Our Nerdiest Upgrade Yet – AMD $5000 Ultimate Tech Upgrade

Linus and the gang took Robert Oakes’ setup to the next level with a $5,000 AMD-sponsored overhaul: a custom NAS for video editing and storage built around a Ryzen 7 5800XT, MSI B550M motherboard, Jonsbo N5 case, 32GB DDR4-3600, Gen4 NVMe SSDs, and more.

They also revved up his desk for streaming and content creation with a Sony FX30 camera, Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface, Samsung Q800D soundbar, Yamaha HS5 monitors, plus a few hilarious nerd collectibles (Funko Pops, lightsabers, even a vintage VCR!). Packed with DIY tips, performance tweaks, and plenty of “did-he-really-just-do-that?” moments, it’s pure tech-obsessed fun.
