They snagged a $40K+ environmental test chamber for just $1,000

Linus & Co. accidentally outbid themselves at a surplus auction and walked away with a massive test chamber that originally retailed north of $40,000. The catch? It’s been sitting outside for years, the maker went belly-up a decade ago, and it hasn’t seen power since the early 2010s.

Now comes the fun part: reviving it

Between wrestling it through the door, inspecting for water cooling and missing parts, and actually figuring out how to power it on, the team’s got their work cut out for them. Will this box of problems become LTT Labs’ coolest tool yet, or just another glorified paperweight? Stay tuned!
