This is why I have trust issues. This is way too much waifu. Again, it's
the year of the rabbit and to celebrate Chinese New Year, we are roasting the
wackiest setups from our audience in
China, a place that's known for coming up with unusual solutions to
technological challenges. Yeah, this should be fun. Like everywhere else in
the world, gamers in China are creative, occasionally janky, and very, very
roastable. Just like this segue to our sponsor, Build Redux. Build Redux makes
it easy to configure your new build with support guides to help along the way.
They also offer competitive pricing as compared to building the PC yourself.
Head to buildred redux.com/Linus to start your new build today.
Two questions out of the gate. One, why are we using Outlook? and two, where on
earth we're getting these submissions from? I'm gonna do the second one first.
You guys probably don't realize that we have a massive following on
billybilly.com in China, which came about because there was a group that was
pirating our videos, translating them, and re-uploading. We then hired those
same people to officially translate them and maintain an official channel there.
We're almost at a million subscribers. So, if you're in China, go check it out.
As for why we're using Outlook, well, we weren't sure if having screenshots of
Gmail would get the video banned fair,
right? I'm pretty sure it's fine to receive like email, but like it just,
you know, tried to avoid that, you know, and we needed some way for people to
contact us, and it sure as heck wasn't going to be Twitter. So, yeah, Hotmail.
First up, we've got Engine Woo, who made a DIY version of Razer's Project
Valerie. Is Is that Lego? This is so
much better than I thought it was. It's actually like aligned properly. No, it's
not Lego. No, that's carbon fiber. This
is like custom fab carbon fiber hinges
on two additional displays. Then it's just like a bracket that holds it on the
back of the laptop's original screen and then these carbonfiber fabricated arms
hold the additional displays in place. This is better than the commercial
solutions I've seen. Clumsy. Yeah, I
know, right? This ain't clumsy at all.
Oh god. Oh, okay. That's cheating. That's cheating. Okay. Now you're
automatically the best setup. I mean, clean your desk, but yeah, it says full
of power.
Andy's here to help us. All right. What kind of case is this? The input output
case. No, I don't see any other branding. Why is that insulated? Wait.
Hey. Hey. Is that a chiller? No. Oh, does he have a chiller? No way. Chilled
setup. Rocking the RTX. That's going to be a
3090, I think. Is that Hold on. There's a
temperature reading. 16° on the return
coolant. It looks like Oh, that's interesting. That's not that cold, which
makes sense because you don't actually want condensation to form. They probably
have that fine control so they can run it exactly as cool as they want. Is it
even worth it then? No. Yeah. No, it's just awesome. Oh, okay. I like exactly.
I am loving some of the redneck engineering I'm seeing here. This is
like Taran's desk all over again. Wait, it's a square monitor. I have that on my
desk. I've never seen one in the wild. I actually really like this setup. You got
to give respect to the people who appreciate a proper audio setup. When I
see a pair of speakers behind a multimonitor setup, I lose my crap. I
can't handle it. Hey, I have big speakers. All right. Yeah, this is a
little anime for me. He's got some sound foam and for
curious. Oh, yeah. Maybe for streaming. Is there a Is there a microphone I'm
missing over here somewhere? Well, that explains it. Wow. So, the recording
setup is probably sick, but not for vocals. But what are we not
supposed to be looking at? Got a L. Big on master power supplies.
Yeah. Okay. Core i9. All right. You know, it's funny. When back when I did
the build with Strange Parts, my intention was to go into the tech mall
and buy only brands I'd never heard of before. I was shocked to see how many
Chinese stores are just full of the exact same products that I would find
here in North America. Made there. Right. Of course. But like that's never
what makes the headlines. Yeah. Okay. This wide shot though. Wow. Wa. Look at
the ceiling. He's got a cool ceiling. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. Go through the
plug. Go to the plug. This guy is not in
China. What is that? It's probably North America. That doesn't look like a North
American plug. That doesn't look like a Chinese plug. Yeah, that's a North
American plug. Jake, what? Look, that's an ROG logo. Big liar. No, you're out.
You're done. This looks sick. This is
RGB. WA done. You know, god. Endgame
RGB. Who needs a screen at this point? You know what am I looking at here?
Edifier. Is that your subwoofer/v
volume knob? Like here's the speaker. Yeah. Yeah. These are the edifier ones.
Like the old You spent all the money on your PC and you have no money on your
speakers. Yeah, those are colder disconnects. They look jank, but those
are the bomb. Is that the heating? Wait.
Wait. No. No. Did they do whole room
water cooling? Hold on. Hold on. No. I want to see it. Andy, these are
insulated. Why is it Look at those zip ties. Oh my god. Wait, is that just a
distribution plate? Oh my god. What the
is that water loops with a heat exchanger? The
big tank is a heat exchanger. So this is what this is a chiller. It might be
outside. Oh, so he's got a thing outside. Yeah,
this is outside. Yeah, it's brick wall. So, this has got to be the the
something. And it's insulated. So, this has to be cold. This has to be cold
side. Yeah. What an unnecessarily elaborate setup. Can we see this? I like
it. It's a 13900 K and a Oh, no. He's got two GPUs. There it is. There. Oh, it
totally is. It totally is. What the
The problem is this is like XL case. You can't even say that you're like you're
mining to heat your house cuz then you're using refrigeration. Yeah. Why do
you have two GPUs? This is next level.
This just like stresses me out. You know, those are some big fat tubes for a
very small water block. Yes. The GP is very special. I tap that. Is that a Hall
of Fame? I think it is. I think that's like a Galax weird Galax Hall of Fame.
Hey, look. Look at that. Hey,
cherry rig everything. Knife. Love it. Doodleted CPA. Oh, wait. That is a
gigantic soundbar. You're not actually supposed to sit that close to a soundar.
Sound bars. Heat killer. That's a name
I've not heard in a long time. These used to be pretty popular. These
external water cooling things. I am liking this. That might be a Heat
Killer. Made in Germany. It's probably Heat Killer. Heat Killer was known for
having okay performance but like really
nice looking stuff. I don't like the Trident Z Royal. I will never like
Trident Z Royal. It's awful. No, you can't see it anyway. Oh no, it's so a
Yeah, you can't see it. So why would you buy it anyway? No, it's cool. Oh, it's
stupid. It's cool. Oh no. Beside the back panel's missing. You can't have a
gorgeous system like this and be like, I don't know if I'm going to put the back
panel. You just need cooling for that SSD back there. Oo, very trendy. Table.
Got the tissues.
I like how like a quarter of his desk is taken up by the computer. You could just
put that thing on top of the computer and take up half as much space. What is
wrong with you? I'm trying to I'm trying to get it to I'm trying Also, what is
this?
Just works. Oh. Oh. Can't believe you've
done this. I can't believe you've done this.
Whoa. That's That's pretty. That is an
absolutely sick setup. I'm a little
confused why some of them are fittings for the corners and other ones are not.
Maybe I guess it's just a style. Yeah, it could just be aesthetic. Yeah. Like,
okay, would you want to do in hardline
metal, would you want to do this bend and this bend and try and get them
perfect? Yeah, probably. If you're going through the effort of bending metal. No.
No, man. I I wouldn't I would I would do one bend for sure. And then it's just
90. It's a cop out. You're going to look at this build and be like cop out. Look.
What a hater. You haven't done metal tubing, have you? You're a hater. Yeah,
you're being a hater. I am being a hater. Okay, that's pretty dope. See,
don't be a hater. Yeah, I just I always
have wanted to build like an open concept computer and then you look at
how dusty your computer gets closed concept and you're like no.
Oh my god. Looks like he builds computers. Maybe he's runs like a mini
SI business out of his apartment. Yeah, I could see that. I mean, if I could
build computers like that, people would probably come to me and ask me to build them. Yeah. From time to time. Clean up
your goddamn room. Why do you have a TV sitting on chairs? Yeah. Yeah. Wait,
what? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Are
these design files? Soap bottle for a
computer in a laundry detergent bottle? Yep. Is it mineral oil? Is it submersion
cooled? No. Oh, there's a fan on the side. What do you mean? Oh, I I thought
it was inside.
No way. Oh, that's awful. So, basically,
the only two things you need on your desk are your computer and your tissue
box. Yeah. Does he have a LED in the pump? I think so.
So, this this is a frame that was fabricated to Oh, it's a it's a it's a
stove. It's a little stove. Look at that. It's a camp stove. Oh, wait. This
is a separate machine. Yeah, it's a separate machine. Yeah.
Oh, that's amazing. I like where you put the fan at the top. That's awesome. I
think this guy has a channel and a video like about those. Oh, that's such a
smart place to put a little oneU power supply. Oh, I like it. I like it. And
the best part is you can pull all the stuff up and still like access it.
Totally. Totally. This is one of those mods that's actually probably more
usable when you're done with it. Dude, if you could adjust the fan speed with
the knob, that would be pretty baller. All right. This one's pretty cool, huh?
Okay, it's the ultimate portable setup. It almost looks like a Lego Technic
project, but really of like fabricated.
Big heavy hinge for the kickstand. Door hinges. Who needs a Microsoft Surface?
Am I right? The edges. You got to be careful with
this thing. Yeah, more like the Microsoft weapon. Imagine bringing this
bronze. That is not a real 80 plus bronze sticker.
That is orange. screws look like they're starting to rust.
All corroded. It's probably for the look. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Really? It's
really enhancing it for me. I don't know, Andy. I think those might just be
old screws. Wait, what? Hold on. No,
those are monitor arms. Data. Okay. What is Dataland? I've never heard of
Dataland before. Let's go, Jake. Wait, they're on Newegg. No way. 68. Well,
they were 6800 XT. Yeah, they're on New This is sick.
DIY monitor stand computer.
Oh. Huh. I have never seen someone DIY a
monitor stand with vase mounts. Is dust like not a thing in China? It's
definitely a thing in China. Yeah. So, why is everybody building these open
concept PCs? Maybe they just clean their house once in a while. So, okay. All
right. Why is it in a box? It might be a little It's one of those desk things.
It's in a little alco. It's like one of those. It's probably like a dorm. Oh.
Oh, check your privilege, man. God, what?
Okay. Well, if you have headphones like this, my question's valid. Okay. Is the
monitor on a little tripod?
What's up with this bezel? Did you just buy Oh my god. That's like a That's a
tablet tripod. Look, look at the top. Look at the top. You see the other part
of the clamp? Yeah.
Did you DIY this monitor? That is not a
good place for your wireless router. Um, signal kind of audio interface of some
sort. Looks like a headphone amp. I am loving the left side numpad by the way.
That is an a player move. And I'm liking the classy wood wrist rest. Do you
remember when I pitched this video idea? What? the cheapest NAS setup where it
was just going to be like four pieces of extrusion and just a tower of external
hard drives. You buy cheap HBAs that have the external connectors on eBay
because those tend to be lower price and then we just build an external CD tower
essentially of hard drives. Someone did it on a smaller scale. I don't know if
that's going to help with uh filtering,
but at least you won't poke your finger in the fan. It's a grill, which is a
real problem that affects many people. This is a computer made with idle
motherboard. Bazooka Plus. The Bazook. It's in the motherboard box.
I don't know how much I believe that this is actually his setup because the
hot glue gun is sitting right there. Yeah, I don't I It also looks like like
he cut holes for the power supply and then realized there was no space.
Wait, how cute. You see the other ones? The power supply.
It's on top of the motherboard.
Oh my god. The funny thing is RPG inhor.
I think that's just a really bad direct translation from the English.
Ironically, there's a pretty disrespectful word for poor translations
from Chinese to English. Do you guys have an equivalent term for that? Yes,
we do. When I was a kid, I watched like CCTV 6, which is like China Central
Television, but the movie channel. They always have like, you know, like the the
Chinese speaking, but like Western movies. Sure. So that translation is
like, "Hey, I'm going to kick your butt." Hi.
It just sounds really weird in a way. So
like we call that like translate tone.
Translate tone. Yeah. So, how did they end up with that?
RPG enhanced. RPG enhanced comes from the
Bazooka Plus. Ew. Wait, wait, hold on.
This is a water cooled laptop. Shut up.
Quick disconnects. That Did you make your own quick connect fittings? I don't
think so. I think they're just quick disconnects, but they leak. What is
growing on your mouse, brother? I think that might be grim tape. And this might
be the external reservoir radiator unit, right? Oh my god. Why? If it's going to
be this big and this not portable cuz it
leaks all over the place, you need to get a desktop, brother. You need to get
some clamps on this tube here. Like cuz
it's like the one that goes out. Yeah. Is there no photos of how it like
connects? No, it just goes into the laptop. It must be like one that you
bought a water block. So, you can't use it without it being connected. So, you
might as well have a desktop. Uh, yeah.
Um, okay. What is this? A Hackintosh? Is that what I'm
looking at here? Mac station. What are those? Is this a giant soundbar that you
couldn't even have centered under your monitor? Yeah. These Wi-Fi antennas,
though. My goodness. You know, you can get your own access point. Okay. You
don't have to take it from your neighbor down the street.
The black can next is a DIY audio system. Are these speakers?
Are those like real cans? Yeah, like soda cans. They kind of look like soda
cans. But are they just speakers? They look like speakers. They totally are
speakers. Why? What? In what universe is
that an optimal setup for anything? Plus, you have the soundbar. But why
would you want your subs like in your computer? I live with my parents in Shanghai. Here's one side of my room.
Oh, I like it. Oh, were those things?
Look at this. Look at these cable management tracks. Are they lights? I
want this in my house. If you have plug underneath your desk, why do you need
that? Well, or HDMI. Yeah, whatever.
That's freaking awesome. I mean, it doesn't like look amazing, but it it
looks a lot more amazing than running it across the floor. Yeah. Not as good as
running cable channel along the top of the ceiling, but it's it's not bad. I
like it. I You don't need to hide cables if they have some style. I'm into it.
Also loving the badminton racket. Very nice. I can't tell what racket it is.
GTX 560s or something like that out there. 560. Yeah. Got the swing bar. Oh,
that stupid light. So stupid. It is stupid. You don't need a light pointing
at your screen. Do you have any idea how much engineering has gone into reducing
light shining back at you from the screen? I think you should just try it
for a month. No, I don't need to. I don't need to. I want as little possible
distraction and light on my screen. There's none. Everything's labeled and
colorcoded. I love it. This is not
necessary.
Front. Okay. I can understand labeling fans maybe. Yeah. But the rest of this
Yes, that's a SATA cable. I mean, if you're just going to label Yeah, if
you're going to say which one, fine. But
if you're just going to label it, SATA say,
is that your pump block? No, that's a GPU block, Jake. Oh my god. They used to
have a water cooled GPU and he just left. And we're like, eh,
like, is it leaking too? He's got like a tissue. He's got a paper towel under it.
Oh, no. And how are these fans even
mounted to this radiator? Is it tight? There's some screws. There's also zip
ties. There's also zip ties. They also don't fit at all. You need to top up
your reservoir. Also, this is for filling the reservoir. It goes the other
way. This is not a cap. This goes in. This is not a lid.
My goodness. Nope. That's all the context we get. Jake, this is why I have
trust issues. This is their Minecraft server,
apparently, by the way. Oh, sick. Need a slimline optical for my Minecraft
server. Stop drawing on your desk. Yeah. Can you
not do that, please? Like for real. Also, what's your
keyboard doing way over? Look at that tissue.
It's like a used tissue. Thing is tissue. What the No, this is a gigantic
fireheiser. Don't solder over your computer. What? Yeah, this is on. Yeah.
Look at all the USB. Oh, no. I think this is the Minecraft server. Is this is
that the board with all the motherboard? No, I don't think so. It's got a Wait,
wait, wait. What is that? Why has got a pillow display connection? ITX and
Minecraft server in my room because I have to take my PC to university that it
must be ITX type. However, there's not enough room for me to place the disc. So, I had to hang it outside. Can I see
one more time? Then there's no other pictures. Jake, I'm afraid that's all we
get. So many questions. No amount of
looking at this is going pillow. Like, is that where his bed is? I don't know,
Jake. It's fine. This is stressing me out. Oh god. Oh my god. Oh, I'm liking
the ducted AC to the rig. Wait, is that
It's not AC. It's a blower fan. It's a fan. Okay. And then it just blows over
the GPU. What?
Why? Bringing the air from the room
directly to the GPU. You could just put a fan taking up half your room. No,
Jake. This is the right way. What model is it? M40. M60. Oh, wait. It's an M60.
That might actually Hold on. An M60 might actually No, that might be why.
I love it. You could still just put a fan there. Well, you could. It's not a
quadrant. It's a Tesla. Yeah, you could 3D print a shroud or whatever, but if
they need the first time with that CMP, you know what? I used duct tape. I made
a thing out of duct tape and that worked. And this is this one. This is
their duct tape. Equally elegant. Great wind power supply. They got two of them.
They've got multiple Great Winds. Wait, there's one we missed. Yuki ANS messaged
us.
What are we looking at? I don't know how this guy gets it, but he has early
samples of all the wildest stuff
and he's trolling me basically. I want to see him put it in his mouth. Clearly
trolling. I have no idea what I'm looking at here, but it's blacked out,
so I can pretty much promise you that it is like nextG and no one's seen it. Oh,
you know what? I bet it is cuz he gets like the wildest Intel stuff. This is
probably uh Sapphire Rapids Max. No, no, no. The GPU thing. Oh. Um the the the
Ponte Veio. Look at this Intel board. It's got to be like this big. What does
this even go in? Internal use only. Everest. Everest. I don't know if I've
ever seen one of those. I think Everest was a proposed product for like an even
faster that era something that bigtown
Everest CPUs were used for high frequency stock trading. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's super cool. So, there's some of those like um
like specifically made for one company kind of thing. So, here's one. It's on
x86 guide sandy bridge six core 12thread
4.4 GHz. Oh, and here's a Hyon 24 core
Hygon. I've been trying to get my hands on one
of these for It's an epic socket. It's SP3. Yeah, it's it's that it's that
Chinese epic. This one is simply labeled
pragmatism. You roll out of bed, you get in your chair. That chair looks brutally
uncomfortable. What? Where? So, when you have a friend coming over, you can just
sit in your bed and your friend can use your own PC on the other side. Is there
like is that leg holes? You can put your legs down there. Maybe. Okay, that's all
we get. The word pragmatism and those two pictures.
That's clean. Wait, what? No fans. DI what is DIY ape? So that's a Billy
creator. That's pretty sick. But it's pretty cool. All the port is on the back
and that creator collab with like some of the manufacturer and they make that
type of board. That's pretty cool. Hi dear friend. This is the suitcase
computer I made. It is 41 in long. Nice.
I don't know about that ventilation. You might need more than that. It looks
cool. Can confirm that is a suitcase.
Wait, what? Is that a laptop? It's a laptop that
doesn't have the top cover with the keyboard anymore. Is this the cooler
right there? Oh my god. What are you doing, bud? This
is your VR. That's their VR setup. Okay. What is What on earth is this? So, he's
got a Mac. Yeah. And then also the PC that is that laptop. Yeah. Okay. He's
got the stupid light, too. No, it's not stupid. It is stupid. Not stupid. So
stupid. So stupid. You guys try it. Hey,
that's cool. That's sick. I don't know how. Okay. I don't know about this.
Yeah. Or all the cables hanging down. Is this masking tape? Uh, okay. My initial
reaction was E.
Yeah. There you go. Don't kick your wall. Clean your toe jam off the wall.
Ew. After a couple months, there's barely any dust. Ooh, this is pretty.
This is a sick setup. Have some proper photos. What's there to say other than
that? It's gorgeous. Yeah, it's like IKEA pegboard. Love it. Cool. A
transparent screen. This one. Oh, cool. Yeah, this is like a DIY one. I haven't
seen somebody DIY this in a long time. Oh. Oh, that's awesome.
basically took the internals of a monitor without the backlight and then
just made a side panel out of it. Yeah, that's pretty cool. What RAM is that?
King. Super cool. King Win King Bank.
King Bank. Wait, are they running off a Steam Deck? No way. Oh, I like it. Yeah,
they're on the dock. There it is. There's the dock. Oh, yeah. Yep. And
they're just running Windows. You could run Windows. Oh, they're running lots of things. Hold on a second. Here's your
subwoofer. There's your Aver Media capture card. There's your Nintendo.
There's your Xbox. There's your PlayStation. There's your Naz. This is
about the most dense setup I think I've ever seen. Got your Wii U. Turn them all
on. I dare you. I think he is running. Oh, no. No.
Clean it. It's like too much waifu tempo thing. Yeah. Ooh, that's that's a lot of
life-siz waifu. Um,
that one just looks kind of cool. Yeah.
I mean, I'm ignoring the background. Yeah, there's definitely too much waifu.
What is it with these? It's got to open.
It's the briefcase cardboard PC. All right. Oh, this is a
GPU that we I was trying to buy this
thing. Yes. What is it? What is it? The Sakura. the Chinese brand. Is that a
normal Steam background? Can you do that? No, that's Chinese Steam. Oh, it
has like themes. I don't know. It's Mac.
Oh. Oh, wait. What? Yeah. What are we even looking at here? No, it's not a
Mac. It's just Maybe it is a Mac. Oh my god. It is a Mac. Wait, where's the Mac
though? So confused now. Is a Hackintosh. Is that an AMD GPU? Cuz then
it could be a Hackintosh. Probably. But why? I don't know about running that
stuff on a Hackintosh. Could it just be like a a Mac skin? It's like the bar on
the bottom looks a little sus. 3080 is always off. No, it wouldn't be a
collector. Just here's the shelf on your shelf and you just shelf your computer.
This motherboard is just balanced there. Just vibing. He's got Oh, he's got like
the shelf. He's got a door. It's this book. You see like the door? He didn't
have screws for the acrylic, so it zip ties on the hinge.
Oh, come on. Ah, that is
too much waifu. Mhm. Um,
what? Go back up. What? What about the laundry? You didn't see the laundry. You
didn't see that? No. I mean, if you only
have that much space, I guess. I mean,
yeah. Okay. Okay. The only question is,
does the person who took this picture wear these or collect them?
That's a big radiator. Oh my god. That's a big radiator. So close to having all
the fans match. Get big. We have like three more. No. Oh my god. Wait, some
another person. No. No. This is that again. Wait, this is this done worse.
No. Yeah, it's You watch the video. What? That is hilarious. I am also a
blogger. Maybe this is just like the V1. Yeah. Was this a trend? It's a It's a
pretty memorable thing. Uh I think one was the correct number of times for
someone to build a computer in a pump bottle. Oh, it's a car computer. Okay,
that's pretty, Jake. It's a car computer, too. Oh, I love it. Okay, last
one. Wow, the computer now goes in the kettle. Okay, the GPU's in the kettle.
Oh, I love it. So, this is just like a trend. Okay, outro. Do the outro. If you
guys enjoyed this video, maybe check out our last roasting your setups. See you
later. Million subscribers. Billy Billy, let's go.
