Our Nerdiest Upgrade Yet

Linus and the crew team up with AMD to drop a whopping $5,000 tech makeover on Robert Oakes’ setup—think a custom NAS built around an AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT, MSI B550M board, Jonsbo N5 case and lightning-fast SSDs for video edits and bulk storage. On the desk side they beef up streaming gear with a Sony Cinema Line camera, Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface, Yamaha studio monitors and a Samsung soundbar, plus all the quirky nerd flair (Funko Pops, lightsabers and even a vintage VCR).

Between DIY build tips, AMD performance tweaks and Floatplane-only behind-the-scenes, you’ll get everything from screwdriver action to wall-mount debates. Bonus: jump into AMD’s sweepstakes for a chance to snag one of five Ryzen 9 9950X3D processors and catch all the hilarious “nerd collectible” evaluations.
