do this
Looks insanely awesome and no doubt a fair bit of time went into designing this project, but I do feel like this could have been accomplished for significantly cheaper by *NOT* using massive Al billets. They could probably have saved significant material and machining costs by replacing certain pieces with sheet/plate aluminium and smaller machined billet sections, then tig welded sections together. Even the welds could be machined back if you were concerned by the aesthetics, as this isn't exactly a mission critical component with high structural loading. Also, you may want to apply some sort of transparent film coating (or use polymer washers) to the stainless bolts, or you will probably end up with some galvanic corrosion and/or discoloration between the aluminium and stainless components. PS. if anyone reading this ever installs a solar array on the roof of their house, I *highly* suggest you apply an anti-seize to the bolts (usually stainless) which are in the hold-down clamps... otherwise a few years (eg. 5+) you'll likely find you won't be able to undo the bolts (ie. shear off the heads, or round out the internal profile) if you need to remove panels for access to your roof space! Courtesy of galvanic corrosion...
When you hit cycle start on the haas I could hear the beep, the tool change and watched it rapid to the block. As soon as it touched the music starting playing and it sounded like the machine crashed for a second. My heart skipped a beat.
Fantastic use of material on the piece with 4 rectangualr holes, reducing hundreds of pounds of aluminum onto a piece which is thin enough to have been made with bent aluminum-sheet...

Great dynamic, kinda like a sitcom. And today I learned that 5052 aluminum is better for bends and 6061 aluminum is more structurally sound for an application like that desk. Funny, and I learned something that is useful. Thumbs up!
Another good thing to know that is that there are different types of stainless steel and most consumer products use the crappiest version which is barely rust resistant (No steel is perfectly rust resistant but the better versions aren't likely to rust in a noticeable way unless exposed to constant salt water or high temperatures and/or oxygen concentrations).
@@grn1 is 416r a good stainless steel? What type are you referring to as crappy?
@@ilovehotdogs125790 To be honest it's been a while since I've looked at the numbers so I don't remember which ones are which. I remember my old shop used to work with both 300 series and 400 series but I can't remember which one rusted almost as fast as regular steal. The better ones (from a rust resistance standpoint) tend to have higher concentrations of aluminum and/or other rare (ish) earth metals. They do tend to be softer though which is part of the reason why high carbon steal (not stainless) is still used in critical infrastructure (the other reason being that it cost less even with the extra precautions needed to protect it from the elements).
@@grn1 ah ok, good to know!
Tim is absolutely *the COOLEST*
Tim is a *gold mine*
Tim epitomizes the perfect Engineer.
i hope the new ceo gets comfy enough to just walk in and say no whenever linus is about to lift something
Gonna rewatch the first one(showcase) after this.
7:07 Linus' back and groin was never the same after that day. 😂
This PC turned out even cooler than we could've ever imagined!
This, DIY Perks, and Basically Homeless all uploading the most insane builds in the same 48 hours.
I remember seeing Tim in that coffee making video. Got REALLY into making coffee and just realized he's been working on this all this time lmao
At work I usually try to bring a little chaos to things similar to Linus in this episode, but watching this video helped me to realize just how much fear I probably instill in my coworkers.
I'm not going to stop though.
*[ coworkers sweat intensifies ]*
Lasercut, bent and welded aluminum was forbidden? You could later machine it and save days of machining and thousands of kilowatts. Also, savings on material would have been fenomenal.
no common sense was used lol
I mean yeah but being ridiculous was kind of the point. When you save money on the $100000 PC, it's no longer a $100000 PC. They ran out of sensible ways to spend money so this is what they did.
*phenomenal just so you know, but yeah agreed
@@IAmTheBugInsideYou thanks! Not a daily english speaking person. Got rusty.
@@janisvaskevics93 Yeah I thought it might have been a language thing no worries :)
I've built like 15 desks using similar legs. The controller has a gyroscope which detects tilt or unexpected movement. So holding it in your hand always causes this issue. Need to attach it to the desk or place it on the floor and not move it.
Interesting to know of that change.
I dealt with those legs in the video for "medical tables" that supported heavy and expensive medical equipment for over 10 years (but that was 5ish years ago), and none had gyro's.
The ones I dealt with had built in limit switches for top and bottom "mechanical limit stops" and a external safety switch on the bottom of the table to prevent crushing anyone's seated legs when lowering. Was the exact same calibration steps the video shows.
The "controller monitors current to each leg motor to determine "tilt" issues if one leg motor is working harder then the other. It's why the table would stop raising also in the video when they were calibrating the legs. The above average weight was drawing too much current and triggered a "stop command" incase it was crushing someone's hand. Note it will still hurt/do damage to soft human parts, DO NOT underestimate the power those legs have. I still have a pair of the 1st gen from a discarded table which I use for my own PC desk.
I havent seen Linus to have that spark in his eyes for a long time. You can tell he absolutely loves this project. :)
Although it's a little late ... Months late, would have liked to see it in a mock up gaming suite. Would have shown off the awesomeness. Only needed a couple minutes of it working, camera shot. For those of us who will never own such a work of art.
I love how he gives us a guide as if we have that kind of money for a car, let alone a pc
We literally walk to get groceries lol
This thing costs more than my wife and I's two cars. I guess I know what I'd spend money on now if I won the lottery
@@3nertia Isn't having a grocery store nearby with walkable streets already a luxury for many people?
@@fabiandrinksmilk6205 Who said the grocery store was nearby or that our streets were walkable? 😅
@@AlphaShadowSphere the first time I read your comment I started questioning how can a wife cost money, and then how much one would cost (lol)
if you ever win the lottery and get something like 1M it's best to put the money in a stable fund that gives you like 2% per year and just enjoy the yearly free 20k
Minecraft youtubers buying $100k PC is when you know the biggest recession is still to come
frfr
Well, in 20 years, it will be in a scrab pile on storage wars😂
@@zack9912000who said youre going to live that long to witness that
Not gonna lie, this design is very similar to the one I built about 7 years ago, very similar shape. Personally I think this is the most ergonomic design a PC desk can have, lots of leg room and enough room for the rads. Good job you guys.
Rectangle?
@@ALCRAN2010 I'm referring to the rads on the sides, components spread in the middle. Basically sides larger, mid thinner for the leg room, nice and symmetrical.
@@ALCRAN2010 actually I should have it posted it in the forums, probably archived. It didn't pick up steam on the forums, but I had some articles written about it too.
As a mech eng student soo happy to hear terms i know thrown around. another great video guys👍
I like this "BTS" of a video already released. Seems like production is allowed to be more chill then.
10:21 thanks jesus! just what I needed.
He was sent a cooler from the afterlife
Had the privilege of meeting Tim at LTX. Helped me liquid metal my Steam Deck, and even returned my lost SD card to me after. Tim's a really cool guy, and I'm glad he got the spotlight in this video.
I’m glad you had fun at LTX, I did too (: it was a good weekend for Steam Deck mods!
There is an easier way. You buy a desk with a drawer and a PC at the cost of $2000 both, then put the PC on the desk and $98000 cash, in the desk's drawer.
get the desk off of craigslist for an even better deal
Ah yes thank you. I'm stealing that idea!
The problem with that plan is that 2000$ is not enough for a computer without a monitor, desk and everything else. Just for the box i spent 3000€ and i don't even have 4090 in it.
the 4090 alone costs $2000
11:11 "Ooh wow, that is exTREmely tight." - "Thank you!" Love that interaction. Here's a guy that _knows_ he didn't fuck up, and everything is according to plan.
I was always against the tie fighter monitors until I tried it. My god is it peak productivity (when you have PowerToys FancyZones).
12:55 "are you just trying to make the workplace less hostile and toxic?" - that did not age well...
Hey linus/crew, How can it be you guy's didn't do a video on the framework 16" pre order opening yet? All spec's got released and we viewers got to know the opinion of the expert's ofcourse :)
Love the videos btw, keep it up! :)
Not yesterdays WAN show but iirc last week (or week prior at v latest) Linus talked about it!
This is a work of pure engineering expertise and whilst no person SHOULD spend $100k On a Computer/Desk or well really anything for that matter..
It was bloody well worth it.
no
wrong, this is the worst designed thing ive ever seen
I always enjoy seeing people get excited over machined material.
I love that Tim gets to be in front of the camera again after talking about the specifics of how he pours water onto his fancy coffee filters. makes me very happy
The bald guy looks like American Andrew Tate
Fr
I feel like I can empathize with the engineer who keeps being so happy that everything is fitting exactly as he planned while linus barely notices lol
I feel like I'm watching my entire life be played out in a short video
It was so cathartic. The entire day went way better than I had expected.
I love that when Jake doesn't have very much script he just kinda stands there like the apprentice who hasn't been taught anything yet so he just watches
This video was is closest thing I've seen to an episode of a car building/modding show, except tech. The last 4 minutes especially.
11:15 that's what he said
If this desk doesn’t make it to a museum in 30-50 years or so, I’ll be very upset.
2:41 wouldn't it be cheaper to order a custom casted piece rather than buy 5k$ brick and shave off most of it?
Like the Adam Savage workshop apron. You guys need to seriously do a collaboration with Tested. He could make a replica of a prop from a movie and you guys could put a custom PC in it.
Tim is giving some serious Dan energy here and I'm all for it
I feel like welding plates together then machining down would've been worthwhile for this. Doesn't seem like there was much to gain from machining from billet. Wire arc 3d printing would've been cool too if you could've found a company that can do it
Yeah, that machining was extremely wasteful. The millings going to recycling isn't quite good enough.
As an industrial designer I find this desk design to be painfully cringe. Granted, I didn't read the brief, so ludicrous expense may have in-fact been a requirement.
I really love Tim.
Would really like to see him more.
As a machinist, i really appreciate this kind of content. Sad im leaving the trade behind now that i just got a degree in computer science :(
i can't be the only person who finds it ironic he built a 100k PC for MINECRAFT.
A game that I can run flawlessly on my broken toaster.
when Tim mentioned the "Tolerancing" i felt like finally there is some use of what im studying in that damn college
Would’ve been interesting to see them keep the chips and try to make ingots or something!
They did say they all get recycled
@@randombrit13 yeah I know, but the possibilities!
I know I’m a little late but I live near the Seattle area and I worked machine shops for a few years and these machines are cool but I’ve worked wayyy more complicated parts however they were for Boeing planes and laser surgery companies not a pc desk lol. I really wish I could have made a custom pc desk during my machining days! So cool to see the work behind everything keep up the good content!
Always love the excitement of a machinist loving the trade
9:15 rofl 🎉 I spent about 1 1/2 hours setting up a standing desk for a client and had the exact same issue! There is an accelerometer in the control unit and the control unit is not attached to the desk. When it detects that there is no movement of the control unit when you’re pushing the button, it activates a safety mechanism. As soon as you put the control unit on the desk and it moves in sync with the desk the issue is resolved. This is a sort of crash avoidance, safety mechanism, but it did take me about 45 minutes of sweating in front of a client to figure this out so extremely entertaining to see you guys reverse engineering the same problem I did! Isn’t the manual great?
Those exposed bolts and nuts though are such an eyesore. I hope for $100k there will be some cosmetic shielding to cover up those things before the final product.
That's really nice, but it just looks so metaly. I feel like someone like Nerdforge could really work her magic on it and make this super awesome. It just looks kind of plain. At the least some paint in places, but letting that girl work her magic could really make something special. She has an artistic, creative gift like no one I have ever saw. Good job none the less!! I guess if you have the money why not??
Machining everything on a CNC and then aligning parts with a big ass ruler instead using proper pins with a H7 /F8 fit or something is just mind blowing 😅
LTT always bringing together different nerd communities...I am a Tech and Machining nerd...this was a very satisfying video!
fun fact, the Astrera LED tubes are RGBMA, M is for mint colour LED so it can produce Pascal colours, A is Amber LED
As soon as I realised this was for some UA-camr I'd never heard of I stopped watching. Thankfully this came months after another video you did, so I was pre-warned and could bail out early.
I'm glad Karl did do a video on it, I still remember that Hacksmith made one of those backpack lighter lightsabers for Mr. Beast to have and he never released that video.
Just a note that you have a chapter for 19:60 in the description, which is not a real time stamp. Love the video!
I have no idea who Karl is but I love watching Linus and crew build crazy setups.
"Your stressing me out Tim!" "That's ok😁"
3:27 This video has indeed been aggressively cut, just like that desk.
"Are you trying to make the workplace less hostile and toxic because thats just like..." like what linus?
Awesome Industrial looking desk, but instead of machining it from full material to hollow it out completely there probably would have been a better and possibly cheaper and faster way.
Sandcast the whole structure with a lost model and then machine the details afterwards.
Though I don't know if there would have been specialists in your area to do this
11:57 "can we get benifits" was funny to me
Tim being in this video just made it. We need more Tim!
Linus:- Did we account for it?
Alex:- Yes.
Linus:- Are you sure?
Alex:- I have absolutely no idea.
LMAO!🤣🤣
Looks insanely awesome and no doubt a fair bit of time went into designing this project, but I do feel like this could have been accomplished for significantly cheaper by *NOT* using massive Al billets. They could probably have saved significant material and machining costs by replacing certain pieces with sheet/plate aluminium and smaller machined billet sections, then tig welded sections together. Even the welds could be machined back if you were concerned by the aesthetics, as this isn't exactly a mission critical component with high structural loading.
Also, you may want to apply some sort of transparent film coating (or use polymer washers) to the stainless bolts, or you will probably end up with some galvanic corrosion and/or discoloration between the aluminium and stainless components.
PS. if anyone reading this ever installs a solar array on the roof of their house, I *highly* suggest you apply an anti-seize to the bolts (usually stainless) which are in the hold-down clamps... otherwise a few years (eg. 5+) you'll likely find you won't be able to undo the bolts (ie. shear off the heads, or round out the internal profile) if you need to remove panels for access to your roof space! Courtesy of galvanic corrosion...
When you hit cycle start on the haas I could hear the beep, the tool change and watched it rapid to the block. As soon as it touched the music starting playing and it sounded like the machine crashed for a second. My heart skipped a beat.
That cutaway clip from EK *chefs kiss
Man, 12:56 hits different now 👀 I sincerely hope LTT can work their way through this crisis
I'll always love the mild chaos Alex brings. This PC turned out even cooler than we could've ever imagined!.
Fantastic use of material on the piece with 4 rectangualr holes, reducing hundreds of pounds of aluminum onto a piece which is thin enough to have been made with bent aluminum-sheet...
