The ULTIMATE 16-Player Gaming Setup is COMPLETE!

After a month of sourcing mini-ITX motherboards, DDR5 SO-DIMMs, NVMe SSDs, beefy GPUs and server racks, Elijah finally wraps up the 8v8 (16-machine) LAN rig Linus set him on, running on ggRock and housed in custom Hammond cabinets. From unboxing to managing 16 individual PCs, the build tackled peripheral logistics, network headaches at Whale LAN and even a few “Elijah in pain” moments before the lights flickered on.

In true Linus Tech Tips fashion, it’s a mix of hardware deep dives (think RX 9070 XT, 750W SFX PSUs and server-grade racks), rapid-fire build clips and the triumphant “IT LIVES” deployment. Spoiler: despite ping spikes and cable chaos, the ultimate party-mode battlestation lives up to its name—and yes, you can watch it all unfold in the forum thread!
