Linus and the crew teamed up with AMD for a $5 000 “ultimate upgrade,” giving Robert Oakes a complete desk-and-NAS makeover. They dropped in a Ryzen 7 5800XT, MSI B550M motherboard, Jonsbo N5 NAS case and built a killer storage solution for video editing. On the desk side, there’s a Sony FX30 camera, Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface, Samsung Q800D soundbar, Yamaha HS5 monitors and all the streaming accessories you could dream of—plus bonus nerdy collectibles like Funko Pops, lightsabers and a vintage VCR.
Along the way they unpack tons of DIY tips, performance tweaks and hilarious “mfw no GPU” moments, all broken down into handy chapters. Want more? AMD’s spooky sweepstakes is live, with five Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPUs up for grabs, and exclusive Floatplane content rounds out the fun. Check out the full build to see if Robert’s new rig—and his impulse-buy nerd gear—earned its keep!
