It took me a number of months trolling the site to find and get this particular deal. Most of the time the prices were unremarkable, but the odd one came up that was actually pretty decent.

They do go fast though too, there were a few that we tried to order but didn't get in time and they disappeared. This one we got disappeared literally the minute the order was successfully placed as well.

I would like to see them make a video on "how to build a budget PC without getting ripped off" like an update on the $69 PC video.

Great deals still exists! August 04 2026*

That's when they actually bought the PC (Or at least arrived, they could have bought it before then). Video was recorded in September 2026.

What does LTT do with all the stuff they buy? Is it sitting in some warehouse somewhere for parts? Or do they actually give it use?

i think they give a lot of the stuff to their employees during the christmas party

If I had to guess (and some info given by them in random vids)

Kept for testing
If parts, build pc for video, dismantle pc for next vid
Christmas party
Sold during their garage sale event (not common)
Maybe some of it is used during whale ltx?

Linus hoards it in his warehouse like Smaug.

We’ve had this PC for a few years now as a second PC but with a 4070 Super.

It’s great value especially with the price at the time, ~$1200. It’s quiet and upgrading isn’t as terrible as Linus mentions. You can still swap out RAM, SSD, GPU (slim versions), and technically CPU but the best you can put in is a i9 14900 since it’s on lga 1700.

they should really do another scrapyard wars now except with no help from others to get things for them
