They snagged a $40,000-plus environmental test chamber at auction for just $1,000—making it Linus Tech Tips Labs’ second hardware torture box. The catch? The manufacturer went bust years ago, it hasn’t been powered up in a decade, and it’s been living outdoors in a surplus yard, so there’s bound to be rust, mystery wiring, and who knows what lurking inside.
Now the team’s scrambling to haul it in (it won’t even fit through the door!), figure out if it’s water-cooled, and actually revive the beast. No clear plan yet, but that’s half the fun—expect an adventure in teardown, troubleshooting, and (hopefully) a triumphant sign of life.
