Our Nerdiest Upgrade Yet is a $5,000 AMD-sponsored tech overhaul where Linus and crew totally revamp Robert Oakes’ rig and home office. They build a beefy NAS for video editing and storage using an AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT, MSI Pro B550M-VC Wi-Fi board, Jonsbo N5 case, plus fast NVMe SSDs and a tidy Corsair PSU. Along the way you’ll get DIY tips on squeezing every ounce of performance out of your AMD gear.
But it doesn’t stop at PCs—Robert’s whole desk gets a glow-up with a Sony FX30 camera, Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface, Yamaha monitors, Samsung soundbar and fresh streaming accessories. Sprinkle in unboxing nerd collectibles (Funko Pops, lightsabers, vintage VCR!), hilarious behind-the-scenes banter, and exclusive Floatplane content, and this upgrade video is pure DIY meets pop-culture fun.
