His House Burned Down. I Brought Help

When the January 2025 Southern California wildfires displaced over 300,000 people and destroyed 18,000 homes, fellow YouTuber @Bitwit lost everything—including his workspace. Linus swung by to help him get back on his feet, giving his setup a quick glow-up and salvaging as much data as possible.

The real highlight was a custom NAS build packed with an Intel Xeon E-2488 CPU, Crucial T705 4 TB NVMe SSD, G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5 RAM, a low-profile RTX 5060, and massive Seagate IronWolf Pro drives. From shelf upgrades to a fan-hunting side quest at Micro Center, Linus walks you through the entire rescue mission and the finished, fully loaded setup.
