TL;DR

Linus Tech Tips somehow snagged a $40,000-plus environmental test chamber for just $1,000 at auction—giving LTT Labs a second climate-stress box. They lowballed the bid on a whim, didn’t expect to win, and now have to figure out what they’ve gotten themselves into.

The Catch

The original manufacturer went belly-up years ago, the unit hasn’t been powered on for a decade, and it’s been sitting outside in a surplus yard ever since. Before they can stress-test any gadgets, Linus and the crew need a solid plan to get it inside, power it up, and track down replacement parts for a machine that’s been gathering dust for ages.
