They scored a $40K environmental chamber for just $1K

Linus Tech Tips’ LTT Labs unexpectedly won an auction for a second environmental test chamber—originally worth over $40,000—with a lowball $1,000 bid. The catch? The manufacturer went belly-up years ago, the unit hasn’t powered on in a decade, and it’s spent all that time rotting away in an outdoor surplus yard.

A serious rescue mission

Now they’ve got to haul this beast through the doors, figure out if it’s water-cooled, and actually get any sign of life out of it. Spoiler: no one really has a plan yet, so clear your calendar for this epic restoration adventure.
