Linus: Ooh. 2 00:00:02.836 --> 00:00:05.839 David: I'll give you one guess which one was Team Alex. 3 00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:07.107 Linus: Team Alex. 4 00:00:07.107 --> 00:00:09.242 Well, is that broken glass? 5 00:00:09.242 --> 00:00:15.148 David: Yeah, the, uh, a team tried to laser. 6 00:00:15.148 --> 00:00:16.349 Linus: Oh, no. 7 00:00:16.349 --> 00:00:19.352 See, I would have known Team Alex would go stock CPU cooler 8 00:00:19.352 --> 00:00:22.522 and then cram in the largest possible GPU, 9 00:00:22.522 --> 00:00:25.825 but I couldn't tell which one. 10 00:00:25.825 --> 00:00:28.261 Linus: Do you want to know the specs before you guess? 11 00:00:28.261 --> 00:00:29.462 Linus: I don't even need it. 12 00:00:29.462 --> 00:00:31.831 There's no way that Plouffe would not use an aftermarket cooler. 13 00:00:31.831 --> 00:00:32.532 That's Plouffe 14 00:00:32.532 --> 00:00:33.299 David: Oh, he's right. 15 00:00:33.299 --> 00:00:35.602 He knows his staff. 16 00:00:35.602 --> 00:00:36.503 Yeah. 17 00:00:36.503 --> 00:00:37.837 Linus: I work with them every day. 18 00:00:37.837 --> 00:00:38.705 David: Yeah. 19 00:00:38.705 --> 00:00:40.573 Linus: That's all I needed to know. 20 00:00:40.573 --> 00:00:43.977 And the David one is going to be like, yeah, cable management. 21 00:00:43.977 --> 00:00:44.944 What's cable management? 22 00:00:44.944 --> 00:00:45.879 David: Don't look at the back. 23 00:00:48.748 --> 00:00:50.850 Linus: See, I don't need to know that much to just, 24 00:00:50.850 --> 00:00:55.055 like, nail who built these. 25 00:00:55.055 --> 00:00:57.757 Plouffe and Adam have handled more of the benchmarking videos 26 00:00:57.757 --> 00:00:58.258 lately. 27 00:00:58.258 --> 00:01:00.293 And I can see they saved some money 28 00:01:00.293 --> 00:01:03.663 going with an mATX motherboard. 29 00:01:03.663 --> 00:01:06.066 They also seemed to feel that they needed 30 00:01:06.066 --> 00:01:07.867 such a high performance cooler. 31 00:01:07.867 --> 00:01:10.437 I think Plouffe and Adam came in second for performance, 32 00:01:10.437 --> 00:01:12.138 but only if you're playing a game that 33 00:01:12.138 --> 00:01:13.973 doesn't require ray tracing. 34 00:01:13.973 --> 00:01:15.975 Because that looks like an NVIDIA GPU. 35 00:01:15.975 --> 00:01:16.776 David: They're all AMDs. 36 00:01:16.776 --> 00:01:18.378 Linus: Oh, you guys all went AMD. 37 00:01:18.378 --> 00:01:19.946 David: Price to performance, baby. 38 00:01:19.946 --> 00:01:22.515 Linus: I think Alex's team won for performance. 39 00:01:22.515 --> 00:01:25.652 I think that Team Adam and Plouffe came s-oh... Plouffe 40 00:01:25.652 --> 00:01:28.254 Plouffe is the most out of touch of all of us, though. 41 00:01:28.254 --> 00:01:31.091 David: He's the 149er. 42 00:01:31.091 --> 00:01:32.559 What do you call them, 49ers? 43 00:01:32.559 --> 00:01:33.893 49-ers? 44 00:01:33.893 --> 00:01:38.331 David: He's like, don't you people have OLED monitors? 45 00:01:38.331 --> 00:01:39.999 Just picture him on stage that way. 46 00:01:39.999 --> 00:01:43.903 David: “It's a budget monitor, it's only $2,000!” 47 00:01:43.903 --> 00:01:47.107 Linus: As for who most closely guessed the cost of their system, 48 00:01:47.107 --> 00:01:48.908 I don't think you can be beat on this. 49 00:01:48.908 --> 00:01:54.614 I'm a little bit scared at how well Linus knows us. 50 00:01:54.681 --> 00:01:56.616 We were so spot on. 51 00:01:56.616 --> 00:01:59.018 Linus: Wow. 52 00:01:59.018 --> 00:02:01.521 Well, he's the Facebook Marketplace king. 53 00:02:01.521 --> 00:02:03.156 This is what this guy does. 54 00:02:03.156 --> 00:02:05.558 I don't even remember who was on your team. 55 00:02:05.558 --> 00:02:07.460 Hold on, no, no, it was Jordan. 56 00:02:07.460 --> 00:02:10.096 Yeah, and Jordan's methodical. 57 00:02:10.096 --> 00:02:11.231 He's a methodical man. 58 00:02:11.231 --> 00:02:12.932 It's actually kind of scary. 59 00:02:12.932 --> 00:02:14.534 Like, you think about how much time 60 00:02:14.534 --> 00:02:16.402 you spend with people working together 61 00:02:16.402 --> 00:02:19.506 compared to how much time you spend with your family. 62 00:02:19.506 --> 00:02:23.443 It's like, you know, I don't know, man. 63 00:02:23.443 --> 00:02:25.812 David: If I got eight hours at home with my family every day, 64 00:02:25.812 --> 00:02:27.547 I would be so happy. 65 00:02:27.547 --> 00:02:29.782 I don't get that. 66 00:02:29.782 --> 00:02:32.385 Linus: As for Alex and Elijah, they don't really 67 00:02:32.385 --> 00:02:34.854 get bogged down in those kinds of details. 68 00:02:34.854 --> 00:02:38.892 I actually don't think Plouffe or Adam do either. 69 00:02:38.892 --> 00:02:40.560 They'll look it up when it's time for us 70 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.862 to make a value argument for you guys, 71 00:02:42.862 --> 00:02:45.231 but I suspect both of these are pretty far off. 72 00:02:45.231 --> 00:02:46.666 So let's have a look. 73 00:02:46.666 --> 00:02:48.134 David: Not too far. 74 00:02:48.134 --> 00:02:49.402 Linus: $1,249?

85 00:03:05.018 --> 00:03:05.518 David: Yeah. 86 00:03:05.518 --> 00:03:06.186 Linus: Who won? 87 00:03:06.186 --> 00:03:07.954 David: There's two things that went into it. 88 00:03:07.954 --> 00:03:10.623 One is how far over $1,000 they were, 89 00:03:10.623 --> 00:03:12.859 but also which is the most attractive system 90 00:03:12.859 --> 00:03:14.394 got a 10% boost. 91 00:03:14.427 --> 00:03:16.763 So I want you to judge which system you think 92 00:03:16.763 --> 00:03:18.598 is the most attractive, and if that's 93 00:03:18.598 --> 00:03:21.000 the same one you think we thought was the most attractive. 94 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.404 Linus: Does the glass shattering count? 95 00:03:24.404 --> 00:03:26.506 David: I don't want to say anything. 96 00:03:26.506 --> 00:03:27.373 David: I see. 97 00:03:27.373 --> 00:03:30.910 David: But do you think we would have given that point? 98 00:03:30.910 --> 00:03:33.880 Linus: I actually take Bite Me for looks. 99 00:03:33.880 --> 00:03:34.514 David: I agree. 100 00:03:34.514 --> 00:03:38.985 Sadly, Team DDR420 took four of the six votes. 101 00:03:38.985 --> 00:03:42.622 Linus: Really, with all that GPU sag and that tiny motherboard 102 00:03:42.622 --> 00:03:43.756 inside that giant case? 103 00:03:43.756 --> 00:03:45.792 Linus: I really wish you were here when we were voting. 104 00:03:45.792 --> 00:03:47.560 So the overall winner was Plouffe and Alex, 105 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:49.829 because they had the lowest price differential, 106 00:03:49.829 --> 00:03:51.898 even though they lost in the benchmarks, 107 00:03:51.898 --> 00:03:53.900 with the 10% boost that pushed them over the edge. 108 00:03:53.900 --> 00:03:54.400 Linus: Right. 109 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.135 So it was just their guess that was wrong. 110 00:03:56.135 --> 00:03:58.938 They were actually very, very close to the target budget. 111 00:03:58.938 --> 00:04:00.473 David: The big challenge we found is, 112 00:04:00.473 --> 00:04:03.509 when you're picking stuff like RAM or SSD, 113 00:04:03.509 --> 00:04:05.345 are you lucky enough to pick the week 114 00:04:05.345 --> 00:04:07.347 that G.Skill RAM is on sale? 115 00:04:07.347 --> 00:04:08.047 Linus: Yeah. 116 00:04:08.047 --> 00:04:09.949 David: Because we were pricing based off the lowest 117 00:04:09.949 --> 00:04:12.218 price on PC part picker. 118 00:04:12.218 --> 00:04:14.053 Linus: There’s a lot of that. 119 00:04:14.053 --> 00:04:18.224 There's a ton of that, where because DRAM is a commodity, 120 00:04:18.224 --> 00:04:19.859 it tends to go up and down. 121 00:04:19.859 --> 00:04:22.695 And sometimes, when one brand hedges correctly 122 00:04:22.695 --> 00:04:24.464 and another one doesn't, they're going 123 00:04:24.464 --> 00:04:26.366 to be priced way more aggressively, 124 00:04:26.366 --> 00:04:28.434 while the other one kind of waits for the market 125 00:04:28.434 --> 00:04:32.472 to catch up or waits for it to move farther away, 126 00:04:32.472 --> 00:04:34.974 and they just have to eat it. 127 00:04:34.974 --> 00:04:37.744 David: I had so much fun, but we came in third. 128 00:04:37.744 --> 00:04:39.112 Linus: Oh, I think you guys did great. 129 00:04:39.112 --> 00:04:39.912 I like your system. 130 00:04:39.912 --> 00:04:42.949 David: Yeah, our big killer was, when we were looking for the parts, 131 00:04:42.949 --> 00:04:44.817 we only had 45 seconds per part. 132 00:04:44.817 --> 00:04:48.588 And so we ended up looking for a B660M motherboard, 133 00:04:48.588 --> 00:04:52.292 but we ended up with a Z690. 134 00:04:52.292 --> 00:04:58.164 And so that was a $270 mistake, versus $100, $140, or whatever. 135 00:04:58.164 --> 00:05:00.733 Linus: Yeah, you guys would have nailed it then
