Welcome to the prototype build of the pizza heater computer. What the hell is
a pizza heater computer? Well, I'm going to be building a cardboard prototype of
it. So, I've got this test bench here. As you guys can see, I'm going to build
a computer onto this in actually this configuration. There will be cardboard
surrounding this on all sides and on the bottom, which will be duct taped
together so that hopefully no heat can really escape that way. And then, where
did it go? This guy right here, case side panel, will go on the top. I'm
going to chop it up a little bit, maybe get some holes in there and stuff so that it can vent heat out. And then the
idea is you put a slice of pizza on here
and your computer keeps your pizza warm.
Yeah, this is probably the most intelligent video I've ever made on
Linus Tech Tips. I don't see anything wrong with this computer or anything
wrong with this idea. So come along with me and let us build our pizza heater
prototype.
Corsair claims unrivaled comfort and universal compatibility on its new Void
Surround headset featuring genuine Dolby 7.1 headphone USB adapter. Click the
link in the video description to learn more. First things first, I have to
build the computer, which is going to be a little bit interesting because I'm
going to use this test bench here, but the test bench doesn't really hold it
in. Like, there's no way to actually screw the board in. So, I'm probably
going to duct tape this part of this shroud thing here to the actual bench
itself. I've got a 6700 K in here. I'm just going to cool it with a stock
cooler. So, next up, we've got the graphics card. These are two 980 Ti.
They should have a pretty good amount of thermal output. Going to throw on an SLI
bridge here. Boom. Good to go. So, for
now, everything's actually going to be rather standard except for, you know,
like the cardboard case and stuff. Okay.
So, I need to align this power supply
this way cuz I want its thermal output
going up. Got my SSD. Unfortunately, I
can't just have horrible cable management and have that heat up my
computer naturally because as we saw in
this video, um, that's apparently not enough.
Okay, so that's actually kind of the system built right there, but there's
still a lot more work to do. Okay, so the graphics cards are too
tall, which is not good. Now, I wanted
to use nanos and Lionus was like, "Well, the NIS will
have more thermal output." And he's right. What do I do? More cardboard.
Okay. So, I'm going to try to chop this
stuff up cuz this is actually pretty strong cardboard. It came from super
expensive glass stuff that Brandon
ensures me will make things look very pretty.
There we go. That worked better. Stupid crappy scissors. So hopefully with this
I can just build an extension which will be tall enough that my
graphics cards don't hit the ground.
I just cut a hole in your tablecloth. I'm sorry, Brandon. So this is the
beginnings of my test bench extension.
These four little boards will hopefully enable me to make a box
to make this thing a little bit taller.
Are they strong enough? I don't know. Whatever, man. We'll figure it out.
Okay.
Uh maybe not the most stable thing ever. So, I'm just trying to make sure that
this uh duct tape is closing off any
gaps that there could be potentially
someone that like actually makes things out of cardboard is going to see this
and just cry. All right, here we go.
That actually might have worked. Or also not.
That's also a possibility. Or it did. Yeah. Yeah. Just barely, but it did. The
bench was kind of teetering on the box. So, I cut up some more cardboard, folded
it up, and then duct taped it into the side there so it has more of something
to rest on. I also did that over here in
the exact same way so that each side has more to rest on. And then the back I
spin it around here for you. I anchored down with some duct tape so that it
should hold where it is. So this so far
is the system. I'm going to put this over the uh
video outs because I have two graphics cards so I probably won't need those.
I'm just cleaning up this cardboard. It's like when you uh say back in the
old days when we were all hunters and gatherers and you had to like uh clean
your catch. That's basically what's going on. Feel pretty pretty Game of of
Thronesy. So, this is some gradea cardboard right
here. We only use AAA prime cut
cardboard here at Linus Media Group.
See how nice that cut comes out? That's how you know it's good cardboard, boys.
That way I can remember when I'm looking
at the outside of the box,
that's how everything's lined up there. Then when I do this side, I can draw it
differently. When I do this side, I can draw it differently. Again,
it's basically like having window panels around the entire thing, but I would
probably say better. Okay, so our our
front is on. Now, I'm going to install the back, which has been labeled with a
please handle with care fragile thank you sign. So, that's pretty good. So,
that's one side completed.
And moving on, it's important to try to cover up any
possible air leaks we can cuz we want
cuz we want all of the hot air
going up. Our computer box
has been completed as you can see. What
we need to move on to now is I need to
cut the holes through this so that the pizza can actually get some warmth. So,
Dremel time.
If you can't tell, I'm kind of rushing all of a sudden. It is currently the
19th, which is a Friday, and the WAN
show was supposed to start like a while ago, right there, and is being held up
by a few things. One of them being this
build. This build is extremely important. As you guys know, this is
probably one of the most
important things that I've done in a while.
Um, so
it needs to get done. This is going to be where I'm going to run all of my cables.
Okay. So now I've just got to reach down in
there, turn it on.
That didn't turn it on.
Is that power cable not plugged in or something?
Yes. Okay, now I turn it on.
Okay, that took a really long time, but we are booted, which is good.
So, I just need to get this going, get a benchmark running on it. Then we'll get
our heated pizza up on here and a control
going and then let them sit for a while and see what happens. Okay, so now,
well, I guess we need pizza to heat with the computer. So, let's order some
pizza. What can I for?
Uh, just a large simply cheese. And which type of crust did you want?
Uh, probably original hand toss. I think that'll be best for thermals.
Yeah, we'll see you in approximately 35
minutes. Okay, great. One thing, but do you know the thermal properties of your crust by
any chance? The thermal properties? Yeah.
Um, I'm not sure. Sorry.
Okay, no worries. Thanks. Great. Thank you.
Bye. Okay, so pizza's on the way. He was
not very helpful in terms of how well this is going to work, but like
whatever. I guess you can't get good customer service everywhere. Let's do
this. All right. So, we have our hopefully thermally good pizza with
original hand toss crust, which should go nicely against the metal sheet. And
it's just cheese, so there isn't any weird toppings on the top that we might have to heat up. So, now what I'm going
to do is I've got these two cooking thermometers. I'm going to put one in
each pizza, one slice of pizza. I tried to get ones that were pretty similar. I
think these guys are pretty similar. I'm going to take this one and put it up on
top of the computer and leave that sit. And then this one is
just going to sit on the edge of the table over here far enough away that it
shouldn't be affected. So this slice is running at about 16.4°
C. They're both about 16.4 degrees. And
then we'll see if we can get the temperature to increase by running some
benchmarks here. Okay, so IDA 64 is
running on the CPU. Think I just heard the CPU fan kick up a
little bit. That's good. Yeah, I can feel more air coming out of there. Now
I'm going to run Heaven full screen.
There we go. So, we will check back in a
little while, probably after the WAN Show, and see how hot these pizza slices
are.
This is the coolest thing ever. Next, you should try some eggs.
Okay, I don't think it's hot enough for that yet. But yeah, so just as an
update, guys, that pizza down there, the control pizza, is currently at 16° C.
And this one up here is at a solid 26.
So basically, the concept will work.
It's already gone up 2° while I've been standing here talking, and it's going to
keep on rising. So basically, it's going to work. Now I need to just make it not
look like literally one of the ugliest computers of all time. And hopefully
that'll be better. Now it's at 26.4, so it's still definitely climbing.

to do a Dollar Shave Club integration, I'm super unshaven.
Anyways guys, thanks for watching. Hopefully you guys liked seeing the
prototypness of this build. There will be a cleaner one later. Like I just
mentioned, if you want to see that, get subscribed. If you like this video, hit

awesome. or you can become a contributor on the forum, which is also great. If
you want to see another crazy build of mine, click up here to see part one of
the Fallout 4 bomb build. Also, I just want to say it's already at 26.8° C, so
this pizza is Yeah, it's getting warm.
